These rules are subject to change at any time:
Participation on this site is conditional that you agree to follow these Natural laws. Failure to abide by them can result in punishments to be determined by the Whills depending on the severity of the infraction.
1. We encourage users to resolve their conflicts in a respectful manner. If, however, you cannot reach an agreement you may Consult the Whills to help you reach a decision.
2: There is to be no OOC bullying, name calling, or harassment of any type. Malicious discrimination based on race, gender, ethnic orgin, sexuality, religious beliefs, or political beliefs will not be tolerated. If you think something crosses the line, do not type it. This rule is enforced across all sections of the forum boards.
3. You are here to role play, not to troll topics. If you intend to insult someone or to instigate an argument, do not post. A degree of common courtesy and respect for your fellow players is expected.
4. Many of the people who use this forum are minors and for that reason we ask that you be aware of the age appropriateness of your comments. The use of profanity is also subject to the same jurisdiction and intention of Rule 2, which prohibits the use of offensive language to bully, harass, personally insult or discriminate against other writers.
5. The setting for this RPG is the Extended Universe (EU), also known as Legends canon. Try to keep as close to this canon as possible. If it is not canon, base it on EU science; if its not based on EU science, base it on canon. If it is neither, it is best to avoid it. Jedi vs Sith has no precise or established date, however, the JvS Universe is set in the Legacy era (c. 50-150 ABY). This era is not exact, but only a guideline to set expectations when interacting with other characters. See the Beginners' Guide for more information on applying this rule to your RP.
6. Impersonating or otherwise representing the actions of other players without their consent is forbidden. All posted actions done under such pretense are to be ignored by the general public and reported by the victim player.
7. Your character must be your own creation. Existing canon characters may be referred to indirectly but their identities may not be assumed by any player. It is alright to use the name of a canon character as long as you make clear to people that you are a different character with the same name.
8. The planets and other locations must retain their canonical integrity, drastically altering a planet such that it bears no resemblance to canon is forbidden.
9. RPing that does not take place/cannot be traced in the Universe 1.5 does not constitute 'canon' RP, with the exception of that which took place in Universe 1.0. Acquisitions, transactions, even character knowledge: all of these need to be backed by IC RP on boards in this Universe. RP in chatrooms can also not be traced so does not count as having 'happened'. This is an inclusive RP, and so there is no need for Facebook RPing, especially given private locations.
10. Impersonating a Whill or a Celestial is also against the rules, the account in question will be removed and appropriate action will be taken.
11. Mass PMing for the purposes of spam, insults, bad humor and the like is strictly forbidden. Penalties for abusing the mass PM system will result in removal of mass PMing privileges at the least, and possibly even banning depending on the nature of the contents.
12. The ability to post images is a privilege, not a right, and the posting of inappropriate or distasteful images is forbidden. We ask that you respect the feelings of the community when posting images. Inappropriate subject matter includes (but is not necessarily limited to) depictions of pornography, nudity, racism, sexism, homophobia, self-harm, or any other lewd, offensive, excessively graphic, or derogatory theme, including anything used to bully or embarrass another member of the site. Images or links to images deemed to be inappropriate may be removed, at the sole discretion of the Whills. Please remember that what may not seem offensive to you could offend others. If you are in any doubt, consult a Councilor or a Whill before posting, or just don't post it.
13. Your fellow Role Players and Moderators will be treated with respect. Infraction reports will be filed in a respectful manner without ooc bantering in the report. If you have a problem with a rule or another player you have the right to complain about it respectfully. Complaints filed in a blatantly disrespectful manner will be ignored by the Whills. Continual failure to abide by this policy will result in punishment to be determined by the Whills depending on the severity of the infraction. (A blatantly disrespectful manner shall be defined as; vulgarity, name calling and anything that falls under that category).
14. Any punishments allotted by the Whills for violations of these rules will be done so at their discretion and will reflect the severity of the offense. This can range from verbal/profile warning to permanent banning from our Discord chat channel and/or the site.
Further details on specifics (e.g. fleet sizes and troop allowances) can be found in the Traveler's Guide section on Rules and Regulations.
