[1] All canon characters must be played by the original actors.
• It is vital that all canon characters are played by the same actors from the orignial series. I happen to think no one could play these characters better and I intend to keep it that way so that is why I made it a rule. Characters from the new movie will only be accepted if they are not played by any actor besides the original actor. For example I do not think that Captain Picard could be played by any one other than Patrick Stewart.
[2] Three characters per person
• I know most people have the ability to play more than three characters but it does get rather tiring for them to have to log in and out every time they want to play another character so in short all members can have only up to three characters.
[3] Characters must be human or alien
• If you intend to join your character must be able to walk and talk, so it must be human or alien, at least your MAIN character. If you wish to play an animal on the side then it must be a sie character so there not a main character. And please note that every character can play at least one-two side characters due to losing track of your main character.
[4] Do not join the site unless you intend to stay
• If you want to join the site then you are most welcome to do so. However do not come join the site and simply never return. That would not be fair to others who wish to join the site. If you do not wish to return then please just visit the site and then leave. I do not want people left out who wish to join.
[5] No character bashing
• This is a big DO NOT DO. Please do not tell someone how to play their character unless they ask for advice which can be given otherwise, despite their actions, let them play the character how they want unless say it is a starfleet officer or one of the good guys that suddenly turn evil which is not possible. Having said that please also note that Romulans and Starfleet officers do not get along.
[6] No God-modding or metagamming
• God-modding is when a member takes over someone else's cahracter which is rude, unfair and unprofessional. You can not control a character that belongs to someone else unless they leave the site and then you can adopt that character but in order to adopt a character you must go through me ro Councellor Troi, better off if you go for both.
• Metagamming is the act of ones character knowing every move someone else makes. If they are Betazoid they can read thoughts and sense emotions but that does not mean they can follow a character where ever they go. Chasing is one thing but just appearing where ehever the character goes is not fair or tolerated. First offense will just be a warning, second we will disable your account for a day, and third offenses will be banned from the site and not allowed back.
[7] No oneliners
• All posts must be at least three to four lines long in order to keep the site active and alive. This is only fair since we want to have an active fun site, now if muse is low then just say so before you post and that will be fine.
[8] No Spamming
• If you have a message that you want to send to everyone then please send it to either me or Councellor Troi and we will determine whether it is appropriate to send out, if it is approved then either I or Councellor Troi will send it to everyone, if it is not then we will delete the message and would advise you to drop it. We do not wish to start a fight.
[9] No critsizing other members
• No critisizing other members. This is NOT tolerated at all, you get one warning for this and then you will be banned from the site and not allowed to return. I am not a violent person and do not like fighting, the point of this site is to make friends and respect one another. No person believes the same thing, we are all different by nature, looks, beliefs, religion and sexual orientation and we can not hold that against each other. Remember "Our continuing mission is to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before...."
[10] Respect all opinions and inquiries
• All opinions and inquiries are respected here. For example, if you have a plot idea just post it in the plot board and we will be glad to go over it with you. We can come to a conclusion to either keep the plot or even add it to the current plot, or maybe come back to it. All plots will be looked over. If you have any opinions about rules or any inquiries do not be afraid to ask me or Councellor Troi and we will be glad to answer them.
[11] No fighting in the communicator
• Your characters may hate each other but please keep this in the role plays and do not fight in the commlink. This rule clashes with respect all members. If you want to have a reasonable discussion then that will be accepted and tolerated but if you want to argue then please bring the argument to personal messages.
[12] All threads can have no more than 500 posts
• Strange rule I know, but it makes it easier. If you wish to continue a thread simply start a new one with the same name and we will place the old thread in the computer logs so that you can go back and look at it any time. None of the threads will be deleted I promise you. All members have my word.
[13] All original characters must start as an Ensign
• Just as if the academy were real, all original characters have to start out as an Ensign and work their way up. You will be promoted depending on how many posts you make. From Ensign to Lieutenant, you have to make 150 posts, from Lieutenant to Lieutenant Commander you have to make 400 posts and to become commander you have to make 800 posts. I know the standards are high but if you really like the site, I know you can do it. To become a Captain you have to make 3000 posts.
Last and final rule
[14] HAVE FUN
• As I have said before we are here to make friends and have fun. As long as these rules are followed then I believe this last rule can be accomplished, and although I am not the captain these rules are all orders. All you have to do is post below saying that you have read the rules before your character will be approved.
To show you have read the rules post this message under this post. Also the secret phrase has been italicized for your convience.
