These rules will cover the site's RPing rules. These are mainly focused on basic RP etiquett so I'll keep it brief
1.No making a Mary Sue, these characters have a few different types mostly focusing on a character that is so perfect or near perfect they can do a maximum of things with a minimum of effort or they have a minimum of IC weaknesses.
2.) No Metagaming, this is defined as using knowledge taken from out of character means to use in character actions. This can be done in manners of Characters having knowledge unobtainable by the standards of the site (A pony that's a professional hit man.)
3.) Don't play a "Lorebreaking" character. This kind of goes in with number 2 but is slightly different in practice. It's playing a Canoncally established character in a manner that it's not that character at all. (Like playing Iron Will as a thin and whimpy goat.) or by playing a character that breaks the site's lore and reasoning. (An intelligent Timberwolf OC that holds a job as a resident psychologist.)
4.) no autos. This is a player RPing an action being an automatic success without allowing the other player a chance to react. (So for example "Tel hits Sweet tooth with a shovel knocking her out." Is an unacceptable action.) instead you can RP attempts, (Tel swings his shovel at Sweet aiming at her head.)bid a better action.
There is more RP things you shouldn't do but instead of listing them all just realize that bad RP is bad RP and it will be called out. I'll be adding a link to a few "RP sin" pages that will explain this more in further detail.
