x XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Laws ::

► Personal Rules
• Neglecting or refusing to read announcements is not an excuse for missing
• information. Please be sure to always read them thoroughly.

• During events, arcs, and missions, unless otherwise specified, you will
• have a limit of three [3] days to post. If you do not post within 48 hours
• of the previous post, you will receive a PM from the Kage, adviser, or
• squad leader. You will then have another 24 hours to post following.

• If entering the village as a shinobi or civilian not of the village you must wait
• [3 days during a normal post cycle]
• If you have not been interacted with or stopped you may continue on into the village. But you cannot post at the gates and then enter in the same post.

• If you know you are not going to be able to post within the time frame
• [5 days outside of events, 3 during], post in the Hiatus thread, located
• in the main forum. Failure to do so will result in auto-hits with any attacks
• coming your direction, or getting skipped. These can be forgiven in dire
• situations, but you must communicate with me.

• If you are in charge of a squad, temporary or permanent, it is your job
• to communicate with everyone else. This includes PMing them when they
• are not posting all the way to reporting the mission at the end of it. This
• is to relieve some pressure from the Kage. If you are incapable to doing
• these things, someone else will be put in charge.

• There will be regular activity checks. Failure to respond to the activity
• check will make you unable to post in the village. Your shinobi will be
• considered a rogue and hunted down. The only way to escape eminent
• demise is to speak to the Kage via PM.

• You must turn in a mission to the Raikage, one of their appointed advisers,
• or the office secretary in order to receive AC or ryo for completion. Likewise,
• all rewards must be posted to the Mission Board in order to keep track of
• your progress. It is not counted as complete until you post there.

• We are following a system that divides Rank and Title. Just because you
• receive 7500 AC does not automatically make you a Chuunin. See the rules
• for Titles below for more details.

• Remember that all actions have both good and bad consequences.

• Most importantly, have fun!
