Rules
001. This is the most important rule. Respect. Here, respect is a huge thing. Respect everyone; the staff, the members, the guests, everyone.
002. When registering, you can sign up using any name, though we'd prefer it if you kept it simple and similar to your display name. As soon as you're registered, change your display name to your characters name, such as: Elena. Punctuation in your display name is allowed. Numbers are not allowed in display names. Just the name, please.
003. If you've posted a character application, you have five days to complete it. The applications aren't too long or too hard, so it shouldn't take that long to finish. If you're going to be away and won't be able to finish your application within the allotted time, either PM a staff member or post on your app to say so. If you haven't finished your app after five days, it will be deleted. You do not have to make a character application, but you do have to make your claims.
004. If you're going to be away for more than a week, or if your posting speed is going to be down, please post in the absences board so we know. If you just disappear for two weeks without a notice, your account will be deleted and your character will be up for grabs.
005. Nobody's perfect and neither is your character. When applying, please give your characters flaws and whatnot. If you want to make sure your character isn't a perfect character, or a Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu, then google Mary-Sue and take the tests that come up!
006. This is a PG-13 site, as stated by Proboards ToS. We allow some swearing, but no sex scenes etc. Just fade to black and all that jazz.
007. There is no character limit. You have to alternate every character, unless given permission from staff that says you don't have to alternate genders. For every guy you make, the next character has to be a girl. For every girl you make, the next character has to be a guy. This keeps gender rations even. Get it? Good.
008. When roleplaying, please keep in mind we have a minimum word count of 50 words. This is semi-literate to literate site, so please keep that in mind when joining.
009. Liquid time is allowed here. That means you can be in as many threads in as many different times at one that you want to!
010. No god-modding or power-playing. You should all know what this means, so I won't go into depth about them, but basically no controlling the other person's character and no all powerful characters.
011. If you want your character to die, there are a few conditions. First, you must be an active roleplayer with at least 50 posts, not just in game threads and plotters. Also, if asking to get killed, you must have a willing roleplayer who will kill you. This roleplayer cannot be you, obviously. This will need to be roleplayed out, as well.
012. As with graphics, please, please, please, do not stretch the board. No one wants to scroll the board just to see your whole signature pic. Same with avatars, so not make them extremely large. The maximum width for signatures are 600, and height is fine.
~The staff will add rules as we choose we must.
