Rules Here we go, the main purpose of this website. To set the rules of our little game. Please be aware of all of these rules before you apply to join. Continual rule breaking will not be tolerated and you will be removed from the game and your character will go back on the available list. This can be done at any time, but you will be warned be a moderator before it will take place. So, here we go. 1. This may seem like a silly rule to start with, but I feel that if I don't stress it, it will be the most broken rule. No new powers, weapons or zords with out moderators consent, which will not be given freely. If everyone started making their own powers on a whim, things would get out of hand, fast. Please stick to your characters weaponry and powers. Their is one exception I will make and that is listed on the Characters Still Available page. Sometime in the future, I might coordinate a quest for people who want new powers, but that's after we get LOTS more people. 2. Everyone is required to make a journal for their character. This will be like your characters own personal journal so everyone can see what is going on in their personal lives. The main journal will be where the storyline takes place. The main journal is also where links to chats that take place outside will be posted. I will address chats later in the rules. 3. Please do not post in the main journal with your personal name. This community is for your character to show his/hers true colors so post with their names in the main journal. This is also a reason why we require a journal made just for your character. 4. You must post in your character's journals once a week! And if your character is involved heavily in the story line at that time, please don't just disappear and not post for days! Please let us know of illness, family troubles, school. We understand that life gets in the way, we just don't want you disappearing and the rest of us getting stuck in a story line. If your know your going to be absent for a while, then please get your character out of the scheme of things. Have them go visit an aunt or something. If your absent for three weeks without posting, then your character will be taken, placed on the Characters Still Available Page and your posting privileges will be blocked from the main journal. If your absence was sudden and you were unable to let us know, then if you have a valid reason, your character will be returned to you with posting privileges. 5. Make this realistic and mature! This rpg was created to play as if the power rangers lived in, well, I don't want to say the real world, but a realer world then the shows. Slash, romance, pregnancy, marriage...all that stuff is perfectly fine but lets try to keep the soap opera to a minimum please =) Well, its okay to get carried away sometimes, but please don't over do it. Drugs, Suicide and the like are discouraged. Mature playing is a must. 6. This isn't really a rule, but I think it goes along with rule 5. I'd like this rpg to focus a lot on the rangers personal lives. Of course the fighting is important and will be needed in story lines, but I would kind of like us to focus on them as humans, as well as rangers and this includes the villains too. Flirting and relationships are a part of life and make life fun. And Please don't be bound be relationships on the shows. I not going to make Wes a love sick puppy over Jen just because that's what happened in the show. For all I know, he might go flirt with Karone or Aisha. Characters have a mind of their own! 7. Please remember that things said IC (In Character) are to stay in character. Just because Wes calls Eric a big stupid poopy head, doesn't mean I think the person playing him is in real life. If you want to talk to someone OOC (Out Of Character) in a post please enclose your comments in (( )) or [[ ]] or just e-mail/IM the person. I've heard this is a big problem in other rpgs and want to make it clear from the beginning. Please be nice OOC. 8. Battles are to take place in chat rooms with someone playing the mutant/putty/cog/cyclobot/whatever. This is a MUST! I think this makes it more fun when the bad guy is actually fighting back. You guys can take turns or someone can volunteer or whatever. Please make these fights realistic. We're not going to require dice or anything, just take a hit if you get one and yes, the rangers do sometimes lose fights! 9. Villains Only Privilege: Feel free to schedule fights for whenever you wish in the main journal! Please provide the name of the chat room, time, date and any preference of characters you want to be there. Say Lord Zedd had some beef with Wes. He could post in the main journal that he requests a fight with Wes on Friday, November 28th at 8:30 eastern time in the chatroom Wesisgoingdown. This way, if anyone wishes to watch or help or whatever can also join the fun. Please though, ask the person who scheduled the fight if they want your character to battle or be any part of the fight. Only people with Villain characters have this privilege! 10. Logs of fights and other chats must be sent to the moderator for posting on this site so a link can be provided to the main journal so everyone remains current on happenings. If a fight is just for fun and no major story line change has happened, then it's not required for submission but if say someone gets captured or severely hurt or taken over or something that will add to the overall story line, then PLEASE submit it for posting. Also personal chats between characters such as dates and stuff are required for submitting because then may be needed for reference and are fun to read! 11. NO character can be killed without players consent! Lord Zedd can not kill Wes in the before mentioned battle unless I say its alright because I want to kill him off anyway so I can play Billy. Not like that's ever going to happen but it can. Killing is discouraged anyhow. Mortally wounded is perfectly fine though. 12. Killing is not the only way to get rid of characters. If you decide you want to leave the rpg, please send me the password to your journal so someone else can adopt it and continue playing that character. This also goes if you want to change characters. If I did want to stop playing Wes (which will never happen) I would put his journal up for adoption and create a new one for Billy, so Wes's character isn't lost and someone else can play him. We are not responsible for providing codes for new journals if you give yours up to be adopted. Also for people who have a strong impact to this game, I will give them the choice of retiring their character forever, so no one else can play them. 13. Also there is a character limit. Right now, I think I'll let people have two characters, but just keep in minds that once we get more people, I might ask for you to give up one for adoption especially if you have two main characters like two Rangers or two major villains. If you do want two characters then you must make a journal for both. 14. Icons. Please have an icon that fits your character. Morphed or unmorphed is fine. Its not required but I encourage everyone to have a few. This way if I post about Wes being Morphed, an Icon of him as the Red Time Force Ranger will help with the imagery. If he's sad because he just broke up with Jen, a sad picture will help with the mood. If he's angry at Eric, then an angry picture...you get the idea. If you have problems making icons, please don't be shy in letting us know! There are lots of people who can help and will be perfectly willing to help make icons for you. Also, in case I forget to ask when you join, please send me your default icon to go on the Characters in Use page so we have a visual picture of whose in play. 15. I'm writing this late at night so I can't think of anymore rules but HAVE FUN! Please make sure you understand every rule on this page before applying to join because once you do, you will be held responsible for everything on this page and whatever I may add in the future.
