Basic rules of the forum. I wield the banhammer in case of violations of these rules.
Rule 1: Be Nice
Simple. Don't be a dickmunch. No one likes a dickmunch.
To put that in more clear terms, just be nice. If someone else is being whiny or jerky, be the bigger man and don't give in to anger.Anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering, suffering leads to the Dark Side. Seriously, though, just be the bigger man. If someone is being a douche, PM a mod, or use the "Report Post" function.
Rule 2: Language/Grammar
Write so people can understand you. Write in the third person, and use semi-correct grammar. There's no word-count, so there isn't a need to be all flowery and shit, but write so people know what you're trying to get across.
A personal note, please don't call people out on obscene language when its in a in-game post, because I will ignore that comment. I will pay attention to obscene language if it's something like a racial slur in an out-of-character post.
Rule 3: Do It Right
Don't godmod. Just... don't.
For the unenlightened among us, godmodding is the practice of playing another character that isn't yours. This applies to NPCs as well. If you want to write in actions for an NPC and you weren't given express permission, ask the person who was playing it earlier.
Rule 4: Characters
You can have more than one character, but you have to get 30 posts and participate in at least 1 thread on your previous character.
Rule 5: No expies
Please, please, PLEASE, don't make a character that is essentially your favorite character from your favorite fandom. Feel free to use someone like Matt Smith, but for the love of every god, don't make him only different from the Doctor in name.
Rule 6: Keep it Fair
In essence, no Mary Sues/Gary Stus. Don't make someone who is disproportionately perfect at EVERYTHING.
Rule 7: Absences/Leaving
If you are leaving or will be unable to play for a while, let us know. If you'll be merely absent, we'll keep your characters. If you're legit leaving, arrange what will happen to your characters. If you don't, we reserve the right to kill them off in the most hilarious/painful way we can think of.
Rule 8: Listen to the Mods
We're the mods. Listen to us. *brandishes banhammer*.
Rule 9: Have Fun
The most important rule; HAVE FUN.

- Addendum A: Auto-Hitting
Don't autohit, for purposes of a fair fight. Unless you have a prior arrangement with the other player, in which case, auto-hit away.
Rule 4: Characters
You can have more than one character, but you have to get 30 posts and participate in at least 1 thread on your previous character.
- Addendum A: Variation
Don't just make Jaeger pilots. Mix it up. We need Marshalls, tech officers, civilians, etc. Also, only up to 4 Jaegers per player. I don't want Jaegers just all over the goddamn place. - Addendum B: Pilots
If you are making a Jaeger that is not a solo, you will need to make 2 characters. Make it plausible that they're drift compatible.
Rule 5: No expies
