1. No power playing, godmoding, or anything of the sort. You roleplay your character, and yours alone, unless another member allows you to control theirs. Say, if your leaving on a trip or something, you can give a friend permission to control your characters until you return.
2. Do not ask to become an admin. We will choose the best admin when we see if you are advertising and role playing. It also helps to stay active.
3. Before you role play, you MUST POST YOUR CHARACTER’S PROFILE under the Character Registration board and wait for the approval of an Admin. Once you’re notified by post, then you are free to role play wherever you wish.
4. Concerning character profiles, we would appreciate your keeping them accurate. This helps in keeping the records accurate, and helps to clear up confusion about certain aspects of characters, such as age changes.
5. Plots and activities are going to hopefully be a frequent joint occurrence at this 'boards. It’s best if you have your character(s) participate, since your character may meet new people.
6. You’re expected to respect your fellow members, admins, and role players. If you have an argument, you are expected to move it to the OOC character board or PM and sort it out. You’re expected to behave maturely, and not resort to threats or bolded posts. We admins are here to help, but it is our wish that you resolve your differences on your own, and not come complaining to us. Don’t be afraid to talk to us about anything. We’re here to help. However, if you yourself are misbehaving and giving us a hard time, trying to weasel your way out of trouble, and trying to get your way are not going to help. You get three warnings, and then you’re suspended for a week.
8. Relationships, that is to say, romance, are allowed, but be appropriate. If it’s getting near or above PG-13 level, please make a note of it in the title, by a warning symbol, or another means. There’s no such thing as ‘love at first sight’, either. This means your characters have to get to know one another first, before anything can happen.
9. If you have any suggestions, like plots, new boards, or anything like that, feel free to post on the Questions and Suggestions board for any views or opinions by fellow members, or contact us directly. If you go through with your idea though, without permission, we will give you a warning. Three warnings and you’re suspended for a week. If you continue to act without permission, you will be permanently banned, NO IFS, ANDS, OR BUTS!
10. When joining, please note that if you create nothing but female characters, there will be fewer males. It would not be fun to have 10 females and only 2 males running around the island. Try to even the genders out.
11. When role playing, do not post out of character unless combined with an in character post. Try PM, the OOC board, or the C-Box for any chats.
12. You can double your characters at different boards, using ‘time warps’, setting the specific role play before or after one being role played somewhere else. Doubling is especially allowed for special events, like hatchings and feasts, if a role play hasn’t concluded by the time the event started.
13. Try not to make one-liners. I’m afraid to say writers block does occur, and we understand that. Try not to make a habit out of one-liners, try to be detailed. Everyone likes a person who uses details. Remember to use the character forms for bringing in new characters.
14. Almost all posts (especially the starting ones) have to be at least two paragraphs long, no exceptions. If this rule is not followed, and an admin sees you repeatedly making one-liners, you will be given a warning. After two more times, you will be banned for the day. Two more after that, for a week. After that, we'd hope you'd learned a lesson. But if you continue, you will be permanently banned.
15. MOST IMPORTANT RULE: You can only have three characters/accounts per person! Don't go making millions of accounts and end up with sixty characters. Three accounts will do, and if you make more, the admins will know, and will delete one the of the accounts, no matter which one. Also, this rule will be lifted once we know how many people have joined. Admins are allowed to have their Administrator accounts plus three others. Seeing as their Admin accounts are there to fix the board and what not.
16. If you creat an account, you will have 10 days to post an application or finish an uncomplete one. If you do not, Admin will be forced to delete your account and you will have to re-register.
17.Concerning avatars and signatures. Your avatar cannot be bigger than 100x100 pixels. Your signature cannot stretch the page. Your banner cannot pass 500x350 pixels.
18. So this rule is the pointless rule. Hopefully you did read the rules and not just look for my pointless rambling. the secret word is blood pop. since i got one for halloween and thought it was the best thing ever.
19. Last rule, please put your characters full name and in lowercase letters as your screen name. i.e. evangeline ray nix
I don't want to see people with names written differently:
-EvAnGeLiNe RaY NiX
-EVANGELINE RAY NIX
-Evangeline Nix
-Evangeline Ray Nix
