GENERAL RULESBEFORE CONTINUING, PLEASE BE SURE YOU'VE READ THE PLOT• This is Equestria: Keep roleplay rated no higher than PG 15. If you have questions regarding whether or not content is appropriate for roleplay, contact a mod or admin. • No rapid posting: Rapid posting is posting in a thread you've already posted in, before everyone else had a chance to post. Keep to a post order where possible! It makes things easier for everyone to respond. • Don’t god mod: "God Modding" is detailing the actions of another character or NPC that is not your own. If you feel like you have been god modded, either tell an admin or pm the offender and explain (as reasonably as possible) where you feel this happened. Please also keep the knowledge of other characters reasonable. For example, you shouldn’t know what the crazy pony's favorite flavor of muffins are, if she didn’t tell you or give this to you as reasonable knowledge. • Adhere to posting format: Please only use past tense in RP. It keeps it consistent, and much easier. No tense changes, etc. • IC actions have IC consequences: Death and injury are possible in this game. Above minor things (cuts, scrapes and bruises from falls/trips/other minor accident), all parties involved in fights will need to consent to the outcome, and for more serious things, ESPECIALLY character deaths, admin consent to content will be needed. Please don’t be too foul or gory, not all of us have strong stomachs. In case of disagreements, admins are the supreme authority in determining winners, fairly, of course. • Hit declaration: If your character performs an aggressive action against either an NPC or player-character, even if the attack's intention is only to intimidate or show-off, you must notify an Admin prior to posting to check the attack's outcome and in case of a NPC, the response. Even the most skilled of characters may make a mistake. OC PONIESALL CHARACTERS MUST BE APPROVED BEFORE BEGINNING TO POST ON THE BOARD - Please do not start posting IC until you have received an approval reply to your OC post. GUIDES:The WorkshopPosting Guidelines (OC and Canon)• Pony Creation: Please keep these realistic and fitting in with the Equestrian surroundings. Don’t make them too powerful. You shouldn’t have ponies that can make Rainbow Dash look snail-like or Twilight Sparkle look idiotic. If in doubt, admin permission will be required. Please keep all pony gadgets in line with pony technology too! If it’s really required, please check with the admins. • No Mary Sues/Gary Stus: If you haven't heard this term, it's generally termed as a character that is supposedly 'perfect'. If you are unsure about your character, take the Mary Sue Litmus Test. Yes it's long winded, but it is pretty accurate. This usually will cover things like 'changing eye colour with mood' or hair that is unusual for the universe. (The hair thing doesn't really apply here). CANON PONIESBEFORE CONTINUING, PLEASE CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT CANON CHARACTERS ARE AVAILABLE FOR AUDITION• All Canon Characters must be auditioned for: DO NOT create users for them before auditioning. Additional guidelines for this are HERE. • Lead characters are admin-only: Luna, Celestia, and Red Charge are all admin controlled. Should a particular canon be controlled by an admin, a notice will be posted so you know who to pm about any issues you may have. • Activity is required: Depending on current needs of the forum, a canon is permitted to remain inactive for no longer than seven (7) days without prior notice. If you are the player of a canon character and believe you may be inactive for longer, please contact an admin. Canon characters idle without notice longer than seven days will be considered for recasting.
