1. General Rules
-This site's number one purpose is Roleplaying. Other discussions are allowed, as long as they are in the appropriate boards.
-This site is PG, although I will occasionally tolerate PG-13. Keep the swears to a minimum, and bear in mind that certain words will not show up if you post them.
-Fighting is to be kept on PM ONLY. I don't want any skirmishes in the threads or cbox.
-Harassment is not tolerated.
-Be respectful towards staff. They are chosen because they are trustworthy members, not because we like them better, as some people may think. They're here to help you. PM or email me if you have a problem with one of them.
II. Cbox Rules
-The cbox is a PRIVILEGE. Trust me, if there's any abuse of the fact that we've got live chat here then it'll be gone faster than you can say 'cbox'.
-As I've said before, no fighting. Keep that to PM.
-Spam will result in a warning.
-It is possible to ban certain IP adresses from the cbox. Enough said.
-I'm more lenient toward language in the cbox, but still keep it PG-13.
III. Roleplaying
-No rolplaying unless your character has been accepted. Period.
-Chatspeak in roleplay is rude, annoying, and not tolerated. Sorry.
-There is no required post length, but please make it acceptable and more than just a line. Would you want to put a lot of work in a post and then get '"OMG HAHA LOLZ" said {insert character here}' as a reply? Because I know I wouldn't.
-Dead threads are at least a month old, unless specified. Please don't post in them, because it's unlikely you'll get a response.
-Your character can be in multiple threads at a time, it is allowed.
-RP Tutoring is available for those who need help.
-No god-moding. (When your character is completely invincible and unable to be beaten, or when you take complete control over another character)
-No Powerplaying. (When something your character does affects another person's without giving them a chance)
IV. Characters
-Post your character bio under the 'Character Bios' board and wait for it to be accepted.
-When accepted, it will be moved to the appropriate sub board.
-There is no limit to your amount of characters, but if I see inactivity you will be asked to play them or get rid of them.
-If someone else is taking over your character for whatever reason, make sure I know.
-Mary-Sues and Gary-Stus are frowned upon with good reason.
V. Avatars and Signatures
-Obviously, the maximum avatar size is 100x100.
-Avatar and signature pictures must be appropriate.
-It would be nice if you had some info about your characters in your signature.
VI. Marriage and Birth
-If your characters are getting married, please PM a staff member to let them know.
-Please spare us, and do not roleplay out how babies are made. We all know they don't come from the stork, but this site is not the place to do that.
-Either one child or twins can be born at one time. A family can have any number of children, though. PM me if you really want to have triplets. No more than that, though.
-You must wait at least two weeks before your child is born.
-Characters will most likely die of old age around the age of 70-80, but this can vary.
-Random disasters can cause death.
-If your character is to die in fighting, you must be okay with it. No other player can kill your character off without your consent.
-Sickness is another cause of death.
VIII. Plots, Disasters, and Surprises
-These can be random, and will be posted on the notice board.
-Plots affect the entire forum, while surprises and disasters may affect only certain people.
-If you feel that something that happened to your character was unfair, PM a staff member.
XI. -Now, just to make sure you read these thoroughly, there is a hidden phrase somewhere in here. Certain letters are underlined, put them together in order to find it.
-When you have discovered the codeword, please put it in your first character bio. It will be edited out by whoever accepts it.
-This site is for everyone to enjoy, so please help make this a great roleplaying experience for everyone!
-If you want to take anything off this site, please contact me first for permission.
