Every game needs a few rules to keep things running smoothly.

General Questions
RESPECT & COMMUNICATION
We're here to have fun! Keep IC and OOC separate and make sure you respect your fellow players! If you feel that someone is ignoring this rule, contact the mods as soon as possible.

16 + PLAYER (not character) AGE
The game will sometimes deal with heavy concepts. We also allow adult logs if they are locked to the proper community (lurv) and clearly marked for those who wish to avoid them. You can lead to a link to the community if a log suddenly turns into anything 18+ related.

Since we allow child characters, they cannot be involved in those types of logs for any reason.

META, INFOMODDING & THE 4TH WALL ON CASE-TO-CASE BASIS
Remember that some players may want to keep the nature of their character a surprise! If your character comes from the same world, make sure you talk with your castmate(s) to make sure you know what they are planning.

Remember to create a permissions post as needed, and make sure any arrangements made are respected.

If your character would know the character via their own canon, confirm with the other player(s) fist. We do allow this, but only if both players are in agreement with each other.

ACTIVITY CHECKS & REQUIRED ACTIVITY
Activity Checks are held every month from the 1st to the 5th. (Note: These dated may change. This part will be removed when the dates are official.)

Required Activity:
OPTION ONE:
▶ A network post, log, or open top-level. The number of replies is unimportant.
ALONG WITH
▶ 7 total comments. You may combine comments from multiple threads to reach this amount. (We'll be lenient here. As long as it doesn't happen every month, we may choose to accept totals of 8 or 9.)

OPTION 2:
▶ 10 total comments. You may combine comments from multiple threads to reach this amount. (Again, as long as it doesn't happen every month, we may choose to accept totals of 9 or 8.)

New characters accepted during an AC period are exempt from full AC for that period, but must check in to the AC post and give us 1 proof of activity.

HIATUS AND STRIKES
▶ For a hiatus to exempt you from AC, it must cover at least two weeks and you must post your hiatus comment before the last week of the AC period.
▶ If a player fails to make AC, they will receive a strike. You may not request a strike two months in a row. For a strike to be cleared, you must make AC for the next two months.
▶ If a player idles out of the game, they cannot reapply for the character(s) they idled out with for two application cycles.

OFFICIAL RELEASE APPLICATION RULE
We ask that you wait four weeks after the official release of a canon to apply from it. You can reserve and apply if the 4 weeks will have passed by the time the character is accepted. You can also post in the test drive, but make sure to warn for spoilers .

We prioritize the English release date unless there are no plans for localization. If you think there are unique circumstances that might make your character eligible to app despite upcoming release dates, please contact the mods so we can look over your request.

HMDs
HMD posts are mandatory in your character's journal and you must provide a link to one once you are accepted. It's left to your discretion whether or not to allow anonymous comments and/or screen comments to the post
