The Pandora ~ Eywa's Dream RPG Rules:
1. Please read the Forum Rules first so you’re aware of this message board’s overall rules.
2. Create and post your character’s information in the Character Creation section using our Form. Afterward an admin will be contacting you via PM if it needs corrections or not. When your character is approved by an admin, you can then jump in and play! You can also have as many characters as you desire, as long as you keep them active - just put who your characters are in your signature and links to their profiles so others know who you play.
3. Please respect all players (even if your characters do not get along in the RPG). Remember this is only a game and players should not take insults flung between characters to heart. Do not start flame wars, it doesn't matter who started it, I will end it and ban both parties involved.
4. No one-liners. While we do not have a word count here (as I find them useless), please elaborate on what your character is thinking, feeling, doing, etc. as it makes it easier for others to play off your character’s actions.
5. Please refrain from 'God-Modding' or 'Ubbering' if you get into IC battles/fights (or even just in regular play) with another player's character. This means you cannot take control of another player's character's actions, nor constantly be more powerful or take no damage during such battles. Be realistic here. If you want, an admin can make a ruling as to who wins the battle, just PM us and we will be glad to do so via a coin flip for you both. Also watch out for inadvertent god-modding where you write a small action for another character without that character player's permission; such as if you give something to another's character and you write that they take it - that is a no-no. Let them write that they take it, it's their character and their decision to make.
6. If you want to kill your character (only yours, no one else’s) please PM an admin to get the green light first as we might turn it into a plot point and we like the head’s up.
7. Finish the threads you started and beware of ‘spreading yourself too thin’, which means: A good rule of thumb in RPGs is to finish one thread your character’s in before moving on to a new thread, as if you stick your character in too many threads at once you might become overwhelmed and burn yourself out. Plus it confuses the snot out of others trying to follow your story line as well!
8. Please refrain from crossover characters (like bringing in characters from another movie or TV series). No canons from the movie are allowed since this RP is set 150 years after the fact.
9. If you're going to use the Na'vi language in your posts, please put a translation at the end of your posts so that others know what you were saying.
10. When starting a RP thread, please designate whether it is open to everyone to join in on or if it only includes certain characters. You can do this in one of three ways:
- To designate it as "Open" for all to join, just put open after the thread title like so: 'A walk in the woods (Open)'
- To designate it as private you can do it one of two ways: 'A walk in the woods (Private)' OR...
- You can list the characters that will be involved: 'A walk in the woods (Nia, Ni'watu, Bila'reu)'
Please keep in mind that any threads without any designation after the title will be considered open to join by anyone. If you really want to join a private thread, PM the thread starter to see if they will let you in, but do not be offended if they say no as they probably did mark the thread private for a reason.
11. Now that you've read the rules; where it asks in the character submission form "Banana?" please put "I have read the rules" so we know you have. If you have any other questions feel free to PM an admin. Enjoy and have fun!
