1. Third person posting is preferred at this forum.

2. Character dialog should use quotation marks "Damn Peter, you really scared the hell out of me"

3. Do not post one liners, it gives the other player nothing to work with, and you won't get any points

4. Try to post at least one paragraph consisting of 6-8 sentences each. This is important when trying to regain powers an abilities.

5. When roleplaying in battles, remember that you are not God (although some characters have immense powers) so you should not God-mode, it would not be fun to just kill off anyone you want, as it would end the game real quick.

6. Auto-hitting is defined as roleplaying that you hit your opponent with an attack before they have a chance to reply or defend themselves. It is always wiser to "attempt" a strike.

7. All kills must be sanctioned by the moderator or an administrator, this includes non player characters that have been create by another member, feel free to create a NPC of your own and kill them off as often as you like.

8. When doing your roleplay posts, use the PAST tense (turned, stood).


9. Powerplaying is taking control of someone else’s character without their permission. Story lines often require one person to declare actions/dialog for another player’s characters. Try to keep this to a minimum, if you must, Be nice. Anything you declare that another player’s character is doing or saying should be in line for how that player has developed his character. When a storyline involves several characters give the other players a chance to contribute. Don’t jump the story beyond their chance to respond.

10. The moderator reserves the right to make all judgment calls in combat situations. When characters are fighting they will take turns posting, attacker going first. Once one person has posted an attack, they cannot post another attack, nor move their character until the opponent has posted his or her counter attack or damage infliction. If you are pronounced dead you are welcome to rejoin the game as a new character, if available.

11. Members/characters start with no memories of their superhero, villain identity, no powers and no superhuman abilities. Character information, powers and abilities are acquired based on post count, 5 posts toward regaining the characters identity, 10 posts toward gaining an ability or power. This is accumulative, if you post 5 times and regain a bit of your identity, you only need to post 5 more times (ie 10 posts) to gain a power or ability. The moderator will do his best to keep up on this distribution of powers, please help by reminding him when you are deserving of a new ability etc.

12. Exile characters must complete the Realm of the Exiles portion of the forum before that character can interact in other dimensions or upon the earth. The Exile realm is completed by:

a) Regaining the characters identity and powers

b) or if your character is removed by The Dweller and placed somewhere else.

13. You cannot come back as a character that has already died in the game, unless a moderator makes the judgment that another character would have the ability to bring someone back to life.

14. Try to be a productive poster, keep your character going, all characters that are left inactive for a period longer then 1 week, their actions will be taken over by the moderator and dealt with in one of the following ways, until such time as the member is able to return.

a. Character gets hurt severely and is put out of commission for the necessary length of time.

b. If left inactive long enough, the player dies and their points/energy is divided up between the remaining characters, in other words, if your inactive you will run the risk of your opponent winning. So don't let your character down.

15. Each player may have several characters. When posting make it very clear which character is involved.

16. Once a player regains their identity the moderator will post an image of their true superhero or villain identity within the following post, this will also be added to the character's profile.
