Welcome to Tribal Unity. Below is an overview of our rules and guidelines. Please be sure to read them over. Some might sound a little strict, but I assure you they are only there to tell you what our community is about. We welcome everybody who's willing to become a member of this community, and the rules are just a basis of our community. And well, we aren't mean nor power hungry. We as staff are here to help out you, to guide you through this RPG, answer any questions and of course most important, to roleplay and talk to you and make you feel welcome!

Now onto the most dreaded rules

4.::. RolePlaying & Posting .::.

• 4.1 Characters can't be 100% flawless, also there will no God-Moding taking place.
• 4.2 Powerplaying is forbidden. This means you cannot play the actions or speech of any other character, but your own character. We will be nice and simply ask you to change your post if you do so.
• 4.3 Please no one liners, give your fellow RP’er something to work with!
• 4.4 I'm not going to give any word counts, but it's preferred that you write around 2 paragraphs, more is always welcome ^^. Please use paragraphs so its easier to read your posts. We prefer quality over quantity.
• 4.5 We post in third person in RP, so no first person, thanks.
• 4.6 Do not type posts with Caps Lock on, this is also really appreciated in the ooc boards and do not use Glow or to brightly colored text.
• 4.7 The Edit Button is your friend, do not double post in RP or OOC
• 4.8 Please use proper grammar, spelling and punctuation. Of course we understand that not everyone's first language is English. But it's hard to RolePlay if you can't understand what you have typed. (this also counts in OOC boards). But understand we love to help out people who’s first language isn’t English, hell, English is for me my third language! If you do your best, that’s all we ask!
• 4.9 Do not take Authority into your own hands. Leave any mishaps for the admins and mods to handle.
• 4.10 Concerning Inactive/not finished profiles. Profiles that haven't been finished within 5 days of posting, or haven't been replied in after 5 days of a staff member posting in an application, it will be moved to a forum that is not viewable to members. If your application is gone, but you'd like to finish it, please pm 'ShinLi' or another staff member and it will be moved back to the Character Application forum.

I hope I wasn't too hard in this, but if you follow these rules and guidelines, you will have no trouble with us . And most important of all, the rules will maintain our community as we know it now. Friendly and welcoming to new members. Do not hesitate to ask questions or pm a staff member/post in the help center if you have any suggestions for the RPG. We’re here for you, not the other way around .
