General
•Do not share your password with anyone.
• Multiple accounts are allowed, but only with an Admins permission, only up to three accounts are allowed. Gods are allowed, but only one, as your THIRD, and it must be approved by mua.
•Text speak such as "omg" or "lol" is not permitted in role-play posts, because it distracts from the feel of the post, but it is acceptable in out of character posts. Shortening words such as using "u" for "you" or "r" for "are" is not tolerated in any posts.
•Don't argue with staff members when things don't go your way. They are simply doing their job, and they should not be attacked for it. Any complaints can be PMed to the Admin.
•As a whole, the site has a PG rating. Make sure that you stick closely to this, since we want the site to appeal to all ages. However, we do allow select role-play threads to be marked PG-13. If you aren't sure whether something is appropriate or not, it probably isn't. Send a message to a staff member if you have any questions.
•No hacking, whether it is into someone's account, or into the forum itself. This should be pretty self-explanatory, and we take it very seriously. Your account will be terminated if you are found to have hacked.

Out of Character Conduct
•All out of character posts should be at least five words, to avoid spam. Make sure that all your posts contribute to the conversation, as well.
•When in a role-play only forum, keep out of character comments to a minimum. Posting to say "I'll reply in a minute" is completely unnecessary, and most out of character posts in a role-play forum would be better suited for private message. If you absolutely have to say something, put it in double parenthesis, like ((this)).
•Under no circumstances should you attack or bully another member or staff member. This includes any kind of prejudice. Any instances of this should be reported immediately.
•Try not to hold grudges against people for things they have done in the past on this site or others.
•All out of character posts must stick to the site's PG rating, unless it is started otherwise in the title


Registering
•Do not reference another character in your application unless you have permission from the person who plays that character.
•Don't make your character too similar to a canon character. We like to see more unique characters as opposed to "Elmo Overwood", a satyr who loves to eat tin cans and who's life's dream is to find Pan.
•Do not make your character a Mary Sue or Gary Stu. This can be difficult for a Half-Blood, but not impossible. Stuff like "He suddenly summoned a hundred fireballs" Will not be permited, no demi-god is that skilled when they are first claimed, it takes time and energy to be able to do stuff like that.


Role-Playing
•Role-plays that are not clearly marked as PG-13 must stick to the PG rating. If you are unsure where your role-play would fall, contact a staff member or just mark it as PG-13 to be safe.
•Try to match the length of the person you're role-playing with. It can be very annoying to type up a lengthy post, and be given back a few lines.
•Only role-play as your own character. Do not puppet others.
• If you have more than one account you can not RP with both you're charries in the same thread, this is to minimize any confusion, and spamming to gain more posts.
•Stick to canon situations, meaning stick to situations that are realistic for the universe that Rick Riordan has created. This is an extremely important rule, seeing as this is a strictly canon site. One of the in character rules that people commonly forget about is the "no leaving camp without permission" rule.If you have any questions about what is canon and what isn't contact a staff member.
•Do not take control of a character who isn't yours.t can be very frustrating to have your character controlled by someone else. It could be something as simple as saying "Barbie had been missing for days and Ken was worried about her." While it may be safe to assume that Ken would be worried if Barbie disappeared, don't make any assumptions about someone else's character.
•Give other people a chance to respond. This especially applies during sword fights or duels in general. If your character is Joe, you cannot say "Joe struck his opponent on the head with his sword, and he fell to the floor, dead." Instead, say "Joe raised his sword and swung it towards his opponent's head." This gives the opponent the chance to say "The opponent blocked Joe's hit with his own sword."
•Don't make your character excessively powerful. Someone who was just claimed by Poseidon wouldn't suddenly be able to control large amounts of water immediately.
•Absolutely do not kill anyone else's character unless you have their permission.
•Try to make sure you use good spelling and grammar. We know that nobody's perfect, but do the best you can. Try typing your role-plays into Microsoft Word or a similar program to check your spelling.
