Posting Guidelines:

1. Comments during battle are prohibited.
As always, random chatter and non-battle stuff must be posted in General Discussion. If it's vitally necessary that you have to post something to a storyÚplease post in GD the name of the thread, the author, and quote the part you want discussed. ANY non-story thread will be moved to GD.

2. Continue Thread vs New Thread. (This is something that needs to be addressed.)
Only start a NEW thread ONLY if your story A) Is totally separate from the others. B) Something that takes the story in a new direction. In that case it should be marked as (Cont) C) If the story has reached 10 replies. Again, it should be marked (Cont).

3. Plots and Plans. (This is something that needs to be clarified.)
Plots and plans were previously banned due to BOTP3. However, we are willing to reinstate them provided the following guidelines are STRICTLY adhered to: NO WHINING when your plot gets screwed. We will delete these whiny threads and tear you a new one you verbally.


Battle & Story Rules:

1. Keep ALL attacks reasonable.
No, "I use KI to blow up the universe" or "I summon a fleet of 83,246,018,264 heavily armed X-Wings carrying neutron bombs."

2. Your character and battles.
You can write about yourself and set up battles about yourself, but once the battle starts, the outcome's out of your hands...someone else has to write the outcome.

3. Once your character is dead or you quit, that's it they're done.
You can write about other characters, but your guy is going to have to sit out the rest of the Battle. You can still continue to contribute, however.

4. Transformations (if used) are temporary.
Anyone can do it...if they want to. I'd rather not see EVERY character with a transformation...but it'll be allowed.

1. It must be the Powerful Special Attack stat for your main character.
2. The transformation can have it's own stats.
3. It's a temporary change and cannot be used every battle.
4. WE (the staff) say when it can be used again, get it?

5. ALL bios should be formatted using the Character Data Sheet.

Character Stats So you want your 3-point stat system back? Well you got it!

Two (2) Regular Special Attacks: Your character's trade mark specials.
Kind of like Goku's Kamehameha.

This is your character's "ace in the hole".
