Rules

 

1. Be kind to each other. This is a collaborative hobby - we’re all in this together! Respect other players’ boundaries. Harassment and bullying of other players will not be tolerated. Any instances brought to mods will lead to strikes and/or immediate banning.

2. IC =/= OOC. Please do not allow any Out Of Character issues you have with other players to bleed into In Character situations ingame. Additionally, do not take negative CR personally; always keep in mind that negative CR with other characters does not mean the players dislike you. Also, keep in mind that In Game Actions equals In Game Consequences.

3. Don't godmode or infomod others. Simply put, don't decide what happens to characters that aren't yours. If something you want your character to do would significantly impact someone else, talk it out with their player! If your character happens to be from a canon that has access to another character’s, please discuss with the other player what their comfort level is before having yours either decide something about them or break the fourth wall.

4. Bring your concerns to the mods. The MOD CONTACT POST is anon-enabled and screened so don't be afraid to bring something up. Please use this or PMs to the mod journal as a way to contact us regarding the game. PMing personal journals and pinging personal plurk accounts will lead to being told to use official methods.

5. Read everything! Make sure to read all the game's information and any mod announcements or posts in the OOC community. There's a lot here, but we promise that most questions will be answered in the posts. If not, please feel free to ask questions of mods on the appropriate page.

6. Be active. Activity check is 1 Log and 1 Network Thread with at least three comments from your character per each thread. For more information about activity guidelines, please see the Activity Check post.

7. Don’t beg current players or mods for invites. We appreciate that people are excited to play monsters with us, but since we’re going to be doing this by invite and an application process as well, it’s not cool to beg and harass people for an invite into the game. There will be enough to go around.

8. Players are given two (2) invites every two months. How they choose to utilize this is up to them. They can give out both as soon as they get them, use one per month, or save them for the second month. However, hoarding invites is not permissible. Players will only ever have two invites maximum at any time.

9. Players can only have a limit of two (2) characters in game. This is in an effort to keep our game filled with active and involved characters. This rule may change later, but as of this writing two is the current limit.

10. Do not plagiarise.​ Just don't. Stealing other people's hard work isn't flattery; it's lame and lazy. Copying your own past apps is fine, but trust me that there are multiple ways to say the same thing.

11. Warn for NSFW or potentially triggering content. We know this is a monster game, so violence and dark topics will happen. We are also fine with sex/smut happening since we’re all adults here. We only ask that you warn generously for everything, place such things under a cut and keep the posts locked to the community. It is also okay to move some scenes to inboxes, especially if they venture into the smut territory.

Anyone in violation of this rule will receive a strike.

12. To ask or not to ask? Cosmetic changes are okay for you to assume. We're giving you a lot of wiggle room. Anything that affects powers, however, should be brought to the mods first.
