general rules
1. Be kind and respectful of all members. We're all human and we all make mistakes.
2. Do not argue with the admin. Decisions made are final. However, if you feel a decision was unfair, please feel free to PM an admin for further discussion.
3. Your face claim must be a live person. We do not allow anime or cosplay characters, nor do we allow those who have been asked not to be used. In general we leave it to the players digression as far as if you feel the face matches the age that you have chosen for them. If you aren't sure then a good rule of thumb is 7 years +/- the real age of the claim. If the admin feels that the face claim can not pass for the age we will either ask you choose another face or change the age.
4. We do not condone bullying of any kind. The Mutineers are Coming is LGBTQ+ friendly and welcome characters from that background as well. Bullying based on this status will not be tolerated and will result in an instant ban if any accusations are found to be proven true.
5. Please do not pressure people for posts. If you have been waiting two weeks or longer, you may politely remind/inquire the other writer about the post.
6. While we encourage members to handle any disputes between themselves, if you have any problems that you cannot resolve, or feel uncomfortable speaking with the other member about them, please do not hesitate to contact Bellezbub or Tinman. All complaints will be investigated and dealt with accordingly. Your complaints will remain confidential.
7. Seriously, the staff is here to help you and make this experience enjoyable for you. So if there's ANYTHING we can do, just let us know.
8. If you begin your application with a WIP (work-in-progress), please post in that thread when you're finished so that the admins know to look it over.
9. If an application is a WIP without any up date with in two weeks (as stated by the last edited time stamp on the post) it will be labeled in active and moved to the archives. You can have your application moved back by just asking the admins. This also applies to threads that are archived that you would like to continue!
10. TMAC operates on a three strike basis. After the third time of breaking the rules, you will be asked to leave.
posting rules
1. No god-modding, powerplaying or meta-gaming. Your character is not all powerful, cannot avoid every problem thrown at them, and does not know things simply because you know them. If we see this being done, you will receive a warning.
2. Any and all posts that include things that may be a trigger for other members, MUST be properly labelled either in the thread title or be the first line of the post, followed by no less than FIVE enters. Triggers are anything from eating disorders, to abuse, whether verbal, physical, or sexual (yes, rape is included). These warnings DO include homicide/suicide, so make sure you label properly, like so:
TRIGGER WARNING: (the trigger here)
3. We do not have a character limit, just make sure you can keep up with the characters you have. We will have an activity check every month to ensure that members are being active. We only require one post per month, but if you have more characters and are involved in more plots, we will ask for you to be more active. If you are unsure if you're active enough for the admins, feel free to send us a message to check in.
4.When making a new character what we would like is for your other character(s) to be established on site, this will include an increasing post count. If we feel that a majority of your other characters are not active enough, we will make the account pending until we see more activity in your existing characters. You need 'primrose' for the application.
5. We have a minimum word count of 250.
6. When posting, please use third person, past tense. This means, "He looked over at her and sat down." This does NOT mean "I look over at her and sit down."
7. If things start to get graphic, fade to black and take it off of site. We have a PG-13 rating as this is a public board, accessible by people of all ages.
graphics rules
1. Avatars/icons are set to be 150x150. You can add these like so: Profile > Edit Profile > Avatar
2. Signatures should be no wider than 500 pixels, or the board will stretch. Please try not to exceed 300 pixels in height.
3. Hover images should be 250x350.
4. No nudity. If the admins see it, they will remove it and you will receive a warning.
5. Please try to rehost all images to your own graphics site, such as tinypic, photobucket, or imgur. If you're unsure of how to do this, just ask and we'll be happy to help!
