Rules..., Read them and weep

[Jocelyn Tomeras]

1
Be respectful of all other players. This is the most important rule. If everyone isn't able to play and have fun, then there's little point to trying to keep a place like this open. Try and be considerate.

2
Please do not god-mode. This means that if a fight or other such altercation happens, don't break out some god-like power and try to instantly destroy everyone and everything. Be realistic, please.

3
Ask for consent from other players before you do something that could alter or hurt their character. It's okay to add some conflict in the RP, just make sure it's alright with those that will be involved in it first.

4
Keep OOC (Out-Of-Character) talk in whispers. If it's something that needs to be publicly said, then use the brackets ( [ ] ) to show that you're talking OOC and not IC before and after what it is you need to say. This is to keep the enjoyment of being In Character consistant.

5
If you have a problem with someone OOC, please try and solve it in a civil manner. The operators of the channel are not here to deal with squabbles between players or arguements of a personal nature, we are here to make sure the channel is maintained. If trouble is started, both parties will be asked to leave until it can be resolved. Again, keep any arguments in the form of whispers so you don't disturb others please.

6
This is a medieval tavern. Please do not use modern devices such as lighters or guns.

7
We worked hard on this Dream. This was created because we wanted to bring a place for people to come in and play, to have fun and relax. Please be considerate and Do not copy, alter or use any of the objects in the dream or on this page! Respect the people who brought you this place by leaving their work as it is and not claiming it as your own.

8
Everyone is welcome to role-play here. Everyone. That's because everyone has the ability to type out at least a two or three-line post. But those who choose not to put forth the effort into their posts are asked not to participate and find somewhere else to go. We're not asking you to make a longer post because the one-line posts are bad, but rather because posting one, long thought turns out better than posting five or six times between someone else's playing, creating less to try and read between it all. It looks better and is more space-efficient.

9
'u' 'ur' and 'l8r' are not words. No, seriously. I'm not trying to pull a fast one. They're really not part of the English dictionary. If you can not accept this, you can not play here. Finish grade school first.

10
It is a shame that I have to make a rule for this, but please have an original character. Not someone you ripped off of a game, show, movie, or book. We like originality here.

11
Have a decent description. It helps others know what your character looks like.

12
Do not advertise for other dreams. Two strikes, and you're banned.

13
Keep swearing or forms of cuss words to a minimum, please. Let's not corrupt the younger ones too much.

14
Do not use information acquired OOCly in an IC situation.

15
Characters with supernatural powers will not be tolerated in the dream unless you have approval from the dream owner.

These rules can also be found on the website.
