Rules
1) A standard rule of any RPG: No God-moding.Meaning,don't make your character super powerful or unable to be hurt by anything.Unless you're one of the main leaders of one of the High Courts,you shouldn't come from each and every battle unscathed and fresh as a rose.And even the leaders should balk at a combined attack from one of the other groups.
Another facet of this is writing: "Sailor Watchimacallit threw an energy blast at so and so,and they fell down dead." This will not be tolerated at all.The only way this can happen is if both the attacker and the attackee's player agree on it.
2)Playing another character's actions: This is sort of iffy.If it is done without the player's permission and excessivly,the guilty person will be warned.If it continues happening anyway,this person may be evicted.
3)Participation:We know how school can be(we're both still in it) and we know other obligations can come up,but we'd like to know when this happens.There is no required number of RPGs per month or anything,but if it's been 1 month,and you haven't even contacted anyone,we will try to contact you. If this doesn't work,you may be in danger of eviction.PLEASE try to let the GMs know what is going on.
4)GMs: We are nice people(most of the time ^^;)We just try to keep the RPG running and have fun.To do the former, we need to know what's going on.BOTH of us.If you have an independant RPG going on,one that doesn't involve everyone, that's fine.But at least send us a copy so we can post it.We'd really like to know if there's any infighting between any of our players,or any other problems.(Infighting was the kiss of death for the last RPG I was a player in >:(
To fufill the latter,we might make some people unhappy. It's pretty obvious that we have to deny some characters and accept others.If we happen to have eight senshi at the moment, and two villians,we will probably stop accepting senshi for a while. It's nothing personal,but if we have enough senshi to simply mug the villians,we have a problem.Try again later.And if we have rejected your character,we're not going to be assholes about it(unless you become an asshole about it ^^) We will try to tell you what was wrong with your character or the situation,and what you could do about it.You're welcome to try to fix this and try again(unless you were absolutely rude about your rejection and developed a bad case of potty mouth. This tends to piss me off,and we might be a little less charitable considering your character next time round.) Constructive criticism is always welcome,but we don't appreciate flames or any other little pranks you care to try in order to "teach us a lesson." We sincerely hope this will not be a problem-

4)Guardians: Every RPG needs one or two of these.To find the senshi,to advise them, to just be a source of comfort... Gaia is one of these,although she isn't really an animal, as is traditional.We're allowing each senshi to have a guardian,of a sort.If you bring your pet to Gaia, she will endow it with "speech" and intelligence. Why do I have the speech in quotes? Because they will only be able to speak to their senshi or another animal, unless Gaia says otherwise. Why? Because an RPG will get unexcusebly cluttered if everyone and their guardian is trying to join in the conversation v_v
Note: The pet thing applys to domestic animals. We'd really rather not have Siberian tigers or Komodo dragons running aroung Atlantis,if it's all the same to you guys. But it's also permissible to have a pet from faerie,if you can explain how you got it, and what it's abilities are.
5) NO CLIPPING EXCEPT BY THE GMs!! This means thou shalt not leave any part of the previous e-mail out, because you think it's too long. Simply e-mail one of us to cut it.
While we're on the subject of the actual RPGs: Try to keep them in either e-mail or .txt documents. ^.^; My computer tends to eat .doc files...(If you must send your application or e-mail in .doc, send it to Kokuei-chan)
