No Godmodding
You control your character... other people control theirs. The only exception would be where you write minor actions in order to keep the post moving e.g there is an explosion and you all start running. But other that that NO. You also CANNOT kill anyone else's character unless you have ok'd it with them and admin beforehand.
Post Style
Write in the third person (he/she) past tense. For example, not
but
and write as if you were telling a story. None of this ::action::. Speech in speechmarks "like this" and thoughts in italics Anything out of character should be in double brackets ((like this)) but please keep OOC comments to a minimum
Post length
I'm not setting a limit... but be sensible. doesn't really make up a post.. it's just 3 words! Talk about how your character is feeling, what they're thinking, what else is going on around them... Having said that, don't write a novel! Just have fun, and be creative
Mature Content
There may well be sex, violence, drugs etc in the RP. I'm not setting an age limit, but if you don;t think you can deal with that then please consider carefully before joining up and don't complain about it. However, at the other end of the scale, don't get too graphic or explicit. If you think some people might be offended by what is going to happen in your post please put an OOC warning before you start the RP.
Fighting style - No Powerplaying and Keep it REAL
Neither you nor your character are God. It's likely that there will be fighting at some stage.. but there is a right and wrong way to RP it.
Firstly, the attacker. Remember Godmodding? You don't say what your attack does, but what you're aiming to do. For example...
would be wrong.
would be right. See the difference?
Next, the person being attacked. You decide what the attack does. But remember that you're not invincible. If someone keeps stabbing at you, then eventually you're going to get cut. You can't avoid everything.
Finally, realism. If you get hit in the arm, it will slow you down, hurt etc. If you fight for a long time you'll get tired... get the drift? You're not superhuman.
That's about it for the moment... if anything changes you will be notified. The rules are just there to make everything easier and more fun. I'm not going to delete you if you break them!! But please just play nice. Thanks.

Sawyer stabbed him in the arm with the knife

Sawyer lunged at him with the knife, hoping to stab him in the arm
