There are quite a few rules for you to remember or else we wouldn't be quite so intimidating, now would we? Follow them or face the consequences!! <insert diabolical laughter here> On another note, while it sounds like this RP is placed in medieval times, it's not. There are no airplanes, but there are toilets, guns, skyscrapers [you gotta find them], and etc. That being said... READ THE RULES!!
1. This is a literate role-play so there will be absolutely NO chatspeak such as "LOL" or "LMAO" so please save the vowels; they want to be seen. I want to see "Little Red Riding Hood skipped along the trail, picking flowers as she went", not "Lil Rd Rdng Hd skpd alng da tral, pckng flwrs, lol." Ouch, that was hard. So don't type like that. You'll get a warning every time we catch you [and believe me, we will].
2. Use punctuation and capitalization please; it's extremely frustrating when you can't tell one sentence from another and the paragraphs are nonexistent.
To-Be-Followed-Example: Once upon a time, there was a little boy who loved to eat carrots. Every day he would go down the road to the farm to pick carrots for his breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He would have carrot salad for appetizer, carrot quiche for the main course, and carrot cake for dessert.
One day, there were no more carrots in the farm!! The little boy was sad, so he died. THE END
Not-To-Be-Followed-Example-That-Will-Get-You-Killed: once upon a time there was a little boy who loved to eat carrots every day he would go down the road to the farm to pick carrots for his breakfast lunch and dinner he would have carrot salad for appetizer carrot quiche for the main course and carrot cake for dessert
one day there were no more carrots in the farm the little boy was sad so he died THE END
I realize that the comma placement and semicolons might be a bit confusing; I'm not looking for perfection, but at least use your common sense [I'm pretty sure you have one] and use them as you know how. And of course you could always ask Kinoko as I don't get the semi-colons (Wolfie: damn semi-colons, whoever made them up... I hope they suffered when they died! >.>). If your post is missing basic capitalization or punctuation, you'll get a warning.
3. Each of your role-play posts have to be at least fifty words. Before you start panicking however, allow me to tell you that fifty words sounds like a lot, but it really isn't believe me. Look below:

That was more than fifty words. It's easy, trust me. Unfortunately, having less than fifty words gets you a warning. There's a word-counter that the lovely co-admin Hanshou installed for us at the bottom. Use it. It's there for a reason.
4. On another note, we also have a spell check built into the proboard so please check your spelling. If you're not sure, put SP in parentheses like that: [SP]. Please try to check your posts so typos are corrected as the spell check isn't always reliable. For every five unidentified typos or errors, you get a warning. Luckily for you, we count down.
5. When you're not speaking in the RP, please use some form of distinction to let people know that what you're saying isn't part of the RP, preferrably in the form of "OOC", ok? But if you forget, that's one minor warning.
If you receive five warnings you will get a three day suspension. No exceptions, and I don't give a crap if you're the crown prince of Thailand: CONSIDER YOURSELF SUSPENDED. After the third suspension and five more warnings, you're gone for good, which means we've given you twenty opportunities to screw up. How generous of us!! DON'T take them.
