These are my simple rules so simply follow them. Any suggestions or improvements on rules, by all means bring it up with me!
1) No Cybering! Like in any good RP keep it PG-13. Simple. Now, I know sex happens but black it out at that point, if you really need to RP it then move it to chat or something. Not saying no sex, but remember not all people on ET or 18 so for those who can't watch, keep it off screen.

2) No God Moding! I'm tired of writing this rule but it has to be done. This is very simple people. You are not immortal, you can get injured, diseased, cursed, ect... Take the hit, even if it's just a hit every now and then. I'm not saying get sliced up on a regular basis but be realistic. Although I should caution you, if something will kill you I suggest you try to stop it because revival is hard in this RP.

3) No Powerplaying! Another simple rule, don't do just try. This means that when fighting you can't actually do something but only try it. Like instead of Jill trips Jack making him fall down the hill, it should be Jill tries to trip Jack to make him fall down the hill. Now not only does Jack get the chance to dodge but also, being of comical nature, he can tell how he fell and make it more comical than just falling down.

4) Now that those three basics are out of the way I have some specific ones like OOC time! If you wish to speak OOC (Out Of Character) then I suggest you write in the comments. Also while playing the game you are not allowed to know anything that the others have not revealed in game. Easy to remember okay. The only thing we can use a person's character sheet for while playing is their appearance, the rest is for player knowledge not character knowledge.

5) New people have an easy rule. When you come in you aren't allowed to read too many posts back. If it's a fight or maybe we are just walking around and you see us then come in but know that you cannot know what has happened yet since you haven't been around the whole time so don't look at what we've done so far. However I'll give you a break down of some rumors so your character has some situational awareness when coming in.

6) The whole time thing. I don't have a set time limit for when you have to post but make it frequent. I do want this wiki to be active and definitely not go dead. If you know you will be away from the internet for a long time then message me and then either you or I can write why you are leaving the group. If you quit the wiki and tell me then either you or I, [Hiuko], can write your permanent leave or if you stop writing with no explanation then I will either make your character an NPC or write your death and I will make it cruel and painful. Aren't I nice! At least once a week if you are in an important position in the RP.

7) Magic! As we all know it is a wonderful thing with huge potential and it can do magnificent things. However what is not wonderful are the DoC and DoT spells. (Death on Contact and Death over Time) These are not allowed simply because they take away the fun.

8) The last rule brings up the next two rules. You do not have unlimited stamina. I don't care what race you are it doesn't matter, we all get tired.

9) Rule eight leads to this rule. No massive spells. These will drain too much stamina and you will die. So if you want to cast a fireball the size of the sun you'll die well before it gets to be the size of an elephant. There, elephant sized is as big as it can get and you can only cast a spell that big once and then you'll be drained for the day. I'm basically saying, set limits... or else.

10) Play as your character would. I suggest making a character that acts like you this way you can just be yourself while you play and then you see of they evolve. No you can still play them because now you have a good understanding of why they are how they are now.

11) Sense of judgment. We all have it but sadly we don't use it. I suggest you use your sense of judgment so you can stay in the RP.

12) No guns, or any modern equipment. This is set in a midevil fantasy world not futuristic. Yet we have flying ships...

13) Be descriptive because sometimes people don't understand what your typing.

14) A rule for everyone but especially GM's! This is not your quest, it is not anyone's quest but it is all of our quests put together. GM's do have the say on what happens in the certain situation but the GM must include everyone, equal opportunity.

15) No powerful characters at first. This is an RP to make peoples stronger progressively. I reserve the right to reject your strong character and I will tell you weaker or no deal.

16) No static characters or RP specific characters. A static character is one that doesn't change. He is the soldier who walks into battle, seeing all his close friends die, and comes back perfectly fine... in other words, non-existent. An RP specific character is one that was made only for that particular wiki and that is not the purpose here. This purpose of this wiki is for dynamic transverse characters. So you must make characters that can change and go to other, similar genre RPs.

17) If you have any suggestions, comments, complaints, than contact me, [Hiuko] and I'll see if I can get off my butt and do some more work to make this place a better place for you and all. (Note that I go with what is better for the majority not just one person if I can pick between the two.)

18) Last and but definately not least, please try to use correct spelling and of course no net slang or leet speak I Ki11z t3h L337 5p34kz0r5!
