Proofread your posts
It is imperative that you make your posts as readable as possible. To this end, make an effort to use proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling. We make allowances for typos, sometimes we make fun of them, but we won't be too mean.
In general, our advice is to be straightforward and simple with your in-character posts. We like you already, you don't have to impress us with the big words you know. Be descriptive when necessary, but make sure you know the proper usage and meaning of the descriptive words you use. We will let you know if you are being bombastic and annoying.
Tag System
The first thing in each character post should be the location of that character. If the location is undisclosed, the location should read undisclosed island, or undisclosed cave, or undisclosed government facility, etc.
If within the post, the character begins an action which involves another character, the post should be ended with a tag. For example, if Magneto flings chairs at Professor X, at the end of the post, the player should add <<tag: Professor X>>
No auto-hitting or god-moding
If Magneto flings chairs at Professor X, Magneto should give Professor X a chance to decide whether or not the chairs hit him. In other words, give other players a chance to decide what does or doesn't happen to their character.
Also, don't complete actions which involve a number of characters. For example, don't post "Rocks fall, everyone dies." A better post would be, "Rocks began to fall towards them. Cyclops felt sure this would end in everyone's death."
No Killing Characters without Consent
Any character, NPC, or danger room sprite being controlled by another player cannot be killed without that player's prior consent.
Three Day Rule
You should not post twice in a row, unless each post contains a separate character. After posting, you should wait three days for the tagged character to respond. If they have not after three days, a moderator will contact them and you are free to post again.
Leave of Absence
Hopefully, you have a real life. If you are going to be unable to post for more than 10 days, please make arrangements with a moderator or administrator prior to your absence.
We are God (at least in this forum).
We have the final word on everything. If you have a specific problem, please feel free to contact us. We will try to compromise with you, but we will always have the final say.
