Rules
	Drama
		Drama between characters in character's fine, but please leave it at that in character. The moment you cross the line it's not that fun anymore. If you have a problem OOC with someone and feel you need intervention feel free to PM the mods, we'll try to help with the situation. Hopefully without too much trouble. Those actively causing OOC drama will be on a three strike rule, if that doesn't work you will be removed from the game. We figure if you can't learn your lesson with three shots you should not be allowed in our little society. This of course does not count in game, we know that some characters do not click together at all, which is part of what makes playing them a lot of fun, though if we notice that OOC Drama is becoming an IC problem we will do our best to put an end to it. Even if that means asking politely that the two of you don’t interact at all in game. If it persists we may ask you to leave.
	God MOdding
		Okay I know this game has some really powerful super powered beings in it, but really could you keep to pounding the little guys to fights with NPC's? Don't beat the ever living snot out of another player's character or control them in anyway unless it is agreed upon OOC by that player. We'll have enough goons around to wail away on don't worry. We also have a blast group that you can hash out how the fights can go that way people will know it’s fine. Again three strikes and you're out here, unless it's something serious that would mess up the whole foundation of the other character. Any God moding of sexual nature that is not wanted by the other player will result in an immediate removal of the game. We do not have patience for that sort of play in this game. People who abuse calling others out on threads of that nature will also be held accountable, we do not want people harassing others to have them removed from the game.
	Spelling and Grammar
		We know not everyone will have the same abilities for writing, but please at least attempt to get it close. As long as we can understand what you're trying to say it's good. If your character has a writing quirk… Please for the love of all that is sane and some beings that aren’t put it behind a cut!  Some of them tend to hurt looking at on the screen so we’d like to have that warning.  Speech impediments are okay some of them are actually cute so if you want to write out the dialect go for it!  No one’s going to stop you for spelling things out phonetically.
	Character limits
		At this time there's a six (6) character limit for players. This is so that we can spread out characters from popular canons as well as so that we can encourage you to invite your friends if you want canon mates. We would prefer it if you keep characters to one from any franchise. This means if you're playing a Marvel character, doesn't matter if it's comic, movie or cartoon, you cannot choose another Marvel pup. There will be chances later to up your character count as long as you can keep up with the AC. For right now it’s mod’s call if you gain another one.
	Activity Check
		All we require is that you have at the bare minimum ten posts a month. This can either be starting a thread, or replying to others. Each comment made in a thread will be considered a post. How this breaks down: Post to the com – Two point towards AC Reply to a post in com – One point towards AC Post to Network – One point towards AC Reply to Network – One Point towards AC Spamming the Network – Encouraged! The Network is for all in game chatter think of it as internet for the game. If you want to spam kitty pictures there go for it. Music vids, that’s cool too. Spamming the main com – Please don’t. You can have conversations there and long threads, but please try to wrap up a thread before you start a new one. The time line is approximately 24 hours in game to 72 real time, but really don’t feel rushed about it okay? Please feel free to use a mix of posting options to hit AC, this game is all about making connections and allies with the other people there. Also whenever you post please tag the thread. Everyone's able to tag so it shouldn't be that hard to do. Use the RE: (Your character name) for your replies to a thread and your name for the posts you start. This makes things easier to check AC Activity checks will be posted on the 10th of the month you'll have until the end of the month to get it together and posted. It will be required for anyone who's been in the game at least a month. Failed AC checks - These go in a row and do not count haituses. This means if you fail one check, but get the next you're back to square one. First failed check gets a warning Second failed check will result in a forced thread of the mod's choosing. Third failed check means being removed from the game because it's clear you're lurking only.
	Haitus
		We know things come up and sometimes you need a break. Just don't be afraid to tell someone if you're going to be gone a while. This makes things easier for us to plot around your absence so you're not holding other players up.  Please only use a hiatus if you’re going to be away for a while.  Slow spells are accounted for with the low AC, we know that others are in a few other games and they get busy.  There is a form for you to use on the event page for the hiatus, please post it there so that we can keep track of where people are in the calendar.  We don’t want to schedule your event when you’re not here.  Would ruin the whole ‘you run your plot’ experience. If you're found abusing this to avoid the three strikes rule for AC you will be removed. We don't want character sitters in this game.
	Smut / Triggers
		This isn't a sex game, but hey we all know that sometimes things happen and well oops you're waking up next to a stranger and wondering how much you drank... Okay not really but yeah sex happens who are we to deny our pups that? We have a few small guidelines for it though... Don't force your ships on anyone who doesn't want that shipping. Some of our players only play straight characters, or don’t like certain pairings in fandoms. You wouldn’t like it if it was forced on you would you? While I know it will happen please keep those sort of things to posts locked to the pairings or those you want to walk in on it, and for the love of all that is... well exists! Please use a NSFW tag as well as cut for the post if sex happens. Some of us check the game while at work we don't need to be seeing porn okay? Better yet if you feel it might be a little too much for the com, feel free to fake cut to a post in your personal journal into the com with the warnings. These fake cuts will count as the month’s AC, so don’t be afraid to use them if you need to. Do not force your characters on others without concent of the other players. If you are going to do a more adult natured thread that will have triggers (as in a rape or abuse/torture thread) please warn about triggers and run the idea by one of the mods first. That way we can be prepared for the backlash if any. This will also give us time to set up happy posts for others to go to if needed. We don’t want to trigger people in this game too badly. I know this is a horror based game so some triggers are unavoidable.
	Personal Journals
		For the most part gaming will be done in the main com or on the network com. Certain things will happen in personal journals, but it's not a screaming requirement to use the character journals for the game. We will treat posts on personal journals as in the background. They can be included in AC as long as they are for the game, but only the characters within the threads there will know what went on unless they tell someone else. All that we ask is that if you want it to count for AC do a fake cut ( Link to the post ) In the right com, if it's texts to the network, action to the main com.
	Mini plots
		Character fed plots are allowed, after all not everyone will be included all the time in the major plots. The mods will attempt to have mini plots for all pups involved in the game, we may end up doing mini missionson rotation to allow everyone the spotlight. We do ask that if you put up a plot you be patient. We will be running one Player plot per cycle. These will be done between mod plots, meaning if we can we will bump a mod plot back in order to run a player one. If interested there is a form in the event page where you can shoot the idea a mod's way and a mod will get in touch with you to talk over in more detail how you want the event run.
	Play bys
		While a lot of us have PB's they are not screamingly important. While we would like a face to go with the character we do know some do not like showing their face and are more behind the scenes than others. We will cut off certain PB's if we see too many of the person being used. PB's that are unavailable will be listed below. So far all PB's are open!
