1) Respect. We strive for a cooperative and a fun RP environment - this will not be achieved with bickering, infighting, and disrespect.
2) The basis of this RP is to have fun, It's also to learn. Thus, I ask that you RP properly: No Mixing, MetaGaming, GodModding, and AutoHitting. If you don't know what they are, read 'em up. If you do, awesomesauce. The combat of this RP is T1 only, so those who will get into a fight or be in positions that require combat training, you'll be fighting in T1. Don't worry if you are not a 'fighter'. Remember, the ultimate endgame to any and all fights of this RP is to progress the storyline. It is NOT to prove that Player A is 'better' that Player B or to settle disputers of phallic potency.
3) This roleplay requires you to bring/create a character in the story based on a predefined set of guidelines. This has been done primarily to curtail the Vampire Goku Sith Lords (YouknowwhatImean) and put a restrain on world-crumbling, galaxy-shattering powers. So before you start roleplaying, bring to my attention the basic outline of the character(s) you want to use and do read the guidelines. I have made them as flexible as possible in order to cater to 'most' characters. Even then, sometimes your character might not fit in the description. Well then, create a new one! I know you want to ^.^!
4) This RP is heavily story-based. It will run off of multiple stories, being those of the members, those around the lores, expeditions, and expansions. So be prepared to have fun! But don't feel left out. If you have ideas about storyline and interesting turning points in the RP, bring them forward to me, and we'll discuss possibly using them or throwing them in somehow. Character development is openly accepted here. IC drama can be good for turning storyline and making for an interesting roleplay.
5) Quick, big rule. Remember that we are not our characters. Please do not Mix your feelings with your character's, and vice versa. Our characters have their own emotions, so please puppet them as if this applies very, very firmly... and do not let OOC emotions influence your actions. If you feel that your OOC emotions about something may influence your roleplaying, please bring it to me so that we may discuss and hopefully resolve the issue.
6) Well, that's about it. I'll only go on to say that we should respect one another's ideas and be considerate of each other's work. No one person should be made to feel inferior because of their level of RPing. Remember you are not inadequate to someone who can post more than you, or post bigger words than you can. Yes, we strive for literate RP, but let us be role-models to those who are still learning how to write out their thoughts in great detail, and let us be mentors for one another, as learning is a road that never truly ends.
