-THE RULES-

T H E R U L E S

ONE - this rule is probably the most important in the whole set. respect the admins. we're not here to make you miserable, in fact we want the exact opposite. we made this site and we made it mainly so people like you could have a fun place to roleplay, so please don't insult or even bash us.

TWO - so number two is very similar to the first. respect your fellow roleplayers. we hate it when people take the rp fights to real life and start unnecessary arguments about whether or not your character did something that was justified. it's stupid and very immature. so please, keep the fights to the threads, no one wants to see them. and we don't want to deal with them.

THREE - when signing up for this site, you may register however you like. but, after you've figured out what your character's name is going to be, please change your display to the name all caps, like so: DAKOTA RILEY KINGSTON
it makes everything flow better and besides, it looks pretty <3

FOUR - this site does have a word count. and that number is 100 words. i don't want to go overboard for those new to roleplay. so that will be the limit, but we would like to ask that you at least try to match the word count of the person you're roleplaying with. if they stick you with a 1000+ word reply and you can't handle that, i'll understand. but don't just give them a dainty little two paragraph reply either. just try to match your rp partner's posts, that's all we ask.

FIVE - PERFECT MORTALITY is PG13 and please stick to that. that means, if you wouldn't read it to your thirteen year old brother or sister, don't include it. anything that does contain mature content will be deleted and the perpetrator will be punished. if you are going to include it in a plot, please just black out. and no details afterward describing how it was either.

SIX - now, about this little thing we love to call, the cbox. we would love it if you did the following. or, more or less, didn't do the following. do not spam, advertise in or bash the site/members of this site in the cbox. if it's a member that is doing this, we will confront you about it. if it continues, we will take action. all advertising should be done in the forum designated for advertising. and spamming, well it's just not nice. the cbox is there specifically for communicating with other members and guests. not for you random typing pleasures. the third part of this rule coordinates well with the second rule. if we find people harassing other members or even guests harassing members, we will do something about it. so just please, don't do it.

SEVEN - alrighty, first off... we're sorry these are so long! XD anyway, all ic posts should be typed up in third person and past tense, unless of course it's an ic game then it doesn't matter. but, we've seen some pretty weird things and third person just makes it so much easier for everyone, don't ya think?

EIGHT - NO GOD MODDING OR POWER PLAYING! if we find this, you will be punished accordingly. god modding is when you make yourself more powerful than you are. the species forms include your species' limitations so there are no excuses. power playing is when you take over someone elses' character. if this is by accident please just change the post when asked, don't argue.

NINE - onto those gorgeous graphics everyone loves so much. if you're having a signature, it may not exceed 400 pixels in width and 500 in height. what does this mean? you are not allowed to stretch the board! that's what that means. if it does we will change it for you. Avatars must be 100x100 or they can be 150x300.

TEN - before roleplaying in any way, you must first post your application. it's a bit long we know.... once your application is accepted you may make all of your claims. and we mean all of them, it takes five minutes and we don't want to hear you complain that someone stole your face when you should've just claimed it in the first place. claims do not go in order of profile acceptance, but whoever claims it first gets it.

ELEVEN - again, i'm sorry this is so long, but we promise the agony will be over soon... plot with people, if you see that someone has a plot request up and no one has replied to it, then you reply to it. one, it's a nice thing to do and who knows, you might just come up with an awesome plot. and two, it'll help draw new members in. if they see that people are willing to plot with others, well okay it won't automatically make them join. but it will help their decision.

TWELVE - before roleplaying you must create a character, obviously. you MUST use a species from the species list for every time you make a character. if you want to use your own species you must create it with the species template before creating your character. remember that if it is a private species you must PM the creator to get permission to use it.

THIRTEEN - anyone who has ever done improv, you should know this rule-yes, and... it means, if someone says, "and the car exploded" as long as it isn't saying the character died or whatever you say "omg, what the hell?" don't go "why are you freaking out? it's not like something exploded." you know what we mean? go with what the other person says. if you have a problem take it out in ooc. also, go with the site plot. don't pretend it isn't there, go ahead, make love plots and other plots that don't have anything to do with it, but don't play dumb. as well as that don't just reply to the persons post, add something for them to reply back to. this is just common sense!

TWELVE - this is a character-per-account site. do not post two different character on a single account unless the first has been deleted or killed.

FIFTEEN - last but not least, we admins reserve the right over the site. if we see something is wrong, we will fix it. it is not your job to deal with situations. yes if you see two people fighting an no one is around, sure be a peacemaker. but don't point out a broken rule, just pm a staff member and we will take care of it. also, we reserve the right to deny any application, delete any post or ban any member within good reason. of coarse we will not just ban you because we feel like it but, well just use common sense and you'll be fine.

SIXTEEN - this isn't really a rule, but we are not going to make you have a certain amount of boys and girls. we all know that some people cannot play the opposite gender or even their gender of character. just be active with all your characters please. if you feel you're able to, please do play both genders.

SEVENTEEN - make your signatures have something to do with the site or your character. If you want to put a one of those 'click this egg' that's fine, but don't have a random picture of a tree or something.

EIGHTEEN - you may have as many characters as you want, but don't go on a character making rampage and not be active with them. You may not make more than three characters in one day and so on, if you try to make a character and you are inactive with one of your other characters, we may ask you to either delete that character or become active with it.
