Welcome to SotGA, again!
Like most RP forums, we have a few rules around these parts that we expect to be followed, to make sure everyone can have their fun without ruining it for anyone else. We've broken them up into two categories, but give them all a read and be sure to follow them, because the staff here at SotGA have a zero-tolerance policy for people getting in the way of each other's good times.
SITE RULES (Don'ts)
1) For the most part, SotGA is a PG-13 site, in the same sense that One Piece is technically PG-13. Keep the cussing and swearing to a mild minimum, but a little here and there is fine - we are all sailors here.
2) We are a WORK SAFE BOARD. Do not post pornographic or sexually explicit material in any form, text or images. Do not post anything you would have a problem with your parents or your boss seeing.
3) The topic of sexual assault and rape, in any form, is OFF-LIMITS on SotGA. Do not talk about it, do not post images involving it - this is for BOTH IN AND OUT OF CHARACTER. Do not write a character backstory involving or implying such actions - it will not be approved, and will probably just be deleted right out. You have been warned.
4) Be civil, and do not insult or discriminate against any other player on the grounds of race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or ANYTHING ELSE. If you invent a new means of discrimination, that's wonderful, keep it off the board and out of the chatbox.
5) Don't godmod. This site has PVP threads and we take cheating or rules abuse very seriously in them. Do not word your posts in a way to prevent opposing players from responding to them, and do not try and make techniques that game the system - trust me, our staff has seen them all.
6) Don't metagame. Keep out of character knowledge out of character. If you have multiple characters, they may not benefit each other or work together in any way. If you wish to play cooperative characters, there are purchasable abilities to allow that.
SITE RULES (Do's)
1) The storyline of SotGA is set 20 years after the Summit War at the midpoint of the One Piece series. While your characters may know vague details about the events and characters from the series, you may not be related to any of the canon One Piece characters, and it is unlikely you have ever met any of them in person.
2) Only one account per player. A player may play a second character when their first reaches 25 IC posts and they have been active on the site for at least one month, and a third when either character reaches 75 IC posts, but they all stay on the same account. If we catch a player using multiple accounts, all secondary accounts and related characters will be deleted, as well as other disciplinary action.
3) Starting characters, for now, must begin in one of the Blue Seas. Down the road this will change, once players have found a way into the Grand Line, but for now this is the only option.
