Alright, this board has rules of its own other than the regular rules in the general part of the board. Don't sass me or mods about the rules and you won't end up in the dungeon, savvy? 
Fanfics themselves can be posted here ONLY if you wrote them. The links to where a work is found can be posted if someone else wrote them, and you MUST post that it is not your own work. (Hey, if you worked hard on something, I'm sure you'd like credit as well.) Seems fair, don't you think?
If you are doing an RPG/Role Play elsewhere about villains and would like to post the link, you are more than welcome to do so. Please note whether it is suitable for all ages or not next to the link, however, as I do not know the ages of the viewers to my board and do not wish to be held responsible for any trauma induced by reading something so unsettling. (Blah blah blah, this is where I can prove it's not MY FAULT ok?)
If you are doing an RPG/Role Play HERE it must go through THIS channel in order to get off the ground, and again---please don't complain; I have given this a lot of thought before putting this into effect:
*Submit your idea by posting it with the "lamp" message icon and myself (and perhaps a mod) will look it over. The idea must include the premise of the RPG, how many characters you'll need, which characters, and how many each person can play maximum. (Out of respect for others, and knowing how rpgs work in most cases, the MOST a single person can play in ANY rpg is 4 characters...this not only saves room for more people to enter the role play and have fun, but it saves those already involved from mixing up characters. Call this the "Board Max" number of characters.)
~~Once an idea is given the green light to go ahead, it then has one week in which to get 3 people to agree to role play, including the person who had the idea. If people do not respond in time or not enough people agree to role play, the idea is erased from the board and may be submitted again in 2 weeks time, or else a new idea may be submitted whenever it appears.
~~If the idea is not approved, I will personally state why, and suggest an alternative idea that is similar, or suggest that you re-word the idea in a more RPG-able style. It is my promise to work with you if there is a possible RPG idea within your suggestion.
THE BLANKET RULES these apply to EVERY role play unless overruled by admin or mod:[/size]
***NO POWERGRABBING...unless it's tastefully done IN CHARACTER and WITHIN THE LIMITS OF A CHARACTER'S TRAITS.
(example: Scar cannot get on his hind legs and beat the poop out of Hades to take his throne away...that is both physically and hypothetically impossible and WILL be overruled, but Silver can take over Captain Hook's ship by brute force.)
***No acting FOR anyone else unless it's something that involves everyone.
(example: "Gaston threw a bomb into the Cathedral where it exploded, raining tear gas in Frollo's eyes and shaking the walls slightly." that works, whereas the following does NOT... "Frollo threw Gaston into the river where he swallowed so much water that he drowned and died.") Confused? Ask me.
***NO WHINING! If your character dies some way, or gets cornered---take it like a villain! Find a way out or deal with the consequences of your actions! Anyone saying "That's not fair!" will be greeted with a quote from a villain about life not being fair.
***HAVE FUN! If you're not having fun, the role play might get shut down This is a test to see how well people handle role plays on the villain's board. If it doesn't work, the board goes bye bye.[/color]
As I said before, there might be overrules or additions to these based on the role play, so keep your eyes peeled, and thanks for stopping by!
