RULES
ZERO
Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites--
i mean on to the rules you need to follow and stuff. um. yeah.
ONE
In-Character is not Out of Character. Sometimes, characters are jerks. This doesn't mean the mun is a jerk! And sometimes, characters do things which would get them in trouble! (Like, say they tried to kill a Gym Leader. That's a no-no.) If they did do that, though, there would be in-character consequences! Don't worry, we don't hate you. It's just how it goes! And it doesn't even need to be trying to off somebody. If there's something in-character which pisses off another character, you can't just try and ooc-ly talk them out of it. IC-ly, maybe. But keep OOC and IC seperate, and you'll be fine.
TWO
In line with that rule above this one, the whole IC is not OOC one, there's another important rule like that. Don't godmod. What's that? Basically, it's when your character becomes super-awesome and can do everything. Or when you control another character without permission, for any reason you can think of. I'm sure it may be fine in some games. I hope it isn't. But anyhow, none of that here. Also, your character can't know things that they haven't heard. They can't know what TMs/HMs you get from badge wins until somebody tells them, they can't know that it's a long way to swim to get to any other region, they can't even know how much of a weirdo some of the gym leaders are.
Unless they've heard it in-character, of course.
THREE
As for character limits... Technically there's no limit; however, keep in mind your own limits when taking advantage of this rule. For example; perhaps when you're off work or school you can manage those five muses, but when those classes start again? It's never fun to find yourself forced to pick and choose in that situation, so use your own judgement when deciding a limit.
Activity checks meanwhile, are just a monthly check in. Just let us know you're all fine and still playing, and we won't make you dig up any threads. Hey, we can trust you! And after all, we all know that things can come up; maybe this month was hectic, maybe something happened that you didn't foresee, so there wasn't time for a hiatus; simply let us know, and it'll all be cool.
FOUR
This game does have a rating of PG-13. So... don't show explicit sex scenes on the main comm, please and thank-you!
If you absolutely want to do that sort of thing, then you can do that in the Log-Comm, under a read-more; and ONLY if you have a warning listed. Think of the children! (Or at least your friendly mod?)
FIVE
You wanna know what's fun? Plots. Plots are always fun. But if you're going to do one which alters the world, or just involves the whole of Unova - please send it by me? I wanna know what you're planning, after all. Smaller plots - like parties or the like - won't need approval. Stuff which needs approval is like... blowing up Castelia, trying to rob somewhere important, and that sort of thing.
Another thing which needs approval is getting badges - just so you don't power though the gyms with a level 5 Magikarp or something. A level 100 one, though? If you've been training it that long and not evolving it, the more power to you, and it might work.
...Maybe.
