Read and Obey the Forum Rules
The W.A.R. Forum Rules and FAQ applies to everyone posting in any board or forum, this one included. Moderators have the authority to enforce these rules and will take direct action against violators. Rule violations should be reported to the Moderator for appropriate action.

No One Line Replies
This is not meant to annoy you but to give the other person something to work with. There is no official post length requirement other then this. The exact length of your post during a roleplay is up to those who are taking part. Specifically the person who created the thread.

Stay In Character
If you have a question or disagreement with the participants of a your roleplay then post a comment in the OOC category. Don't add out of character comments to an in game thread. Remember every time you do the admins/moderators have to take the time to delete them all.

Romance
When it comes to gameplay, romance is encouraged. As it adds a unique dynamic to the roleplay. However try to keep the certain aspects of romance in the bedroom and out of the roleplay itself. We don't want in depth detail about how two lovers spent the night together.

Non Player Characters
All non-player characters, specifically mortals and background Demons & Angels) in any roleplay will be under the control of the person who first introduced them into the roleplay, as well as anyone they specifically give permission to control them.

Originality
Be original when adding content to the forum. This also means only using the accepted cannons & cannon races. Stereotypes are fine but don't use that as an excuse to make a parallel of something someone else has already made.

Characters & Cannons
Members are aloud to have as many characters as they can handle. However, each character must have their own separate account. This is not to annoy you but so staff can easily keep track of each character. In addition to this, you may a max of three cannons, each of a different group. The cannons list will grow over time as more members join and the lore of the world develops.
