Rules Basic Rules...Because without Rules, there would be disorder.
1.This game is based on the Showtime series The Tudors, as well ACTUAL HISTORY. As such, it will be an ADULT game, with ADULT situations. So please, if you are under the age of 18 do not apply. Think of it as an "R" rated movie except instead of 17, you have to be 18.
2.Slash is allowed, but only where it is called for by the character. While there is clearly a definite "Bro-mance" between Henry VIII and Charles Brandon on the television series, there is no indication there or in real life they were loves or in love with each other. But, for example, as it is implied several places, if someone were wanting to make George Boleyn gay that is fine, as there are indicators that may have been the case. But, otherwise we are going by either what was in the show, or what was historically acurate to the best of our modern day knowledge.
3. Since there are going to be adult situations, the moderators ask that you please but any entry considered ADULT behind a cut tag, with a warning. Basically, if the scene involves anything other than some heavy making out, and the characters are going to get all touchy feel on each other, put it behind a cut with a warning that the entry contains adult content.
4. Original characters are NOT being accepted at this time. The are too many real people we need players for. Once the game gets started and the ball gets rolling, that might change. But for now, please only apply for characters from history and the show.
5. Each player will be limited to four characters. Again, this may change depending on who is interested in playing who, and if we get enough people. But for right now, the limit is four.
6. All posts should be done in third person. And while we don't except everyone to write as though they are a noble prizing winning author, PLEASE no web slang. Use proper grammer, and try to spell check. You won't be yelled at for it, no one is perfect. Just try and be careful.
7. Entries will be posted as follows: Who: What: Where: When:(optional, but try and keep it within the time line of events of the game) Warning:(if needed)
8. NO GODMODING!!! Unless another player has asked you ahead of time to play their character(s) because they are out of town or something, then don't do it. You don't want someone else making up stuff for your character, so don't do it for anyone elses.
9. New Entries must be posted at least once a week, either to the community game, or to your characters personal journal. The mods will not ride your tail about this, it is supposed to be fun and we understand that people have real lives. But, we ask that you try and post something at least once a week and if we notice several weeks go by with nothing, then we will contact you. First you will just get a friendly reminder, the second time will be a harsh reminder, the third time will be a warning, and after that you will asked to leave. IF you are going to be out of town for a while, or have computer issues or life just generally gets in your way for a while, we understand. Just try and let us know that you are having issues so that we don't kick you out. We can work around anything if we know about it.
10. Most important rule of all...HAVE FUN!! Because you wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't fun.
