The Rules--read after Introduction \[Must Read\]

[Daine Fairchild]

PLEASE READ THESE RULES BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE
I realize that it is a bit long, but this is to make it easier for everyone when it comes to actually roleplaying. If you do not read these rules, you'll be banned.

Setting:
The time takes place in the current year (2006).
We're not too concerned about the order of things--so yes, you can post in two different places at once. However, the date you post the message is about the time that the post takes place.

Before joining Amar Gûl, you must first sign-up for an account on this board.

Power Playing:
This is not allowed.
What is it?
This is when you're controlling another player's character.
What happens:
All the messages after and including the powerplaying message itself, is deleted and the plot starts back from before the power playing occurred. The offender is asked to re-write. This can be a hassle to those who posted after the offender so please do not powerplay.

God Modding:
This is not allowed.
What is it?
This is when your character knows information that she or he has not been told in character. Even if you know something, if the character has not discovered it in character, than he or she does not know it.
What happens:
All the messages after and including the god modding message itself, is deleted and the plot starts back from before the god modding occurred. The offender is asked to re-write. This can be a hassle to those who posted after the offender so please do your best to not god mod.

If god modding or power playing occurs:
You will be warned several times--by the fifth time, you will be banned. IF YOU NOTICE SOMEONE GOD MODDING OR POWER PLAYING, PLEASE TELL DAINE FAIRCHILD (username: admin).

No Perfect Characters
No person is perfect. In your character application form, you must include weaknesses and you must incorporate them into your roleplaying.

Objects
No anime things or anything close to anime.

Multiple Characters
You can have a maximum of 3 characters. More about multiple characters will be explained in the Character Applications Section.

~You must write in 3rd person.
Example:
She walked instead of she walks.

Please remain active. The others who are involved in a RP thread with you will find it inconvenient if you are not posting for a long time. Please post in the Leave of Absence board in the OOC section that you will not be able to post in awhile if you can not post in awhile for some reason.

What NOT to do:
No unauthorized deaths.
No swearing.
No slang, please--use proper English
No post flooding or excessive posting--give other players a chance to post.
If you're under 15 years of age, you must submit a 200 word role play sample. We're sorry about this, but you must include it in your character application form if you're under 15.

We have the right not to accept someone into our RPG.

THE END

You have reached the end of the rules (hooray!). To prove that you have read the rules, please post the following in your message when you have read through all the Information on Amar Gûl (no this is NOT the information): staff
