Rules

RULES

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!

GENERAL

I. This is the most important rule. Respect. Here, respect is a huge thing. Respect everyone; the staff, the members, the guests, everyone.

II. 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. As soon as you're registered, change your display name to your characters first and last name in all lowercase letters; i.e: elena smith. Punctuation in your display name is not allowed, nor are numbers. Just the name, please.

III. If you've decided to post a character application, 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 saying so. If you haven't finished your app after five days it will be deleted unless you have a valid explanation as to why you couldn't finish it. Everyone also must fill out the required claims for each character they make.

IV. If you're going to be away for more than a week, or if your posting speed is going to be down, please post in the absences board so we know. If you just disappear for two weeks without a notice, your account will be deleted.

V. 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, then google Mary-Sue and take the tests that come up!

VI. 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 with all that jazz.

VII. There is no character limit. I would appreciate if everyone could please try to keep the genders generally even though.

VIII. 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

I. When roleplaying, please keep in mind we have a minimum word count of 100 words. This is an intermediate to advanced site, so please keep that in mind when joining.

II. 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!

III. 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 overly powerful characters.

IV. If you want your character to die, or get pregnant, there are a few conditions. First, you must be an active roleplayer with at least 20 posts, not just in game threads and plotters. We will be checking. Second, if asking to get killed, you must have a willing roleplayer who will kill you. If you want your character to become pregnant, you need to have someone who will be the father; even if nobody know's who the father is.

VI. We do encourage the use of thread templates to make your posts look more attractive, but they're not necessary. However, using blockquotes at the least is very much appreciated. If you would like to get a template, a good site to try is CAUTION 2.0 or GS, though you do have to make an account to get the coding.

OOC

I. 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!

II. 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.

III. We understand that sometimes people simply clash and you don't get along. 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 Arguing OOC will not be tolerated.

GRAPHICS

I. Everyone must have either a signature or avatar, though both are better! People would like to know what your character looks like while roleplaying with them!

II. Maximum avatar size is 100x100.

III. Minimum signature is 300x200 and maximum is 400x400. Anywhere in between is fine.

IV. If you can make graphics, CAUTION and ATF are good sites to find pre-mades or to request some yourself!
