There's a five-day waiting limit on any posts either in events relating to the main story, or events where multiple players involved. If that means you haven't posted for five days without saying something about it in the OOC thread, the players and/or GMs are free to write you out of the scene and move along until you return. I'll PM you to warn you before this happens.<br/><br/>2. If you haven't responded to the RP or OOC for two weeks without warning or reason, you're considered to have dropped out. I'll PM you once after a week of absence and once after twelve days, but if you don't respond to those, that's the end of it. If you come back after said absence with a good reason for not providing warning, then I'll probably give you another chance, though.<br/><br/>3. There is no strict maximum or minimum post length or word count, but I think one or two decent, detailed paragraphs should do just fine, even for battles. There should be plenty of detail to write in how your pokémon takes or avoids an attack, how your character reacts to it, how it affects the environment, and how your next attack is played out. Though, obviously, don't stress out so much on detail that you take a whole week to reply.<br/><br/>4. If you have a problem with something another player is doing or a decision they've made, even if it's me or Ember, be civil and PM me or Ember about it. I know from recent experience that it will play out better if one of us goes to the other player privately about the issue, rather than bringing it up in the OOC and causing a massive argument.<br/><br/>5. No god-moding opponents, NPC or PC. That basically boils down to not deciding whether or not your attack hits them and not deciding their attacks for them. Additionally, no overpowering your own character; they'll get hit from time to time, and their pokémon will have to sometimes faint in battle, even against weaker opponents. Battle wear-and-tear on the 'mons will also carry over between battles unless you visit a Pokémon Center, use Potions, or take a long rest.<br/><br/>6. There will be a post formatting template that will be detailed in the IC, basically to show at the top of their post who your character is, where they are/where they're moving to, who they're with, and what pokémon they're using if they're in battle. Please follow this with every post, as it makes it easier to keep track of everything and makes it look all nice.<br/><br/>7. As always, treat fellow players with respect and don't harass them if they don't respond fast enough for you.<br/><br/>8.
