RULES
Yo. We didn’t exactly have a rules page and I thought that might be confusing/off-putting for new members, so here they are. Most are self-explanatory. We’re very relaxed here and these rules are mostly guidelines just to make sure everyone’s happy and having fun.
One) No powerplaying/godmodding. Ask before you do anything to someone else’s character that injures them. You can’t say, “Bob punched Felix and broke his nose” if you play Bob and someone else plays Felix. Likewise, your character’s aren’t invincible. You may say that your character threw a punch but don’t say it landed, and you can’t dodge every hit.
Two) Keep realistic standards. Don’t make a 16 year old ninja master. Prodigies are fine, but once again, just keep their talents realistic.
Three) Keep it PG-13. We allow swearing, violence, alcohol/drug consumption, and sexual themes, however, if your characters are going to do the dirty do, fade to black. You may say and reference that something happened, but there is no porn on the boards. Thank you. Also please keep in mind Metric Academy is a prestigious Academy. Kids will be kids, but the Academy has its limits to what it will tolerate your characters doing before they'll be expelled.
Four) Respect other roleplayer’s boundaries. Going off of rule three, though we as a forum allow for all these things, if a roleplayer states that they are not comfortable with anything do not do that thing with them or their characters. Contact me (Kenzie) if anything makes you uncomfortable and I can address it, but we’re all friends here, so you should feel free to tell them yourself.
Five) Keep personal drama out of the roleplay. Self-explanatory.
Six) Character references should be real-life people (actors/actresses or otherwise) and not anime pictures. Just to keep everything the same and organized. The only exception to this is if you’ve drawn your own reference.
Seven) If a posting order is agreed upon, follow it. Not every thread has a required order and you may feel free to run those as you wish. However for big, everyone-inclusive threads that have a posting order agreed upon, they shall be followed. If someone has not posted for 24 hours in a big thread and didn’t give a valid reason or warning for disappearing, they may be skipped if everyone else in the thread agrees. Though if skipped, they can feel free to jump back in at any time.
Eight) Kenzie can add or subtract from these rules at any time. Thanks for reading!
