These rules are very simple. Not following them will result in you being banned, and laughed at.
GENERAL RULES
GENERAL RULES
- RESPECT. It is the number one thing around here. Trolls, bullys, and meanie-heads will NOT be tolerated. Respect each other, the staff, and guests. Even if you don't agree with someone's point of view, you must still respectfully respond. That means no name calling, no dramatics, and absolutely no public shaming. Also, keep your OOC drama OUT of the RPs.
- All play-bys must be ACTUAL people. No cartoons (including anime), nor would Miss Piggy fly. It can be a deceased person, within reason. Please make sure that your graphics include actual clothing.
- Activity checks will be held QUARTERLY (every three months). Everyone hates paperwork, but DO respond to these by week's end.
- The site is rated PG-13, NOT R. Yes, I know it's a Crime scene site about adults, but there are younger players, and they do not need to know what happens under the covers. If you NEED to have your char doing something "lemon-y". use a "fade to black" or else figure out a way to make it mild.
- Finally. Communication. It goes hand in hand with respect. We're busy Agents, but if we're gonna save the world, there might be times where we need to pass on a dossier. PLEASE know that we will not be contacting you over every little thing-if a staffer posts/PMs something, it's IMPORTANT. Please read and respond in a timely manner.

Our graphics moderator is a Ginger. Please don't annoy her, or she will eat the soul of a fluffy kitten. THINK OF THE KITTENS!
OOC
- We feel that word counts are too restrictive. That said, you MUST give your fellow RPers somethng to work with. One sentence answers are NOT acceptable. If you need help with something, please ask. Also, we realize that English isn't everyone's first language, and all efforts will be noted! We just ask that you try. No one is a grammar nazi, but please try your best.
- Characters. You may have as many characters as you can keep up with, we understand some characters don't have active plots, but if you completely give up on your character, let us know and then either get rid of them or make them active.
- When posting, only use the character account that is actively playing in that thread, if you don't it gets confusing to people on who is playing. If two characters are playing, you may use the Horizontal rule/line to seperate the characters, but let us know who is who.
- Please have 1 character per account, this will keep it easy to keep track of.
- Nobody in the world is perfect, please don't let your character be perfect, too. Some characters are better than average, but don't let it get out of hand (ie, no Mary Sue's or Marty Stu's).
- No Godmodding please, it gets annoying and starts conflicts that aren't needed. If the other member allows you to godmod then you may but not without permission from them.

- Sigs can be no larger than 500x300. You may use two 200x300 blocks. DO NOT STRETCH THE PAGE. See above.
- You must give credit to anyone that wants credit for what they do. I don't want be strict on this but I don't want messages saying that the image or content is stolen. DO NOT steal graphics or codes. Again, the kitties' souls.
- If you like to make graphics, and interested in making them for others; contact Cass (Fee). She want to build a seperate Graphic Mod team for the site.
OOC
- NO FIGHTING IN THE OOC BOARDS!! If you have a problem with another member, take it to the PMs and contact an admin.
- If there is a conflict between you and another member or staff, let someone know personally through PM or Yahoo, we will mediate the problem.
- There will be NO IC rp in the OOC boards. Cases may start there, but they're strictly for entertainment.
Finally, HAVE FUN!
