[googlefont="Forum"]All rules are subject to change. When they do, we'll send out an announcement, and put it in the Cbox.
►Adventures of Skyrim is an intermediate to advance roleplaying community.
►Be respectful - This should not be a hard thing to do, seeing as how we all have feelings. It doesn't matter if the person is a guest, veteran member, or a staff member, everybody deserves respect. If an argument does arise, please bring it to PM, or anything besides the Cbox. Let's keep the drama to a minimum.
►Use tasteful language - Keep inappropriate language to minimum. I know sometimes it is hard to do this, because I have a sailor mouth, but I don't want to see curse words in every other sentence.
►Registering - When registering, the name should be the name of your character, unless it is your author account. Ex: NightMother, SavosAren or even simply Ulfric are acceptable. No darkbrotherhood666 or adding crazy characters to your name please.
►Graphics - We rather not see your nudes so let's keep it to a minimum. We realize that Elder Scrolls has allowed stomachs and some cleavage to show, but let's keep it to a minimum please.
►Finishing Application - When you are finished with your application, please do not harass staff. We will get to it. If not checked after 48 hours, PM an Admin (Radilu, Night Mother or Chewy). We all have this thing called life (you can buy it off Amazon for $970 million) and sometimes it gets the best of us.

Character Rules
►Canon Characters - If you have a canon character in the making, you have 3-4 weeks to finish it otherwise we will approach you and try and talk to you about it. If we are unable to get into contact with you we will make the canon open for another person to take. If you have a canon, you must post at least once every three weeks, to make things fair. Now, we know you may have busy lives, let us know this and we will excuse you.
►Balancing Characters - No god-moding, but if you plan your character to be stronger than normal, please ask one of the Admins (Radilu, Night Mother, or Chewy) and we will review your request.
►Killing Characters - If you're killing a character off, no matter what way you are doing it EX. Murder, Suicide, etc... Let the staff team know, please.
►Multiple Characters - For those who are character whores make multiple characters, we ask that once your character is accepted and has posted at least three times before you make another character. Suspended until further notice.
►Character Accounts - Each character should have their own account.
►Applications - You have unlimited time to complete your application (though we want you to complete it as soon as possible so you can plot!). However, if your account is inactive for more than a month, we will move your application to the Inactives. If you would like it active, please PM an Admin. Applications that do not have the phrase 'Sweet mother, sweet mother, send your child unto me, for the sins of the unworthy must be baptised in blood and fear' will not be accepted.
►It's hard to find Face Claims that are Skyrim-centered. As long as the image is fantasy-like, you should be fine. For any questions, pop into the Cbox or PM an Admin!

Thread Rules
►Sexual Content - Please, no sexual content in our threads. Keep them PG-13 - Refrain from profanity if possible. Keep sexual scenes off site.
►Metagame/Powerplay - Do not control another person's character without their permission, being a rude thing to do. Also, your character cannot know EVERYTHING. Such as, a person holding a knife behind their back some distance away from your character. Or knowing EXACTLY what an opponent is going to do, or planning without reasonable evidence. This is metagaming.
►Death/Fights - If there is a death threat/thread or a thread will there will be fighting, both players must agree to make it either death enabled, or non-death enabled, this way no one will complain that their character unfairly got killed.
►Please use proper grammar, spelling and sentence structure in the English language. If English is not your first language, we'll help with any mistakes along the way.
►300 words minimum per post. It sucks when you take all that time, energy and effort into making one beautiful post, and someone returns with a crappy paragraph.

Cbox Rules
►Respect - Be respectful of your fellow members! No discrimination or bullying WHATSOEVER! Sexuality, religion, race, etc. We do no discriminate against anyone for their sexual orientation, religious beliefs, nationality, skin color, etc. If a member is doing so, and an Admin or Mod is not around, screenshot (Prnt Srn and CTRL+V into Paint) to show us evidence. This saves you and us time.
►Guests - Always be friendly and acknowledge the guests that visit the site, even if you don't like them. You wouldn't like being disrespected and ignored as a guest.
►Links - NO inappropriate links! The last thing we need is to be shut down from 18+ links and pictures, in the Cbox.
►Don't spam the Cbox for constant help on your character/guild application. Your character is your own creation, and it's not our job to help you with every single thing. Questions are one thing, but when you're asking how tall should your Altmer be then it's time to look at the Elder Scrolls Wikia for help.
