This is one of the most important threads in the game. By creating an account and posting a character application, the staff members of Backwinded assume that you have read and agreed to both the Terms of Service of Forumotion and all the rules of the game provided.

Make sure that you read these rules, the Character Rules, Character Creation and the Orientation Guide. Also it is recommended that you post in the Introductions before creating your character so that you can develop both your character idea and get to know the community.

If you have questions, don’t be afraid to ask someone, we’re here to help.

    General Rules
    1. Respect each other. This is the most important rule of all and it will be handled very seriously. Out-of-character drama between members will not be tolerated. Offensive comments (involving racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, transphobia, etc) may result in an automatic permanent ban.
    Spoiler:
    2. Have fun. This is the second most important rule. The point of this game is to have fun through role-play and interaction with other players. Always feel free to make minor plots with other members, whether separate or stemming from the main plot.
    Spoiler:
    3. Backwinded allows mature subjects and content such as coarse language, violence, and sexual content given that it is either implied or not written in explicit detail in threads without labelling. We adhere to the RPG Rating of 2-2-2, for more information, go here: RPG Rating.
    Spoiler:
    4. For now, the policy here is one account per character. Hopefully in the future, we will have the option of enabling sub-accounts.
    5. In terms of graphics, icon size must be 100x100 and signature size must be no larger than 550x250.
    Spoiler:

    Activity Rules
    1. To keep our game Backwinded living and breathing, we need activity. We do not expect you to submit your soul to the site (but if you wish to, you certainly may), all that we ask is that you come on regularly to post in order to remain fair to those you are in plots and threads with. If your activity will be affected for an extended period of time (for more than one week), then you should post in the Absences board.
    2. If you are inactive for one month or more, all your characters will be deactivated and their profiles moved to “Inactive Characters”. They can be reactivated upon your return through private messaging a staff member. Depending on a character’s role in the game, they may be adopted. For more information, go here: Adoptions.

    Posting Rules
    1. No godmoding/power-playing and that’s final. It ruins the fun for other players. You or your character cannot control another player’s character’s thoughts, emotions, movements, speech, or reactions. Try and let the other character react first. If you feel that something should happen, then please discuss it with the other player first. There are few exceptions to this, such as characters moving from one location to another or any other actions discussed by both players.
    2. Here, we value proper spelling and grammar. A missing word or typo is alright; however, consistent errors in grammar and spelling can sometimes become hard to understand so please, take the time to use a spell checker and/or re-read your work.
    Spoiler:
    3. We allow liquid role-playing, so you are permitted to be in more than one thread at once. But remember time is important, if any post is made after a thread created prior to it, it happens afterwards unless specified otherwise or posted in the past board. This is because one action affects things that will occur in the future.
    Spoiler:
    4. We have no word limit! Try to make engaging and interesting posts, give the other poster(s) something to respond to. Sometimes shorter responses are better than longer ones such as during action scenes (during a duel, war, etc) or social gatherings. We don’t expect you to write lengthy posts, but we do encourage that you down play the number of one-liners. Either way, it all adds up the same in the end.
    5. There is specific no posting order in group threads on here. Just make sure to be respectful to other players and do not leave anyone far behind. If players feel that there should be a posting order in their thread, they can work it out with each other.
    6. Sometimes one-on-one threads can get a little boring, we encourage group threads and that most threads should be open! We want to be friendly and open to everyone, not just our friends.

    Also always include the status of your thread in the title.
    Spoiler:
    Extraneous Rules
    1. Shameless advertising is prohibited. The only place where advertisements are permitted is the advertising board. If you are caught advertising through private messages, your ability to PM will be disabled.
