RULES
(These rules do not exclude the OPs. They enforce as well as follow these rules.)
The rules for this page may not be the same as for the mother site and room CFX-Calibur. Rules that should have special attention paid to them are in light blue, if you are creating a first or even second time character it is highly recommended that you read through this page in it's entirety
Respect-
All players must show respect to the Ops and to the other players in the room. If a person is disrespectful the OPs have permission to kick that person at their discretion.
-This includes forced playing/fighting, rude OOC comments of any kind and anything else one might normally deem disrespectful. There is a zero tolerance policy for Racism. If violated you will be banned for a minimum of one week, The only racial slur allowed is of course. 'Mutie' in any of it's various forms. Period.
Mandatory Approval and Regulations-
If you fail to do this, you may not RP or speak IC.
If you break these rules you will be warned then banned.
Marvel Mutant RP Only-
That is what the room is for. The characters and their powers must reflect this. This means no vampires, witches, ect. Although powers can mimic these.
Failing to follow this will result of banning of the character until fixed.
OOC Rules(Out of character)-
OOC in the room will be kept to the essential minimum, allowing comments such as "location?" or ones for clarification and greetings ONLY. These comments must be in brackets (( )). OOC conversations should be held in a PM.
This can be punished as seen fit by the OP, but usually starting with a warning, kick, then banning.
When using OOC to relate to IC, one should take other characters and realism in to account. This includes 'Fast Forwarding' during travels and sudden aging of any characters. Fast Forwarding should be used only in the event of long travels, or an event that doesn't need full explanation and doesn't involve other characters. If you have questions about FF, ask an OP or a senior player. The aging of characters is subject to approval, but it should be noted that this should be avoided at all costs. It can make for bad RP and can effect characters outside your own.
No God Moding or Power Gaming-
This is a way of pre-determining another character's fate and is therefore not allowed.
If an OP believs you are moding, you will first be warned. If it continues we have the right for a complete ISP ban. This includes "I saw it happen" and "knows it happens."
Fighting Rules-
Fighting should be done only in para style, requiring� about 3 lines, and ordered turn based. Moves without these requirements will be nulled. No time travel, ie, if a person makes an attack and you fail to succesfully block it, you can't go back after confirmation if made of the hit in their 2nd post. This rule will always be followed with the exception that the move's success is fatal and the player has not given approval for death, but you will take the fullest amount of damage possible in those cases. This sounds confusing, if you feel it is, ask an OP.
Permission Killing Only-
Everyone has the right to continue to RP with his or her character. However, if they ok their own death, coming back to life unless specifically approved, is forbidden, not to mention it is considered bad RP and will result in banning. In addition, if you knowingly put your character in a situation they can't survive, you'll be warned and given one chance to fix it, otherwise
they will suffer the full damage the situation dictates. Ex/ Your character is in close proximity to an explosion without real means of defence.
Character Creation Limitations-
-Approval by two (2) OPs ( @ ) and submission of a bio.
-Characters who have been inactive for a given period of time without first notifying the head OP are subject to mandatory re-approval.
-Only three ( 3 ) characters are allowed per person. Four characters can be approved provided you can rotate those four characters evenly. A 5th can be approved for anyone who's been active with the room consistantly for over a year. The 5th character is also subject to the terms of even character rotation.
-Limited powers are: Telepathy, Telekinesis, Energy Manipulation, Speed/Strength, Magnetism and Metal Related Powers. They are all limited for first time characters. This means you will be set to stricter limits than those who have proven their responsibility with such powers. Once you've proven you can simply follow the rules you will of course be allowed the full priveledges of any other member.
-Characters related to other characters must get permission before RP.
-Only three (3) powers allowed per character. If three mutations are used they must be related!!
-Each character may have only one limited power. This does not apply to characters already created, though it does apply to any changes and advancements in their powers. Telekinesis and Telepathy may be approved together with no 3rd ability at an OPs discretion, not for first time players.
- First time players must wait a minimum of 3 weeks before creating a second character.
- It is recommended and highly encouraged, though not mandatory that you make a bio page for your character, this will ensure that they are placed appropriately on the site and allows other plays to view your character. It has also been our tradition.
Story Line Approval-
All story lines must be approved. Any SL including temporary characters, damage to Official Team Bases, severe destruction of city buildings and or monuments, extensive involvement of many other characters in the room or advancement in powers must be approved by at least two ( 2 ) OPs one of which HAS to be one of the co-owners. Pregnancies should also be discussed with an OP. This keeps the room realistic.
Failure to follow these rules will result in nullment and possible ban.
Technology Approval-
Technology within the room must be approved by two OPs, one of which should be a head OP. Every day techonology such as cell phones and lap tops do not need approval, but advanced weaponry, specialized gadgets, any alien technology and other such things are subject to approval. For approval, one should keep in mind that your character should have the means to obtain the desired technology, have a viable purpose for it, and all technology should logically fit in to the world of the RP, and should preferably fit in to the real world if possible.
R-Rated Room-
This means you can use explicit language and love scenes, however, these are to be kept in check, going too far with scenes or cursing is NOT allowed, nor is it courtious, it can result in any fitting punishment.
No Clan Tags/Advertising-
You will first be warned, kicked, then banned.
Advertising for other rooms, etc. will also not be tolerated. Expect a warning, followed by kicking and possibly banning if you advertise.
Mind Speak and Phones-
Please keep mind speak in ~ ~ and phone conversations in :: :: This helps to keep clarity in the room.
