The Out Of Character Rules
_{things you need to know, regardless of where you are}

RULE 1: you do not talk about fight club
The general rules are that you respect other members, keep cursing to a minimum, and obey the staff. You know, the basic character-based rules of almost any forum/board out there. They're easy to follow, and if you don't follow them, I'll call you a bad person with no morals and kick you out.

RULE 2: you DO NOT talk about fight club
In creating an original character, please don't make them the greatest person in the world, or the most miserable person in the world. No one's going to worship your character as much as you might, nor are we going to throw pity parties every time your character remembers its horrible past.

RULE 3: if someone says 'stop' or goes limp, taps out the fight is over
One character per account. Use the character application when making your character, and do not post unfinished applications.

RULE 4: only two guys to a fight
Make good sized posts please. At least onefifty to twohundred words, or two good sized paragraphs. Pay attention to grammar and spelling. The spell check is there for a reason, don't take it for granted. You can be in as many threads as you want (liquid time) as long as you can keep track of them.

RULE 5: one fight at a time
Mature content is allowed in threads. If you are going take the liberty to do this, make sure that you mark that it is mature in the thread's title. I'm not going to make this site kid friendly, but I don't want it to be a sex-fest either.

RULE 6: no shirts, no shoes
There is positively no god-moding or powerplaying. People like to control their own characters, and really don't care about controlling yours. If you have that many problems with control, seek counseling. Both powerplay and god-moding are intolerable, and will get you banned.

RULE 7: fights will go on as long as they have to
As to fighting in character: if you are planning on your characters getting in a scuffle, make sure that you either plan it or discuss it with the other player beforehand. A character only dies if the player of said character agrees to it. Your character can't dodge every time, nor can they hit every time. Get over it. If you need a ref for your fight, one of the staff will decide the winner through poll or roleplay skill.
