Hello again all!
There have been some new developments since the recent resigning of our Hatori. Now here's the deal. I have talked to a few other members about this...and most have agreed with our former Hatori. So, I need to take action before this gets out of hand. So I am posting a few new rules. This needs to be done so that this site can be enjoyable to all.
1.) A lot of people, including myself, are not happy when people come on with one liners. I know that everyone does it every now and then. However, I have noticed a lot of you do it most of the time. This NEEDS to change. If you are roleplaying a character, you need to BE that character. Most of you speak for and move your character. But we never know what you are thinking. for Example.
Yuki walked up to Tohru, "How are you, Miss Honda?"
vs
Yuki saw Tohru coming down the stairs, he cared so much for her. He often thought he was in love. Though he felt that if he tried to show it, he would be in big trouble with Akito. He approached her, "How are you, Miss Honda?"
I said the same thing but with more depth. Now I understand there are times we CAN'T post that in depth...but please try.
2.) Some of you have been power playing. This is IN the rules...you CAN'T do it. Have you read them? Now, Hatori gave a wonderful example on the site. So I will post it here.
Example of powerposing:
Hikari flips Hatori then runs out of the building.
Example of how to give someone a chance:
Hikari attempts to flip Hatori, then tries to run out of the building to get away from him.
Please follow this guidline...
3.) Ok, so this is to the original characters. Now, we do like to change it up when it comes to OCs...though I think some have gotten out of hand. We have a "fox demon." Well, as much as I thought this was a good idea at the time, I have come to find that people don't want that kind of twist in the show. So I would like that character to be changed so that she is just a regular human. I am sorry to this player if that upsets you. But people want it to change. And I want to go with what the majority wants.
Ok so those are the new rules...If you have a problem...please contact me. If you don't then follow them. I am going to need to enforce these rules. Here is how the steps will go...
Strike one -- I contact you tell you exactly what you did wrong. I will not threaten a character revoke.
Strike two -- I will contact you AGAIN explaining what you did wrong. I will also tell you that if you DON'T fix it then I will take away your character.
Strike three -- I will contact you a THIRD time and tell you what you did wrong and tell you that I have taken away your character.
I am sorry for being strict but you have to understand, I want people to be happy and these are all complaints I have received and so I decided to fix it now.
Thank you for understanding.
