Rules and Procedures
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The following rules govern your life out here. This is your law, this is your Bible. Adhere to them, or face the consequences. They’re for your own benefit and safety, the good of the Allied Federation of Nations, and interstellar peace.

RULES
Mmmyep, kids. It’s that time again! Tiiiiime for the rules! Every forum and every RP has them. So let’s get down to it.
1 This is a literate RP. All posts should be in sentence and paragraph form. Of course, we’re not expecting 75,689 word posts here. We understand that some people have a tendency to be more verbose than others. However, try to keep your posts at least one decent paragraph in length, and try to avoid one-liners. Understandably, this is not always possible, but try to keep them at a bare minimum.
2 Respect your fellow RPers. This means no flaming or harassing out of character, or godmodding in character. Given the nature of the RP, in character banter and harassment is encouraged to a degree, however, if the line between in character and out of character begin to blur, it will be considered out of character harassment. When a fellow player asks you to back off, do so. Again, godmodding is prohibited. If the other player allows you to move/harm their character in your post, please make an OOC note in said post.
3 All RP and conversation outside of the designated Mature areas should be kept on a PG-15 level. Swearing is permitted, both in English, or your character’s respective language. However, try to keep it around a PG-15 level. That means not to go dropping F-bombs every other word. (*stares at Alfred*). Violence is also allowed, however, if you really must go through with the elaborate detail of the carnage and gore, stick a rating on the thread title. Otherwise, try to keep it on the PG-15 level. (*smacks own wrist*) Romancin’ is allowed as well, but again, keep it PG-15. If it goes beyond that level, stick a rating on the title, or take it to IMs or PMs. The word noodles must be somewhere in your profile/application so that we know you’ve read the rules.
4 We use their human names in this RP, since it is an AU. Your character must be referred to as their human name instead of their country. However, the use of their nicknames is allowed. (IE, Iggy for England, and West for Germany) If your intended country does not have a human name, you will need to think one up for them.
5 Follow the rules of the art and writing forums. The rules for each will be posted in the respective forums.
6 Have fun. Role-playing is fun. It’s meant to be fun! Don’t take it too seriously. Once again, the out of character stays out of character, and the in character stays in character.
Consequences:
As these are pretty easy rules to follow, the consequences will be dealt with on a three-strike basis. Three strikes, you’re out.
First Strike – A warning from the admin or mods.
Second Strike – Another warning and a week suspension
Third Strike – Ban
Though, I honestly don’t think we’ll have a problem.
If you are experiencing problems with another player and are unable to work it out yourselves, please contact a mod or the admin, and we will handle the problem.

We don’t bite. (often, anyway. And if the mods do, I’ll get the rolled up newspaper. If I do, well, it just shows I care.)
