Information Source: Standard Rules for fighting
Rule #1: No more then two posts for any one action in a fight. There is no reason to do more then two since any one action that takes more then that is most likely a god move and therefore invalid to begin with.
Rule #2: Magic should be used sparingly. Magic also has to be prepped for each spell cast. Prepping takes several posts but they must not be followed by a more because the posts require time given to anyone else. The longer you prep your spell the more powerful it can be. If you are distracted though you loose the spell. Magic is best used by people who can type fast since they can hit enter on their first post and write their second post fast before the enemy has time to write something as well.
Rule #3: Porting. You cannot vanish and appear in the same post. They must be at least a post apart.
Rule #4: Shape Shifting. You cannot shift form AND attack in the same post. They must be at least a post apart.
Rule #5: Remember, an attack post must say at or towards and never hits (that's an auto) and must be at least 5 words (please more then that). Dodges are invalid if under 5 words and must make some form of sense.
Rule #6: I wish this didn't have to be said but after I saw some people in a chat room doing this I got very annoyed and they didn't even know it was an auto. Grabbing someone in a hostile manor (in attempt to throw, kidnap, etc) is an auto.. you have to GRAB FOR and it must be at least 5 words.
Rule #7: NPCs. Non player characters can be killed by autos as long as no one is in direct control of them. Direct control of npcs is limited to about 3-5 at a time (this can include pets, monsters, dragons, soldiers, etc). I've controlled 3 at a time plus my own char in a fight once (though my char was standing outside and no one saw that it was him doing this) and that was pushing it. 5 is probably the max of npc control. if you bring more then that into a battle they CAN be auto killed.
Rule #8: After a long argument over this it has come to my attention this rule needs to be stated too. You cannot attack twice in the same post. You can cast a spell and weapon rush at someone and it's ok but you cannot launch one attack with a sword (axe, spear, whatever) then another in the same post! Same goes for magic spell.. you can't cast two at once! you need to prep them separately... don't forget rule #2.
Rule #9: This is not really Turn based in the sense that you can't post till the other posts. Here's how it works. If you posted an ATTACK you have to wait for your opponent to post before you can post again.. but if you posted a defense.. or what nto.. you can put in another post for an attack.. prep.. landing.. or what not. It's only after an attack that you have to wait to post. This can lead to an attack and a non defense move clashing.. if you post a move while your opponent is attacking and your opponent gets that post in before you get yours.. you're gonna be hit by the move they made, so it can be dangerous.
