General Board Rules
1. No pornographic/offensive/violent content. However, during a "romantic" rp, some things are allowed. Just don't do anything you wouldn't do in front of your little brother/sister.

2. Disputes: When there's a conflict between members (out of character), all members involved will be put in the Detention Room to sort it out. You won't be allowed to leave until the matter is resolved.

3. Avatars and Signatures: Avatars should be no bigger than 100x100 pixels, and signatures should not be bigger than 500x200 pixels.

4. Multiple Accounts:
You are allowed as many accounts as you want. However, keep in mind that accounts that have not been active for over 10 days will receive an e-mail. If after another 10 days there still hasn't been any activity, your account will be deleted.
So it's very important to let a HoH, Minister, Teacher, Prefect or Head Boy/Girl know if you won't be able to be active for a while!

There's a User Switcher! It's located at the top left of every page, next to the [Sign Out] link. It will ask you for the alternate username and you'll have to enter your password twice, and that's it! No more fussing with logging out and in..

5. Violation of the Rules:
1st offense: 20% Warning and a PM
2nd offense: 40% Warning, a PM and exclusion from the area where the offense occured.
3rd offense: 60% Warning, a PM and you'll be locked up in the Detention Room for 10 days.
4th offense: 80% Warning, a PM and you'll be locked up in Azkaban for 30 days.
5th offense: 100% Warning, a Mail, and you'll be banned permanently. Your name will be displayed on the walls of Azkaban.

Ministry Rules
1. The Ministry controlls the schools.
This means that the Ministry declares decrees, curriculae (what is taught at the schools) and keeps a record of Detention and Azkaban. This influences your future!

2. The Ministry is the Staff.
This means all HoHs, Teachers etc answer to the Ministry. This is also where Public Staff Meetings will be held.

3. The Ministry is Democratic.
This means that before major decisions are made, the results of a Public Vote will carry heavy weight in the decision.

School Rules
1. Sorting.
Once sorted, you're stuck in that House/Division/Section.
In Hogwarts we have Houses:
Posted Image --> the Brave
Posted Image --> the Kind
Posted Image --> the Loyal
Posted Image --> the Cunning
In Bauxbatons we have Divisions:
Posted Image --> the Gentle
Posted Image --> the Bright
Posted Image --> the Witty
In Vyandreya we have Sections:
Posted Image --> the Wise
Posted Image --> the Critical
Posted Image --> the Physical

2. Classes/Homework/Exams.
Classes will be constructed as follows:
o A RP by the Teacher
o The actual lesson laid out completely (as if it was a lecture)
o The Homework (if any) in orangered color.

[Slytherin]Edit by Raika Slangenheim, Slytherin Head of House:
There will be seperate pages for "Static Classes". All Lecture material and homework will be copied into these pages, so that people who don't like RolePlaying classes can still do their homework without having to look for the information through 10 pages of RP.[/Gryffindor]

Teachers should grade as follows:
O outstanding (9-10/10)
E exceeds expectations (7-8,5/10)
A average (5,5-6,5/10)
P poor (4-5)
D dreadful (3-4,5/10)
T troll (0-2,5/10)

Exams are to be held at the end of each term, and you'll need to pass every subject if you want to go on to the next year!

3. Houses and House Points.
A term lasts 4 months, so at the end of each term, the House/Division/Section with the most points wins the House/Division/Section Cup for that term. This is a graphic, to be put in the Common Room.
Points are reset at the beginning of each new term.
Teachers and HoH can give/take points to/from you for being good/bad.

You receive points for:

  • Posting useful threads in your common room: 5 HP
  • Class Performance: 10 HP (if you pass your homework)
  • Tests/Exams: Depends on how well you did..
  • Posting in Uniform*: 50 HP

* Posting in Uniform = Posting in the colour of your House/Division/Section.
To post in Uniform: Use the forum code with your House:
If you are in [Gryffindor]Gryffindor:[/Gryffindor]
Code:
 
[ Gryffindor]text[ /Gryffindor]
(without the spaces, obviously)

Roleplay Rules
1. Literacy.
I don't expect perfection from everyone. I do, however, expect you to be at least semi-literate in the English language. Text/MSN/chat language is NOT tolerated in the RP areas!!

GRAMMAR
Your = belonging to you
You're = you are

There = not here
Their = belonging to them
They're = they are

Its = belonging to it
It's = it is or it has

[color]Mistakes of this kind will be punished by having 1 House Point taken from you![/color] Sorry if this sounds harsh, but they're right here. So if you're unsure about your grammar, please just come and check it here.

2. Length of sentences/paragraphs.
I expect a sentence to exist out of a subject, object and a verb. This is an absolute minimum!
I expect a paragraph to exist out of 5+ sentences.

If you're not comfortable with writing long paragraphs, or more than one paragraph, you don't have to.

3. Aging of Characters
A School Term lasts 4 months, and your character ages 1 year after each term. (So if you go through a 12-months-year, your character has grown 3 years).
This is important for the rules of relationships and marriage (see below).

Misc. Erdwynn Rules
1. Magazines/Newspapers
The "Updating Owl" newspaper is The only official Erdwynn Newspaper, meaning it's made by the Erdwynn Staff. It is used to get everyone up-to-date on what's been going on in Erdwynn.

It will be issued when major updates/changes have been done. It will be sent to everyone in a PM.

Any other newspapers/magazines you may run into are member-made. Of course, this does not mean they are less valuable than the Updating Owl! Members often have a very different view on things than the Staff, and this gives them the opportunity to voice those opinions.

2. Relationships
You can establish relationships with other members, and even get married and have children of your own.
To marry you have to be graduated from a school.
To have children you should apply for a house in Peegvelt first, and then create the new account for the child(ren). You should find someone else to RP the child, you can do so in the Ministry's Birth Register.

3. Good V/S Evil
You can join the battle in the Good/Evil HQ (depending on whether you wish to fight foor good or for evil, of course).
Once you've decided and have been accepted, you will receive a badge in your miniprofile (with every post you make):
Posted Image = Good Warrior
Posted Image = Evil Warrior
