Overall, this is a freeform RPG with very little rules. I want members to have as much freedom as possible. This will continue as long as fights do not break out.

There is no set post length, no character limitation, and no dictionary of magical terms. I hope you can play without them. :)

One of the rules however, is to be nice (. . . out of character, not required in character). Not to difficult, eh? Just remember that, and you'll be as good as gold.

Second rule coming up. As I've mentioned, and I'll say it again, there's no such thing as minimum post length here- sometimes it's easier to post one-liners, sometimes it's fun to challenge yourself with longer posts. You are by no means obligated to reply to a post you don't want to, so don't bother people about their post lengths or styles. But the second rule is you must use proper grammar. Attack of the teachers, I know. But really, it's simple. Use correct capitalization and punctuation, and occasionally make an extra effort spellcheck a post if you know you've got something down wrong. I'll not even try to explain how annoying it is when you read a post that's spelled like tHiS, or has, commas, every, two, words, or Every Single Word Is Capitalized.

One other rule that I'd like to force upon you is that there is absolutely no perverse material of any kind allowed on here. I've seen some really "sketchy" stuff other places, and I want this place to be clean of it. Hopefully you'll bear with me on this one.

Powerplaying is allowed to a certain point, unless the other member you're role-playing with says no. That should go without saying. Just keep it toned down- from making the other horse explode to something more mild as the other horse reacting to what you say. It doesn't take away anything from a post. (If you do not want powerplaying in a fight, just specify that at the beginning- you don't have to agree whether or not there's powerplaying, if one person doesn't want it there's none.) If someone does godmode or power-play in character, you are always free to pretend it did not happen in the next post.

Hm. That pretty much covers it. =) If you feel like anybody's violating a rule, or that there should be another rule up there, just pm me, I'd love to hear about it.
