Main Rules
Note: These rules also go for the C-Box as well as the rest of the board.
Note: These rules also go for the C-Box as well as the rest of the board.
1. Respect and listen to all staff. That'd be the A.I.O. We have authority, and we will use it if need be.
2. We will not allow discrimination of any kind. This includes race, gender, age, sexual preference, and so on. Be kind to your fellow internet-addict.
3. Do not cause drama for the sake of causing drama. There will always be a plot going, so there is no reason for anyone to randomly "get bored" and decide to have their character do something extravagant.
4. Please keep the swearing to a minimum. We like to be vulgar at times, too, but the rest of the world does not appreciate reading about fornication every other word. Neither do we.
5. You can create and maintain no more than two separate accounts. Three is maximum if we're in a bind for canons, but give other people a chance to play them, too.
6. If you have not POSTED with your account in one month, it will be deleted. (Please note that even if you have just logged into the site in the past month, the account will still be deleted.) If you know that you will be gone for a long period of time, please alert the A.I.O. through a PM, and we will not delete your account.
7. Don't hesitate to come to us with any questions, concerns, or suggestions. We're here to help!
Role-playing Rules
1. Please be literate, if you can help it. It is extremely hard to read someone who types lyk d1s cuz its rele hard 2 reed.
2. Any out-of-character should be put in two sets of parentheses. For example: ((Hey, I've got to go!)) Please keep these to a minimum, however - that's what PMs and the C-box are for.
3. Every post should be in paragraph form, using quotation marks for speech. Example:
Any other form of text decoration (color, bold, italics and whatnot) is purely up to you.
Please note that there is no minimum to how much you should post. This means that you may post as little or as much as you'd like! We only ask that you be considerate of those who take a longer time to post -some people enjoy typing up long posts, and it sometimes becomes frustrating to be left behind in the dust by people who are posting less or quicker.
We do allow one liners, since even the admin are forced to do it at some point. We realize that some people may not be able to churn out enormously long posts like some others can, but we do encourage you to post at least a paragraph. A paragraph can be anywhere from four to seven sentences - sometimes longer, depending on the length of the sentence.
4. Always say when you enter or exit a room.
5. No killing, torturing, or severely injuring of anyone without their express consent, as well as the A.I.O.'s. Murder is a part of this RPG, but people tend to get pissed if they devoted hours upon hours to a character, only to have them knocked off the first chance the killer gets.
6. ABSOLUTELY NO suicides or rape. Your account WILL be deleted and banned, with no second chances on this one. You will not be allowed to return.
7. If your character and another's character would like to take things to the next level in intimacy, please use the method of fading out to black or something similar. Do not go into detail, as I'm pretty sure we all know where everything goes.
8. Lastly, please no engagements, pregnancies or anything along those lines. This also means no wedding plans, no eloping and no pregnancy scares as well. Drugs are also against the rules. Don't do it. It's bad for your health.
9. HAVE FUN!
11. Where'd 10 go?
12. Sign below so we may know that you've read the rules and you understand them.
13. If I may make a request, sign below with something funny. Or witty. Or, generally anything that will amuse us. Photos work, too. No, it's not mandatory, but we probably already know your name, thanks.
