[shadow=black,left,300]The Rules[/shadow]
1) Roleplay posts must contain some in-character content. Don't be scared if it's not much, though! It's okay if it's just "the wind blew". Why? Post count is only enabled in in-character areas, as post-count is to be judged based on roleplay posts.
2) Only roleplay with characters you've had approved and moved to "approved characters". (You can have NPCs, though. Example, NPCs bolded: Ponies bowed as Poison Crisis' hooves moved her slowly across the cobblestone road. Her guards moved on either side, eying everyone suspiciously, as if innocence didn't even exist in anyone except their leader.)
3) No sexual scenes. At all. I will delete accounts if these are roleplayed.
4) Please specify what's in and out of character! Put it in (parentheses), [brackets], put "OOC:" before it, or anything else that distinguishes it.
5) No power-playing! If somepony could make a guide on power-playing, I'd be very thankful! Basically, power-playing is roleplaying someone else's character. However, it can be very subtle, which is why I want a guide on it.
6) No auto-hitting! This is when you attack someone else's character and automatically say it hit. It is still counted as auto-hitting if you dodge all of the other character's attacks. (Unless, say, it's a rebellious little pony charging at a full-grown one.)
7) Don't "read minds" without having it as a unicorn power (that was originally on your bio). That wouldn't have to be "he read her mind", it could be "he could tell that she missed someone". (If there's reason, such as facial expression, go ahead.)
8) No current tense. (She draws her sword/he wipes off his hooves/etc.)
9) If roleplaying first-person style ("I walked through Ponyville, smiling at my friends"), indicate the character with a header.
10) Use proper grammar to the best of your ability in roleplaying!
11) No arguing out-of-character in roleplay boards.
12) Make sure to tell me whatever rules you think I missed!
