Here's how it is:
After the Earth was used up, we found a new solar system and hundreds of new Earths were terraformed and colonized. The central planets formed the Alliance and decided all the planets had to join under their rule. There was some disagreement on that point. After the War, many of the Independents who had fought and lost drifted to the edges of the system, far from Alliance control. Out here, people struggled to get by with the most basic technologies; a ship would bring you work, a gun would help you keep it. A captain's goal was simple: find a crew, find a job, keep flying.

Before you begin to role play, there are some basic ground rules that need be laid down. Please take a couple of minutes to read them, so I don’t have to get upset when they’re violated.
I know it may seem like a lot of reading but most of it is common knowledge. As long as you do not violate these rules I will not get mad at you for not reading them.
Thank you!
|||S E C T I O N _ O N E||| Be Polite!
It is very important to respect your fellow role players. If you have a relatively rude character, it is understandable; but I think everyone knows where the line between ‘in character’ and ‘just plain mean’ are. Please do not cross this line.
If you experience any bullying outside of role play, please let an administrator know. We will not tolerate blatant rudeness at this site. On that note, if you and another player have an issue with one another, please keep your problems out of roleplay. Instead, PM that person and work things out in private.
Bottom line: treat others with respect and you'll gain respect. You just might find that you will make lifelong friends here--I know I have!
|||S E C T I O N _ T W O||| Activity
Post often. I know there will be times when you just can't get to the computer, but don't be a hermit! Let us know you're here. That's the reason you have joined anyway, isn't it?
That being said, please try to post at least once a month. If you do not post for six months, your character may be killed off. I hope you all understand why.
If you think you do not want to be a member anymore, please just let me know. If you are simply going on vacation/are ill/etc, please let me know! It will be a lot less stressful if I know why you aren’t here. There is an absence board specifically designed for these occasions.
We care about each other here. Stay active and stay healthy!
|||S E C T I O N _ T H R E E||| Language Restrictions
It is not my rule but Proboards in general that requires your language to stay PG. I understand if your character has a potty mouth, but please keep it under control. The f-word should be used tastefully if used at all. Foul language will not be punished at TV unless used in extreme excess. I think everyone knows where the line is. Again, please don't cross it, or I'll have to draw one.
When in-character, remember that people in this fandom do not swear in English, but in Chinese. I will do my best to assure that your cusswords are translated, but if all else fails, please use "#" as a makeshift Chinese symbol when you cuss.
|||S E C T I O N _ F O U R||| Posting Threads
ALL MEMBERS are permitted to start their own threads. In fact, it’s encouraged! However, when starting a thread, please make it worth posting in for others. Threads containing one post or zero replies will be deleted.
Also, when posting, it is only common sense for you to post in the 3rd person. No other forms, please. If you post in 1st or 2nd person, you might receive a PM from me telling you to fix it.
|||S E C T I O N _ F I V E||| Spam!1!
There are three types of spam. Advertising, one-line posts, and canned meat. None of them are welcome at The 'Verse.
That said, if you spam (advertise) this forum, you'll be banned. This is your one and only warning. If you want to advertise your website, put it in your signature, profile, or affiliate with us. Do not urge other members to go to other sites via OOC posts or Private Messages. It's rude not only to me but to your fellow Role Players. Just don’t do it.
Spam (one-liners) are annoying and pointless. It is very difficult to reply to this type of spam, and therefore if you do it, I will either delete your post or write you a message out of frustration telling you to modify it. Sometimes I might do both. One-liners are only allowed in the out-of-character boards at the bottom of the site.
Spam (canned meat) is just gross.
|||S E C T I O N _ S I X||| Double Posting
Double Posting is when you post two or more times consecutively. Please do not do this. If you feel you have more to say, simply click the ‘modify’ button on your post and add it in. Double posting is only accepted in specified areas such as the out-of-character boards at the bottom of the site. Even then, it's just as easy to modify a post.
|||S E C T I O N _ S E V E N||| Characters
Also, please do not register canons. A lot of sites use them, but The 'Verse does not. While it would be cool and awesome to play as Malcolm Reynolds himself, the administration does not believe there is anyone save for Joss Whedon who can play a canon in-character and stay active. Canon Relatives are fine as long as their existence is believable.
A warm welcome to our newest member, Page Turner, leader of the gang the Doxy Dolls!
[June 30] This site is under new administration, and as such we will be working out what to do about contests and the money system. Please be patient with us as we figure everything out. =]
[Feb. 24] Putting the money system on hold and getting new contests up. Welcome to all of the new members we've had recently! The administration is very glad that you're liking the site.
NEW MEMBERS: This is a Firefly RPG. If you'd like to join, you must watch (or start watching) the show. You will thank me later. There is a link provided in the Navigation bar to your left that will allow you to watch the series for free online. There is no excuse for you to have not seen the series by now!
