I was always curious how Blade's near immortality via nanites slipped in since in my opinion that ability made Blade near unbeatable since in the long run he'd just heal from pretty much anything.
And since the rules page link has failed, although the file is still there, if anyone doesn't want to bother going to that group and viewing the rules under the files listing here they are with only minor spelling and grammatical updates:
*You will NOT argue with the GM's final decision!
If you argue, you will be removed.
If you threaten this list, you will be banned and reported.
The GM's decisions are FINAL!
*All New Members Require Approval to Post
Not a rule so much as a heads up.
Too many creeps will join a list purely for the purpose of spamming it with offensive links or junk posts.
By restricting posting, we can prevent our members from having to see that.
Likewise, members who haven't learned how the RP works yet tend to make mistakes that can disrupt the storyline.
If you find yourself unable to post without permission, please understand that ALL newcomers are moderated. It is in no way a personal attack.
*You are joining as a MEMBER!
Please enter this RP in a polite and respectful fashion. Members who try to oust the GM or moderators, or harrass other members will be warned and in extreme cases, banned.
If you don't like the way this RP is run, then please ask someone to recommend a group that might be more to your liking.
* The following are NOT allowed -
-Clones (I don't care if they're clones of existing characters or of someone's fan character, no clones!)
-Relatives (No, you may NOT be Sonic's long lost cousin's sister in law's long lost grandmother's godfather! NO relatives!)
-Look alikes (If art of your character looks like a recolored existing character, then you have a lookalike, and that will NOT be allowed. It's not that hard to come up with something original)
If it looks like a character from the game, and it sounds like a character from the game, and it acts like a character from the game, it's a pineapple. I mean, lookalike.
*Your character can NOT be undefeatable. If they can't be hurt by bullets or stunguns, they don't belong here. (unless they're a robot)
*NO Crossovers
This is a Sonic RP, and will contain ONLY Sonic characters.
No Ulala, Samba, NiGHTS, Mario, Dracula, etc.
You can make subtle references to them, but they won't physically manifest.
Remember, a furry does NOT a Sonic Character make.
* NO superpowers
(Now this rule has gotten me a LOT of whining and griping in the past, mainly because very few people actually want to RP Sonic. They just want to play "My character's cooler than yours."
I'm keeping this rule, sorry. But I MAY let some things slip. Minor psychic powers or cybernetics MAY be allowed. But only if you research it and can make it believable. If you don't like this, then please refer to the first rule!)
No characters should have supernatural abilities. Sonic's speed, Tails' flight and double tails, and Knuckles' gliding and knuckles are unique. There will be no more characters with unusual features in this RP. Shadow is a special case and one of a kind.
*You May NOT Play any characters but your own.
Self explanatory.
Swifty the Hedgehog can aim a punch at Fluffy the Cat. But Swifty may NOT actually hit Fluffy without Fluffy's player's OK.
And Swifty beating Fluffy to a bloody pulp or killing Fluffy on a whim without Fluffy's player's permission will result in a warning and possible removal.
* Please try to Post Once a week.
Nobody will come after you if you can't post every day, but please try to post at least once a week, especially if you play a main character or are involved in a thread with someone else.
* NO RPing Until You're Approved
(Please send in a character sheet. If you want to play an existing character, then just write a short scene as that character to prove that you know how to play them - the sheet to fill out is under Files)
If you ignore this rule, you will be halted.
*Main Character Players MUST Be Active!
The RP grinds to a screeching halt when a main character goes silent for extended periods of time. If you are going to play a main character or even be considered for one, you MUST be set up to receive e-mails from this list.
If you are worried about clutter, you can sign up for the daily digest. Main character players who do not post for months on end, or set their account to no e-mail will have their characters taken away.
If you lose your role because of this rule, DO NOT GRIPE about it. You can work to get the part back by proving that you can be an active contributor to this roleplay.
**NOTE: This does NOT apply to people who need to take a leave of absence. PROVIDED that they warn the GM or a Moderator beforehand.
*NO foul language or adult situations.
(We will have kids joining this RP, and I don't want them being upset because some potty mouths can't censor themselves.
Likewise, there will be NO hentai here! Yes you can get romantic, but if it goes beyond kissing and hugging, then you MUST censor yourself by removing your characters! In other words, GET A ROOM!)
*Not ALL Characters are playable
Some characters, like Robotnik and other powerful baddies will NOT be playable by any one person.
They are considered NPCs (Non played characters)and will either be shared by the group as a whole, or controlled only by the GM or moderators.
* Please don't hold grudges.
(If you are frustrated with someone and keeping it bottled up, that's bound to cause trouble. Please share your peeves with the GM or a mod)
If you badmouth people behind their backs or post a hateful message, you will be warned and the offensive material will be deleted. Extreme cases of member attacks will result in banning.
*The Rules Apply to EVERYONE
I don't care if we've been best friends for years, all new members must fill out the same forms and obey the same rules. I do not play favorites. It doesn't mean I don't still love you, it's only fair. I'll lift the posting moderation for people who I trust to not spam the list, that's all.
