✧RULES

Respect
It should go without saying, but on the side of caution, please remember that IC ≠ OOC. We will not tolerate harassment and after a proper investigation, offenders will be warned/banned. Depending on the nature of the offense, we may issue a warning, but we reserve the right to ban you without it as well. However we intend to conduct full investigations and discuss this with all parties before action is taken.
We take these things seriously as we’re all here to have a good time. Just don’t be a dick.

Literacy
ESL and special need players will have leniency for this rule, but we ask that you do your best to write tags that are comprehensive to your fellow players. Sometimes we like to mess around and gag tag, and that’s okay! But if someone asks you not to, please be considerate.

IC
While this is an AU setting, we ask that you do your best to still keep any non-OC characters as IC as possible in the context of the world.

God-moding and Info-Moding
The nature of this game does allow for characters to potentially have the ability to know more than ICly possible, but if your character does have a quirk of this variety, we request you submit a permissions post and will advise you whether or not that is a requirement upon acceptance of your application.

Age Requirement & TOS Adherence

All players must be at least seventeen years of age and act in compliance with Dreamwidth's Terms of Service.

Sexually Explicit and/or Violent Material
As all players must be seventeen or older, we will allow these contents provided warnings are applied and it goes under a cut tag. Please refer to rule one, respect, if a player comes to you with discomfort about where a thread is going. Any insistence or harassment will be dealt with accordingly.

Taken/Reserves
We have a character limit of 4 per player, so that being said, please do not reserve more than two characters at a time. We will not accept multiple versions of a character (i.e. Link from Skyward Sword vs Windwaker Link) UNLESS you can create a detailed enough AU to thoroughly differentiate from the other version. This will be on a first come, first serve basis. Also we request you do not monopolize a single canon and allow others a chance to reserve and play those characters. We have the right to decline a second reserve from the same person trying to play from the same canon, but it doesn't mean we necessarily will.

Tag your posts
You have tags assigned in the community tag list, so please utilize them. It not only helps us keep things organized, but it’ll help you with your activity check.

Activity
Activity will be on a check-in basis, linking activity that takes place within the AC month. In other words, if it is January, and you make one comment within January on a thread that started in December, we will accept that as activity. The aim is to enjoy yourself - not feel like the game is a homework assignment due every four weeks.

If you forget to check-in, you'll take a strike. If you don't reply to the notification post, your character will be removed from the game and considered inactive. The goal is to avoid squatting while making it a fairly forgiving system.
