1.::. Registering/Accounts .::.

  • 1.1 You can register with any name you like, as long as it'll fit this RPG/setting. Last names weren’t very common.
  • 1.2 Please do not register with titles like ‘King John’ or something. This can always be changed by an admin after your application has been approved.
  • 1.3 You can register more then one character, but have to be able to keep active with all of them. However to register a second character, you must have 30 posts with your first account (half must be RP posts).
  • 1.4 When you want to register a NEW character when already owning a character, you MUST notify ShinLi or Andy. This way no confusion will arise.
  • 1.5 This is also noted in the Canon thread, but new members are not allowed to sign up as a god character. We like to restrict these at first. And like to concentrate on thickening out the mortal population first ^^. However you are free (with the above rules in mind) to apply for a god character as your second character.
  • 1.6 You must be at least 13 years old to register.
2.::. General.::.

  • 2.1 No flaming other members in OOC
  • 2.2No spamming, no opening useless threads or unnecessary posting.
  • 2.3 You may not edit messages that have been edited by a moderator/admin
  • 2.4 You may not publicly complain about thread closure/deletion, post deletion, warnings and bans of other members
  • 2.5 We do not allow attacks on staff and members
  • 2.6 Be active, the Staff will clean out the board at least once a month. So please do not register when you know you won't RP with us. An unsorted account will be deleted 21 days after registering, sorted members who are inactive will be moved to 'inactive member' groupd after a month. They will receive e-mail notification. If this account won't become active, it will be deleted a month after being moved to the 'inactive member' group.
  • 2.7 Do not ask to be staff, these positions will be given to people by the staff themselves.
3.::. Avatar/Signature .::.

  • 3.1 Avatars maximum size is 150x150 pixels
  • 3.2 Please use an Avatar which represents your character!
  • 3.3 When using an Avatar of a celebrity to represent your character, make sure the celebrity isn't claimed already by another member.
  • 3.4 You can Claim an Avatar Here
  • 3.5 It is allowed to only have 1 Picture/photo in your signature, or one line of avatar sized(100x100) pictures. An Image, together with text is allowed.
  • 3.6 Signatures should not stretch the board.
  • 3.7 Please use a Signature/picture which represents your character. See the Avatar Claim thread for more information.
  • 3.8 It is Forbidden to Advertise in your signature, this counts for every board/site. You can advertise Here
  • 3.9 It would be very much appreciated if you had a link in your profile to your character sheet and relationship sheet in your signature.
4.::. RolePlaying & Posting .::.

  • 4.1 Characters can't be 100% flawless, also there will no God-Moding taking place.
  • 4.2 Powerplaying is forbidden. This means you cannot play the actions or speech of any other character, but your own character. We will be nice and simply ask you to change your post if you do so.
  • 4.3 Oneliners are ABSOLUTLY FORBIDDEN
  • 4.4 Posts should be longer then 6 six lines, also use paragraphs
  • 4.5 When you start a thread, make the post at least 10 lines or longer, preferable two paragraphs.
  • 4.6 We post in third person in RP, so no first person. However, first person is allowed within character applications and relationship plotting if you like to do those in first person.
  • 4.7 Do not type posts with Caps Lock on, this is also really appreciated in the ooc boards and do not use Glow or to brightly colored text.
  • 4.8 Please do not use tiny or small text for your posts, for some this is very hard to read and will make roleplaying less fun.
  • 4.9 The Edit Button is your friend, do not double post in RP or OOC
  • 4.10 Please use proper grammar, spelling and punctuation. Of course we understand that not everyone's first language is English. But it's hard to RolePlay if you can't understand what you have typed. (this also counts in OOC boards)
  • 4.11 Do not take Authority into your own hands. Leave any mishaps for the admins and mods to handle.
  • 4.12 Concerning Inactive/not finished profiles. Profiles that haven't been finished within 5 days of posting, or haven't been replied in after 5 days of a staff member posting in an application, it will be moved to a forum that is not viewable to members. If your application is gone, but you'd like to finish it, please pm 'ShinLi' and she will move the topic back to the Character Application forum.
Overview of shortenings and their meaning:

RP: Roleplay
OOC: Out Of Character
IC: In Character
CAF: Character Application Form

I hope we weren’t too hard in this, but if you follow these rules and guidelines, you will have no trouble with us ;). And most important of all, the rules will maintain our community as we know it now. Friendly and welcoming to new members.


((Rules could be added/edited any time without notification! New rules will be marked with an *))[/color]
