Guidelines
General Rules
1. Your username must be a full name with a first name and a last name. It can't be SeverusSnape101 or Max or xxxXXSlytherin4everXXxxxx. It must be something like John Doe or Maximillian Cyrus.
2. If you register as a plot character, please follow the plotline we've given him or her. If you don't, we'll just remove your prievlege to use that character.
3. Respect other members, especially admins. If there's a problem, notify Staff. Don't deal with it yourself. It just causes more problems. I won't tolerate flaming or harrassment of any kind. I can get very mean about this. I have no tolerance for troublemakers, and if you start trouble I might have to put my voodoo dolls to good use.
Did you hear me? Be nice to admins because we own you here. We can control your mind! Okay not that. But still. You'd be stupid to cop an attitude with the admins.
4. Keep everything PG-13 or lower. Rated R topics need permission by ME. I'll delete any topic that is rated R that I haven't given permission to post. Cursing is allowed, but don't use it unneccessarily. I mean, unless you wanted to get your ass kicked, you wouldn't be greeting people with ''Wassup bitch'' or something equally stupid and insulting, would you?
5. Avoid topics like politics or sexuality and the lot. It just leads to fights.
6. No double posting! Wow, didn't expect that, now did ya?
7. OOC discussions are to be kept in OOC forums. PM the people if you want to discuss something about a RP.
Graphic Rules
1. Signature size shouldn't be huge. You can have up to 7 avatars in your sig, any more I'll take them down. No signatures that stretch out the page, please.
2. No nudity or offensive content in your avatar or signature. I'll take it down and warn you.
3. Follow the rules each graphic maker has in their own topic. If you don't like it, don't ask them to make you a graphic.
Advertising Rules
1. DON'T ADVERTISE YOUR FREAKING SITE ANYWHERE OTHER THAN THE PORKTEY SECTION. I MEAN IT. Flooders will be permanently banned and I will personally raise hell on you.
Character Rules
1. Yes, you can have multiple characters. The maximum, however, is three. Also, you cannot have another character without my permission. If you're found with a character without my permission, you'll be warned 20% and the secondary character will be deleted. Also, put the link to each of your characters in each of your characters siggy. =]
2. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS! The sorting form isn't written in Gaelic, I'm sure you can read it.
3. Plot characters are given to those whose application is BETTER. It's not a first come first serve basis unless applications are equally interesting and well written.
4. This is not a Harry Potter Roleplay, this is not a X-Men Roleplay, and no, it's not a Da Vinci Code roleplay either. It's an entirely new roleplay where most if not all characters are human and we'd like to keep it that way. The only exception to this rule is the Tainted group. They are the humans or at least, half humans that half special powers.
Posting/Roleplaying Rules
1. Post at least two paragraphs of text for In Character posts. Just think of the five senses and you'll have 8 lines in no time.
2. Use proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. I have no tolerance for posts that look like they've been written by a 4 year old.
3. No godmoding/powerplaying or Mary Sue-ing. You are not allowed to control other characters without their permission, and no one is a god, despite our many wishes.
4. Use the past tense, third person please. Thoughts of your character belong in italics as well.
5. Topics are open to anyone unless there is a [Tag: Character name] in the Topic Description. Do not interrupt a closed thread.
Proper Post:
Lily was walking down the empty corridor, blankly staring ahead. Sweat trickled down her delicate features and down her neck, making her increasingly uncomfortable in the stifling castle.
"Why the hell don't they have a temperature spell on the castle or something?!" she demanded to the air, exasperated.
Suddenly, a huge water balloon fell at her feet, the contents exploding over Lily's school robes. She looked up and grinned at Peeves.
"You know, you actually did something decent today, Peevsie!" Lily said, grinning at Peeve's shocked face. Apparently, he didn't realize the water he had thrown on Lily had been cold--the perfect remedy for a stifling day.
