Oh great, rules. Funnest part of every roleplay, right?
Heheh.
WRONG!


        -Follow Gaia TOS. Blahby blahby blah. You know this.
        -Roleplay in the roleplaying section, blah blah blah. Ugh, WHY DO I NEED TO DO THIS!? (because it's required) ; ~ ;

        -Godmodding... uh... well, unless you've signed off on the Death Clause for that character... I can't godmod against you. Nor should you godmod anyone else. But, hey. That Death Clause is the only way godmod can even BECOME a thing. Just throwing it out there now. So yeah, got that? ouo b good.

        -At least a paragraph ever four days. Literally. 100 words minimum is all I ask. This is a casual rp. Just have fun with it. If roleplaying becomes work to you, then it won't be fun. Relax. Let the words come naturally. If you wanna write 5,000 words? Amazing, go for it. If you'd rather hit 500 before quitting like me? Also good. If you have trouble with 100 words? I suggest doing writing exercises.

        -Be creative. This is a zombie apocalypse, man. People had occupations and lives before this virus took that away. They're not high school students. Well, not all of them. And some won't be sane seeing the world to come to an end. Hell, some kids parents probably blew their brains out. You know why? They couldn't take it. You know the reason i didn't add a bio to the profile? Because I don't wanna know EVERYTHING about these people. Not quite yet. I'd like it to progress. I mean, take Daryl from 'The Walking Dead'. All i knew of his life? Redneck with a crossbow, and a douchebag brother. What else? Nothing. NOTHING. And I like him because I wanna know more. Don't go the Daryl route though. Not exactly. People are different. DO IT.

        -Character Profiles go in the Characters of the Dead subforum. You can post them up immediately, and i'll pm you if I have a problem with it. (: Kay? Good. One more thing. No real life pictures, plox. It's just...weird, okay?


Those are some of the rules. NEXT.

The better part of the rules! ouo/


        -Traditional zombies are the type that will bite you, and you'll die, then reanimate later. Traditional zombies need a shot in the head to be 100% dead. Or decapitation. Or something along those lines.

        -IF you get bitten. Here's how it'll go down. Hour 1, you get bit. Nothing happens quite yet, except the wound will start to clott You can keep it quiet if you want, but if you show anyone, you're more than likely asking for trouble. At about Hour 5, you obtain a fever. Slight dementia, maybe some vomiting. Hour 8, the area you were bitten will become numb, along with your extremities. Around Hour 10-11, your lower half will be paralyzed, your heart rate will slow. Hour 16, coma. Hour 20. Heart stoppage, braindead. And after that point... you can reanimate at any time. You can revive in three minutes, or three hours, or thirteen hours. It can range.

        -Make use of your surroundings! If I say there's a padlock in the room, and a fleeting herd of zombies outside the door, i don't expect your character to not use the padlock. There may be an air duct too. It's best to know where things are. Before you get trapped somewhere, you need to scout around places. No bullshitin though. You're more than likely NOT going to find a gun in a dressing room at the mall.You're probably not going to have a set of multiple handcuffs if you're NOT a cop. You probably won't know how to heal someone from non-zombie causes if you're NOT a doctor. And you probably won't find bullets in a jewelry department, now will you? I rest my case.

        -Bullets are scarce; in other words, make use of your ammo! If you use anything with reusable ammo, you're THAT much more important to the group. But a couple of guns, and a little ammo can go a long way. Because I'm saying it NOW. I'm not gonna make this easy on you.

        -Best case scenario, some people die, and the world repopulates. Worse case scenario, humanity ends, and eventually, all life on Earth follows. But you can't really have the best case scenario. Most people's families are gone. That's just how it is. It'll NEVER be the same. Never.

        -Blood loss is a BAD thing. It should be treated right away. Zombies may not be able to smell blood, but it should be noted, if you go into shock after losing a couple more pints than you should lose, you're probably not gonna live long. also, gunshot wounds will probably be fatal unless there is a competent doctor around. Just telling you now. It's gonna suck. Try not to lose too much blood.


Those are the rest of the rules.
