Here are the rules. Before you enter the Agency, you must read these.
1. God-Moding
Never god-mod. It is agitating, may conflict with storylines, and just does not work out well. To god-mod means to
If you god-mod, you will be warned. Persistent god-moding will result in a short-term ban of two days. If you continue, it will move to a week. If you continue after that, you will be banned permanently. If you ive a good reason to be able to come back, we may have you again.
2. Language
This RP isn't for kiddies. I will allow swearing of any sort. However, excessive use of the more obscene and fowl curse-words (such as racial slurs and perverted curse-words) will get you a warning. If you continue to use the words excessively, you will be banned until further notice.
3. Respect thy neighbor
We're all friends here. So if you are seen by any of the mods speaking harshly (in a non-joking way) to any of the members, especially the mods and I, you will be given a warning. Further harshness will get you banned until further notice.
1. Characters
When you create your character, make sure they are as original as you can get. Meaning, no "family was killed in a fire" type thing. That type of storyline is usually the result of being lazy. So, try to think harder on your character. Once you create a better background, you'll connect more with the character and feel happier.
This rule won't get you banned or anything, but it is a good thing to take notice of. If I or the mods say that your background or your character could use a bit of a touch-up, don't take it personally. Also, if you find that a mod won't accept your character, despite all of the changes you've made to it, take it up with me and I'll see what I can do.
2. Positions
When you first enter the RP, you are merely an operative. You have no real driving force to the Agency as a whole. You will be given orders and told what to do. There may be a time, far from now, when you seem strong enough to advance in rank. But as of now, know that you're just an agent.
Positions within the team are either fighter or medic. The former is more fighting-based, while the ladder is prone to curing ailments. Both the fighter and medic are investigators and detectives.
3. Time
When posting, make sure you're not in two places at once. This RP is free-roam, so you can develop any of your own sub-plots in topics around the forums. However, that is where you are and where you will be, so don't start another sub-plot topic somewhere else.
4. Out on the field
Whenever there is a job to do (sometimes having to do with the main story), there will be an announcement in the "News Fader" near the top of the forums. It will say where it is happening and some information on what's happening.
5. Do a barrel-roll
The most important rule of them all. Why? I don't know. But don't forget to use the boost to get through.
I'll update the rules later when applicable.
For further information on the RP, head over to the FAQ. If you have a question, you can pose it there if you desire and I will add it to the list along with my answer.
Posting
1. God-Moding
Never god-mod. It is agitating, may conflict with storylines, and just does not work out well. To god-mod means to
- Take control of someone else's character (in any way, shape, or form, unless you're doing a collab-post)
- To make your character much more powerful than they really are (no punching people through buildings, no dodging every single attack, etc)
If you god-mod, you will be warned. Persistent god-moding will result in a short-term ban of two days. If you continue, it will move to a week. If you continue after that, you will be banned permanently. If you ive a good reason to be able to come back, we may have you again.
