In Character Rules
01: God modding is not permitted.God modding, or God-modeling, is to put it simply, making your character like a God, such as them being unbeatable or have all amazing pok?mon with great attacks, or really any other God-like instances you can think of. It isn’t fair to the other members if someone is allowed this much, and also it isn’t that fun to roleplay with when characters don’t have flaws because everyone has some kind of flaws.
02: Powerplaying is also not permitted.Powerplaying is the process of taking control of another person’s character or pok?mon. This is more likely to happen in battles, but please try to watch your roleplaying. It can be a bit difficult, but you can’t guarantee that you will hit the pok?mon that you are battling, and there you cannot control the actions that the other person’s pok?mon may take if they are hit or end up dodging.
03: No word count.While this is a site with no word count, we do ask that you provide posts with appropriate lengths for other members. Personally, my rule of thumb for myself is to try to strive for at least 300 words. While that can be tough at times, it can help you try to get a higher word count. Try not to post one or two sentences because it can drag out roleplays a little bit more. If the partner you are roleplaying with posts 700 words for a post, it wouldn’t be fair to them if you only posted 200 words. We aren’t very strict on this rule, but it’s something to look at.
04: Cursing.Cursing is allowed, but please try to limit yourself. There is no reason that you or your character need to curse in every single post and there are a lot of people that take offense to such language, especially used a lot.
05: Liquid time.Time is liquid on this site, which means that characters can be in multiple roleplays at a time. There is no limit on the amount of boards that you can have, but try to limit yourself so that you don't get too overwhelmed with replies.
06: Tokens."Tokens" are known as the currency of the site. For each post that you make, you will receive one token, which can be spent for many rewards, such as teaching pok?mon new moves and buying evolutionary stones. Tokens will also be given out as prizes for contests and other site-wide events.
07: Terms of Service.Because this is a proboards forum, we require that all roleplays be appropriate and PG-13. Proboards Terms of Service must be followed – it is the rules of hosting on proboards.
