Rules
1. Het and slash pairings are allowed in this RP. Dark themes may also occur. Therefore, all players must be 18 or older. We're aware age does not directly equate with maturity, but we're also aware how creepy it is for adults to RP sex with players that are underage.
2. The character max is 5 to start with. If you would like more characters please contact us and we will decide dependent upon elements such as how long you've been in the rpg and your activity level.
3. Use of Journals: Posting should be as such: 3rd person for actions in the RPG forum, and 1st for speaking in your journal. Your character journal is used as though your character has an interactive diary. Post all entries but if it's private, put a note. The same goes for Friends only posts. ALSO: Avoid involving characters that aren't yours in your character's post, or describing another person’s actions. This is GODMODDING.
4. Please use correct spelling, capitalization and grammar when you type (except in cases with characters with accents). This helps the flow of the story and helps people to better understand what your character means. Some mistakes are going to happen, but try to keep them minimal.
5. You may use AIM, Yahoo, MSN, or any other messenger to talk to other characters, but please post a log of the conversations either in the main community or in your personal journal.
6. All posts must be formatted this way:
Who:
What:
When:
Where:
Status:
lj-cut:
7. You must post at least once every two weeks (journal entry) or you will be put on a warning list. If you have not posted at least once over two weeks after being put on the warning list (without notice to a mod/working it into the plot), then you will be removed from the community. This is our attempt at keeping everyone involved. If you are on the warning list for not posting a journal entry you will have the opportunity to link us to your two latest log or comment activity to prove your activity for that warning period.
** Threads must be at least 5 replies per person. Narratives and journal entries should be of decent quality and over 2 paragraphs
8. Out of Character Posts (OOC) should be confined to the OOC community.
9. While YOU are omnipotent in the RPG, your CHARACTER is not. If your character shows knowledge of something that they should likely not know, you must prove through logs or posts that they learned the information in character. Otherwise, the information will be judged in character as a lie, and will be treated as such.
**STRIKE OUTS ARE UNREADABLE BY CHARACTERS. It was written and then erased by the character but is there to add a little more depth to the entry. ALSO, no back and forth conversations of strike outs please.
10. Do NOT kill any other characters. You may injure, fight, ignore, argue, etc., but no killing off the characters unless you speak to the person playing the character you're killing AND a mod first.
11. Any serious plotline, such as pregnancy, death, etc. should be approved by the Mods before being written. We don't want to limit your ideas, but just need to make sure it will not negatively affect the game. Rule check, please in the proper spot on your application put in a line of any song that best describes your character. Feel free to use a couple lines if you want.
12. Please be respectful. We are all here for the same purpose, so fighting seems a little pointless. NO and I mean no Out Of Character(OoC) drama when In Character(IC). If you have a problem with someone or something, please contact the Mods. No public bashing of characters or the people that play them. We find that very disrespectful.
**And remember OOC Knowledge =/= IC Knowledge. You will be warned if we see this happening.
**If need be, a moderated chat will be set up between the players in an attempt to work out whatever problems there are. We're all adults and as such should be able to work things out.
13. Please be kind and talk to new characters. Make them welcomed and make this game more fun and less drama.
14. HAVE FUN
