  • 1 ~ Code of Conduct
    ~ Foul language and cursing is technically accepted, but please resist using it if you can. If you can convey your thoughts without rambling like a drunken sailor, the staff and rest of the site would appreciate it.

  • 2 ~ Stay in character
    ~ While posting on the site, always stay in character. If you have to make a comment or ask a question, do so at the beginning or end of the post. Also mark or state when speaking out of character as to clear up confusion.

  • 3 ~ Keep it somewhat realistic
    ~ Mass Effect is generally sci-fi fantasy, but it is still based in a realistic setting. Have a reason or motive for your character's actions (unless your character is clinically insane). Do not create any "God Characters." Anyone who has played any of the Mass Effect games can see that commander Shepard was invincible. He was awesome, but if he was shot enough times then he would go down.

  • 4 ~ Put effort into your post
    ~ Don't post a one or two sentence post. It can be annoying waiting for someone to finally post only to have just a one-liner. Try to post at least a paragraph. The people you are RP'ing with will thank you for it. or if you can't manage that at least take the time to make your post acceptable with some thought into it by trying your best.

  • 5 ~ Using Art
    ~ Just crediting the image is acceptable. If you want to use someone's art,. Art theft is not permitted on MEI. If you are caught using someone else's art without visual crediting, you will be warned first then permabanned. This is non-negotiable.

  • 6 ~ Arguments
    ~ Arguments and disagreements are to be kept out of the CBox and in private messages. Keep it civil folks. Your drama is to be left at the door.

  • 7 ~ Character Approval
    ~ We do not enforce a strict character limit, but we do ask that you put effort into your character. Do your research, know what you are playing.

  • 8 ~ Biotics
    ~ Any race can have biotics just note that you have to reasonably explain on how they were exposed in the utero. Keep in mind that this affects other races differently. like a quarian biotic would be ultra rare cause of the weak immune system. But if you are playing as an asari you do not have to explain as all asari have biotics. (Edited by Nighthawk )

  • 9~ Submissions
    ~ There should be no more than one submission in each category at a time such as for ,Lab items, shipyard, Orgs, Businesses, Characters. That way there is no cluttering the submission area and once you create something wait for it to get approved before making something new. (Edited by Nighthawk)


  • 10~People who join this RP forum are expected to be familiar with the Mass Effect storyline, from ME 1 through 3. A decent understanding on Mass Effect lore is sufficient. This being said, all members are expected to make character concepts that that is acceptable for the Mass Effect universe and the Mass Effect Infinium's universe.

    Characters from other universes, or simply outlandish aspects on a character that is not supported by our codices are not permitted. No Biotic Geth or Krogan-Human-Turian hybrids are allowed. We also have restrictions on certain races and characters that require a member to reach a certain pre-requisite in order to make them. Please familiarize yourself with them. This is not negotiable.

  • 11~Please do not confuse in-character posts with the real world. You are playing a different person, a puppet, and you are a puppet master, if you will. Members should understand that whenever they are roleplaying anything, events occurring in-character should never be brought out-of-character, and personal drama should never be brought in-character. Statements or actions done in-character are directed towards your character, not you. Whether this is a slap to the face, or a confession of love, do NOT take it seriously. Again, DO NOT take roleplaying personally.

  • 12~If you commit to a thread you have to see it though. If things happen and are out of your control tell the people you are rping with so they know either to postpone the thread or archive it to a later date. If a person holds up an entire thread for at least a few days without contact then skip over them to keep the story moving. You have the right to excuse yourself out of a thread if you don't feel like rping in it or have other things to do. Please let the people you are rping with know and state in the thread you are pulling the character out.

CBOX RULES

4 Points of Common Courtesy in the Cbox
Documentation by MelioraAdmin of RPG-D


1) "I'm bored."
Statements such as this one tend to upset people, administrators and regular members alike- especially when used frequently. They can be considered insulting to the people who are threading with you, and it seems that admins often become frustrated with members who say this because they feel like those members should be taking the initiative to find threading and plotting opportunities for themselves. Although admins are often more than willing to lend a helping hand once in a while, they can't constantly worry about finding things for every member to do. If you're bored, try contacting another member about starting up a new thread. Asking other members if they'd like to thread in the Cbox is a perfectly acceptable thing to do in most games. Rather than saying "I'm bored" and waiting for people to offer you an opportunity, bring the opportunities to others! If, for some reason, you find that you're constantly bored and can't find anything to do in a game, perhaps it's time for you to move on.

2) "Woe is me!"
Although roleplaying communities can become fairly tight-knit groups, and members are often interested in knowing about the things going on in their roleplaying partners' lives, telling everyone about how awful your life has been in the Cbox is generally considered poor behavior. Some things just aren't appropriate for Cbox discussion (talk of abuse, personal family issues, and relationship trouble), and even little things tend to bring the atmosphere of the game into an unpleasant state when they crowd the OOC discussions. Keep in mind that people roleplay as a hobby. They often get to roleplaying when they want to relieve stress and take a break from their own hectic lives. Even if they aren't trying to get a break, they may want to be able to roleplay without having to worry about your personal drama. Try not to bring down the people around you!

3) Show an interest in others. Don't talk about yourself too much!
It's easy to get caught up in talking about yourself, but in every type of social situation it's important to remember that showing an interest in the people around you will make you seem more likable. Constantly posting messages about what you're doing, what you think, what your character is up to, and how interesting your experiences have been is bound to eventually get on the nerves of other players. Something as simple as asking "How are you today?" or commenting on something another player wrote that you enjoyed can be a real pick-me-up in the Cbox, and it can certainly make a game more appealing to potential members that are trying to find out if a game's community is one they'd feel comfortable with.

4) Avoid criticizing the work of others, and remember that sarcasm doesn't always translate well.
Sometimes things slip and they aren't always obviously malicious, but it's important to remember that it's easy for people to misinterpret the written (typed) word. You may say something in jest, but someone else could easily be offended by it because your words weren't clear. Try not to comment on others' work in a negative or critical way, and remember that your sarcasm may not be interpreted as sarcasm. It should go without saying that blatantly insulting players or their writing in a Cbox is a serious offense, and it should never be done if you want to be considered a considerate participant in Cbox discussion.
