The Rules, important.

[Gerontis]

Rule no. 1: Don't be a jackass. To put it in plain, simple words; criticism is okay, swearing at others isn't.

Rule no. 1B: People don't like each other, that's natural. What isn't natural is bullying them into oblivion. If an argument escalates, be the better person and walk away. Or else ask one of the moderators to help you.

Rule no. 2: If you don't agree with someone or something, you can tell them that. Nobody is going to feel insulted because of that (lest you don't follow rule no. 1 and 1b.) and most actually feel like you helped them. However remember that the head GM always have the last word, don't argue with them if they don't agree with what you say. It's fine to bring it up, it's not fine to drag an argument on for pages. Again, try to contact one of the moderators if you can't agree with one of the decisions.

Rule no. 3: Create a genin first. If we think you're active enough and are good enough to manage an entire team of genins or whatever, we will tell you. Otherwise, don't spam the thread asking if you can be a jounin, sannin, kage or whatever you want to be. If you can't obtain the rank or whatever it is what you want through IC means, chances are you are not good enough for them anyway. A bit blunt, maybe, but true.

Rule no. 4: Keep your characters logical. Nobody has ever seen a genin with the power of a kage. Chunin level techniques are acceptable, if you put limits on them and what not. It has to make sense to be accepted.

Rule no. 5a: Don't whine about the roster not being updated. If your character has been accepted by two assistant GM's, you are free to post. The character roster is just something to help. If after a while you haven't been added yet, contact either : Gerontis or one of the OOC GM's.

Rule no. 5b : Keep in mind that if you join, that every character is property of you and the RP. IF you get kicked, banned or leave then your character will belong to the GM's as they see fit. With getting accepted, you've agreed to this rule.

Rule no. 6: Much like the rule with the genin, if the Head Gm or OOC GM's don't think your capable of handling another character( no matter what rank), based on performance or activity, then they have the full right to deny the character on this rule. If you don't agree, don't drag it out but try to talk with the Head GM or ask one of the other GM's to help you. Though keep in mind to turn back the decision, a majority of the GM Team needs to agree on the matter.

Rule no. 7: In order to keep things fun for everyone and to put emphasis that this RP is story-based and not all about killing, raping and murdering somebody else, you can't kill one character without the permission of the creator/owner of the character. The only other was is to ask and let the Head GM agree on the action to kill the character of the other person. If you violate this rule, then don't look surprised if we take measures to keep you out of fights for a very long time.

Rule no. 8. : Not all characters can have a mangekyou sharingan, eternal sharingan or what have ye. Keep it logical or don't keep it at all. Custom gekkei genkai in the form of dojutsus will be accepted when they make sense. The more traits a KG will give, the harsher we will be with grading it. This also counts for what we think are S ranked tech's, like Space-Time Jutsu.

Rule no 9. : Even if you don't like them, respect the GM's and Moderators. They are the people that try to make it fun for everyone with ideas and to keep order. Give them also some credit for trying to be around to help people with questions and doing just more then having fun. Also, this rule counts in the chat. If you violate this rule, don't expect any kind of mercy. Not even from me.

This also means that if one of them ask you to drop it, then drop it.

Rule no 10. : Please don't, but really DON'T do anything rashly like running and becoming a missing nin without talking with the Head GM and GM's first. If you take an action like that, expect that you will likely be losing one character and then not being given some nice position for quite some long time. If you want to make a baddie, ask it to Gerontis, who can help you out with that. But notice that it sometimes might take a whole arc before your bad guy/girl gets into action.
Same counts for any big plot or move. Always tell your secret plot to the Head GM or it won't be accepted, at all.
