Don't be an ass

No godmodding, powerplaying, or crossing the ooc/ic line. It's just a no-no and no one will like you if you do it.

The mods are here for a reason

All major plot must be cleared with one of us. Likewise, if you have a question concerning anything going on in the game, we'll be happy to answer it and clear up any confusion you may have.

Two characters per player to start

This is simply to allow other players to apply for their desired characters. If one player takes six of the most wanted characters, that isn't fair. Also, if one player has six characters, it might give the illusion that the game is far more active than it actually is. After two weeks of being active with the first two characters, we'll allow a third, and then possibly a fourth. However, never more than four characters per player at a time will be allowed.

Post at least once every two weeks

We do sweeps at the end of every month, or as close to it as possible. That being said, if your character hasn't posted at least two forms of activity, we will give you three days warning to post, and then removal will ensue. Acceptable forms of activity include: journal entries, posted threads, being involved in a thread that is completed or being worked on, emails, AIM logs between two characters, or phonecall logs between two characters (all of which, excluding journal entries, should be posted in the main community)

Quality over quantity

We don't believe in post minimums here. However, one liners are hardly ever acceptable. We want you to put thought into your characters and subsequently, thought should go into your individual tags as well. We do not want six paragraphs on the shining color of Character A's hair, but we do want a little insight into them when possible.

This is not your porn stash

This is a game with mature players who expect other players to act as such. Graphic scenes should be put behind a cut with an NC-17 warning, and for the safety of all of our asses, you need to be at least 17 years or older to apply. If you can't legally watch a rated R movie in public, then you can't be expected to approach sexuality like an adult. Our apologies, but some of us are in our 20's.

OOC belongs in OOC

If you're going out of town for a few days, won't have internet access or are just plain too swamped with real life, drop us a short line to let us know. We won't bite your head off; in fact, we'll appreciate it more as you might as well when you're character doesn't magically disappear after a few days from being inactivity swept.

IC belongs in the community

Don't bring your characters opinions to other players to start unnecessary drama. If two characters don't get along, fine. But don't dislike someone else just because their character said something mean about yours. That is the sort of thing that causes drama in a community, and good communities can take detrimental hits because one or two players can't keep their egos in check.

Have fun

I don't think this should need explaining, but if you're not having fun and threading is becoming tedious, then maybe it's time for you to respectfully bow out. We won't get mad. RP should be a fun experience for everyone involved.

	So this is ~reines with her character journal! I didn't see a dropbox, so I though, eh, rules page? I dunno. What do you all think about siblings. In my mind, Eros and Aphrodite were siblings, or even cousins and that's just a straying thought. I haven't talked to the person that held him, just wanted to run it by you all first.

	That's totally fine, and essentially up to you. We didn't make any rules saying that they couldn't be, so if the person who held Eros is down for it, go for it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	sooo... also suffering from lack of drop box, I ask, what if I think of a character that I'd like to play that isn't on the list? For example: Hyacinth, Hermaphroditus, Mania... etc. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Obviously, we've got a lot of spaces filled, and while there are definitely characters that still need picking up, we're generally okay with people playing characters that aren't on the list on a case by case basis. Basically it depends on what characters need to be picked up. We don't really want to discourage anyone either though, so if someone made a convincing case/had a really great application, we're not really going to want to say no. We'd like some variety though. We're also open to titans and other characters being picked up (someone's got to be the bad guys).

Who were you looking to play specifically?

	Do the reincarnated forms of "family" (Demeter and Persephone, etc) need to look alike? Could I use a PB who was Asian or African-American and have it still be kosher? (Reply to this)
