Well, hopefully you've become acquainted with the story that's been posted and browsed some of our active threads, and now you're ready to start RPing! But hold your ponies there, bub. There are some rules you gotta pore over first.
Rules :
-------------------
1. First and foremost, Princess Celestia , Princess Luna, and any other divine beings such as Discord are admin controlled , and are not available for regulars members to play. Plot points with them will be discussed and done by administrators. This is to keep balance on the board and is non-negotiable.
2. Custom characters bios ( Name, Gender, etc. ) must be posted in the Character Creation board, to keep track of all of the potential characters who pop up. This includes ponies, gryphons, dragons whatever. Please don't roleplay a creature that doesn't fit the content though. You'll just look derpy, and not the good, muffin loving kind. As if it didn't need saying: NO HUMANS.
3. All Canon Characters must be auditioned for. If you'd like to play a Canon Character please contact Head Haunches to set up an audition.
4. God modding. Don't do it. Your pony or whomever you play should not be the equivalent to Jesus or whatever religious figure you think is ballin'. Obviously some creatures are going to have special abilities and powers, but try and keep it simple and smart. Characters are kept track of and an admin will step in if they think you're going overboard.
Also: seriously, no metagaming. In role-playing games, metagaming can be defined as any out of character action made by a player's character which makes use of knowledge that the character is not meant to be aware of. In short : Don't make up random things in a thread about someone else's character that they haven't created themselves, or approved of.
5. While most us on this board are presumably teenagers or adults, we want to keep the adult content on this board to an understandable quantity on the RP boards. Heavy cursing is frowned upon during play, but light cursing is generally acceptable; if you don't know the difference just don't do it at all. Violence will undoubtedly occur, and is permissible, providing you don't turn the thread into something that would make Cupcakes look like a Disney World ride.
Furthermore, if you and whomever else feel the need to do something...promiscuous, please keep it to Private Messages or instant message programs.
Again, this only applies to actual RP. OOC chatter is a totally different story.
6. The concept of death and injury is as real in this as it is any other story, but remember that this is My Little Pony. Do not go flaying other characters alive or immediately resort to a blood bath to solve disputes. Keep in mind this includes killing characters without permission of the respective party involved. Mindless homicide really isn't as fun as you'd think it is.
7. If there is a dispute, or some sort of harassment occurring that needs to be taken care of : TELL AN ADMINISTRATOR. We're here to help, not hinder.
