RULES:
The following are the rules for The Walking Pokemon Roleplay.
General:
The RP is in English.
Swearing is allowed.
If your signature is bigger than your posts, it’s too big.
Respect your fellow players.
Registration:
You are only allowed to have 1 account per person.
Please keep user names G rated, If you have an inappropriate username the crew will change it.
Your username can be changed if you ask an admin to change it for you.
You will have a default title to a start. It can be changed by asking a crew member.
Timeline:
The users are not supposed to follow a specific timeline, except the one the crew has in place.
Each location is at the same point in time as the others.
An "announcement" on the top of the board, will tell how far in the current game we are.
Creating New Characters:
For playing the RP, you have to create a character.
A template for new characters can be seen in the topic “Create a Character”.
You are not allowed to play a character from Pokemon
You may have more than one character per user with special permission from the Crew.

When starting a new situation (Creating a topic) you are supposed to write time and destination in the top, and at least 3 lines introducing the situation.
Sex and extensive nudity are allowed
You can only be one place at a time.
24 hours to post when ABC is in effect. this means you have 24 hours to post after the last person or your post gets skipped.
ABC can be enforced in events.
Users may not harass other users to post if it is their turn to post in a topic.
There will be events that could change the story completely.
Users can not start episodes, but are free to suggest them.
God-moding will not be tolerated.
ABC Order:
When posting, it's considered RP etiquette to follow the posting order. It's not a hard-and-fast rule, but it's much more polite and prevents a lot of confusion, as well as making sure nobody's in the middle of a post when someone else posts out of order and makes that person's work pointless.
Try to keep threads looking like this:
Person A posts
Person B
Person C
Person A
Person B
Person C
Conversation Clause: The one exception to the aforementioned rule comes into play when two characters are in an established conversation. Please do not interrupt a conversation between characters unless it is approved by said characters' player.
Warnings & Bans:
If a rule is broken, the user will receive a warning.
If a user has 3 warnings they will receive a temp ban of 2 weeks.
If a user receives another warning after 3 they will receive a permanent ban.
Arguing against a warning or a temp ban will result in a warning.
There is no time limitation on warnings, you can't just behave for a while to get a warning to go away.
