the fancy rules:
simple enuff.[/center]
1. Respect your fellow players. Don't go bad-talking about anyone or their characters. Don't start unnecessary drama, etc. etc. I mean, seriously, if you don't get this rule, you're too immature to join. Just because someone's character doesn't do exactly what you want, doesn't mean that person doesn't like you. It's just what their character would do - so back off.
2. No godmodding or powerplay. Your character is not all-powerful. If someone throws a fish at their head, and this person has decent aim, it's probably gonna hit. Also, unless you have permission from another player to control their character, do not do it.
3. This is an R-rated site. That means there is going to be sex, drugs, cursing, murders, and all kinds of not-so-savory things going on. Since, unlike R-rated movies, we are allowing players as young as fourteen to join, please put a warning on any specifically explicit threads. Pregnancy is allowed, but only if approved by an admin. We don't want a bunch of crazy ass babies running around. But, if this isn't your cup of tea, please leave now.
4. 400 word posting minimum. Third person, past tense. Trust me, it's not too hard to do. And, well, isn't this relatively straight-forward? Oh! And please do check your spelling, etc. And absolutely no chat speak!
5. Five characters per person, initially. If you wish to have more than five characters, you must ask an admin for permission, and you must be very active. Also, admins have the right to limit the characters which are accepted. If there are too many female vampires, we have the right to stop the madness. Catch my drift?
6. Characters. Make them believable. Angels will not be gay. Fallen angels, yeah sure. Men will not get pregnant. This may be a supernatural site, but not everything is possible. Also, as for sexuality, go for whatever you want! Just, not everyone is gay and not everyone is straight; let's have some variety, okay?
7. Display name. Your display name must be your character's name, first and last, all letters capitalized. None of this 'i'm so sexy123443' shit, kay? ;P
8. Advertising. Only advertise on the advertising board, mkay? You don't want the wrath of the admins coming at you. Because we can be scary. Rawr.
9. Absences. If you are going to be absent for any period of time, please make a post on the, surprisingly original name, absences board. If we hear nothing from you or your character for three weeks, you will be deleted.
10. Be original. Do not copy a celebrity's name, another person's character, or another character's name. It's just not cool.
11. Application process. Before your application is accepted, do not post anywhere else on the board (as your character and no claiming anything -- reservations are fine!). Also, no posting your application until it has been completed unless you have to/it helps you work on it. But, I would prefer if you didn't if at all possible. It makes the board look messy in my opinion.
12. Character Representation. Your avatar must be your character's face. Your signature should also have to do with your character.
13. Chat Box. Of course, please be respectful in the chat box. Anyone--potential, pending, or accepted members--can post in the primary OOC chatbox on the side of the page you see now, but only established members in the IC box, if you please. The link to the IC box is underneath the primary box, and it will open in a new window. Also, both boxes are avatar compatable; to add an avatar, just put the direct link to the picture in the space marked "email/url." It's as easy as that! Your OOC avatar can be just about anything, but please make sure your IC avatar is actually your character, to avoid confusion.
14. Admins have the final say. Uhh... Yeah, that's obvs.
15. HAVE FUN! This is, obviously, the most important rule of all. It's just a game, and games are meant to be fun, right? Trust me, we're all friendly, we just like to pretend we're intimidating. xD
