*Please note that this board is rated 13+ please do not join if your writing skills are below that of a 13+ level.* Rules 1. Please try to refrain from major cursing outside of the RP. Cursing is allowed in the RP forums themselves, but try to make sure it stays tasteful. Don't have your character be cursing every other word. 2. In the RP sections, posts should be at least 3 lines long. We do have a story going on here and if any posts are that short, there must be no point to them. We want every post to be important, but if they don’t pertain to the storyline at hand, you may receive a message from an admin or moderator asking you to edit the post so that it is relevant. In addition, posts should be in 3rd person, and should be grammatically correct. To go along with the story aspect of the RP, all posts must be in the past tense. So if you stumble upon one of your posts and it seems different spelling/tense-wise, it was probably me. 3. Please keep all drama between the characters and in the RP sections. Any fighting caught outside of the RP will result in a week-long ban from any parties involved. 4. All characters should be 18 or older. Anything younger than that wouldn't necessarily be legal in the sense of the RP. There is no limit on how many characters you can have, but I would request that you try to keep each of your characters as active as possible. We don't want to be taking up a canon spot with a character who hardly gets used. 5. You absolutely MAY NOT play for another character unless I, or another moderator (who must contact me), is notified by that person that you may do so. If the person is going away and has not posted in the “Absences” thread themselves and you know that they are leaving, please leave a post in there for them with the information we request and say that they gave you permission to play their characters. Playing for another person without their permission can result in being banned from the site. 6. Your character must have a profile posted in the "City Records" section before posting. If we find you in violation of this, we will warn you and delete any posts you make until you put up the character’s profile. Also, we're anti-Mary Sue, John Smith. People aren't perfect and neither is your character! 7. Post in forums that your character would actually be allowed to go to. For example, if you are a contestant, unless the plot calls for it or your character is a student, do not go to SCAD and post there. 8. Please, keep the icon and signature pictures clean. No nudity. Rude gestures and such are fine, just not horribly distasteful! 9. Each character is to have a DIFFERENT actor/actress/model/singer/musician as their play-by. If a user is inactive and has the actors/actress/model/singer/musician you wish to use for your character, you may contact me or another admin (who must contact me) and request to use the same person. Please post who your face claim is in the face claims section. In addition, signature sizes should not exceed 500x500. Icons should be 150x250. *If you have a picture, but do not want or know how to make a signature/icon, you can request one in the "Member Chat" section. 10. Your account name MUST be the same name as your character. No regular forum names. (I.E. HarryPotterRox or Evans601). Any account set up as such will be deleted. Please have it be in all lower case letters (I.E. briana noelle miller) 11. You may play a main canon character. Please note, though, that if you do not see a canon on our available canons list, it does not mean that you should add them by signing up as one and telling me about it later. You may sign up as one of our current available canons and then PM me to request another canon, but don't just add someone on. Sometimes a canon might not be on the list for a reason. 12. You may make threads that involve sexual content. You may choose to either fade to black or go into full detail. If you choose the latter, you MUST put a warning in the title or tags of the thread. Virgin eyes should stay that way; no unexpected shows for them. 13. Please try your best not to use all characters that you've had on previous sites with us before. We like new things; they're shiny and fun. You get to explore different possibilities with new characters. If you are using a character that you've previously used on another site, please try to make them a bit different than you normally have them. This is a new site; it's fun, it's fresh. We don't want to keep using all of the same characters over and over again. That's how boards die, children! 14. If you are going to give your character a specific character trait or plot device, please be sure you actually use it and research it well enough so that you have an understanding of it. For example, don't say that your character has leukemia and then not mention it ever (though I will admit that I've been guilty of this, so I know that everyone has done so at one point). 15. Have fun! Edited by BRINANNER, Jun 24 2011, 02:32 PM.
