MRO is geared towards a mature audience of writers, from early teen to adult. The plots and situations we explore in our threads reflect that: they range the full spectrum from light-hearted Mansion pillow fights to the worst that humanity (and mutant kind) has to offer. We have no restrictions on themes, situations, or character actions.
We do, however, have restrictions on the level of anatomical detail players may use: subtlety and the creative use of work-arounds are valued over graphic details/crude descriptions.
We are a
T for Teen rated site. The following are some specific descriptions and examples of that. If you have any questions, feel free to PM a Moderator or email us at <MutantRevolver@gmail.com>.
Sexual Language & Activities:
[/u]
[/a] – An illegally immigrated unicorn and his new wife enjoy their first evening together after a romantic courthouse wedding. Example of T-rated foreplay and fade.
I Now Pronounce You... – A wedding and it’s fade-to-black night, staring a couple that well deserved it. Example of smexy (yet still T-rated) foreplay, and a perfectly timed fade.
Crudeness example: "...She said as she stopped and bent over to tie her shoe. Her shirt went up and her shorts went down showing her ass better." (Written by a player later banned for more than that.)[/ul][/ul]
Illegal Drug Use (Mind Altering Substances):
Vulgar/Offensive Language: [/u]
[/ul]
Graphic Violence:
[/u]
[/i][/u] "Bob's enhanced strength easily snapped through Jane's spine, killing her. He left her broken body on the ground, mildly annoyed by the blood he now had to wipe from his hands. He’d liked these pants more than he’d liked that woman."
Going too far—Bob and Jane, M-rated violence: "Bob's enhanced strength easily snapped through Jane’s spine, killing her with a crackling squelch. His hand continued the plunge; warm viscera offered even less resistance than bone. The coils of intestine felt smooth over his flesh as her broken body slid forward onto the ground. He wiped the blood from his hands, mildly annoyed by the gritty fragments of bone that also clung to his arm, and the foul smell of ruptured organs already drifting up from the corpse. He’d liked these pants more than he’d liked that woman."
Justice is Blind. Nearly. – A guard is assaulted and castrated by a recently liberated prisoner. The first post is an excellent example of choosing descriptions both wisely and well to remain T-rated; the second post is an example of crossing the T-rated line into M by including too many crude/graphic details. (Written before MRO’s violence was T-rated.)
Spill – A young woman is kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by a confused young mutant. Example of a creative work-around to a highly disturbing situation; the result falls safely under a T-rated level of description.
The Tide Turns – A young wolf girl is physically assaulted by a monster from her past. Example of keeping exactly to the T for Teen side of the violence line, and timing well the cut off point for an attempted rape scene.
Schrödinger’s Kat – A girl is kidnapped, tortured, and eventually rescued from her living nightmare. Example of
crossing the T for Teen line. (The bulk of this thread was written before a site rating was enforced.)[/ul][/ul]
If you go beyond what’s considered appropriate for MRO’s ratings, you may be contacted by a Moderator, and asked to re-write. When in doubt, tone things down.
If you see a post that you believe is beyond what’s allowed, please point it out to us! It would be a big help; we try to enforce rules fairly and consistently, but there's only so many threads we can read. Either PM a Moderator, or email the <MutantRevolver@gmail.com> account. Thank you!
