KMC Forums - Video Game Versus Rules

Just a few simple rules to keep the forum running smoothly. Make sure to read them all though carefully!

Obviously, considering the size of this forum compared to the others, the rules don't need to be as strict, but there are a few nonetheless.

1. This forum is Video Game Versus. Therefore, all characters in the match must originate in a video game - simply appearing in one is not good enough! If you are unsure if a character originates in a game, do a little research first. Wikipedia and Google are your friends!

2. All matches should be fair -- do not start one where it is blatantly obvious that one side would stand no chance. An example of this would be a Chocobo vs. Master Chief. Also, spite threads just annoy people, so don't do it. However, chances are if one person claims "spite thread" we are not going to close it if we believe there is sufficient discussion going on. Prove it's a spite thread first.

3. Please, try and keep them to no more than 3 vs. 3. If they are in teams, each team can have up to 5. Otherwise it just gets too hard to discuss. Matches that are 1v1v1 etc are not allowed and will be closed. The one and single exception to this rule is if each side will be fighting as one army-like team; this must be specified in the first post, else I will assume that it's not the case and close the thread for being against the rules. Gauntlets will be the sole exception to this rule, but I still ask that it stays under 6 opponents.

Note: people have not been following this rule very well. We are going to be cracking down on it more and I am considering getting rid of the 'army' exception entirely because people do not seem to want to actually go about doing it properly.

4. Recently there have been questions about matches including KOTOR/KOTOR2 characters, as they originate in the games yet the games are based in the Star Wars universe. If it is a KOTOR character against another game character, then it should go in this forum. If it is two KOTOR characters against each other, then it should go in the Star Wars Vs. forum.

5. Please use the search function before creating a thread to be sure that it hasn't been done already.

Tips for the search funtion:

Use the search function at the bottom of the forum.
If you use the main KMC search, be sure to click on advanced options and select it to search this forum.
To better find results, be specific. Say you are looking for a match with Link and Cloud (to select two names at random). Instead of simply typing in Link and Cloud, try typing title:link cloud or title: (link cloud).
See this post for more search engine tips.

6. All KMC Forum Rules still apply here. This means that bashing and flaming is not allowed; nor is spamming or breaking the PG-13 rule. Do not do it.

7. Canon feats vs. non-canon feats - I leave this solely up to the decision of the thread-starter. I do expect people to adhere to the decision made for that particular thread.

8. Try and give some info about the characters used in the match. Post a link to a wikipedia article, or a youtube video. I just ask that if you want to use a bunch of videos, to link to them rather than post them directly in the thread.

9. Respect threads - not allowed. Sorry guys. They've got their own forum.

10. This is character vs., not actually "game vs. game" versus.

Any threads I find breaking these rules will be closed. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the Off-topic thread; any suggestions should go in this thread. If you find any one or any thing breaking these rules, please report the offending posts. Please do not PM me unless you have a question that you need to have answered quickly.

Thank you very much and have fun stick out tongue
