GENERAL !
[/center] - Respect is the number one thing on this site. respect the admins, the members, and the guests accordingly. With personal experience, I know how it feels to be harassed. PLEASE contact an admin if this is happening, and we'll deal with it. Harassment will result in a warning, and then a ban for a week. If it continues, you will be banned permanently.
- Make sure that you check the face claims before posting your application, including the reserves. If you want a celeb that is already taken, PM the member using it to see if they need a twin. OR if the member is not an admin, pm me, Hailz, if the member has not posted for over a month.
- Be sure to tell us when you are going to be away, just so you don't risk deletion if we have a spontaneous activity check. Post in the absence board to do so.
- This site is rated PG-13 which means it deals with sex, drugs, language, and rock and roll. We suggest that you be at least 15 if you join but if you think you can handle it and your under that age, go right ahead, we honestly don't care. If there's a mature theme involved, remember to follow Proboards rules and either fade to black or continue in private messages.
- HAVE FUN! after all, that is what we are here for right?
ROLEPLAYING !
[/SIZE][/center]- We have already given you the luxury of having an application that requires no extensive thinking, for the most part. Therefore, we would like to put a 150 word count minimum on all posts. It's honestly not that much, people. If you don't have the muse to post 150 words, then don't post, or just post with INCOMPLETE written boldly and finish it later. I personally would rather have to wait a month for a reply than get a crappy 50 word one in a day.
- Please, only post with the character that is in the thread that you are posing in. It get's VERY confusing when you don't. If one of the admins catch this, they will PM you asking you to change it. It's honestly not that hard to log out and log in again. This goes for posting applications as well, make a new account then post. Not that difficult.
- That being said, only one character per account, even if they are twins. Seriously, I honestly don't care that its "easier for you" it makes it a lot more confusing for everyone. Please, just do one character per account, and make us all happy. You can make as many characters as you want, just make sure to keep them all active. By the way, for every three girls, one boy must be made.
- We don't want any Mary Sue's or Gary Stus at this site. Everyone has weaknesses, even the prettiest of people. If we think that your character is acting like either of those, you will be warned.
- Oh, and we ask you to not be so dramatic. We would like to keep pregnancies and deaths to a minimum. YOU MUST PM AN ADMIN FOR PERMISSION ON PREGNANCIES/DEATHS. But please not an over-dramatic death, like a world renown murder. If your quitting, don't just kill your character. Make them leave or something.
- THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! I understand that on this site as the roleplayer you are in control of how powerful your character can be. Unfortunately there are many people who do not know the meaning of 'restraint' and will take advantage of a system without set guidelines. So, I would like to address an issue that often comes up with sites concerning powers, and that issue is God modding and power playing. For newcomers to the role-playing community, here are the definitions:
God modding is when someone's character is capable of anything and is not restricted to limits/boundaries. For example, your character cannot be killed, or he starts moving entire continents with his mind. A not so extreme example is merely having a character dodging attacks and never getting hit.
Power playing is essentially controlling other peoples characters. For example...Person 1: Character 1 hits character 2.
Person 2: Character 2 comes back around and throws him against the wall and character 1 screams as character 2 punches him repeatedly.
Otherwise, under no circumstances will we tolerate such behavior. It is not fun and is often insulting to others and to the site. Now before you mention it, yes, I am getting to that. What if its part of a plot? Yes. If you and the person you are currently role-playing with have agreed to a certain plot and have notified staff about it, then it is ok.
So, if we think your character is too strong, we will ask you to tone it down. Failure to comply after a few warnings will result in deletion of your character.
GRAPHICS !
[/SIZE][/center]- Sigs can be no larger than 500x500. Avatars must only be 150x200.
- In posts and apps, images may not stretch the page. If they do, you will get a PM and it will be removed by an admin.
- If you can make graphics, please contact the admin with some examples. That may mean promotion to a mod position (:
OOC !
[/SIZE][/center]- Before I forget, I want to check that you've read the rules. The secret password for the application board is dreamers.
- NO FIGHTING IN THE OOC BOARDS!! If you have a problem with another member, take it to the PMs and contact an admin.
- No ic posting in the ooc boards, unless it is in a game that requires that.
- And no ooc posting in the ic boards. We don't care what the problem is, unless it's a tiny one sentence post at the bottom. But even if that is the case, you have to make it obvious it's ooc.
- Okaay, I'm done (: Now that you read the rules, hope you find it fun here at Awake In A Dream!
