Please try your best to follow ALL of these rules.  If you see anyone breaking any of these rules in our group chatrooms, please screenshot your evidence and send it in via Group Note.  Refrain from trying to solve the problem yourself.  We do not want anyone to be involved in unnecessary drama.  And of course, the reporter's identity will be kept anonymous.
    1st Offense:  Warning 2nd Offense:  Strict Warning 3rd  Offense:  Kicked and banned from the group.


OOC Rules

  • Respect yourself, your peers, the mods and the rules.
  • All art submitted to the gallery must be your own work.  We do not tolerate art theft/tracing/use of bases.
  • Please be at least semi-literate when you type your posts for RP
  • Please follow all the Roleplay Etiquette and refrain from god-modding at all times.  God-modding is defined as having an unfair advantage over your peers, including:
    • Controlling your peer’s character.

    • Multi-posting without giving your peer a chance to respond

    • Breaking forth walls that allows your character to know something he/she shouldn’t have.

    • Always hitting/dodging during a fight (5+ times consecutively)

    • Performing certain tasks outside of your character’s capabilities (such as able to use magic without being a member of Clover )
  • Do not spam in the chat, do not post excessive emotes in the chat
  • Keep the chat content appropriate for everyone, leave sensitive materials at the door and, if drama arises, contact a mod immediately via private means.  Keep the chatroom a comfortable environment, and please use the appropriate chats for different purposes.
  • When applying for group membership, you must follow the dress code of the modern fashion and culture, regardless of which faction you are applying for.


Chatroom Guidelines


Chatrooms are used for various purposes for this group, from general questions to role-plays.  Before using any of the chatrooms, you should read and follow the rules set out for them.  Anyone who violates chatroom rules are prone to expulsion from the group.  All general rules apply to chatrooms. 
  • General Chatroom: This is the chatroom for all general questions related to Clockhearts, as well as any out of character chats, plots, etc.  Absolutely no roleplay should occur in this chatroom, be it crack, informal, or formal.
  • Carnival Fair: This is the event chatroom, where all officially hosted RP events will occur. OOC chats will not be allowed in this chat. Specific rules are written in the topic section within the chatroom itself.  Guests are not able to talk in this chat.
  • RP chat 1 and RP chat 2: Chatrooms for unofficial RPs. OOC chats should be kept at a minimum, but not completely forbidden.
  • Ruling Faction council: Chatroom exclusive to moderators.


IC (in character) Guidelines

  •  There is no time definition; a period change can happen at any moment during the course of RP.  For example, a sunny day may suddenly turn into night without anyone's notice and moments later become afternoon again.
  • There is no distance definition in relationship to time, one feel free to travel to anywhere without having have to worry about being far away.

IC (in character) Restrictions

  • Do not kill other people’s characters without their prior consent.  You are only allowed to kill another person's OC if the player of that OC gives you consent first.
  • Members of the Spades Faction are the only ones allowed to break rules set by the ruling faction.  However, Spades members are not allowed to break the untouchable rules.
  • Unique roles are faction-specific.  Citizens with unique roles cannot belong to any other factions.
  • “Dead” characters cannot communicate with anyone.  However, he/she can still perform the action of taking his/her clock-heart to the repairman.  This is the only action a dead character can perform.
  •  Any ability/magic that can be considered god-modding is not allowed.  Ex. Mind-reading, puppetry, etc.
  • Although costume may change Reign by Reign, technology level cannot.  Under no circumstances will there be cars, computers, cellphones, or anything along those lines.
  • Members of clover faction are limited to one ability/magic and one ability/magic only.  Flying or any sort of levitation is considered as one ability. Similarly, if a character can control fire, he/she cannot control water or any other elements.
  • Because life does not exist in Wonderland, any magic that has to do with life and/or spirit is not allowed.  This includes, but not limited to: summoning, necromancy, ability to communicate with spirits or control them, etc.
