Rules

1. I am the GM. Blah. It's sad that I have to add this, but this means please don't waste my time by talking back I don't accept your character. I have my reasons, and I'll only tell you if you ask really nicely.
2. No Godmoding.
3. Creativity is great.
4. For this RP, you may only play one character. (PM me if you want more than one, and we'll talk). An unlimited number of people can join, and at any time. But if we're already a long ways into the RP, you may have to ask and/or wait for an opening in the plot.
5. Do not play someone who is OP'd. Your character can be a genius shot or navigator or thief, but he can't be all three.
6. Interesting characters are key; create a traitor! Someone who's seasick! Someone who has some embarrassing secret. They can't all be running away from reminders of dead lovers or people who want to kill them.
7. Romance? Allowed, but don't get explicit.
8. Same on violence and cursing. Keep it moderate. I know that this is an RP about sailing, but I don't want to feel like clawing my eyes out at explicit material.
9. Post characters in the tab, even though I'll be using the forums for the IC. If I haven't RPd with you in a while, I'd like you to PM me a recent sample post. Or, if you don't have a good one, an introductory post!
10. Please read about the accepted characters; I will not be accepting duplicates.
11. Let me know if you're leaving town, or just leaving the RP.
12. If you don't post within two weeks of your previous post, I will declare you officially out of the RP, and your character will be NPC'd, most likely resulting in character death.
13. Post length should be at least three decent-sized paragraphs; if I accept you, that means I trust you. Don't break that.
14. Post whenever you start to get that guilty feeling in your gut, telling you that perhaps you oughta post. You figure out what that means.
