This is going to be a page to explain the rules that we are going to have in place for the Astonishing X-Men group rpg.<br/><br/>Loislanekent and I are the two mods, so decisions will be made by the two of us. Please don't argue with us. If you have a suggestion or idea, feel free to message one or both of us, but try not to make demands.<br/><br/>Ok, the first thing to mention in these rules is that this is not meant to be us following complete canon of any story. This is a story of our own creation and as such the characters are open for interpretation. If you don't think someone is playing a character they way they would normally act, that is fine to have as an opinion, but keep it to yourself. The back story and personalities of these characters may have large or small changes, based on how the player in control wants them to be. Please respect their decision.<br/><br/>This leads into the next rule. Respect the others in the rp at all times. Don't attempt to bully people into doing things they way you think they should be done or want them to be done. You can suggest ideas to people, but if they say no, leave it at that.<br/><br/>No godmodding. This is something we all need to be careful of. Please try to avoid controlling anyone's character other than your own. Also do your best to be realistic. If your character should be hit by an attack, let them get hit. Don't come up with some magical reason why they weren't hit in a fight. Trust in your team mates and fight together. Try to avoid using unstoppable abilities all the time. There are some very powerful characters, but we want everyone to have fun. Try not to take over fights with your characters unless it looks like it is something where your character's powers are the only things that could stop the enemy.<br/><br/>If we find that you are being rude or godmodding or bullying others in the group you may be asked to leave the rpg. If you have complaints, please bring them up through PM with Loislanekent and myself, try to avoid negative comments or complaints in the threads or OOC. We want to keep this as a positive experience for everyone.
