The Rules
- The most important rule is the following: The admin are GODS. Like most gods, we love you and want to be your friend, and help you out, and all that fun stuff. However, we are gods in the sense that we control who comes on here, who sees what, who does what, and who gets thrown off of the planet... er... board. So be nice to us.
- If the admin are gods, the staff are basically our deites, baby gods, pegasuses, three headed dogs... you get what I'm saying. You need to respect them as well. You MUST respect them as well.
- Standard rules apply here- no power playing, no godmoding, no mary sues. If you don't know what these are... please. Don't join. Or look it up if you simply have to join in on our fun.
- When responding to a roleplay post, you must have a minimum of 250 words. If the person you are roleplaying with has 4 paragraphs, and you post one, you are likely to lose a roleplaying partner. First word is Peter. However, if your partner only does the bare minimum of 250 words, you're welcome to only do the bare minimum as well. No One Liners.
- The Cbox is a quick and convienant method of talking to everyone at once. Don't abuse this. We can see IP addresses, and we know who did what. Don't use the Cbox for fighting, advertising, or anything other then merely chatting. The rules for the Cbox also apply to the OOC boards.
- However, fights happen. If you feel you can't deal with it, or you are being harassed or bullied by a member or even a guest, save all messages or copy the conversation and report it to an admin. If you are the one participating in the harassment or bulling, you'll recieve a warning. You only get one warning. Our safety phrase for RTN is "I'm at the end of my leash." This means whatever is going on is no longer a joke to you, and the offenders need to stop. If this phrase is used and not abided to, offenders will be suspended or even banned. Refer here.
- Please use the handy little spell check button! A few misspellings are fine, but if you type "liek tis and u dun't no y u r irtating pepole, tri a spell cheker plz!"
- If you're going to be a canon, you need to be active. Second word is is. Canons must post once every three days at most, unless you have made special arrangements via the absence board.
- You may have a grand total of four characters for this board... at max one canon and three original characters. Please try to keep your ratio of male to female characters even, ie) if you have a boy, maybe next time make a girl. If we need you to double up on canons we will make an exception to the one canon rule... or even four characters rule. If it isn't needed, and you just want five characters... don't even think about asking. Bah, you know what, if you're active and an admin clears it, you don't really have a limit. As long as all of the characters are equally used, and equally loved, you're good. But we're selective, just so you know...
- NO MATURE MATERIAL ALLOWED, else we'll be deleted sorry.
- You're welcome to kill off any character of yours you'd like, but you must okay births with an administrator. We will be regulating these births... IE gender and things like that. Third word is our. You can have a child if you have four characters already, but you need to find someone to play that child who doesn't mind.. preferably your partner.
- Staff is here to deal with drama and stress. If something happens and we feel the urge to let the site know about the event, we will let you know. However, if we don't, please don't ask us about it. If it's not about you, and doesn't affect you, it's none of your business until we say it is.
- Don't you DARE relate a character to a canon without permission. There is no fifth Pevensie sibling, and Caspian does not have a younger sister. If you even try I swear Peter will stab your Mary Sue OC in the throat before you can even start RPing.
- Please don't break the page with your humungous giant signature. Sure, you do great work, but if it's over 600 pixels wide and 500 long, it's getting deleted, and that number is really pushing it. Fourth and final word is King. Aim at the highest for 500 by 300. Things happen, so we're leniant, but be smart about it.
- NO MARY SUES. You are not in love with Caspian/Peter/Edmund and they are not madly in love with you. If the admin feel that your character is becoming a mary sue, Peter will come in to put that thing out of it's misery. We've dealt with this before... we're professionals. So no Mary Sues. Please. We aren't saying you're forbidden from having a romance with a canon. By all means, go for it. But you can't charge in here and expect to have married King Edmund and have five beautiful children. Plottage takes time.
