Please read these rules before you post:


1. All regular forum rules and unwritten rules apply on this board. Under no circumstances are flaming and malicious spamming OK things to do in an RP.


2. Your RP must be based on video games which appear on Nintendo systems. Please limit your topics to franchises and licenses which are exclusive to video games.

3. RPs are not the place for chat. If we see RP threads being used for chat, they will be locked. This applies to location-based RPs like cafes. You must behave as if you are in that location at all times.


4. The first post in a new RP thread must include detailed rules, ranks and the initial storyline. Interactive stories only require a starting story. Please remember that your story should be more than one sentence long. This is a creative process. Putting effort into your RP story will bring good results.


5. One word posts are not allowed. You should not make a post in an RP thread unless it is in character and adds to the storyline.


6. OOC, or "out of character" chat, is not allowed. If you cannot convey your comment in character then send it in a PM.


7. No RP is allowed to attack another RP unless both groups have agreed to battle. Any unwanted battles or attacks will be stopped by a moderator. Offenders will be subject to bans, so please take this rule seriously. Without the consent of other RPs, the battles and attacks of an RP must stay in that RP's thread. Attacks must not be personal insults or flames.


8. The leader of an RP has the final say, but they are also bound to the forum rules as everyone else is. Leaders are not allowed to "ban" members from their RP. If a user is causing problems, contact a moderator. The moderators alone are responsible for policing the forums.


9. Do not attempt to control an RP if you don't hold a leadership position in that RP. The thread-starter is responsible for leadership decisions and appointing such roles. You can't force the participants of an RP to agree to become involved in an outside project or RP.


10. If you dislike the way an RP functions, you are welcome to create your own or arrange to discuss it peacefully at Tech Support. Do not create a new RP out of bitterness with flame comments or it will be locked. Attempting to get an RP locked will be considered an attack against the RP.


11. Do not take over an RP without the permission of the original author or leader. Leaders can't be forced out of their own RPs. If a leader vanishes for an extended amount of time, and has failed to respond to private messages, please discuss leadership change with a moderator.


12. Please do not make posts just to "bump" your RP. If we see this happening we will lock the thread.


13. For military RPs, try to maintain a set of standards. Revival in battles is up to the head of the RP. Please see the rules posted in the first post of each RP for details.


14. "Invulnerable characters" or "one-hit, one-kill attacks" are not allowed.


15. Please do not create extra threads for your RP. If you start an RP, keep it all in one topic. Do not disrupt the activity of one RP by bringing arguments, issues, and/or advertisements from another RP to it. Keep the RP limited to role-playing based on the first post.


16. Do not send unsolicited Private Messages to other members about your RP.


17. RPs or organizations designed to enforce forum rules are not allowed. That's what mods and admins are here to do.

Thank you for your cooperation!
