Site Rules
1) Try to be on at least once a month so that it helps the site going & plots with members but, remember it is not set that you are just more a requested that you try
2) If you want to play a canon character please cheek to see if the character is taken before you post an application for them. If there is an application for them & they are taken but, you are interested in playing them speak with a staff member so that it can be decided if you could do something like
Standing in tell the other main member gets back on
Or even take over the character all together, should it belong to some one that does not mind giving the role up because that have other accunts or that.
3) Treat all members with respect.
4) If someone upsets you please tell them first, nicely. Should it continue then please let one of the Admins know, and they will speak to them.
5) The cbox is for out of character comments. However, this does not mean that you cannot say 'I posted'; just don't start insulting each other. Unless you know the person well it could be taken the wrong way.
6) Please write at least 150 words or as much as you can to make it easier for other members to responded to your posts. This is not hard. It can be in actions or descriptions of what is going on around you (sounds or movement). Also, you can say how the sky looks. However, please just don't ramble on about the weather just because you need words. Relate it to your post somehow. The reason for this rule is that people need something to reply to.
7) Canon characters are not always easy to play, and each of us sees them differently. If you play one and are not sure if it sounds like something your character would say or do, please ask and the other members can give you their feedback.
8) Do not post inappropriate links here, and by inappropriate I mean porn and such. I have been on a few sites where there was a person that did this. Needless to say, it was not well taken by any.
9) You can make a post to say something to some one using (( )) but it is best to put it in your own post, if you make a separate post then please delete the post with the question or what ever that is out of charter.
10) No swearing. This does not mean you cannot blank something out like d**m. If something is said and someone is upset, you will be asked to reword it and the word will be posted in the rules of what can not be said.
11) Do not swear every other word. No one wants to hear that and few will put up with it. Try to be civil.
12) No god modding.
NO!
He swung his fist at her jaw and it broke the bone.
YES!
He swung his fist towards her jawbones, steeling himself for the impact.
Please leave it up to the other person to decide whether the blow hit or not. However, remember that no one is perfect and that we all will be hit sometime or other.
NO MARY-SUES OR GARY-STUS! Every character has a weakness, strength, skills & so on.
13) Students have to take at least one of each class every year. This will make those playing teachers have fun as well in doing what they love. No one likes an empty class.
14) There are two ways to move on to the next year as a student. One is to take one of every class each year and take the tests and pass. Or, two, you will take a test that will be given out, in which you will have to either answer multiple choice questions or look up the answers yourself.
15) Spelling and grammar are very, very important. We all study them in school for a reason. If your spelling isn't great, USE THE SPELL CHECK!
The admins will give you a reminder about this. There is no reason for you to have bad spelling when there is a spelling checker right beside the 'Post' button. As for grammar, just do the very best you can.
16) You can have more then one character to RP. However, you must role play with them at least once a week. If you cannot do so, for any reason, please say so when you post the character profile. If it turns out that you can not RP with a charier at least one a week please post it in the board called 'I will not be on as much' that is in the general category.
17) You also do not have to open a whole another account when RPing more then one character but you MUST mention in your post at least twice whose point of view it is. If it switches (you have more than one character in a thread) then use
****
to mark the change between them.
But, it is better if you have no more then 4 accunts/ characters and you have to have profiles for them to be yours
18) If you play a canon, you are free to do just about what you will how ever you must remember to keep certain areas the same
(Ex: Snape is cold to just about every one, though there are a few exeptions such as those of his choosing & for his own reasons. Even when he might not say something it does not mean he gets along well with them or anyone else for that matter. Snape would be to the point you would not know what to really expected form him & one moment he does something out of his nature just to turn around a moment later to be cold and unfeeling)
19) You can not kill yourself and then come back to life unless it has staff approval. (But, for this you would have to give a good reason why you came back.)
20) This is a THIRD PERSON RPG site. Please, don't put any 'I's in your posts.
NO!
Ex: I wandered down the hall.
YES!
She wandered down the hall.
21) If a new rule is added to the site and it conflicts with what you have already posted or that, let one of the staff know so that it can be dealt with.
