BREAKING THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN TEMPORARY BANNING OR PERMANENT DELETION OF YOUR ACCOUNT
(Remember, these are just the RP Rules, there is a separate list of Forum Rules)
1, the golden rule: You must read the rules and instructions before beginning RPing. (Including Forum Rules)
2. No killing people without their permission (meaning ask them in the discussion thread or over PM).
3. Follow the board rules.
4. Your character cannot accomplish the impossible, keep it realistic.
5. After creating your main RP character, you must change your SN to your character's name. This doesn't have to be done right away, but should be done shortly after your character has been created. This is done by clicking on profile... or your name... modify profile, then change the user name.
6. You are allowed as many RP characters as you think you can handle. However, please note at the top of each post which character you are posting for! It also helps to have each character have their own text color. Also, if you have more than one main RP character, what the one has the other does not have the same thing (this includes knowledge as well as items)!
7. Your character can't be in two places at the same time.
8. Your character or your character's pokemon cannot read other character's or their character's pokemon thoughts without permission.
9. When you purchase something, you must subtract the credits spent from your current amount of money. Don't cheat when managing your money.
10. You are not allowed to give yourself -or other members for that matter- your/their allowance, this will be done by a mod or admin.
11. Your character can't harass other characters, if you annoy someone you will be warned and expected to stop doing so.
12. Your character can't just "have" stuff, you have to purchase items (With an exception of what you start out with). In some cases this rule may be bendable, so talk to a mod or admin if you aren't sure about something concerning what you're character may own.
13. You can't play for other member's characters without their permission, unless it is a small sentence. (Sometimes mods or admins may be able to play for them without their permission).
14. Only Mods and Admins are allowed to have gym or organization leaders, elite masters, or professors as player characters. Just because your title may say you are a pokemon master or elite, doesn't mean your character is. Those titles refer to your post count.
15. Unless you have a pokemon that can transport (and you have previously been to the place you wish to go), you cannot go from one town to the next without going through the appropriate routes to get there. You must post at least one time in each thread along the route & or routes required to get from one town to the next.
16. Out of Character (OOC) is not the same as In Character IC. For example, just because you know something out of character, doesnt mean your character knows it. Your character needs to find out things before they act on that knowledge (ie. the character needs to find out that someone has been captured before going rushing off to save the person in question; and unless you met another character in RP before, your character doesn't necessarily automatically know another character's name even though you see it on the screen).
17. You cannot have your pokemon advance in level or evolve w/o a moderator or admin approval. The way your pokemon gain experience is through battles with NPC's (non-player characters... both trainers and wild pokemon... which the admins and moderators make up for short encounters) and player characters. If the battle is with another player, then you must ask a mod or admin to 'referee'.
18. You can only control pokemon you have officially caught. If there is a pokemon travelling with you that hasn't been caught, it is still controlled by a mod or admin.
19. HAVE FUN!
