Rule 1
Respect each other. This is meant to be a fun community. We aren't all perfect, but if someone is overly negative/rude or just overall toxic - they will be removed from this community. This is a game above all else.~
Rule 2
Respect Staff. They put a lot of work into making this game possible. And you will not always like their decisions (no matter what site you play on). If a member is proven to be overly disrespectful - they will be removed from the site. That bridge goes both ways however. Staff must respect the members as well. If there is a complaint about Staff then you can message me, The Webmaster, and I will review the situation. If a Staff Member is abusive towards members - they will be removed from Staff (and possibly the site pending on circumstances in play).
Rule 3
No godmodding (aka making your character do something outside of their limits, or trying to control another person's character). No one is invincible (well except Tenshi, but this is why he's a dormant Plot NPC).
Rule 4
No metagaming. If you don't have the appropriate knowledge stat or IC experience to know about something ICly... don't do it. THIS INCLUDES entering topics you have no reasonable reason for joining. "I just happened to walk by" is not a valid excuse here.
Rule 5
No Plagiarism. Don't steal works from other sources. Don't use writing from other sites and pass it off as writing here (even if it is your own). First offense will result in a thread being voided. Second offense will result in a thread being voided, a penalty to EXP, and possibly even a two day ban. Third offense will result in a ban (whether permanent or simply longer than 2 days will be case by case basis).
Rule 6
This is a PG-13 site. Do not RP smut (sex), rape, or excessive gore here. In the case of the latter two you can make subtle allusions to these concepts, but ask us before that. These are serious concepts and if you make light of them in your character development, then you may not belong here. In the case of the former (smut) well... It's not allowed to be RP'd HERE on the site (or in our Discord). That's all I'm going to say.
Rule 7
No discrimination. Try not to be offensive to other cultures, sexualities, political affiliations, and differences here. We are all nerds trying to enjoy a good ole round of Naruto RP. Let's keep it that way and leave all that other bullshit for the real world.
Rule 8
No harassment. This is important. Do not badger people to post (it does not help motivation, TRUST ME!) If someone tells you to remind them that's another story, but unless that is made clear by them do not harass. You can send a reminder after 3 days if you've received no notice from them, but make sure to check the absence forum before doing so. It's possible they posted an absence and you just didn't see it. Breaking this rule will result in a warning for first offense, a penalty to EXP Gains in second offense, and a two day ban for third offense. Just don't do it. It's simple.
Rule 9
Watch your language! No I don't mean cursing (though do try to not be excessive about that). I have a sailor's mouth so it'd be pretty hypocritical to criticize or condemn someone for using bad language. But keep your language here English. I'm aware there are many cultures in the world, but this game is meant for an English-reading audience. You can use weeb Japanese terms for your dialogue and stuff to immerse yourself in the world if you wish, but the vast majority of your writing should be English.
Rule 10
Loopholes. Every system has flaws. I get that. But do try not to push that button. It makes the game worse for the rest of us, and then I'll have to get involved, and that's just no fun for no one. If you have too many instances of "loopholing" or "gamebreaking" you will be banned.
Rule 11
Trackers are important. Please keep your profile up to date. Although enemy players should not be depending on that knowledge to coordinate their own ICly (as that falls under metagaming), it does help to know how a jutsu works if it used against them in a topic so they can properly respond as their character would, and to know how strong your character is.
Rule 12
Canon characters exist on Naruto Genesis, but they are so long dead that they are but Legends. You cannot RP a canon character. You cannot RP a canon character's son or grandson. The bloodline has diluted so much at this point that no one is a direct descendant anymore. You can take certain surnames, and allude to the fact that you "might" be related to them (if that really floats your boat). You also cannot know too much about the canon story, only the biggest world changing events of Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. (I.e Naruto and Sasuke at the Final Valley at the End of Shippuden, The Great Shinobi Wars, The Leaf Destruction Attack, the Tanzaku Town fight). Just think of a history class and what was taught to you in high school. That's about the extent of what you should know ICly.
Rule 13
When entering any topic in which combat is taking place, everything is locked. You cannot use Jutsu/Skills/Elements/or Stats that you obtain AFTER you've entered a fight, as that is cheating. To avoid being called out on this, it's recommended that you list your current stats/elements/skills to make things easy on yourself. Jutsu would be a bit long/tedious, but don't think that other players won't notice if you try to cheat them~.
Rule 14
When in a battle there is no hard-cap on the number of actions you can take. HOWEVER you MUST make sure your post makes sense. Too many actions and a few of them might not even get to happen, as your opponent may not respond the way you planned (thereby negating your timeline). The less actions you commit the more fluid the combat becomes and the more likely nothing you write is wasted.
Staff has the final say on what is or isn't acceptable (should a conflict happen and no resolution is reached between the players). Arguing with a Staff Ruling is not allowed.
Rule 15
Worship the Head Admin. Try to have fun!
No godmodding (aka making your character do something outside of their limits, or trying to control another person's character). No one is invincible (well except Tenshi, but this is why he's a dormant Plot NPC).
