Naruto: Life of a Ninja Rules - V 2.0
General Rules
RPing RULES
General Rules
- No member is to argue with the admins and staff. We chose the staff members because we feel that they have the potential to help the site in the long run. If you have any complains, please inform any of the admins before going public. Violation of this rule will cost you a warning.
- Please be respectful of others. People come here to have a fun time and to improve their writing skills. If you are merely here to make fun of others and to flame, then you best leave the site. We do not tolerate inappropriate behavior and can cause immediate banning.
- Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages. Not a good thing in this site. This includes one liners and simply out of the topic posts. Please refrain yourself from doing so. We'll let it slide for the first few times, but if it gets repetitive, a warning shall be given.
- Speaking of SPAM, absolutely no double-posting unless its a self RP. Double posting and one liners are especially not tolerated on this site.
- Please refrain yourself from posting in anyone else's profile but your own. Only staff and admins should be doing so. If you have a suggestion or a comment about a person's profile, PM them please. But the rules still apply. Do not be rude and aggressive about it. It is a suggestion. Oh, and concerning profiles, the word there should be dattebayo.
- Concerning the chat box (commonly known as c-box), none shall advertise other sites or argue. It is impolite to do either and can drive away other potential members. As well, do not impersonate anyone on the c-box unless given permission by character holder. It is annoying and disrespectful. Violating these can cause a ban to posting in the c-box.
RPing RULES
- We are trying to make this site as literate as possible. So, we are requiring in character posts must have at least four well written sentences. Once in a while, it is alright to go to a lower standard, but if we see you repeatedly posting one liners, you will be warned. If need be, the admins will create a roleplaying help board and perhaps rp exercises.
- Concerning characters, each person may only have one CANNON character. However, they may have any amount of original characters. If you have multiple characters, please register each of them in a separate account. It will avoid confusion that way. If you are too lazy to log out and switch accounts, then perhaps having multiple characters is not for you.
- Those applying to be the leaders of villages must consult and be approved by an admin (currently Gaara and Temari). Remember, only the top five villages have Kages (Konoha, Suna, Kumo, Kiri, and Iwa). The rest of the villages will have Lords/Ladies ruling over them. When applying for a leader position, please state why you are a suitable person to play the Kage/Lord/Lady. As well, Akatsuki members need an admin's approval before posting the profile. Simply state at the top of your profile, "Approved by (insert admin name here)". When applying for a Kage or Akatsuki role, please include an RP sample for the admins to judge your skill.
- If you have not kept up with the storyline, Uchiha Itachi had massacred his clan. The only survivors are himself and his younger brother Sasuke. (There may be more in the future) Therefore, until there are officially more Uchihas, there will be no custom Uchiha characters other than Sasuke and Itachi.
- Please avoid arguing OOC (Outside Of Character) in IC (In Character) posts. It is very annoying and can cause people to leave the site. People are here to enjoy themselves, so don't spoil it for them! The admins will hunt you down... -.- (Admin Humour...)
- As all roleplaying sites infer, absolutely no Power-Playing (aka Godmodding), meta-gaming or overpowered and near perfect characters. For those who do not know, power playing is when a person controls another person's characters. It is alright to do so with characters that have no players, but please respect the intentions of the person you RP with. Meta-gaming is when you take your OOC knowledge and apply it to your character's knowledge. If you haven't met the character, chances are you do not know them. Please do not act like you know the character inside out on your first meeting. Be your character!
- Grammar. One of the things that make the world go round. (yeah right...) Please try to be accurate with grammar and spelling. Proboards has a spell check button on the bottom of the posting page. Use it. It will help all of us in the long run.
- Your display name should read the same name as your character name. Once again, this is to avoid confusion. Also, please place a link to your APPROVED profile in your signature. That way, people won't have to browse to look at information from your profile (for example, appearance).
- Involving character profiles, please do not post in anyone else's other than your own. Comments are appreaciated, but please address them to the administrators or staff that are checking and approving profiles. Bumping profiles does not help either. Also on this subject, do not make IC posts without an approved profile.
- Absolutely no KILLING of characters without:
1. The Admin's Consent.
2. The Player's Consent.
3. Role Playing of Death in appropriate thread.
When a character dies, PM one of the admins with the name of the character that has died and in what thread the character had died in. It would help us keep track of who killed who and what not. - If you play a cannon character and you act way out of character, you will be stripped of the character and be asked to register a new one. (Example: Naruto being serious all the time. Shikamaru being interested in women, etc...)
- I lied earlier. Congratulations for reading this far down in the rules. To reward your efforts, the true keyword to your profile is no, oops I lied.
- This applies to all characters. If you have to visit another village other than your own country, please post in the various checkpoint threads located in each village. This is to keep track of people going in and out. And once you leave, repost in the checkpoint and your posts in the checkpoints will be deleted once you have re-entered another village.
- Custom characters cannot have jutsus that only apply to cannon characters. These include, but are not limited to: Rasengan, Chidori/Raikiri, Any sand jutsus by Gaara (due to the fact that he is a jinchuuriki), Lotus taijutsus used by Lee/Gai (unless you are a taijutsu only shinobi), Medical jutsus (unless you are a full fledged medical shinobi), Immortality skill, Edo Tensei...
- Just one more, I'm sure your elementary school teachers told you this, cite your sources. If you use information that you, yourself, did not write up and don’t give credit to its original owner, well I’m pretty sure that could be considered piracy. Or just stealing. Make sure to clearly state where you got your information.
