(THE RULES)

The title is really self explanatory.. Yeah, you need
to read this stuff. I know it can be a big pain, but I promise I'll
make it quick. Make sure to get everything otherwise the admins
will be hot on your heels and you do not want that!

(ACTIVITY)[/color][/b]
[/font]
If you plan to join and ditch then turn your little booty around
right now! Seriously, it's just plain lame when someone joins and
never even submits an application.. I'm a bit of a freak
when it comes to activity, so don't just think that you can use
this site as a place to go every two weeks when boredom hits!
We want dedicated people, so don't join if you aren't going
to be committed. Now I know that a bunch of you
have school, work and actual lives to lead, even me, so I am not going
to demand that you come on every day, but at the very least
a few times a week!

Especially if you play a canon
activity is really important.. Okay, activity is not just logging in, it
is ACTUALLY posting something! OOC or roleplay, I don't really
care.. just post something! No muse? Let's face it people, it's a
bit of a lame excuse. Write through it and you'll be back on track
in no time.. Absences. I'm really flexible if you have to go away, as
long as you PM an admin or post in the correct board with a
warning, so we're prepared for your momentary absence XD.

Cookies to you if you sign up! - cough - ahem. Back to business.
In the sign up area you will find
the application. Fill it out CORRECTLY and with CARE or I will go
Death Eater on you! Nah, just kidding;P.. but seriously, spend
a few extra moments to make your character interesting and
unique. Need help? Ask! Honestly, we don't bite. Unless you
really want us to. Once you have
submitted an application, don't PM and admin about acceptance.

Period. Just don't. Give us 24 hours to get around to it before
even thinking it. We all have real lives to lead, so be patient.
PS: You can have as many characters as you want and can
handle. Just don't hog all the canons! One character per account.

We are a literate site, but accept members of just about any
level of experience. Just note that even those new to RP can
post at least one decent paragraph! The admins have got hawk
eyes and we will not tolerate one liners or two liners or three liner
etc. One decent paragraph per rp post. Its not much to ask, so be
nice and use your brains and creativity!

Also, even short post can
look a heck of a lot better if you use some nice coding, and images
to make it look really sleek and polished.
Regarding chat talk. It's fine in the ooc boards
as long as people can actually understand what it is your are trying
to say, but don't use it in roleplay threads! Period. Also, all rp's are
to be written in third person. It's just really strange when people
roleplay from the characters own point of view. Third person please.

Powerplaying / Godmodding: This is not allowed especially if there is no consent or consultation with the other player you are roleplaying with. What is powerplaying / godmodding you ask? It is posting what the other character (a character that is not your own) is doing. For example. Isaiah punched Damon in the face and Damon fell flat on his ass. Got it? Good.

(GRAPHICS)[/color][/b]

Graphics rule the world, and are basically awesome in every single way!
You must have both a signature and icon for your character so that we
can get a really nice look at how this person is appearance wise. I
shouldn't have to say this, but no pornographic, or nude material in
any graphics or pictures you post on this site!!! Don't stretch the
boards with your images either, okay?

If you do, it will be taken down
and you will receive a nice little PM that explains that your signature
or whatever has been taken down because of nananana..
Now, regarding face claims. The staff will hold a face claim for up to
seven days, but no longer. There is no discussing this as we can't hold
a face claim for weeks if the person has ditched. No two people can
use the same play-by unless they are twins or relatives. No exceptions.

Whew! I think that's it. Sorry, that took a lot longer than planned, but
I believe that I got everything covered. Any questions, as always
just PM a staff member and we will happily help you out. It's what we're
here for! XOXO. STAFF.
