The Rules
• Read the lore. Seriously, it’s not a lot. And it will be easier for you to understand what’s going on. Sure it’s modern times, but at the same time it’s not good for you to jump into something when one is so oblivious to the premise of these forums.
• Be respectful. Plain and simple, don’t be a dick to members and especially staff. If you’re rude to them, you will be banned for a few days, unless I see a public apology, as I don’t bode well with disrespect, especially when it’s to those trying to make this forum a more entertaining place to RP.
• Multiple accounts are ok. Though, please don’t make fifty, and then only use one.
• Post requirement of 150 words. It’s not a lot, and I’m going to enforce that. I don’t accept small sentences, and It’s not like I’m asking you to write much more than what you already do. Some of you write a lot more than this, so it should be easy. This rule is non-negotiable for me, and I will send Pms out if I see slacking. I can understand bad days, but I can also see patterns.
• No Mary Sues, they’re no fun, kiddies.
• No copyright infringement on names, pictures, etc. (If you’re using drawn pictures, try Deviant Art, as they’re majority more friendlier about their work being used.)
See ? Not a lot, now abide by then or I’ll scalp you..
Smooches!

No need to be scared! We don't bite... or at least not too much! 
"Mary-Sue" are characters without their own personality. Usually they are just self-insertions of their authors, and they serve no purpose other than annoy the readers. Typically they are strong, beautiful, tough, intelligent, without defects, and they save the day getting all the girls.
You can find a better explaination here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary-sue

Ha what Giorgia said! Very good explanation! They basically hero fantasies writers have about themselves and simply super impose them on their character, without any defects.
