RULES!
[/font][/color]Yes, rules. The bane of every roleplayer's existence. Nobody ever likes to read through 'em, but they are necessary to bring order to chaos - or to prevent chaos from the outset. Please make sure to read all the rules thoroughly![/size]
GENERAL!
[/font][/color]1. This is the most important rule. Respect. Here, respect is a huge thing. Respect everyone; the staff, the members, the guests, everyone.[/size]
2. When registering, you can sign up using any name, though we'd prefer it if you kept it simple and similar to your characters name or your nickname. As soon as you're registered, change your display name to your characters first, middle, and last names. [Ex. Jane Lynn Doe]
3. From the day you've registered, you have five days to post an application. Once you've posted it, you have five days to complete it. The applications aren't too long or too hard, so it shouldn't take that long to finish. If you're going to be away and won't be able to finish your application within the allotted time, either PM a staff member or post on your app to say so. If you haven't posted your app after five days, your account will be deleted. [Unless you have already told an admin you will be absent.]
4. Please check the face claim before posting your application! Certain playbys are not usable by OCs simply because they're canon faces. We only allow famous people to be used as playbys, such as actresses, actors, models, musicians etc. No internet famous people or people who have specifically requested their faces not be used. If the face claim you wanted to use is taken, you can PM the person using and ask if they mind being a twin. If they say no, then pick another playby. This is a first come, first served system. However, you can reserve a playby for a few days beforehand!
5. If you're going to be away for more than a week, please post in the absences board so we know. If you just disappear for one month without a notice, your account will be deleted and your playby and/or canon will be up for grabs.
6. Nobody's perfect and neither is your character. When applying, please give your characters flaws and whatnot. If you want to make sure your character isn't a perfect character, or a Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu.
7. This is a PG-13 site, as stated by Proboards ToS. We allow some swearing, but no sex scenes, no drugs, no excessive drinking etc. Just fade to black and all that jazz.
8. There is no character limit. However, this is subject to change if I believe that this is being abused. For example, if you have ten characters and only post as two or three, I start a character limit.
9. Have fun! This is all supposed to be a good time for everyone. It's what we're here for at the end of the day, right?
ROLEPLAYING!
[/font][/color]1. While we don't have a minimum word count on this site, please keep in mind that it is hard to reply to someone who only posts in small paragraphs, or one-liners. At least try to have two or three good paragraphs before you post or reply to someone. It makes it easier. If this becomes I problem I will add a word count.[/size]
2. Please roleplay in past tense, third person. This makes it easier to understand.
3. Liquid time is allowed here. That means you can be in as many threads in as many different times at one that you want to!
4. Absolutely no god-modding or power-playing. You should all know what this means, so I won't go into depth about them, but basically no controlling the other person's character and no all powerful characters.
OOC!
[/font][/color][/size]
1. We encourage people to pop in the cbox and say hello, even if you aren't joining! We love to talk and if you want to ask a question there, I'm sure someone will be happy to reply!
2. There is to be no bullying on this site. Absolutely no bullying. If anyone gets wind of any bullying going on or you are being bullied, PM a staff member immediately and the situation will be dealt with.
3. We understand that sometimes people simply clash and you don't get on. In such a case, we would advise you to avoid this person as much as possible. If you find yourselves having to roleplay together, keep it polite, people. Arguing will not be tolerated.
GRAPHICS!
[/font][/color][/size]
1. I'm not too picky with graphics. For avatars, the maximum size can't be any bigger than 200x300. (Smaller is fine)
2. Signatures can't stretch the page. As long as they're no bigger than 500x500, I won't complain. Nothing vulgar please.
LOVE,
[/font][/color]the staff!
