Dear Lair of Skynet Members,
Because of some recent problems and quarrels among members I have to make some new rules. Below the rules are the reasons why I made them. If, after reading this thread, you have any questions please PM me.
New Rules:
1. If you want to start a business selling humans in the RPG Community, you have to put a disclaimer next to the title of your business reading, [Not Real].
The reason for this is that we have members who are very much concerned with the welfare of children. I'm not going to name anyone, but I want everyone to know that it's not me. But there are members here who feel the need to be "concerned" and I don't think we should ridicule another person's opinions, so I'm making this rule.
What the "[Not Real]" disclaimer means is that this is only a part of the game and has nothing to do with the real world, similar to the way some members (Myself included) sometimes put notes at the bottom of their posts reading, "This post was not meant in any environmentalist or environmentalist supportive way".
Optimus, by the time you read this, I'll have fixed yours for you, although I recommend selling pterrodactyls more than humans.
2. Don't judge people's multiple characters because of something another character did.
Sometimes, someone will have different characters intended for different purposes and the characters do different things. For example, Terminator and Kei-Lin are two relatively different characters. If I write "Terminator comes in the Battle Arena and pours oil all over the floor", it does NOT mean, "Terminator and Kei-Lin come in the Battle Arena and pour oil all over the floor". So don't judge one character by another's actions
3. If someone has double accounts for their characters, this does NOT mean they're breaking a rule.
People are allowed to have a different account for each character, as long as they don't use the accounts to spam, disagree with other members, or vote twice in a poll.
4. Íf you want to start a thread in which fighting actual players is allowed, it has to be a "Versus" or "Challenges" thread. Otherwise, it's a teamwork thread.
Meaning that if, for example, Optimus wants to fight someone in a thread, he could put in "Optimus Versus -----??" as the name of the thread and wait for a challenger. If he wants to challenge someone, he can write something like, "Optimus Challenges Darkfire". If the thread has a title such as "Total Carnage" or "Destiny Awaits", we assume it's a teamwork thread in which players will work together to kill off uncontrolled characters.
5. Please post a descrpitive prologue to your RPG threads!
Lately we've been having alot of people who start a thread without posting a statement, which makes it hard to fully understand the plot or the point of the thread. Whether it's a Versus/Challenges thread or a Teamwork thread, you have to post a statement.
Below are some reccomendations for what certain members should do to improve their roleplaying abilities:[/color][/b][/size]
Optimus and Megatron should stop stepping on people;
Darkfire should make a list of his weapons and stick to that list permanently;
Robocop should let me handle his problems with the Members/Moderators instead of retaliating;
Eet should, in the future, post descriptions in her threads. She should also make a thorough list of all of her advanced mental powers so as not to confuse members.
Thanks,

This has now taken effect. We're starting over from the beginning, as friends. That means, Darkfire and Eet should make an effort to get along with Robocop/Optimus and vice versa.
