1) No godmodding, which means no taking over another's character and having them do things (that's why other roleplayers exist), and definitely no killing them without having worked it out before the scene happens. Characters are coming back all the time, but that's rude, and you're giving Eli (and Rohan) more work.
2) Please try to stay active! You know what happens when thing slow down? Witches get bored. What happens when witches get bored? They die. That said, if you intend to go on a hiatus, please post it on your page or in the shoutbox.
3) Please ask before starting to ship with people. Umineko has lots of potential for ships, but it takes at least two people to create a universe. If only one person sees that illusion of love, then somebody's going to get hurt. While I'm at it, don't force people to roleplay with you.
4) Mentions of smut things are okay (Beato even mentions such things in a rant), but if you intend to go into that territory, I ask that you keep it to PMs. Umineko isn't erotica, it's murder mystery with witches. On that note, no smut for people under 18. That's a literal crime and I won't tolerate it.
5) Please at least go over some of the premises (and maybe even check the Umineko wiki for more elaborate things). I didn't put all of that there for fun.
6) Don't make anybody uncomfortable. If somebody is making you uncomfortable, try to talk it out privately, or if that doesn't work, talk to an admin about it and we'll do something. If it gets bad enough, the offender will be banned.
7) Please write coherently!! Use quotation marks, paragraphs, proper grammar and punctuation! Try for at least a few sentences! It isn't fair to other roleplayers when they write well-thought out responses and the other person churns out "He laughed. 'So what do you want to do.'"
8) There will be maximum of nine witches on this forum at a time, and they all need to embody a concept. There can be up to two Witches of Truth. Your furniture can borrow names and powers from actual Umineko characters, since no Umineko characters will be allowed.
9) You can have up to six different characters. This may grow as time goes on. You can only have two witches at most until the witch cap is reached, but you can have as many servants/furniture and humans as is within the character limit.
10) There can only be two detectives at a time, and only one can use the Detective's Authority. However, there is no cap to the number of humans and servants. A witch has gotta find enough sacrifices.
11) To do exclusive threads, use Tag/Tagging: [Character name here] in brackets or parentheses.
12) For furniture that serve witches, please have them correspond to the demons in Umineko (or the basis of them). This includes the Seven Stakes of Purgatory, Zepar, Furfur, Gaap, Ronove, the Chiester Corps, and for the sake of things, if you want a character to be of Eiserne Jungfrau, please give them a Western name like Elizabeth or Jonathan.
13) Extremely important. You cannot app characters from these kinds of series: Hetalia (please don't), Western CGI animation like Lorax and Frozen, The Witch's House (this is banned because the creator does not allow crossovers), any hentai series (anime based off eroges that don't have erotic scenes in the anime are okay like Fate/Stay Night), preferably nothing 07th Expansion like Higurashi, Rose Gun Days, or Higanbana, or something with primarily animal characters like Lion King (Show by Rock is an exception due to humanoid forms).
14) 2/1/17 edit: While there are only two Voyager witches in Umineko canon shown, for the sake of things (and since I don't intend to have a bunch of successors and a predecessor to Eli), there will be up to six total different Voyager witches allowed. Not per person, but for the entire roleplay.
