User:TheCrimsonOracle/Cyberpunk Novel Project/Rules

Welcome to the rules for the Cyberpunk Novel Project. These rules should be relatively straightforward. If you aren't familiar with RPing, I would highly recommend that you read each point on this page. If you are familiar with it, feel free to skip the RP section.

General Rules

 * Don't erase what other people add to the story
 * We will operate on a turn basis. Each turn lasts an hour in-game. However, you may post as many times as you want in a turn as long as you aren't being a nuisance.
 * That being said, don't be a nuisance.
 * Be plausible about what your character can do in an hour.
 * Read what others post so you know what's going on.
 * You can be in any faction, including Atlas.
 * You must be at least 16 years old to write in this project.
 * Cyberpunk is a dark future filled with crime. Your character, most likely a criminal, is not a good guy. This isn't a story of good vs. evil. This is moral ambiguity versus moral ambiguity.
 * Since crime plays such a large part in this story, I'm going to be very lenient on depictions of illegal activity. The only thing I frown upon depicting in this is rape and super-graphic violence.
 * Use your brains

RP Rules

 * Don't control anybody else's characters. Ever.
 * No godmodding if you're fighting against someone else's character.
 * No Gary Sues. What's a Gary Sue? He's a perfect character. Gary Sue wins all the fights, gets all the girls, and is flawless in every way.
 * No metagaming
 * If you lose a limb, you don't get to grow it back. If you get shot, you won't instantly heal.
