IN YOUR CHARACTER
[/color][/center]1. Posts must be in Third Person, ALWAYS.
BAD EXAMPLE: I strolled down the busy sidewalk and, seeing my best friend Gianna I stopped to talk for a while.
GOOD EXAMPLE: Jennie strolled down the busy sidewalk and, seeing her best friend Gianna, she stopped to talk for a while.
2. Act Like Your Character: If you person hates someone, don't be friendly. If two people are best friends, don't make them be mortal enemies (applies mainly to the people who take on a canon). Really know your character.
3. Joining the site, we ask you to take on a canon or a wanted character before making an original. There are several to pick from, all, of which, can be found in the Enrollment and Wanted boards.
4. No Godmoding! This means you can only control your character. Please post in the correct character. I would have the alias code for this site, but I don't. I heard that there is a glitch, and I really would like to keep this glitch free.
5. Our apps are OPTIONAL! The only thing required of new members is a roleplay sample! Just so we get the basic idea of how you do.
6. Follow my plot as far as you can. Don't rearrange it to do what you feel like . You will get a few warning about it if you do and the you'll get the boot from my site. Follow it PLEASE! It's a very simple plot and allows many things to come from it, but I don't need anything changed.
7. No Text or IMing talk while in character. How you speak out of character doesn't bother me at all but I don't wanna see things like [LOL--OMG--ROF--LMAO--G2G--TTYL] UNLESS you are roleplaying in the AIM, Blog It, and Cell Phone boards (texting only).
8. I really don't want this place to die so I would love it for you to stay active. After about a week or so, if you're character is inactive, I (or another Admin) will e-mail you. If you don't return after that then I will take it as you don't want to be here. Though, if you have posted in the absence board neither of the two actions will be done. So post there if you KNOW you will be gone or you could lose your person.
9. One of the things I would like to stress is that the site ranges from novice to experts in roleplaying. The only thing required is that posts in location threads (the school, beach, homes, etc) must be a minimum of three hundred (300) words without coding. Many word programs offer a word count, and the site even has one below the Quick Reply boxes. If it doesn't work for you, simply google "Word count" and you can find free websites offering the services.
10. Okay, so because it's City, and we all love realism, I'm allowing sex. But if anyone does it over and over again in roleplays, they will be warned and then banned. And she can become pregnant, ONLY if she asks me and the guy. This rule really only applies to threads, not so much ICC chat.
11. Almost all ages are acceptable. Preferably, I would not like to see characters over fifty, but if you'd like, by all means.
OUT OF CHARACTER
1. Please...no fighting out of character if your CHARACTERS are fighting. Okay?
2. Look, I know having one character is VERY boring. There is no character limit, but if you do have multiple characters, we ask you to keep them all active. Remember, no more than one character per account. You may only make a new character if your most recent character made has a thread. We could also use more male characters, so please keep that in mind!
3. You can curse in and out of character just NOT EVERY OTHER WORD! And if someone happens to politely ask you to stop using a certain word, please respect his or her wishes and obey to them.
4. I know it's overused, but I feel it's important to have a secret codeword. With using rational as the codeword, I am assuming you've read the rules thoroughly. It's a trust thing.
5. The site will have profanity, drug use, sex, etc throughout its livelihood. Though, not all teenagers partake in activities, we all know teenagers are not saints; No one is perfect. All that's asked is for you to make it tactful, I don't want the place to turn into softcore literotica.
6. Follow these and roleplaying here will be fun and simple, okay. So HAVE FUN HERE AND THANKS FOR JOINING!
Thanks Jennie for most of these rules!
