GENERAL RULES
BEFORE CONTINUING, PLEASE BE SURE YOU'VE READ THE PLOT
• This is Dinotopia: Keep roleplay rated no higher than PG13. 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 stegosaurus's favourite salad is, 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.
OCs
ALL 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.
• Character Creation: Please keep these realistic and fitting in with the Dinotopian surroundings. Don’t make them too powerful. If in doubt, admin permission will be required. Please keep all gadgets in line with Dinotopian 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. (Sometimes the hair thing doesn't really apply here).
CANON CHARACTERS
Currently, no canon characters are permitted. Auditions will start when the site gets going. Keep checking on updates.
