The Rules.
The AbsolutesAbsolutely NO God-modding. This means that if it is not your character, you do not get to determine what he or she does. Helpful tip: if you're not sure, DON'T DO IT.
Out of Character Fighting. We all love a little drama, but let's keep it between characters, okay? Handle your conflicts maturely; talk things out in PM. Failing that, PM an admin, and we will gladly help. If it comes down to throwing insults publicly, you may be banned. The Generals
These are the rules that are pretty basic, but there are exceptions. Basically, if you have an objection to one of these, PM an admin, and we will discuss it.Numbers. There is no technical limit to the number of characters you may play. However, the characters you take may not be in the same family or subplot as one another. Which means, keep it down to a reasonable number. If you can handle five characters, go ahead. But if it gets up in the double digits, you might be receiving a PM asking what's going on. You may be in as many threads at one time as you like.
Activity. Stay active! That means if you're going to be gone for more than a couple of days, post in the away thread. Try to get on every day or two, just so the people you're posting with don't get frustrated or stuck, but we all understand the real life trumps rpland.
Thread Tags. If a thread is marked "open" or left blank, that means the creator doesn't mind if you join in the thread. If there is a tag or anything including a person's name in the description slot, that means it is a closed thread, and you should ask permission before joining.
Posts. All posts should be in third person, past tense, for simplicity's sake. There is no set length for the posts, but do reciprocate. Meaning, if the person you're posting with is giving you three paragraphs, you shouldn't be returning with three sentences.
Drastic Events. We all know that rapes, pregnancies, and various other things do happen. But we have a special way of dealing with them here. A couple of these types of things will be part of the subplots, so if you're wanting something along those lines to happen go check there to see if one is open. The only other way this will happen to your character is if it is rolled in one of our events. The Basics
This is the simple stuff. There's really no reason to argue with any of this, it's very cut-and-dry.Creating a Character. Register with your character's first and last name in ALL CAPS. Post applications in the application forum. You cannot reserve a face claim, rules for reserving canons are on the canon list. Remember to pick a play-by that matches your character's age. I don't want sixteen and seventee year olds playing 1st years. The same goes the other way around. No teenagers playing adults. No Mary Sues. Make your character three-dimensional, because after all, no one is completely one-sided.
Rating. This site is rated R. This means that sex, drugs, violence, and anything else you want to put in is welcome. The catch? Put a "mature" warning label on the thread. This can be on the first post, or, if it takes an unexpected turn, at the top of the first post in which anything graphic happens. It MUST be obvious. Don't like graphic scenes? Don't read them. Don't write them.
Graphics Guidelines. Each character must have at least one graphic associated with it. This makes it easier for other players to visualize what's going on. The graphic must include an image of your character. Avatars are 100x100, signatures are no larger than 500x250. No more than two rows of four 100x100 avs in your signature, or 2 200x200 (ish) avs. Basically, don't stretch the board. If you stretch the board you'll recieve a PM asking you to use smaller graphics. If you need help making graphics, there is a graphics request thread located in the OOC forum. Also, NO STEALING! If the artist asks you to credit, then credit. If the artist doesn't ask you to credit, that's fine, but don't go telling people you made it yourself. That's lying, copyright violation, etc. and it's just bad.
Advertising. Should be kept to the appropriate forum. Discussion of other sites in the Cbox is one thing. Saying "go visit my site" will result in annoyed admins (see rule #1). Instead of putting a link to your site in your conversation, say, "My site is <name here>. Go look in the advertisement forum." Follow directions, post where appropriate, and we'll all be fine.
Changes. May occur at any time. We, the admins, have the right to update these rules. We will inform you at the time, but still make sure you scan these every once in awhile. Thanks for reading, and happy role-playing! If you've made it this far please write long live the dark lord in your app
