General
*No God-moding. (Controlling what others do.)
*Respect and listen to all admins.
*If you do happen to argue with another member, take it to pms.
*Never EVER impersonate another member. Not in the c-box, not in roleplay.
*No double posting (that's where you post, and then post again so there's two of your posts in a row). There's a modify button. Use it instead of double posting.
*Please keep all things personal in pm's. No one wants to read something that they don't understand because it's a private joke.
*One account per person.
Character Creating
*Characters from the movies/books can be made, but you must have a very detailed bio to be accepted and they must be active.
*You can have unlimited characters, but a limit of three from the movies/books. All must be active.
*Stick to your character's personality.
*Put all your charries in your signature, along with important details about them.
EX:: Aragorn//Man//Male//King of Gondor
COB- Dwarves: Rohan [Moria]
Elves: Rhovanion [Mirkwood or Rivendell]
Hobbits: Eriador [The Shire]
Man/Half-Elves: Anywhere [Men from Mordor would have a darker personality.]

Posting
*Do not, for any reason, post in a thread that is in the junkyard. If a thread was sent there by accident, tell an admin.
*Posts must be at least a full paragraph. Posts with only a few sentences will be deleted.
*Use spell check.
*Use proper grammar.
*Please use appropriate colors. No tough warrior would post in pink.
*Please use visible colors. If I can't read it, I won't try.
*Cursing is allowed, but please not frequently.
One-on-One
*You can be in any amount at any time.
*This does not affect the rest of the RPing world. [For instance, if in your thread Gondor and Rohan are fighting, then they aren't anywhere else.]
*Make sure the thread has your names on it. [EX::Snarky + Feather]
*Only two people can be involved in a one-on-one thread, but each person can use any amount of their characters.
Academy
*This place is only for people under twenty-one unless you work here.
*You will have a chosen profession to work on here, and will not dabble in others.
*You can be kicked out for unruly behavior.
*You can drop out, but then you will get a mark on your bio that says such and you will not have the amount of skill needed to fight, dance, or heal.
*Teachers have authority over students. Don't argue.[/center][/size]
Mating?
*Yes, you can have children. Please, no graphic posting.
*A bio must be decided between the parents.
*No more than twins. Therefore, no triplets or anything higher.
*The child must stay with his/her mother. If there is no mother, than the child will stay in his/her mother's birthplace.
Kingdoms
*If there is currently no king, then you may take the position without hassle.
*Do not expect to just run in and speak to the king. Post first that you are waiting at the castle doors, and a guard will reply and decide whether or not he lets you in.
*Yes. You can complain to the king of your country, but that doesn't mean he has to do something about it.
*Yes. Your king can punish you. Yes, he should have a reason, but not necessarily.
*And yes. Evil or mean kings can be uprooted if his people unite against him. In that case, his son/daughter will take over. If there isn't one, the people will vote on a new ruler.
Quests
*If you want service from a blacksmith or other employee, they may ask you to repay them by doing them a favor.
*They will send you on quests, which you cannot complete alone. [Look for a partner in the board made for this.]
*Be prepared to fight for the prize, or negotiate for the ends they want met before you get your end of the bargain.
Random Attacks
*Just out walking with your friends? Hope you're armed, because admins can attack at random as any type of enemy they want.
EXPECT:: Attacks from orcs, goblins, urk-hai, wargs, and others.
War/Battles
*Of course there will be battling.
*You must present a valid reason.
*Turn posting is required.
EX:: Elf A, Dwarf A. Elf B, Dwarf B.
*Yes, you can be killed.
*Again, no god-moding.
EX::Player A swung his axe, aiming for the head of the enemy.
BAD EX::Player A swung his axe, hitting his enemy in the head and killing them.
BAD EX::Player A swung his axe, hitting his enemy in the head and killing them.
*You must give them a chance to dodge.
*You cannot dodge every attack. No person will go through a battle unscratched.
*No, females cannot fight.
Can they try and hide their identity, like Eowyn? -Of course, but they can also be caught and punished accordingly.
*If you are an entertainer, you cannot fight.
