We all know they're gonna be here. Don't worry, they aren't that bad. Just use your common sense with these in mind and we'll all be cool. To be honest, they're more like recommendations and warnings.

1. Detailed replies, please!
I can understand that it's hard to weave long, detailed and well written responses to anything a character does, especially early in the morning or late in the night. But, nonetheless, please at least try. I'm not going to kick you out if you occasionally drop the ball, it happens to everyone. That said though, the more you do it, the harder it becomes for me to be detailed in response. Eventually, I might just drop off, sadly.

2. Sorry, but I don't do smut!
There you have it! I don't mind references, jokes or characters that are into it, etc etc, but I refuse to directly read it or write it. Go ahead and have your scantily clad succubi and incubi, have them be raunchy little bastards, but do not attempt to start a smut section.

3. English please, the more grammatically correct the better.
Pretty much it, actually. I'm an English speaker by birth and though I'm learning Mandarin, I couldn't tell you my name. (Wo de mingzi Jax.) So, as such, I'd prefer it if we could keep it in English, so I don't have to translate to and from another language. The characters can speak however they want, but as long as I can read the entire reply, that's fine. Oh, and please don't use text speak unless the character is actually texting. Leik, OMG IDK WTF ur syng, k?

4. Wait until you're accepted before trying to roleplay with any of the characters.
Commenting on them is fine, I'm not gonna obstruct your speech. If you have a comment, go ahead. That said, please just wait. I do have a screening process for a reason, though it's probably not a reason I'm gonna have to pull up much.

5. Please keep the spam to a minimum.
If I'm away for an hour, send me a reminder. Chances are I missed the notification, or Wattpad is being Wattpad. If I'm gone for a day, go again. If I'm gone for a week, once more. If it's longer than that, check if I'm still active. Keep in mind though, I'll be doing the same for you, probably.

6. Feel free to create some drama.
I'm terrible at it. After all, I'm an incredibly dramatic person, in that I usually make something massive or nothing at all. So, feel free to do that.

7. Respond appropriately.
If it's a Skyrim RP and a Khajiit meets a Nord, chances are that Nord will not be welcoming that Khajiit with open arms. If it's a normal world RP and you come in on wings of blazing fire with a halo of shining light, the mere humans around you will scatter and run.
If two people meet, they aren't gonna stare at each other and think 'Wow, I wanna marry them. Fuck it, lemme go ask them'.
They also aren't gonna see each other and immediately launch into a brawl, probably. It's that sort of stuff.

8. Go ahead and curse!
I sure as hell will. I'm not gonna get offended if your character is a drunken bar brawler with a hate-boner against mankind or a kindly monk from Novis. Again though, I'm expecting to extended the same courtesy. If I wanted to get into a gender war or whatever, I'd walk into Tumblr.

9. Use 3rd person in your replies.
Yeah, that ones simple. First person makes it harder to read, as well as making your seem like a self-inserting egomaniac.

10. Calm down with the godmoding
We all love having power. Victory is great. That said, your character is not a perfect being, nor will mine be. Perfection is an imperfection, after all. So, no instantly killing important characters, nor controlling mine. Little things are okay. Like, dragging them around town on a date or pulling them off their bed while they're sleeping? Sure. Stabbing the demon king (Yes, I have one.) and instantly killing him? Walking up to the emotionless automaton and kissing it, suddenly causing it to gain emotions, fall head over heels in love and abandon it's entire life it had before hand? Nah.

11. Make as many forms and characters as you want.
But keep track of all of them and make sure to use the password. Your hint is that it's a little bit Weird, so make of that what you will. Also, there is a small proviso to this rule: You can only have one character with one character.
That was a terrible way of saying it. Okay, what I mean is, if I have Adonis playing with Gerald, I cannot also have Adonis playing with Aster. It gets very confusing.

12. Missions, what are they?
Missions are a thing I may or may not do, or you can ask if I want to do them. They're a sort of 'win condition', though they may be a single condition, or a set. For example, maybe to 'win', you've gotta convince a snarky police officer to fall in love with the new recruit, or bust his case for him. Perhaps you have to steal his badge. Maybe you have to slay a dragon, convince the demon to grant you an elephant and drink from a closely guarded fountain. Just that they are a win doesn't mean that I'm playing against you, it just means I might make it slightly harder. Feel free to suggest your own missions as well.
