The Rules

[Dickon Sowerby]

Although we are a fairly easygoing RP, there are a few rules that must be followed. If you have any problems or suggestions/comments, feel free to pm me.

General

• No fighting. We're all here to make friends and roleplay, not create enemies, okay?
  
• Do not post any offensive material, let's keep this site PG. No full-frontal nudity, little to no sexual references, and absolutely no discrimination or offensive terms. Swear words are also prohibited, but words like 'd**n' and 'hell' are alright, as long as they're not used constantly.
  
• Please be fair and courteous to others and their beliefs.
  

WHILST ROLEPLAYING

• No godmodding or power playing is allowed whatsoever. This means you cannot RP anyone but the character that you have be assigned.
  
• No text-speak. This is stuff such as '2day' instead of 'today' and '4eva' instead of 'forever'. I despise that. We're not texting someone here, it's a legitimate roleplay.
  
• Interact with other members! How can you roleplay if you're always alone? Don't be afraid to bump into Mary, step on Dickon's foot accidentally, or strike up a conversation with Ben Weatherstaff!
  
• If there are problems regarding how other people are role-playing, or how it's going, or if you're uncomfortable with how other character's are treating you in the RP, please contact me. I do not want you to feel uncomfortable in any way.
  

CHARACTERS

• No part-creatures. This is not based on a fantasy book/movie, so part-creatures do not exist.
  
• If you wish to create an original character that is of Mary, Colin and Dickon's generation, then they will need to be either one of Dickon's and Martha's siblings (they have ten, after all), or come from the nearest town.
  
• I am the person who accepts characters. As such, if I do not accept your character, I will not accept them unless you change some things. I will tell you what needs to be changed, if anything.
  
• Please try your very best not to create a Mary Sue or Gary Stu. If you do not know what a Mary Sue/Gary Stu is, then ask me.
  

CONSEQUENCES
If the rules are broken by one person a significant amount of time, then action will have to be taken. What happens depends on the rule(s) broken and/or how many times the rule(s) is/are broken.

Thanks for reading this, and enjoy roleplaying!
