The Rules are straight forward. If you disobey the rules, you will:
1st time - Warning
2nd time - Warning*/Ban for 7 days
3rd time - Ban for 7 days*/ Ban for 31 days
4th time - Ban for life
* Depending on scenarios
Here they are:
1. No making fun of gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders, etc. For simplicity of this rule and no confusion, please only put male or female on the gender category.
2. No playing god. You can't avoid all of their great attacks that are hard to avoid simply because you can. Me or any moderators/administrators will determine what this means. This doesn't mean you can't dodge the hard-to-dodge attacks, just be reasonable.
3. You start out with no OverSoul. Just a spirit that you met/attained.
4. You are not god. Your furyoku level can not be even in the thousands to start. Work your way up from the beginning, you start with 100-300 furyoku. If you are aiming for high furyoku, we expect to see better applications than basic ones, as well as a slight brush with death.
5. No Canon Characters. This is not a fan site, this is a role playing site.
6. S.O.F, S.O.R, S.O.E., S.O.T, and S.O.W are not allowed as beginning spirits.
7. The G.S. can not be related in your history, unless you go back to the previous shaman tournament in family history, though the G.S. can not effect your upbringing in any way, unless it is a part of an aspiration to be shaman king (no +1000 furyoku for "seeing the great spirits visions while you grew up", or whatever).
8. Have fun...or else.
