Rules
These rules are for all members of Regulation. Violation of any of these rules can result in moderator action, up to and including dismissal. If you have questions or concerns about any of these rules, contact the moderator at regulation.mods AT gmail.com.
Characters
- Each player may have up to three characters. At moderator option, missing activity checks may affect the ability to app further characters. Players must prove an ability to keep multiple characters active to maintain three characters. Fourth characters are allowed on a case to case basis.
- All characters must be either a Regulator, Unspeakable or a direct antagonist to the Regulators. An antagonist is loosely defined as "one who promotes conflict" and characters will be up to moderator decision whether or not a proposed antagonist does that. (Note: There are characters in the game who do not fit this criteria who were grandfathered in prior to the creation of this rule.)
- Characters should never be picked up with the sole intention of being played for ship purposes. If the moderator discovers that there is predisposed shipping intent (outside the boundaries of pre-established canon), the application can and may be declined if the moderator does not feel that the character has any basis for game play.
- All new abilities brought into the game must have a one-page minimum write-up for the wiki when the application is submitted. (See the Supernatural page for examples of expectations for these write ups.)
- No regulators or unspeakables can begin play with any supernatural abilities or blood status without first consulting with the moderator. Such requests will be dealt with on a case by case basis.
- IC actions = IC consequences.
- The Death Eaters are gone in game canon. We will not be accepting applications for current Death Eaters.
Activity
- This is a small game. As such, activity is VITAL. All characters are expected to do, on average, one journal entry per week and one RP every two weeks. High activity per one or the other may be considered a substitution.
- Activity checks shall occur every two weeks. Any inactive characters shall be called out and have one week to become active or they will be removed from the game.
- All characters are expected to be active in a minimum of one non-romantic storyline per month.
- People should be RPing or commenting to the character journals of a minimum of two different players weekly. This is to ensure cliques do not form and people are being active with a wide array of players and characters.
- All plots should be posted to the plot community for approval. If the moderator has not commented within 24 hours, that plot should be considered approved and can therefore be run, provided assent is received from all involved players.
- In the event of a hiatus longer than one week, we expect you to make reasonable accommodations/explanations for a character's disappearance as part of your hiatus post. Otherwise, excuses can and will be made for you. In the case of frequent hiatuses, anticipate that your character may experience ramifications to jobs, relationships, etc.
- This game is set in present-day and runs in real time.
NPCs
- All NPCs must be played through a PC's journal or through a journal specified for NPC housing.
- All anonymously sent notes, etc. should be routed through the anonymous NPC journal, located at "castofthousands". The password for this journal is friends-locked and listed in the first entry so that all players have equal access. If this is abused, the journal privilege will go away.
- NPC activity should never exceed PC activity.
- NPCs are limited to starring in two RPs per week at most, which means having a significant presence in the thread/log (i.e. more than five lines of dialogue). This includes and allows narratives for NPCs. Plot antagonists are exempt from this.
- NPCs may not keep journals. however, they may send messages, owls, text messages, e-mails or voicemails.
- NPCs cannot outnumber PCs in an RP unless the RP spans two weeks or more, or there is a crowd scene.
- You must have an active PC to control NPCs.
Other
- This game is 18 and over with mature themes. No matter your age, if you have problems dealing with content of a graphic nature, do not apply. All posts of graphic nature or sensitive content are to be f-locked.
- The only rule in terms of dealing with your fellow players and the moderator is that you give respect to all involved with this game. We're all adults here and should be able to act like it. If you have a question about what respect entails, this is not the game for you.
- All personal contact information (including the moderator's) is to be kept strictly confidential unless given permission from the people involved.
- All requests to do game canon writeups must be vetted through the moderator first, before beginning the writeup.
