General Rules
No flaming - Try to get along with the other members of the site. We don't want insults being thrown left, right and center and we don't want stupid fights, either.
No baiting - That is, trying to provoke a reaction out of someone. This isn't acceptable either.
Swearing - We don't mind a small swear word here or there, but please, please don't make every other word a swear word.
No Spamming - We don't appreciate it on this site. 'Nuff said.
No Plagiarizing - We don't want you stealing the creative property of other people, so don't.
Respect the Staff - They're there for a reason. If you can't listen to them and you can't show respect to them, you need to find yourself another site.
Character Rules
4 Characters max - You may make a maximum of four characters. They may all be on the same account and we expect you to keep links to their profiles in your signature for easy access, as well as to help us keep a track of who belongs to who. Accounts are also expected to match the name of one of your characters - For example, if one of your characters is, say, Marco, you could make your account name Marco.
Rank Limit - We will only allow a maximum of one Shichibukai/Yonkou/Admiral character to anyone. This is to keep things fair and stop people from hogging top spots. In addition, while you may have as many pirate characters as you like, we would prefer that you only have one Pirate Captain character. However, you may only claim a Pirate Captain spot if there are free spots for Pirate Captains (This is to help get Pirate Crews filled up).
RP Rules
No Godmodding - Godmodding takes a variety of forms, none of which are allowed. The first is not to do things with the other character without the other RPers permission.- that is, don't post something like "Shiki grabbed the pirate by the throat". This should be "Shiki brought his hand up, reaching out to grab the pirate by his throat" or something along those lines.
Then, of course, there is dodging - DO NOT DODGE EVERY ATTACK. I don't care if you have Soru or whatever, dodging attacks and not getting hit all the time is not allowed. Even the strongest have to take hits. Speaking of which, when you get hit, the most important part of taking that hit is its effects - Don't just take a hit and ignore the pain like it was a mosquito. If a hit hits, it hurts.
Keep it PG 13 - We don't want really gory threads or threads with sexual content cluttering the place. If you must, ask a member of staff for the password to the Mature Thread board.
Posting Order - We here obey posting order, and we expect you to follow it. If you need to know the order, just think of the order. If you joined in second in a group of five, it would go like this:
Player 1
You
Player 3
Player 4
Player 5
And after Player 5 it would go back to 1. Simple, ne?
3rd Person - All posts must be done in 3rd person.
Posting Quantity - We here are aware that generally, quality beats quantity. But we also realize that if you don't provide much, the guy you're posting with can only do so much. So as a rule, we generally want you to keep up posts of at least 300 words long. Its not much to ask for, is it?
Punishments:
1st Offence - Warning
2nd Offence - 2nd Warning
3rd Offence - One Day Ban
4th Offence - One Week Ban
5th Offence - Perma-Ban.
