EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ ENTIRELY BEFORE ROLEPLAYING.
Rules:
+General
- You know, the usual. Don't be rude to others when OOC.
- Don't godmod, and don't control other characters (unless they're NPCs).
- NO MARY-SUES/GARY-STUS. I'm serious, you guys. I hate Sues and will be extremely eager to delete them off the forum~ (Is your char a Sue? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_sue )
- Keep contents T15+ rated. So basically, anything but sex and gore goes. If you want to RP those, please refer to the "Mature Content" section below.
- Please register with anything but the name of the nation you want to claim. You can change your display name to your nation name afterwards, but don't create an account with your nation name.
-//EDIT//: Because of the number of times this has been seen, I will put this in the rules: DO NOT change your display name to your nation name, put your avatar, duty position below your avatar, and signature BEFORE being approved. This is so that confusion among approved and pending members can be avoided. THANK YOU!
+OOC and IC
- The forum is constantly IC. Please keep any OOC conversation to a minimum, and in double parenthesis or something.
- PMs can be OOC or IC at will~
- Any OOC conversation should be started in the OOC corner of the forum.
- Your profile is IC, too. So the gender you choose and the birth date you set should be your Nation's. Not yours. (it's okay if you got the birthday wrong, though, or you don't know what it is. Put your birthday and then choose the "hide birthday" option).
+Presence
- Since this is (hopefully going to be) a very active, daily-updated forum, please make an effort to at least come check the news every day.
- If you don't post in over 2 weeks, the mod (yours truly) will PM you and you'll have 3 days to confirm your presence.
-If you fail to do the above, your account will be deleted and your char, up for grabs. You're always welcome to reclaim him/her, though, if they remain untaken.
- If you're going on hiatus, please tell us so in the appropriate thread. Hiatus is any length above 2 weeks. Try not to be gone for over a month, or else you'll pretty much miss everything.
- To keep in the spirit of IC and roleplaying, if you have to go on hiatus, please tie up all your current RPs and make something happen to your char to justify his/her absence off the forum: EX.: accident, quarantine, on a mission, coma, flown back to Europe for dealing with a national crisis, etc... Get creative
+Mature Content
- Roleplaying mature content is A-OK as long as you mention it in the title of the thread as "M-rated". If mature content comes up unexpectedly as you RP, please mark the beginning of the mature content with an OOC comment, as well as the end, if there is one.
EX.: [[Warning: Mature content ahead]] They had sweet beautiful sex. And there was gore. [[End of mature content]]
-Rape is frowned upon (also because dude, they're in a survival situation here, the last they'd need is a traumatized Nation on their hands) UNLESS the roleplayers agree on it. As long as the implicated people are consenting, the characters can be as unwilling as you like. Ohgodzombierape *has actually read a kink meme fill with rapist zombies in it ;A;*
+Enemies
- You don't need the mod to have enemies appear in your RP. You can control zombies to a certain degree, as long as it's not abusive.
-BUT, if you actually want to RP against ACTUAL zombies, just call upon the Zombie Mod, and they'll come see you where you are to RP against you as a zombie.
- Enemies cannot kill you (Nation godmodding, go!), but CAN infect you. To learn what to do in that case, refer to the IC Information section.
- As long as you RP outside the stronghold, there is always a chance that the Zombie Mod will randomly infiltrate your RP and attack you. If, for reasons XYZ, you don't want the Zombie Mod in your RP, send him/her a PM with the title of the RP and a GOOD reason as to why you don't want a zombie around. And the Zombie Mod can decline if your alibi isn't strong enough. Cause come on, guys. Let's keep it real. Nobody here has a zombie-repellent spray they carry around all the time.
+Characters
-All canon chars are allowed, but no genderbends! OC's are also welcome. This is a Nations RP in a Zombie apocalypse!AU.
-Canon chars don't need to fill out the "appearances" section of their application, but the OCs do. Obligatory.
-Since this is a 3rd person RP, character verbal ticks should be observed, without actually spamming them, either (EX.: Ve~, aru, da ze~, etc...)
+ Posts
-They should be literate and well-spaced (please). It's unpleasant to read badly spelled words, missing punctuation and blocks of text.
-Long posts are encouraged, but make sure you are making as least errors as possible. Put commas where needed and end sentences with a period. And please, for the love of scones, LEAVE SPACES. Try not to make paragraphs longer than 5 lines.
- If you want, you can write a character's speeches in different colours, but you won't actually need to since you'll be skipping lines at the beginning of a dialogue.... Right? >:I
-The content of your posts is open (respect M-rate themes), and as long as they're not 90% swears, coarse language is just fine.
-Try to avoid 1-liners, unless the other roleplayer seems to want to continue their previous post with minimal situation development. But really. Try to keep it to a minimum of 3 lines per post.
+ Missions
-Please refer to the "Mission Rules" section for extra guidelines if you plan on participating in missions. And please do so. The heart of this forum experience is in the missions~
And if you've read all of these rules, you can now go create/update your application by adding in the codeword at the bottom! The codeword can be found by combining the first letter of the rules given below!
SECTION/RULE NUMBER
1/2 ---> ____
2/3 ---> ____
3/5 ---> ____
5/3 ---> ____
6/3 ---> ____
Codeword (it's edible~): _ _ _ _ _
And you just got a taste of how missions will work. The entire forum is going to be based on riddles and hint-finding like this.
Anyways, thanks for bearing with the huge post! I swear I'm not a bitch if you guys respect the rules (:
