Okay, no one really likes 'em, but to keep Age Of Olympus running smoothly, we kinda need em....
General:
We will issue warnings if you fail to comply with these rules. We really don't wanna ban anyone, so don't make us. If it becomes excessive or we've given you an insane amount of warnings, or we get repeat complains, we will ban you. Even if it's just the cbox.
***A quick note on cussing. We allow it IC, but not OOC, and keep it to a minimum. No dropping the f-bomb every other word.
A note about Claiming: Please please please, DO NOT try and claim yourself. That is the job of the staff, and any attempt to get your character claimed by a certain god will not only one, forestall your claiming, but will be an almost guarantee to not get that god. We will claim characters based on your character sheet and your posts, and will do so as we see fit. We understand that sometimes, it's not what you wanted, but did Piper want to be a daughter of Aphrodite? You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your parents.
General:
- We are based on the Percy Jackson and the Olympians/Heroes of Olympus series, but we are an ALTERNATE UNIVERSE site. This means that we do not allow canon characters, and the plot did not happen. Please do not reference this in your character apps, posts, or anything.
- You're allowed one character per account. We currently do not have a character limit, but you do need to be active with your other characters before and after picking up a second character. As a quick note, you can play gods, but you must acquire special permission from the staff to do so, and they may not be your first character.
- We are a PG13 site, so minor cussing is allowed, but no graphic sex or violence. Threads containing this will be locked and participating members will suffer the consequences.
Violence Limitations: Fist fighting is allowed, as long as you have an admin approval and an Admin is watching the thread to make sure things don't get out of hand. We are allowing killing of characters, BUT, you must have permission from the player of that character and from the admins. All character deaths will by strictly monitored.
Sexual Limitations: Kissing is okay. Making out: on occasion. Getting naked: No. Anything beyond that will result in an immediate ban. We accept all sexualities on AOO, don't discriminate (That means everyone. IC discrimination is okay, but only if your character is like that. OOC, not so much.) - We advise that your personal information stays just that, personal.
- Advertising should be done in the Ads forum ONLY.
- Use your account, and your account only.
- Avoid Spam. Spam is less than 5 words OOC (smileys don't count,) less than 250 words IC, double posting, and posting the same thread over and over.
Speaking of, excessive use of smileys is not allowed.On second thought, don't use emoticons in general, please and thank you.- Bullies will be banned on sight.
- Your character must be accepted before you can post an RP
- Keep your posts to a minimum of a 250 words, but try to match the length of the others in your thread.
- Don't Godmod
- Don't puppetmaster.
- Please, no posting templates. This may be removed later, but as of now, posting templates are not allowed.
- No Mary Sues or Gary Stus
- Leaving the Camp is forbidden unless you have permission from the admins.
- ((If you're going to post OOC in a RP thread, it should be in double parentheses like this.))
- We ask minimal muse of emotes, please and thank you.
- The autofilter blocks out cusswords, but please don't use them.
- Don't advertise in the C-box w/o special permission from myself, and myself only
- Please refrain from using all caps unless absolutely necessary.
- Leave your drama out of the cbox.
