-Rules-
These rules apply to every single one of you on this board so please follow them. I worked very hard on these rules and it would be a shame for me to see that you are not following them.

-Getting Started-
Well of course the new members to proboards need this.
Well of course the new members to proboards need this.
What is this RPG about?
This is a Star Wars RPG that is on its way to becoming a successful site. This is Star Wars related, and I don't want Anakin in this. We're starting from scratch where the first Darklord had took its place in the Sith and organized members. Then also a Jedi who formed the Jedi Council.
How hold must I be in order to register?
Well, on every proboards site you must be thirteen years or older to join so I think we should follow that rule, give or take a year or two. No younger than 11 on this board. This RPG can get into PG-13, so watch out.
How do I start out here?
Well obviously you have to register first in order to begin here. Second you must come and read these rules which you are doing now. Then you come up with a good name for your character. It doesn't necessarily have to sound Star Wars like, although if you want to fit in as a beginner, it should.
-Important Rules-
These rules you must to follow, I don't want to catch people breaking them.
These rules you must to follow, I don't want to catch people breaking them.
Role Playing
Okay to start off I might as well say this; You are not allowed to roleplay until you have been sorted into a group and registered! If you break this rule you will be left off with a warning.
Death
You must be engaged in the character your character wants to kill, and the kill must be fair and logical. There will be no back-stabbing without pre-engagement. Once your character is dead, do not delete his/her account. It won't be counted as one of your howmany characters you have alive.
King/Queen
Okay, now you are not allowed to be a Jedi or Sith and the Queen or King of a planet at the same time. If you would like to be a Queen or King of a planet and you are already and Jedi or Sith you must register for another character with a different name.
Profanity
Okay, this has been a problem on each and everyone of my sites. I have told my members to not use profanity and to keep it to a minimum, so I am doing the same to you. A little bit here and there but if you begin to use profanity out of control for absolutely no reason you will be left off with a warning.
Third Person Format
Okay, this was another problem on some of my sites. The members did not know how to do third person format. This gets me really frustrated. Even when I gave them examples they didn't understand. I am going to say this once if you don't get it read it over and over until it gets in your head.
Example:
First Person:(Incorrect Way) I walked upon the platform to keep away from the lava. I saw the Darklord ahead and took out my lightsaber. I had clenched it in my hands and ignited it. Then I swung my lightsaber towards him..
Third Person:(Correct Way) Crystal walked upon the platform to keep away from the lava. She saw the darklord ahead and she took out her lightsaber. She had clenched it in her hand and ignited it. Then she swung her lightsaber towards him.
Posting Length
All the people who Roleplay MUST have a paragraph long when they post. I mean most of you just write a word and it really gets annoying. So don't be lazy and write at least 4 sentences! At least on your intro.
Powerplay/Godmoding
No POWERPLAYING OR GODMODING! Okay most of you have done this to me before! If you do this you will be left off with a warning or your account will be disabled. What this means is you can't control other people's characters.
Godmoding, an explanation:
1. You dodge a lightsaber at a person and make it automatically hurt them.
2. Your character isn't so great that he dodges everything, or the attacks don't effect him.
3. Auto-Hitting.
4. You use the words "Dodge" without an explanation, such as: "He dodged it and slashed back."
Mary-Sure Characters
No, and I mean NO Mary Sue characters! Everyone on earth has some flaws. Not everyone can surivive when they get attacked, not everyone can make the perfect move or attack. It won't be tolerated! If you found your name changed to Mary-Sue and that can count as your warning. Not sure what a 'Mary Sue' is? Click here to see what one is
Names
Your character must have a full name in the application your account name can't just be Crystal it has to be full Crystal Star. And for those of you who are slow I used my name as an example.
Characters Appearance
Okay people you must, and I mean must have a avatar or signature of what your character looks like.
No Relations
Okay most of us who have AOL have been on the KOL boards. So you probably know what I am going to say. YOU ARE NOT ALOUD TO BE RELATED TO ANY OF THE CHARACTERS FROM THE STAR WARS MOVIES! What I mean is you can't be related to Anakin or Padme. Or any Star Wars character.
Special Qualities
Okay when you are applying for an original character you must ask me (or any other admin) if you can have any special power such as being a vampire. And you have a 90% chance of being denied that power.
Spelling
I've noticed people have problems spelling which isn't a good sign. (Such as Vicky when she made this, I've been checking spelling for a while...) Please use spell-check. People will not understand you if you don't use it. So all spelling must be written correctly. Also, spell your words out. Don't write "OK", "O.K.", "o.k.", or "ok", write it the correct way: "Okay."
Signature Limitations
I want the boards to look neat and tidy and the only way to achieve this is by smaller signatures because its getting quite out of hand so you are only allowed ONE image in your signature, otherwise it'll get taken out. By quite out of hand I mean you have large, giant signatures. If you want you can put a link to the siggy you want to put up.
Character Limitation
Okay by this I mean you may only have three characters on this site. That includes admins. Other admins can check hidden e-mails, and if an admin violates this rule, or any non-admin violates this rule, they will be notified and give 3 hours to eliminate one character, or the first one (in alphabetical order) will be deleted.
Advertising
You can not and may not advertise your site here if you do then you will be warned. This is spamming and I want this site to be clean not filled with spammers! If you want to advertise your site, you must have over 50 posts here or you will be deleted. And when you advertise your site, it must be in your profile under your site. Taadaa, a use for that slot.
Leet
Leet no and I mean no leet!! (1337) That's leet, don't use it on this site cause I don't want to see it at all! If you do then I will leave you off with a warning. Unless it's in the Cbox, then no one cares.
Double Posting
Okay when I was new to proboards I use to double post every five minutes. So I noticed it got very annoying and I stopped. So you are not aloud to double post either. That means in a roleplaying post. This can be considered a God-Mode. This board is in TBL (Turn Based Logic). Meaning if you attack or make a move, you must allow your opponent or partner to make a move as well before you move again.
Ressurection
No ressurecting your character. Weither it's through special powers (granted or not) or through the logical Force way, no ressurection. If you want, you can keep the character in a Force ghost (Even if you aren't a Jedi), but once you're dead you can't regain your body.
No Timed Victories
No raiding a planet and saying "If you don't respond in X amount of time, you lose."
Stealing
Please don't steal anything from this site or I will report you to proboards and I will take action.
(Application Questions:
1. What's your favorite color?
2. What's your favorite food?
3. What's your favorite side? Light or Dark?). I worked hard on this site so don't steal! Use your own talent!
Respect
Do not under any circumstance disrespect an admin.
Fun
And like at the end of all my rules! HAVE FUN !!!!!!!
If you can't follow these rules then don't even bother joining this site.
Thanks for Reading!
