The Rules we have for NO MERCY are very important and a necessary evil. We want everyone to read them if we end up with someone that doesn't actually read the rules. Well then we have a problem.
- No Scene Kids. Do not argue with the staff members over if your pb is "Scene" or not. Staff's word is final. If they say that you need to change your pb, please just do it. We've had issues with this before.
- Staff's word is law. We don't tell you no, just to tell you no. We always have reasons. Don't fight with the staff just because you don't agree with them.
- Our word count for No Mercy is 200 at the least, but we would love more than that.
- Characters' names should be as follows: FIRST MIDDLE LAST. Nothing fancy. Good? Good.
- Please write your applications in the 3rd person, this keeps them fairly objective and easy to read. If you don't you'll be denied until you rewrite it.
- No OOC DRAMA. We all have it, but try to keep it off site. This is a rather large rule. And there is a lot in it. Do not make any rude comments in the Cbox. Everyone can see it and we don't want other people to see your issue. If you have a problem-- please PM the Staff members. They will get back to you as soon as possible. Never fight in PMs, or IMs. If it involves the site, contact the staff. There is no reason for anyone to be fighting.
- If we critique your bio, we're not telling you that you are terrible. We want as many awesome characters as we can get and we are just trying to help. So please don't take it personally if was ask you to add something to your bio or fix something.
- This is not a twilight site, and sadly most of our admins know a twilight character when we see one. If we see ANY application that is harken to a twilight character or any other fandom we WILL deny you. Just use your own work, take up a canon and make them your own. Please. No twilight characters.
- Always post an away. Don't just create your character and leave. It's not fun for anyone and it's always miserable in the end. If you want to be here PLEASE be active.
- No Mary Sues, Gary Stues or anything like that. Everyone knows what they are. If we feel your character is a mary sue we will ask you to change some things in your bio. This is NOT to be mean or call you names. We just want good rounded characters and no one is perfect or completely and utterly terrible. Everyone has problems, but on the flip side not everyone is a series of unfortunate traumatic events that have not effected them.
- No God Modding. This pretty much means, no taking control of someone else's character. But it also means don't play someone into a corner so that they have to react a certain way.
- Open threads are awesome threads. Don't be afraid to start an open thread. It's a lot of fun to just jump in and see what happens and don't be afraid of that. Someone will always come along to answer it.
- This site is rated PG-13 for sexual content, blood gore and violence.
- If you have any suggestions or questions for the staff feel free to PM them or post a thread in the suggestions and questions board.
- We have a character limit here, you may start with two characters. Once those two character reach 25 IN CHARACTER posts you may make another one. This does not include IMs or IC Chat. These are actually role playing posts.
- Please read ALL of the information for each race before applying, we want you to play our version. This ain't twilight, or any other novel you've read. So just use our version, okay?
- Use common sense when creating your character. Also if we ask you to change the age on your character it's because they are probably too old. Be realistic, OC's may rance from 16-600. If you have an idea for an older character PM the admins and they will discuss it.
- Images can NOT be longer than 500 in width. It'll stretch the board and make it look gross. Sigs are 500x300 MAX and avatars are 150x200. If they are too large we will remove them.
- HAVE FUN! That's what the site is for!
