Of course, as with any great forum there is a set of rules in which all members, including staff, must abide by. These rules are not here to make anything more difficult or less entertaining for the members, they are merely meant to create an environment in which all are welcome.
Language
- Language must maintain a PG-13 rating. This is a policy set forth by Proboards. Sexual language must be at a minimum. Sex must be blacked out completely.
- Grammar must be moderately good. We do not require anyone to write a language thesis, however please use grammar your eighth grade teacher would approve of.
- General boards will not be required to maintain a level of grammar that the RP boards suggest, however all posts must be legible. No leet speak or excessive use of abbreviations can be used.
- Absolutely NO use of abbreviations, chat speak, or leet speak will be used in the RP boards.
Characters and RPG
- Godmodding is absolutely not allowed. You are not invincible. As well, whatever your display name is, that is the only character that you may play.
- No character is perfect. Everyone has flaws both in appearance and in personality. Everyone fears something. Everyone has blemishes.
- When you roleplay, there is a minimum requirement of two paragraphs per post.
- You may only role play with characters who have been accepted.
- OOC notes are allowed, however you can not have OOC notes in every single post. There is a PM messaging system that you can use for that purpose.
- This is an alternate universe Hunger Games, yes, but you may NOT use celebrities that were in the Hunger Games movies as your character play-by. This is expressly forbidden.
- A celebrity can only be used as a play-by by one character only, unless there are identical twins or triplets. When you reach quadruplets, please begin to have fraternal siblings.
- Characters can die. They must be approved by staff before they can happen unless it is done during the Hunger Games.
- A year will last only three months (our time) in the RP universe. A Hunger Games will be held each year.
- A Quarter Quell will be held once every twenty five years.
- The sentence above should be placed in the section of your profile that says "Additional Comments" to confirm that you read our rules. Failure to do so will result in your application being denied.
Hunger Games
- Individual plots are allowed in most situations. However, if your character is reaped into the Hunger Games, all plots MUST end immediately and no new plots may begin unless your character is announced a victor.
- Volunteers are allowed except for during Quarter Quells. However if multiple volunteers arise within one district, there will be a separate reaping for those volunteers.
- There are five attributes each character will posses based on a variety of questions that they will be asked in the character. These attributes include: Strength, Defense, Stealth, Intelligence, and Stamina. These attributes will be used in different scenarios including battle, survival, and training. They will, like training, be on a one to twelve scale, where one is the lowest and twelve is the highest.
- These skills can be increased through various RP sessions.
- There is no person who is absolutely perfect. The Hunger Games Victor will be decided by a series of battles that are based on a fair scale, not because any one character attempted to give themselves utter perfection.
- There will be at least one gamemaker for each games. If there is no gamemaker selected, President Sepha will step in as the Gamemaker.
