Rules
Out of Character
1.) Follow Gaia's ToS.
2.) Respect everyone, even those with equal or lesser ranking.
3.) Don't cuss exessively. Try not to drop the f-bomb at all.
4.) If you see anyone, even a mod, acting up, PM me or another mod.
5.) Three characters per user. Anymore, PM me.
6.) Stay active. Tell someone if you're going to be offline for more than three days.
7.) To post a profile, start a thread with the character's name and occupation (pirate, marine, bounty hunter, civilian). Don't post until accepted.
In Character
1.) Romance is great, but when the clothes come off, time skip.
2.) Don't control another person's character.
3.) Don't automatically hit another person's character.
4.) Don't dodge every single attack. YOU ARE NOT GOD.
5.) Post a paragraph each time; that's five sentences at the least. A picture is optional, but a name in every in-character post is required.
6.) NPC's are to be controlled by whoever made them. Just remember which is your character and which is an NPC.
7.) If you want to kill someone's character, both parties must send me or a mod a message telling us it's okay.
8.) No canon characters will be accepted. That includes characters related to canon characters.
9.) Keep your profile updated at all times.
10.) No matter where they originated, have your characters start in one of the blues. Skypiea and the Grand Line are currently off limits. Any posts will be deleted. An announcement will be made when you're allowed to post in the Grand Line.
To Start Role-Playing
1.) Create a thread under the desired location (North, East, South, West Blue; the Grand Line will be created when access is granted).
2.) The subject should be titled the locations, with either 'open' or 'private' in parenthesis for who all is allowed to post.
3.) The first post should have a brief summary of their specific location (island or open sea) and a list of permitted posters (character names or usernames). You may simply put 'yadda yadda crew' for a pirate crew or 'division blah blah blah' for a specific division.
4.) A thread should have a specific timespan; maybe Rp-ing the stretch between islands, maybe the time a crew/division is on a certain island.
5.) When the thread has been finished, edit the first post and put 'closed' in the place of 'open' or 'private'
