THE RULES
first of all ,
take a look around the site, ask questions if you have any
then if you decide to join us, make sure you register with a first
and last name all in LOWERCASE please.
we won't mind changing your name if you made a mistake,
but its just less hassle if you get it right first time okay.
as popular as 'no app' sites are, we are not one of them.
we do expect an application to be filled out before you start
roleplaying. our application template is really simple and is
mainly judged on your responses to the interview questions, so
remember to stay in character.
please, please, please, please, please, please
do not bug us admins about accepting you. we both have lives,
school, busy days. we will get to it as soon as possible.
we're usually quite efficient with accepting you, but
if we're not, just wait patiently. don't worry we'll
definitely get to you! Also, do not harass the other members,
it's a firm kick in the boot as punishment. And it'll hurt. A lot.
there's no limits on how many characters you can
have, however, canons need to remain active and so do your
own originals, so we ask that you have at least five
quality posts in character with your latest character before
you go off and make a new one. so if your going to have
multiple characters make sure you keep them all active!
we do want to keep the character ratios appropriate,
though, so if you're going to take multiple characters,
please make sure you have an equal number of males and
females. there is no limit at the moment to female's, but
this ratio will not be one that will go over. So be warned.
canons and originals are accepted. we'd love our canons
to be all filled up. however, originals are definitely, if not
more so welcomed than anything!
if you do have any questions, please ask. we don't bite!
Well Dee does, but it's more a nibble than anything : )
your characters & posting ,
no one's perfect. not everyone has rich parents, jaw
dropping looks, is really smart and really popular.
remember, your imperfections are your perfections!
so, yes, that means no mary-sue's or gary-stu's!
also? no angsty-sues. what is that? it's an over dramatized
character that we don't want. if your character has been raped
by her father then you best be the type of person who can role
play that out seriously and not make it over the top. it's offensive
and so basically, if you have a dark past then you're honestly
going to have your character scrutinized much more critically than
any of the more average characters. not all of us watched our family
murdered before our very eyes, okay?
now powerplay/godmodding. that means taking control of
someone else's character. come on, thats so old school now
right? you should know that!
PAST TENSE FTW! seriously. no first person other than in
the games section and application. if there is
i'll release the hounds.
no one liners.
please post in paragraphs. paragraphs are five - ten lines.
can you count? i can. if i see anyone posting silly three
line paragraphs, i'll be a bitch and say your illiterate xP
kidding, if your post is made up entirely of paragraphs made
from one lines? it just won't be cool : (
spelling & grammar. use a spell check, pretty please?
although this board is advanced, i'm very understandable
that everyone has to start somewhere. some people post
eight paragraphs, others three. don't feel intimidated.
we'll love you all the same (:
if you have a douchebag character? that's super! if you
are a douchebag character? then pretend you're
not. it's the internet, it shouldn't be that hard to
pretend to be nice.
no chatspeak. i want to say at all...its so 2008.
but in im threads i'll let you off.
graphics ,
the only playbys we don't accept are random
myspace or vampirefreaks people. thats just not cool man.
i know everyone loves using blake lively, sophia bush,
leighton meester and the rest, but please. just because
your favourite playby is gone doesn't mean you shouldn't
give this site a chance! there's plenty of people to plot with!
if you need playby help for an original don't hesitate
to ask the people in the cbox for assistance. we're always
happy to help with that stuff, as well as name help!
If you PM Ren she may even link you to a site for
faceclaims. she's just that awesome. :3
graphics for your signature, yes, i know not everyone has
a graphics program. but do not spam people in the cbox, just
make a request and wait for it to be filled.
for graphics sizes we ask that icons are no icons smaller than
100x100 and there are no signature size max's. Just don't have
a bunch of banners!
if someone does make you something, its only polite
to credit them in your INTERESTS or right below
the signature : )
if you can't find an icon that matches either given size
then just tell the us admins and we'll make one for
you so long as one image is provided. you
can find images all over. there's tinypic, photobucket
and a hecka lot more places.
and don't steal someone's graphics. thats definitely
not cool
cbox rules ,
talk to us!
seriously. that is a rule.
come and talk to us!
(:
don't be rude or start bashing people.
no stupid derogatory comments.
just be nice, its not that hard!
don't character monger. thats what the wanted
boards are for, fool.
do not spam it. that sucks, for reals. spams
also blocked, so yeah. just don't try.
the beautiful ending ,
do not be annoying
i bet your thinking what kind of crack pot rule is that
but its a serious one. i do not want to see people getting
constantly pm'd to roleplay or plot - its annoying.
and i definitely do not want to see people nagging about
a graphics request they've made, or a character they need.
seriously guys. its just annoying and not cool.
respect the admins. seriously guys.
BOW DOWN TO US
we made this place, put a lot of hard work and time into
it, time that could've been spent sexing xD
just respect us, its not hard.
this is a mature rated board. so if you don't own a tv
and have no idea what sex is or what alcohol is or what
drug abuse is, this isn't the board for you.
here we have a bunch of crazy teens (and teachers!)
in a 'prestigious boarding' school a lot of mature stuff
is going to happen. if you like that
stuff then your a pervert in the right place!
remember though to tag your threads with a rating
if there's toooo hardcore of language or sex. please.
oh, if you're one of those people who only plot with
people that are in the same tv show or movies as your
characters playby then please grow up. there's nothing
wrong with hayden pattinere being the fuck buddy of
daniel radcliffe. i mean jeez, we're not all snobs right?
i understand photo opportunities are cool but broaden
your horizons a bit. we can always make you a manip ; )
LAST ONE NOW!
HAVE A LOTS OF FUN.
thats what roleplaying is after all. a hobby.
SO HAVE FUN!
