Rules of Pandemonium:
Respect and Etiquette
Be courteous to your fellow RPers and try not to disrupt the RP as much as possible. If you'd like to discuss something concerning the RP it's preferred to do so through private messages, or in a separate, discussion and planning thread if one is available. Posting OOC within an RP is fine, but try to keep it to a minimum, or as part of your IC post. If you plan on leaving an RP for whatever reason, please have the common courtesy to write yourself out of it, in character. This is important because if you didn't, anyone who had been interacting with you would be stuck because you failed to give them a reason, in character, to progress without you.
2. No Godmoding or Metagaming
This is regarded as the ultimate low in RPing and is not only disrespectful, but is also unfair. Godmoding could entail either an RPer controlling other people's characters without permission, performing closed ended attacks or creating a character that is seemingly invincible. People are usually unaware of when they are godmodding, so veterans or staff will usually inform the godmodder of their activities in an attempt to bring it to light. If they continue, they will be verbally warned and if it continues after that, their warn bar will be raised until the point has gotten across.
Metagaming, while similar, is a bit different. When someone metagames, they are reacting to events and characters using out of character knowledge. An example would be knowing another character's name despite your character never having met them or having any prior knowledge about them. Another example would be knowing the enemy's next move by reading it in a post the owner of said enemy character has made. These are things that you are not supposed to know in character, therefore, these things should not affect the way you RP and should have no bearing on your character's actions because they do not have any knowledge of these things. Similarly to godmodding, this will not be tolerated, and will be dealt with accordingly.
Time manipulation, when you think about it, naturally requires you to control the opponent or metagame.
Telepathy, entering someone's mind without chance of defending, allowing you knowledge you shouldn't have. It has a prime example of both.
3. Basic English is Your Friend
Proper grammar, spelling and punctuation are a very important part of RPing, not only as a way of better describing and communicating to other people your intentions in a post, but also as a way of improving your language skills. RPing can be a fun and educational exercise and all we ask is that people glance over their posts and make sure they're clearly legible before making the post.
4. Content is More Important Than Volume
RPers don't expect a four page English essay for a post, but at the same time, they don't want to see one composed of one or two sentences. The content of your posts is the most important thing, as it shows your character reacting to the world around them and interacting with the people around them in as realistic a manner as possible within their personalities. It's important to put some effort into your posts to make them believable and a lot easier to understand and react to. If your posts don't convey much then you shouldn't really expect people to take you very seriously in an RP.
5. Be Reasonable and Realistic
The RP setting here on Neo Babylon is basically a modern one with plenty of sci-fi and fantasy elements. This however, does not mean anything goes, as it's sort of a prerequisite for things to make sense before going through. I don't want to limit the amount of fun people want to have here, but there are some things that won't be tolerated, because they just don't make enough sense to exist within our universe. If you feel like you have a character, or an ability or anything like that that seems ridiculous to you, chances are it probably is. Unless you can explain how these things exist within our setting, then they probably won't be tolerated.
A good example of this is having some kind of anthropomorphic animal character; unless you can provide a sensible example as to how this creature exists other than "they're just there", then it's unacceptable. Saying they're a mutant, or a metahuman, or are from an alien planet or even from an alternate dimension or reality are reasonable explanations for how this character can exist. The fact of the matter is, there is no "furry race" as the concept itself causes multiple contradictions within the universe (like anthro dogs having pet dogs and anthro cows eating beef) and just seem like lazy writing, especially with regards to fan characters. Though fancharacters are allowed, they'd have to exist within the universe within reason (a perfect example of this is Kamen Rider Dash) and can't just "be there".
6. There is No Monopoly On Things
While the entire RPing world is free reign for the most part, people can dictate certain aspects of it for themselves. This, however, does not mean they have some kind of monopoly on something. If one RPer created a race of demons, it does not mean another RPer can't have his own race of demons that are completely unrelated to the former's.
