These are the rules of this forum, please read them before you read anything else.
Rule 1: Be nice.
This ones easy all you need to do is be pleasant to everyone else on the forum, so be kind, polite, offer constructive criticism and don't be mean. If anyone is being a bit of a tw*t to you or anyone please PM a member of staff.
Rule 2: Grammar.
If you're writing an RP post then please try write at least one paragraph, it gives the next person something to work with rather than just one line. This isn't that hard, just throw in some adjectives, adverbs, what your character is thinking. Also, use proper grammar and spelling, there's a "Spell Check" button underneath click on that and it'll start correcting your spelling. Obviously it'll think some words or names, like 'Ra's al Ghul', are wrong so use your own judgement. One more thing, please write in third person (Karen picked up her bag) rather than first person (I picked up my bag) and don't write it is a script, regular paragraphing.
Rule 3: RP properly
In other words don't go around God-Modding everything, read the last posts and then post accordingly, don't force other players to do something drastic without PMing them to see if it's okay.
Rule 4: Listen to the staff.
We're in charge for a reason, if you're disobeying any of the rules then we will punish you for it. Also, any moderator found abusing their powers in any way, shape or form, is in serious trouble.
Rule 5: Characters.
You are allowed more than one character but the rule is your last character must have at least 30 posts under their belt, and have taken part (or be taking part) in one RP. Not one or the other, both. Also, if you do make a new character don't just abandon your old ones, you are allowed to kill your character off if you want to. Please register a separate account for each character.
Rule 6: Leaving
If you decide to leave the site, please let us know and arrange for your characters fates.
Rule 7: No fandom crossing
We don't want to see a Sherlock Holmes, or a Tony Stark, or anything like that. No fandom crossing, period. Make allusions, but I don't want to see like 95% personality match, same face claim, etc. This is strictly DC.
Rule 8: No Superpowers
We have created this site to be a grounded, realistic DC world, similar to what Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy did, and what the TV series Arrow is currently doing. We're not allowing superpowers into this world; there are a number of normal DC and Marvel sites out there, we chose to go the other way and ground it. Please keep this in mind. If you need help figuring out how to ground a character, ask one of the staff.
Rule 9: Have fun.
This is the most important rule, enjoy yourself!

- Rule 3, amendment A: Auto-Hitting
Auto-hitting should be kept to a minimum if used at all. It's better not to use it, for the sake of a fair fight in which both sides can react. Just don't abuse it, such as making every attack miss your character. If you and who you're playing with have a deal or something, go ahead and auto-hit - but only if, as said, you have a deal in place, or something.

- Rule 5, amendment A: Universe Building
We are going to suspend the 30 post rule at the start, for the sake of building the universe faster. Do you want to play a hero, a villain, and a civilian? Make them all, and forget about the 30 rule. We will be instating that rule once we have a decent world built up. We will announce it here when that happens.
