Below are all the rules of this site. As I consider this an advanced site with experienced RPers who know the ins and outs of gaming, I do not expect to have to go into great detail on them. I will, however, if I find that too many of them are being ignored or broken. General Conduct Typically there are many, many rules to a roleplay site. But as I trust that you will be responsible adults and act as such, I have limited them to as few as possible, without detailed instructions or a stupid secret phrase that you have to find. You are expected to behave as an adult while on this site. There will be no fighting at any time OOC about ANYTHING. If you have issues, please bring them to the staff and we will do our best to come to a quick and fair solution. We will always look at both sides of an issue and make an unbiased judgment. Warnings will be given and the correct punishment given if warranted. The offender will be given three chances [that's three PM warnings], and then they will be banned from whatever section they were causing trouble in for a period of time deemed appropriate for the offense. If the problems occur OOC, they will be limited to IC areas. Likewise, if IC is where they are causing trouble, OOC and the C-box will be open, but not the roleplay boards. Be aware that although swearing is allowed, there are many other ways to express oneself. Please keep your cursing to about a PG-13 level. This means general and some harsher language is allowed, but anything you only hear once or twice in a PG-13 movie shouldn't be used at all, or very rarely if it is used. Too much cursing will result in a warning. Likewise, mention of adult situations and discussions is allowed, but don't go overboard. Graphic details, and/or anything that violates the TOS will be deleted and you'll be given a warning. Three strike warning applies here as well. Chatting is always encouraged as we like our members to get to know one another and to develop friendships outside of the RP itself. While we understand that some people will never get along, we do ask that things remain civil here. Though you're not required to chat offsite, talking with each other here is encouraged. We have found that close friendships lead to a board that is better off for everyone. Aside from that, just keep things civil, don't advertise sites in the chat areas, and don't post links to inappropriate content anywhere on the site. Should you wish to advertise, read through the rules pinned in that forum for more details. [Affiliates as well!] Chat, specifically Chatting is, as discussed above, highly encouraged, though not mandatory. Do keep religious and political discussions off the site though, as I do not like fights and have found that most people cannot discuss said topics without it dissolving into an all out argument instead of a debate. Likewise, any other heated topics are not welcome on the boards. Mostly I'd prefer it if you kept it to Harry Potter chat, movies, music, TV, and the like. Do be aware that the staff here likes Twilight as well as Harry Potter so no Twilight bashers will be welcome here. Character Creation The form itself shows what we're looking for here on the site. We're looking for advanced players, who write quality multi para and novella length posts. It is possible to have both. That said, we are always happy to have canons here, though we love to see OCs as well. Watch the Mary Sue content, read the guides, and generally have fun. There's no secret phrase, just PM your RP sample to the staff [g-mod and above] and wait to be approved. Do remember to leave the House section blank as you'll be sorted by the staff here [you may request a house, but that doesn't guarantee you'll get it], and the Sorting Hat will post the results for you. There is a form that we ask you to follow, but aside from that, nothing else is really expected other than what has been covered above and what the form itself asks for. IC We are advanced, multi para to novella length, and literate. And yes, before anyone gets huffy, we are aware that quality counts for more than quantity. HOWEVER, this site asks for both. It is perfectly reasonable and people are perfectly capable of writing long and detailed posts that leave plenty open for others to respond to, while keeping the quality good and the purple prose out of things. We write in third person, past tense. The minimum length of posts here is 4 paragraphs, though we do encourage more. Cursing and more adult situations are allowed, but do keep the fade out/fade in method in mind for anything sexual. Otherwise.... HAVE FUN. That's what RP is all about, right?
