Rules 6/26/08

Note:Rules are always subject to change. Occasionally there may make updates and take down or add new rule. Check back regularly and read them carefully.

rping

No Flaming or typing in all capital letters. The art of "Flaming" is extremely rude, and insulting and its really annoying to look at. Do not do this to a character publicly or behind the scenes by yelling at them. If you must yell in posts do it like this:
"Thats so rude!"yelled Kallie.
If you have a problem, calmly discuss it with them and if the discussion does not help then contact an admin.

No god-moding. God-moding is defined by: whenever an rp takes over another character's actions against their will. God-moding is also the act of assuming your character's actions (such as attacking, hitting, punching, kicking, ect) will hurt them without giving the other person a chance to respond. There are extremely few exceptions to this rule and the Admin will destide when the exceptions will take place.

If you are caught god-moding, you will be asked to change your post. If you do not other measures will be taken.

Execption: Have the person who you used this offense against to send the administrator a personal message saying that you had permission.

When creating a character, be sure to use the format provided.

Ultimate powered characters will not be allowed. We will allow strong characters such as the rich/exclusive group in this town, but everyone has a weakness weither is physical or mental or emotional. No one can be god, indestructible or have complete contol over everything that goes on.

After your application has been placed, it could take a while for it to be responded to. So please dont expect it to done as soon as you hit post. We will try to respond as soon as we can, but the admin has a life and have other things to deal with too, so please wait it out.

Do not plagiarize your writing, including average posting or applications. Be orginal with your characters. Plagiarism is defined as: considered taking someone else's work and claiming it as your own. We will not accept applcations that are too sterotypical.

When posting, please be descriptive and use the proper role-playing methods: Always type in past tense, third person, use italics for thoughts, bold italics for under your breath comments, and "quotes for speech." Posts should be at decent lengths( at least two paragraphs), a few short posts are fine but don't make it a habit. We do not have a word minimum, if we see that it is necessary one will be added.

We do not have a character limit, but you must post with each of your characters regularly. I find that 1-3 are easiest to handel. We require that you post at least 3 times (3 posts) with your character a month.But No more than two characters per an account.

You may role-play almost. Everything that has to do with this time period. If you deside to post anything above a pg13 rating do me a favor and put a censor on the thread telling everyone it is mature.
If someone is going to be killed alert one of the administrators as soon as possible. Do not follow through with things like death and birth without our permission.

Try to use correct grammar and punctuation. Its one of my flaws, so i go a lot easier on people wioth this rule. Correct grammar may not be used is while a character is speaking in an accent of some sort.

The plot will not be changed by anyone but the Administrators (which is just me for now). We will take suggestions and consider them, but if we do not want them in the plot, they won't go there. No other administrator will be allowed to change or edit the plot either.

Signatures

Your signatures are not aloud to be super huge. Now sizes differ from computer to computer so as long as it's not running off the page or you have to scroll left to right it's fine. If you are warned you though please change it.

No unwanted bodyparts in pictures. Your signture will be takendown.
