STAR WARS ICONS RULES AND REGULATIONS
In-Character Rules
01. The first thing the recognize about this role-play is that it's a Role-Playing Scenario, play by post RPG. There are no dice or numbers in this game. This board is based on quality writing and the story and plotline not random numbers.
02. The next thing is this board is set in an 'R' rated setting. Meaning there can be nudity, violence, gore, drug abuse, sexual dialogue, and hard language. This can include a combination from any of the above. We expect our members to be responsible with this freedom and expect some level of maturity from them as well. If you cannot handle a 'R' rated scenario, this is not for you.
03. There is a posting expectation here at SWI, meaning we do expect a certain amount from each member. Again, this is about quality writing not just what two sentences you are able to string together. The staff expects at least 2 paragraphs in each post, the sentences ranging from 7-8. It is understandable that in some situations this is not the case, we understand, but possibly combining the actions [with their permission of course] in your post it is possible for you both to increase post length.
04. God-modding, piloting, character hi-jacking, etc will not be tolerated here. It is a constant problem plaguing the RPG world and we are doing are best to ensure it ends, not to allow it to continue. You will be given a certain amount of leway yes, but if you continue to push the boundary; you will be banned no question asked for a year.
05. Please try be courteous when role-playing here. The board is an amalgam of flowing stories that run concurrent to one another. Individual plots and stories are welcome as well as scenario's that may affect the whole board. When you want to enter either one, please make sure you have permission from the topic starter, either be starting a thread in the Planning forum or PMing them.
Application Rules
06. Our story does not following that of the movies. Certain events did still happen like the Battle of Endor and Yavin, but others didn't Be sure to read the premise, timeline, and Backstory in order to get a strong grasp on what did and did not happen.
07. You may only play a maximum of four [4] characters here. This is [4] characters to one IP address. Members who have proven themselves able to handle four [4] characters may apply for a fifth [5] and sixth [6] after six months of actively carrying the other four [4]. We will not allow any member, even if they believe themselves to be up to it, to play more than six [6] characters in this galaxy.
08. You must use the STANDARD application form. Please fill out all of the neccesary fields, properly, they are explained, but most of them are self-explainatory anyways. Also please try and complete the application before posting it, WIP (works in progress) won't be deleted, but it's nicer to have a complete application posted than an unfinished one.
General Rules
09. The biggest and possibly most common rule of role-playing and out-of-character chatter is: be respectful and polite to all members and staff [new and old.] This is a very simple rule, those who cannot abide by it will be banned permenantly. The staff has no room for members who think they are able to be disrespectful and discourteous. This includes posting any type of hateful or pornograhpic pictures or materials.
10. Out of character [OOC] posts are not permitted in the role-playing forums. Please discuss plot points or other particulars of a post in the Planning forum.
11. If have any further questions or any rule questions please ask them in the Welcome Center or the Planning forum, any member of administrator will be glad to answer them for you as clearly as possible. Failure to read or abide by these rules may result in banning or any other punishment the staff feels is suitable. Ignorance will not be an excuse.
12. You must use a 100x100 icon if you are going to use an avatar. It may be no bigger or smaller, if you do not have one, the staff will find several for you to choose from. There will be no arguement on this, it's a very simple request and all members must follow it if they choose to use an avatar.
