Basic Rules
- Everyone is only allowed one character. We prefer to have an as large variety of players as possible.
- Please do not flame any of the other members. Drama will not be tolerated. Let’s all get along and RP nicely.
- Even though we have no word limit, make sure that your posts are of a reasonable length. Try to write at least two paragraphs. Absolutely no oneliners! If you write a longer post, the one you’re RPing with has more to work off for their reply.
- Please post at least once a week to stay active. If you are leaving or will be absent for a certain amount of time, please let us know by posting in the hiatus section. Posting in the OoC sections does not count as activity. We will hold an activity check every month to check who is and isn’t active. Inactive characters will be dropped.
- Unless you’re on an OoC board, please stay in character.
Application
- After reserving, you will have one week to complete your application. After that, your reservation is up and someone else can take the character. You can ask for one additional week on your reservation, but after that you can’t reserve them anymore.
- OCs and genderbends are allowed here. Only no mary sues and only one gender per character. So if we have a Fem!Japan no male!Japan is allowed.
- Do not post anywhere before your application is accepted. you are allowed to make an account however.
- Please keep your character descriptions realistic. Do not give them traits or features that are unrealistic in any way.
- You may use the language that pertains to your character. Please just make sure to leave a translation for everyone in a footnote.
Chatbox Rules
- Please keep it PG-13.
- The cbox is OoC by default. You can have little RPs in the cbox though. If you notice an RP is going on, but wish to continue speaking in OoC, use brackets. It’s less confusing this way.
- If there is a serious conversation going on, you are of course allowed to join. But don’t just storm in with something completely unrelated. It’s rude.
- The cbox is a place for fun, not for picking fights.
Other
- Label your threads accordingly.
[name] – For when you only want to roleplay with the person who’s name is in the brackets.
[open] – For when the thread is open to anyone.
[name/open] – This means the person who’s name is given has to post first before anyone else can. - Both god-modding and powerplaying are a definite no. If you don’t know what it means, look it up. It’s rude, really. Total no-no.
- Any fighting OoC will not be tolerated. F you are caught doing this, you may be banned from the site. If you know of anyone who has been OoC fighting, then please let one of the admins know.
- If you use a picture in your signature, make sure it's not over 200 pixels high. There are no limits on the width, just make sure it doesn't stretch anything.
- Please keep all advertising in the appropriate board. Make sure to be wary of any links posted. We can not be held responsible for any links you choose to visit. We will do our best to keep bad links off, but we can’t make promises.
- If you have read the rules, please mention “Fishies” in your application.
- There will be absolutely no flaming nor whining about any pairings that the roleplayers choose to engage in, regardless of genders, taboos, your liking for the couple, etc. You have been warned.
- Administrators have the final say. No matter what. If you have concerns, please bring them to the staff.
- Have fun and be yourself! We want you to enjoy your stay here!
These rules are subject to change. If any changes are made, it will be announced by an admin in the announcement board.
