Take Note
1.) The number one rule is consent. You cannot force someone to roleplay anything with you that they don't want to do. Furthermore, if someone becomes uncomfortable halfway through the roleplay, they have every right to say no and call an end to the roleplay; no always mean no, even in the middle of something. The person who keeps forcing others to roleplay such situations will be punished harshly; if you are having such troubles with an individual please do not be afraid to tell staff!
2.) Roleplays of an adult nature should be kept to private places such as houses or bedrooms! Please make sure that everyone is oocly 18+ and fully consenting to such a roleplay, too, before engaging. Anyone who breaks this rule will be treated as harshly as with the above rule. Keep fetishes and sexual matters out of general roleplays (soft innuendos for the laughs are fine, however).

3.) Do try your best to keep to My Little Pony canon when creating or bringing characters here- this includes names. They should at least try to stick to the naming conventions of the species you're playing.
4.) Usage of the word rape (whether threats, video game usage, attempted "jokes") is disallowed and is grounds for ejection, and/or possible banishment should this rule be broken repeatedly. The same goes for any slurs.
5.) Your character(s), if adults, must look like adults. They can be shorter than the average pony height, but they cannot look like/be sized like children.
Out of Character
1.) Please show respect for everyone in the dream. If someone asks you to leave them alone or to stop doing something, then stop! There is nothing funny about being rude and persistent.
2.) Do not argue with staff, and furthermore, do not put staff on ignore. Arguing will get you nowhere.
In Character
1.) This dream is solely a consent dream. All types of roleplay are welcome here, whether it be Strict or Persona, or anything in between. Post lengths are also not an issue.
2.) Do not bring OOC information IC and vice versa. What happens in roleplay also has nothing to do with how the player feels, either. Just because their character hates yours doesn't mean the player behind that character hates you. Using your OOC knowledge of what you read of the other character in an rp post, whether it's their thoughts, what they're concealing, etc, counts as well and is not allowed. Be reasonable.
3.) There will be no fighting or arguing over the apartments and establishments. They are claimed by no one, and only to be used as a backdrop for where your character lives. If an apartment is already occupied, or an establishment already being used in roleplay by a stand-in owner, then feel free to find another area to roleplay in or wait until they are no longer being occupied.
4.) Avoid claiming OCs have a pre-existing connection/relationship/history/etc with a canon character without first talking to the roleplayer behind that character (if there is one). Which means, do not impose on other people's characters. It doesn't matter if you developed something with a different canon in a different dream- it didn't happen here. If it's possible, make a compromise with the canon character's player and decide what could or couldn't have happened between the characters.

5.) The largest height for OCs that is allowed is Celestia's height and no more.
6.) There will be no autohitting whatsoever. You must attempt/try/etc to do something to another person's character. If there is something specific, storywise, that must be done, ask permission first!
Alicorn OCs
Since it has been shown in the show that normal ponies can ascend to alicornhood, we have decided to allow alicorn OCs under specific rules to avoid certain problems.
1.) There will be no immortal alicorns, or those born as alicorns. They must have ascended into the species. The only time a pony will be born as an alicorn is if one or both parents are alicorns themselves and both with powerful magic; and even then, it would be a rare thing.
2.) While we encourage freedom with the designs, it would be appreciated if they did not blatantly copy after the canon princesses' designs. Be creative and choose a new theme for your character!
3.) There are plenty of princesses in Equestria as is. There's more to the world than that one continent, so your OC could be a royal from a different land if they are one at all. Ascended alicorns native to Equestria who aren't royalty is perfectly fine, however.
4.) With all this said, your character cannot be overpowered. They will not suddenly be the creator of magic or the universe or a specific element, nor will they be as long lived as Celestia and Luna. Sure, if you were writing a story about your character that'd be fine, however it would most likely not fit in with the dream's established canon, and isn't aloud for the sake of not imposing on canon roleplayers.
5.) There will be no characters related to the princesses (see rule 1 on age/no immortals), as in there will be no other sisters or brothers. There will be no aunts, uncles, cousins, childhood friends, caretakers, guardians nor will the princesses have had any sons or daughters. In the chance that you do have something along the lines of this, please kindly keep it to your fanfiction and out of this dream (keeping it to the OOC is fine too).
Fighting
1.) If you have engaged in fight roleplay, remember that we use the 3-dodge rule: you are allowed to dodge at least three times until you have to take whatever's coming next. What would be good to note, as well, is that it is perfectly fine for your character to receive injury. If someone does not consent to the death or dismemberment of their character, however, then please abide by this.
Godmodding, metagaming, powerplaying and the like is not allowed. Here is a helpful link to explain them in detail!
*If you feel uncomfortable engaging in a fight roleplay without a referee, feel free to contact the dream owner or staff to referee.
