1. Be literate.
Don't be afraid of this rule. I don't expect you to type up novels nor essays. Being literate simply means you understand the English language, use spellcheck frequently, have decent grammar and can flaunt creativity in most posts. But please offer us at least a paragraph of five to ten sentences in any RP post.
2. Obey the staff.
If we say "no", we mean it.
3. Use third person.
If you're not sure what third person is, take a peek at this brief example.
I run over and grab the horse's halter. "Whoa!" -incorrect- <---first person
She runs over and grabs the horse's halter. "Whoa!" -correct- <---third person
4. Use book style in your posts.
Skim through a few books if you don't quite understand. Basically, please be sure to use "quotation marks" for any character speech, italics for any character thought and finally, (parantheses) or [brackets] for ooc [out of character] chat.
5. No god moding.
Most characters here are mortal. Either way, they all have weaknesses and cannot suddenly conjure a miracle at any given point to help out themselves nor another character. In any sort of fight, no auto hits nor special powers. You have none after all.
6. Private threads are private.
Meaning, if a character's name isn't in the title, they may not post unless given permission by the private thread RPers.
7. Have some decency.
Nothing sexually explicit is permitted on this board. Absolutely no smut. If you have such an urge, take it to PMs. None of us are too interested in reading it in public view.
8. Sailor talk.
Cussing is permitted for everyone, but be reasonable when it comes to RPing. Nothing too vulgar and try to keep it to only characters whom you know would have a dirty mouth.
9. No instant romance.
It takes weeks, months, years even, to create a firm bond. And that's just including friendship as romance can blossom later. Unless you're a tart. >.> At any rate, if I see instant romance, you'll get one warning. If I see it a second time, you'll be banned from Nocturne Niche. This is only alright if you've already arranged for a romantic relationship to already exist between characters with the other RPer's consent.
10. You cannot give yourself a high rank.
If you submit a profile of a high ranking human/horse/wolf, you will be asked to edit your profile or prove that you can handle that responsibility. And if the admin rejects your profile yet you continue to go on as if your character is of that high rank, you'll be removed from the board.
These rules can be expanded as the staff and I see fit.
