BASIC RULES // INFO
[/size][/u][/center][/size][/u][/center]
*This site rating is PG-13. Swearing is allowed but don't get out of hand with it. You're characters can have sex but please fade to black.
*PM and admin if you are wanting to have your character pregnant or die. You must be able to go through with this. That means a full 9-month term and a stay-dead death.
*Prior knowledge of your characters nations is expected. If you don't know anything please resort to google or wikipedia.
*There will be no flaming of other members, guests, or websites. Be kind to others.
*We are an ADVANCED roleplay. Minimum of 400 word posts. Good grammar is expected.)APPLICATION
*One account per character, even if twins I want to see separate accounts. It helps to make things less confusing.
*Try to use PBs that will look like where your character came from. (I.E. Asian actor to an Asian character) If they are mixed it might be considered if they look a bit different. As in an Asian-american looks more american then Asian.
*Do not assume that your character knows or is on friendly terms with another character already on the site. Please ASK the player of the character first! This means no bitter rivalries or close friendships or the like with previously-existing characters without their okay.
*Face claims must be age appropriate and we do not accept myspace, flickr or scene kids. REAL CELEBRITIES ONLY! There are plenty out there to choose from.
*As this is an advanced roleplay site we will be critical on applications. I don't like to see wimpy histories. The longer the better, it means you have actually given thought to your character. As stated on the application a minimum of 3 FULL paragraphs in third person are required to even be CONSIDERED for acceptance.
ACTIVITY
[/u][/center]*Please be active. This is important. If you have not posted anywhere from 3 weeks to a month without saying something about a leave of absence either on the board or to the staff, you will lose your character and have to reapply. We do not accept signing on one of your characters periodically as 'activity'. Staff has the right to deny re-acceptance.
POSTING // GAMING
[/size][/u][/center]*This entire site is in third person. He, she, they, etc. The only place or time we will accept first person is in journal entries. As such I do expect good grammar and do your best on spelling. Word processors like Microsoft Word can come in really handy for helping with this if you choose to use them. We are an advanced roleplay site and I expect a minimum of 400 words per post, except the first post of a thread, which can be 300. I don’t like to see tiny replies. And absolutely NO ONE LINERS!!
*No Godmoding. Also do not move another person’s character. Leave it open a little to give the other person a chance to accept the action or deny it. Also do not write movements for other characters that do not belong to you. Do not claim that So-and-so sat down, when he/she was clearly standing in their previous post.
*Threads listed as (Open) are free to anyone to enter into. HOWEVER, if the game has a few posts between two+ characters please ASK before joining. Other games with names tagged are meant ONLY for those listed. Please do not interrupt games.
GRAPHICS
[/size][/u][/center]*Signatures no larger than 500x400, you may have two picture banners as long as the height does not exceed 500 pixels. Avatars may be between 100x100 and 100x200.
*Avatars or Icons are required for the site, preferably a picture of your character. Banners are not required but strongly recommended. It gives other players a chance to see your character and is a good reference to what they look like instead of having to look it up. If you cannot make your own Icon or Banner, feel free to ask someone here to make you one. Go down to the Graphics Center for more information. Please give the artist proper credit too.
C-BOX
[/size][/u][/center]*In relation to the Cbox. It is there for us to talk and have fun. Please do not bring drama to the Cbox. Character drama is all fine because we all know it is not truly meant (though save this for the IC Cbox). Do not disrespect anyone, and let us keep language and subject matter to a PG level. If any staff member sees someone breaking this we will pull you aside in a private chat and ask you nicely to stop.
*I expect everyone to treat others with respect. This goes not for just in the Cbox but outside of the Cbox in games as well. Please keep all IC roleplay in the IC Cbox, and OOC chatter in its own Cbox.
FINE PRINT
[/size][/u][/center]*If I find any of these rules have been broken I will give you two warnings (and you’ll know when it is an actual warning as you will receive a nice long PM from Le Jackie), and on the third you are stripped of your character(s).
*The staff reserves the right to deny character applications we feel do not live up to expectations or simply do not follow the rules or instructions on the application.
*We also reserve the right to deny a player a spot on this site and the right to strip a player of a character(s) if we feel they are being disrespectful to us or to other players.
*Please respect your Admins.
*Rules are subject to change.[/blockquote][/font]
