general rules .
[x] age according to proboards rules and regulations all members of a board must be thirteen years of age, and this to is our rule . this is for the fact that there may be mature scenes in our roleplay that thirteen year olds can not view, as well as to keep in terms with proboards . while mature theme occur, anything with R rating should thus be noted with a warning, we want the site user friendly to all ages eligible .
[x] no god modding/power playing/ etc this means, you are not allowed to move, kill, or say another characters doing something without approval by the other player . if you are moving an npc for an occasion, this is fine, but don't move another player's character .
[x] correct spelling and grammar churning winds is a multi-paragraph/novella role play site. as such, we request proper spelling and grammar. it is understandable once or twice though out the post, but not through out .
[x]posting length as stated in the above segment, we are a multi-paragraph/novella role play. we support roleplayers from beginner to advanced, but even so we request that each post contains eight sentences at least. no one liners will be accepted .
[x]flaming do not, and i repeat, do not flame players. what is flaming? this is cursing them out, name calling, picking fights, etc. please be civil out of character so we can all get along fine .
[x] ooc in the in character/ role play boards, do not post out of character. there are separate boards just for this, and a cbox, there should be no need to post ooc in role play boards. small notes at end of posts as your character is fine, but not a post out of character entirely .
character creation .
[x] all characters must have a profile with what they look like, a personality outline, and a history attached . the application is the profile template to work on that you use to get accepted . do not post half-done or work in progress applications as they will not be accepted. save it on your hard drive and post it when done.
[x] no mary-sues this means, your character can't be perfect or invincible . it is true, most characters in this role play will have an endowment-- but no more then one [or in case of likeliness to manfred] and not want that can't be trumped . after all, our characters are humans just as we, and we're not at all invincible . so neither should they be .
[x] characters carrying cannon names if you wish to have your character be related to a cannon, to carry their name, please notice an admin before you create your character . depending on the rarity of the name, or the reasoning behind it is the way you'll be able to use said name.
[x]face claim and names every character must carry different names and models for their faces . this means no alterations of a name . like tiffany or tiffani . tony or toni. all models must also be real people, no anime/cartoon/manga/drawing as a character face will not be accepted. it may also not be used twice, though in the case of twins this is lifted, and must fit about the right age. you know what kids look like, don't make them look twenty just because you like the pb.
[x]character creation limits you are encouraged to make characters, make as many as you want really. when you first join you can automatically make two characters, but before you are allowed to make a third both characters must have fifty in game posts . while you are encourage to make characters, don't make ten and only post as three . if you wish to get rid of your character, don't just delete but write them out. and makes the role play smoother .
[x] one character per account and your display name must be the characters first and last name. that's display name, the one that you can change in your profile. you can have whatever you want as your log in name.
[x]post in third person we request you do not write in first person which uses pronouns such as : i, my, mine. when in character write in third person in past tense like : mary K walked down the hall, forgetting the rules to be quiet, and humming lightly under her breath .
[x]be active we request you post once at least every two weeks, this is so we know you're active . if you are unable to please pm id:admin or post in the absent forum to let us know. if not informed, and we contact you to no response, your character will be deleted .
[x]we rp in a time shift system this means that a day and time will be set, and it's the universal day through out the board . we request you do not create your own topics, but use the ones already put out. when a time shift ends [which will happen ever 10-14 days] new threads will be put up and the old ones should not be accessed again by posting . this is to keep the time line moving.
[x]signify who you are posting to in the thread as there will be many people in the thread, this is to make it easier to find who you are speaking to. when posting click "add reply" and edit the subject line to say something along the lines of :
attn : sam
OR
attn: drama students
change it to whoever you're addressing, quite simply. if your name is not in the attn notice, do not jump in with your character without prior permission. for players could have spent time plotting what is happening in their posts, and another character may mess things up.
[x] characters can not be in two different places at once this is because, let's say your character is getting beat up and kissing someone in the other. this will cause complications to future plots for yourself. to make it easier for the readers, and yourself, include a note at the end of your post if your character is moving else where such as :
[entering boys dorms]
[x] do not create your own ic thread as said before, the threads are created for you to keep in the time line. if there happens to be one missing in a certain area in which you wish to post, inform an admin and they will make one
and we roll down .
[x]if there are any rules that you are unclear on, or if you have any questions, please contact one of the staff who will be happy to help out.
[x] have fun! this is the first and foremost thing we ask. role play isn't about stressing yourself, but playing and having fun . these rules are made to help guide us to have a better, and easier time . now go out, grab a sucker, fill out an application, get accepted and enjoy yourself !
