Instructions, guidelines and warnings

• To start a thread, in the subject line please put: [Date] - [Title] - ([players involved])
• [Date] refers to the date HR time that the thread occurs
• [Title] is the name of the thread
• [players involved] is to let the other players know if the thread you've started involves them or not. If it is a stand alone put (no one) or (IM), whichever is applicable. If it is open to all players, or all players within an area, put (all) or specify the area, i.e. (space station), (mansion), (Hanson home).
• In the post, you may find "IC:" (In Character) or "OOC:" (Out of Character). These are used to differentiate between story telling and the player talking
• TAGS: is put at the end of a post to indicate which characters are invited to reply, or 'no one' if it is the end of a thread.
• In the absense of "IC" and "OOC", IC text is above "TAGS" and OOC is below.
• You may have as many characters as you want, provided you can handle them. You may also share characters with other players.
• Personal characters are expected to declare a status (Major, Minor, etc), but the status system should be regarded as a guide. You may change a character's status at any time.
• You may create as many public characters as you want. You may also claim existing public characters as your own, and move your personal characters to public.
• Pets are owned by the player who owns the character who owns the pet (is that confusing enough for you?)
• You may only kill (or otherwise maim) your personal characters, or public characters, unless you have the owner-player's permission
• Please provide me with profile information, profile updates, status and ownership updates, so that I can keep the site... updated!
• You may only post within the active month, and finish off threads from previous months. You may also start threads in previous month IF they are vital/directly related to threads in the active month. (But DO NOT go any further than 1 month behind).
• Please remember to sign your posts

• Please avoid writing heavy violent or sex scenes, but if you must write one, such a post gets a warning put on it.
• Please avoid one liners where possible (we understand that sometimes one line is all there is to say!)
• While this is primarily a Science Fiction based RPG, there are some Fantasy elements. This, however, is not to be taken as an invitation to crossover things like Harry Potter and Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

• If you reply to a thread 'uninvited', the invited players are under no obligation to reply to your reply (see How to Play).
• If you have a char (or many chars) that have been inactive for too long (relative to the current rate of RP), after warnings, your characters may be retired (if original) or made public (if unoriginal)
• Constant defiance of the rules of the game may result in you getting kicked out. I hate having to kick people out. It sucks. So please, play nice!
