WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS USERS MANUAL [[Remember. It’s Just A Game.]] If you're debating joining this RP Experience, then you must read the following rules. Not because we're telling you to, but because it really will make your lives much easier if you just take the time and look the following topic over. Failure to adhere to the rules will result in a warning and a possible ban if the Admins feel it necessary. Three Strikes, You're Out. We mean it. Rules here are to be followed. Starting Out GENERAL RULES Board Level. -Advanced- Before even starting, keep in mind this is an Advanced site. If you can't handle We want our players and Souls to No God-Modding. No Power-Playing. No Soul-Control. There will be no God-Modding. God-Mod simply means you are not to go controlling other people's Souls Without Their Consent. It is forbidden to kill, speak for or otherwise control another member’s Soul. Put simply...keep your hands off other Souls and only on your own. If We see a single case of God-Modding from any Soul, there will only ever be one warning for that Member. On the second case, that Soul will be deleted immediately without a warning of any kind. No Discrimination. Golden Rule. Fair enough, everyone wants to have their own little bit of RP drama, but one thing we do not tolerate on 'What Happens In Vegas' is discrimination in any way, shape or form. We're not going to tolerate it at all, so don't even think about starting something up. If you have a problem with race, religion, sexual preference, etc. then you are most certainly in the wrong place. In fact you might as well just leave right now. No member of this forum should have to deal with anything of that sort, so we're not going to let a single one of you kick off. If we see or hear of a single case of discrimination against another member then you will find yourself banned without warning. Profanity. If you don't know what this word means, look it up in a dictionary. Our forum is a more mature RP forum. Your Soul can curse, but not excessively. We don't want to see Souls that use profanity every other word, unless of course you stated in their bio that they do in fact use foul language that often. You are all welcome to use it in the OOC forums as well, but once again; don't have every second word a curse. Some people are offended by bad language, so please keep this in mind when you post IC or OOC. Read The Posts Thoroughly In the past We have come across people who did not read the prior posts in a thread in which they were responding and even managed to state in their responding posts that the thread took place in a completely different forum. This is horribly agitating and slightly offensive. Every member works hard on their posts and it isn't fair to ignore what was written before you entered the thread. There will be no second chances on this matter. If you are found replying to a thread and it is obvious that you paid no attention to the post before yours, you will be banned from the site immediately. No if's, ands, or buts about it. Absences & Inactivity. If you are going to be absent please post so in the proper thread. This thread can be found in the Futon World forum held within Off The Record. We will hold periodic activity checks that last a week. After that week all member accounts that are still inactive will be deleted. If you post that you are to be absent then you can avoid accidental deletion. It’s All About The Souls! SOUL RULES Applying For Your Soul. Make sure you apply for the Soul you wish to use before you start roleplaying. Once you have registered, make sure you have read these rules fully and then head on over to the “Soul Registration” forum. You'll find a Soul Template to use in that category. Make sure you fill the Template in completely as We do not accept uncompleted applications. Once you've posted up your application, an We will look over it to make sure that everything is in order. If your application looks how it should, and everything on the form is filled in properly, it will be moved into the Soul Vault [At which point, You will put another copy of the profile in the forum Souls in Transit], then and only then can you start role playing. If we see people posting and they have not yet been accepted we will give them a warning. After three warnings, you will be banned. No questions asked. DO NOT POST YOUR APPLICATION BEFORE COMPLETION. If you do so, your application will be deleted. If you need a place to store your unfinished application, there is a notepad on your control panel for just such purposes. Thank you. All of the extenuating circumstances for this rule are the same as above. Love & Drugs. What a Combination. Love; Fade to black before things get too hot ‘n’ heavy. Simple as that. No Exceptions. Drugs. What can I say? On occasion, some Souls may well turn to drugs and other stimulants to keep themselves entertained. You're welcome to have a Soul who is hooked on drugs, but be advised that the same rule for profanity goes for usage of stimulants as well. Use your heads on this one and just try and be sensible. Soul Age. Average age for a Soul at Vegas remains around 20-30. Exceptions are possible, but that was the Age-Range the Last Wave primarily picked up. You may have a Soul of any age if you wish. From toddler to Elder. Do not be unrealistic. Critical Topics. Be sure to read any and all Critical topics in a forum, they are, in fact, important. The threads that are pinned in the IC forums are topics that are vital to the plot. Those are the ones that keep this site moving. Read them, they will keep you up to date. Every Other Little Detail. SOUL DETAILS Avatars & Signatures. Use your head. Don’t warp the forum, or your signature will be removed after one warning. Nothing too huge, please. Some people still use Dial-up. God have mercy. If you happen to request an Avatar or Signature from another Member, remember to be polite. Soul Limits. You can make up to Three Souls on this site. We really don't want people taking on more Souls than they can handle. We really do want everyone to be as active as possible and if you have too many Souls and you're not good at having multiple Souls, this means you're going to be inactive with some of them and we don't want that. If you want to have more than Three Souls for any particular reason, contact an admin. Make sure you've shown that you're active with the other Souls you own and We'll consider it. Spread It Out. ADVERTISING RULES Advertising & Affiliation. No advertisements anywhere except in the specified forum. Guests may advertise as long as they advertise What Happens In Vegas on their forum. Everybody knows what the sweet old linkage section is for, and everybody uses it. So, feel free to post up an ad for your own RP forum, and make sure you advertise us back in the process. Just remember though that any threads with broken links or links that feed out to a website of a risque nature will be deleted without notice. And, all of our lovely guests are welcome to post in here too. If you want to Affiliate with WHIV, contact a Conductor. With Feeling This Time. AND SO IT GOES No Excuse. Right, we've laid down our law, and we really do expect you to abide by it. If for some reason or another you decide to ignore any one of the rules we've listed above then you'll be warned. If we have to warn you more than three times, then you'll be banned from the forum. The Staff Are To Be Listened To. This one is pretty obvious. If a Conductor, Admin, or Mod asks you to do something, you do it. If They asks you to edit something, you edit it. If They asks you to stop doing something, you stop it. All of the Staff around here are boss, and whatever they say, goes. If you have legitimate complaints, questions, or concerns, be civil and diplomatic about it. We’re adults; And remember. It’s just a Board, right? -- [[ got any questions? then just PM the administrative account ]] — -- [[ this is copyright to Serendipity [Who is, sadly, no longer with us. :(]. If you want to use it, please ask first. ]] — Edited by Jake, May 27 2010, 03:24 AM.
