The race for power continues. Candidates vie for the highest office in the land, gazes set on the oval office-while all around them, new schemes hatch, and plans are made. Statesmen seek to change the future of the country, politicians cut their deals, while the media will do anything for a prime scoop. In the core of a nation divided is a city always alight with ambition, where anyone has a shot at their dreams-and anyone can see them dashed.

Rules
1- OP is Lord and the Co-OP's are the princes. Their word is law. Follow it.
2- No RL characters Or at least no celebrities. That's no Donald Trump. I knew you were aching to play Trump, but that's no-no. On this note, RL politicians post-Reagan do not exist, or have been replaced with generic stand-ins. Records and history are the same, including statistics, save in the places where player-characters have brought about a change.
3- Good quality IC and Frequent posting preferred. We know you are busy, and RL concerns come first-but make sure if you join, that you will stick around. A post per week or more is preferred, and try to keep them of good quality-one-liners will not go far.
4- Respect your fellow players. Play nice. If you don't have friends, you won't have fun.
5- No godmod/flawless/perfect characters Give them from flaws. No one has fun when everyone is perfect.
6-No cheat-edits Typos are one thing, but don't try to change what was done IC because you don't like it. You can appeal if you want to, but don't try to change what already happened.
7- If you are not sure if something is legal, ask OOC first. Always better to check-and there is limited leniency for things that are obviously bad.
8-No assassination attempts. You can probably look for a loophole there-don't. In essence, no use of extreme physical force against another player, or anything like poison. If you and another both agree, contact an OP, and it will be discussed-unilateral action is strictly forbidden.
9-No spite characters. You may hate Democrats, and want to make a Senator who will have scandals on them-don't. Complex characters are fine, but having your character actively sabotage their own party/demographic out-of-character is forbidden.
No metagaming. This takes two forms-first, using OOC knowledge that you have but your character could not in the IC, and second, attempting to "engineer" a character specifically to do something in relation to specific aspects of another character or a situation. Hiccups aside, keep OOC and IC separate. Similarly
11-Keep OOC comments out of the IC. We have a whole thread set aside just for that reason. Putting and leaving OOC comments in parenthesis degrades the quality of the RP, wholly OOC posts in the IC are right out. Bring up any issues in the OOC, or TG the OP.
12- Have fun! Misery is illegal.
