GAME RULES - The Watcher - 03-06-2004
Game Rules
1. If you have a question, ask it! However, arguing with the Game Master will not be permitted. The GMâs decisions are final.
2. Do not decide the outcome of an action..(ie..Jake shot Dave in the head) that is the GMâs job. The GM will decide if Jakeâs aim was true and hit Dave in the head, or if Jake shot himself in the foot.
3. All character posts will be made in the third person perspective. (again, see Jake and Dave above) We donât want to see any âI ran through the jungleâ(unless your character is speaking to another character, then this type of speech is fine)â¦or âDave thinks to himself, while Jake talks to Sue.â
4. Post actions for you character only. Do not post actions for other playerâs characters.
5. No out of character posts within the game. Any âOOC Tagâ at the bottom of a post should be only to say that the post was OKâd by the GM. Anything else will result in a reprimand from the staff. There is a forum for out of character chat, use it!
6. We would like for these games to be fast paced. A post by each player every few days would be great! If you cannot accomplish this, then please do not petition to join. If you are a player in the games and need some time off, ASK! The GM will be more than happy to send your character on a âside missionâ until you are ready to return.
7. These are the guidelines for how your posts should be written. We do this to make the flow of the game smoother, and easier for everyone to play along with. Please incorporate these rules within your game play.
Descriptive posts-plain type
Speech- In "Quotes"
Telepathy/Thinking to yourself- In Italics
Flashbacks- Separated using ~~~~~~~ or ---------------
at the beginning and ending of each flashback.
8. Remember, it is only a game. Itâs here for amusement and fun.
9. The GM reserves the right to reprimand players for abusing the rules. Chronic abuse of the rules, or complaints to the GM about a player will be dealt with accordingly.
10. The GM has final call on all characters submitted for the game. No Overly Powerful GOD characters will be allowed in certain games. What fun is a God with no weaknesses?
11. All characters are considered the intellectual property of their creators. Please ask a player prior to doing anything with their character that could be misconstrued as abuse of this rule.
12. The GM also reserves the right to remove a player from the game if they consistantly abuse the rules, are rude or abusive to other players, if they are MIA, or if they become a chronic nuisance.
13. There is no rule #13.
14. You cannot edit your posts after another player has posted behind you. If you want to edit it for spelling or grammer, that is fine. However, editing actions after another player has already posted is not allowed.
Please ask the GM if you need help.
15. We do not use smilies or emoticons in the game. Anyone using them will have their post edited and will get a stern lecture from the GM.
16. Eat your broccoli.
Remember, it's only a game!
