General Rules

► Be courteous and respectful to your fellow players. Should a problem arise that can't be settled between players, please contact a mod via the mod mail (gauntletmods@gmail.com) to file a formal complaint. AIM contact is to be used only in case of an emergency or questions about an immediate plot or detail.

► The roleplay is not a place for personal drama and players are asked to keep conflicts not related to the game, out of the game.

► God-modding is not allowed. This means directly or indirectly controlling another player's character, and inferring actions or events about that character, without the player's express permission.

► Concrit is acceptable and entirely welcome, but criticism without suggestions and advice with which a player can improve serves no point. If you have a complaint or OOC concern regarding characterization that you feel cannot be addressed to the player themselves, please contact a mod.

► Related to the above, harassment of any kind will not be tolerated and can result in expulsion from the game.

► All players are expected to stay IC, though that is not to say that characters cannot develop over time. Meaningful, realistic development is encouraged and highly laudable.

► Character-driven or character-caused plots are allowed and encouraged, but please contact a mod for approval before any character plots are put into play.

Game Rules

► All IC first-person posts will be posted directly to the main community: gauntlet_rpg. The suggested format for first-person posts is dialogue in simple formatting with actions and narration in italicized brackets. Example: Dialogue. [action]

► All third-person prose log posts will be posted to the log community: gauntlet_logs.

• When posting to the log community, please use the following format:


Characters:
Place:
Time:
Summary:
Warnings:

► When posting to the main or log communities, please tag all entries with your character's name in the following format: name (first and last) [which version they are: OU, AU, Ru]. Examples: Naruto Uzumaki [OU] and The Tenth Doctor [RU].

► All memes (friending or otherwise), introductions, meta, plotting, and similar posts may be posted in the OOC community: gauntlet_ooc.

► Big text, effects, and large blocks of text are encouraged to go behind an lj cut. NC-17 logs should be cut and locked with a proper warning.

► Het, Yuri, and Yaoi are all acceptable, but only among characters aged 16 and up. No exceptions.

► Activity checks will occur every two months. All that will be required is a post or three threads. However, if a distinct lack of activity is noted by the mods (i.e. character squatting) this will be addressed with the player.

► All players must put their application in the profile of their character journals or provide a link on the profile to an entry in the journal itself with the application. This is for the benefit of other players who may not know the character/fandom and would like to read up on who they will be playing with.

► Backdating and future-dating are perfectly acceptable. Simply note them when posting logs or entries.
