As a player in this game, you agree to:

• Treat yourself and fellow players with respect.
  
• Communicate problems you may have with the person(s) responsible, or, failing that, with the moderators.
  
• Refrain from god moding, god modding, info modding, or strong-arming fellow players into going along with your ideas or under your presumptions about what is IC for their characters. In other words ask, don't tell.
  
• Remain faithful to the basic tenets of your character's personality.
  
• Follow the OOC Community for any and all game updates.
  
• Maintain an IC contact post, Critique post, and Permissions post for all characters currently active in game.
  
  Permissions posts should include: contact and timezone information, backtagging, personality traits or history that others should be aware of, acts you may feel uncomfortable playing out, etc. Minor violence such as encountered in hand-to-hand combat training or physical altercations outside of training areas will be expected and should not require permission to instigate. Major violence should be cleared with involved players and in some cases, mods.
  
  
• Lock to the community, place behind a cut, and appropriately warn in the subject line for all logs containing graphic depictions of violence, gore, and/or sexual contact. For purposes of this rule, graphic means explicitly written out and/or detailed.
  
• To be more than minimally active, as personal schedules allow.
  
• To tag all posts where your character participates, using their community tag.
  
• Rules may be edited or added as the need arises.

Any given player is allowed two strikes under this rule system before being escorted out of game. The third strike means an instantaneous banning of that player from this game. All rules are subject to addition, revision, or change as needs arise.

ppdc cadet handbook

Section 1: Mission & Philosophy

Born out of a need to preserve the shared values of our allied countries, the Pan Pacific Defense Corps Jaeger Academy fills an important role in the spectrum of education and defense training against the Kaiju. PPDC JA emulates the high ideals and long standing traditions of our United Nations, teaching its Cadets to stretch their mental, physical, cultural, and spiritual boundaries to their greatest potential.

The Jaeger Academy is committed to academic excellence and to the development in our Cadets of self-discipline and a sense of responsibility toward the global community at large. We undertake to instill a system of values and a work ethic which will continue to serve them and the United Nations should they graduate to full piloting or to any of the innumerable and esteemed positions within the Pan Pacific Defense Corps.

All within the most expedient timeframe, with both short and long term goals held firmly in sight.
