Rules;
[/center]1; First and most important rule, please use some form of ooc (out of character) and bic/ic (in character). If you do not use this, one would not know if your character or you said that.
2; No god-modeling or power playing. Please, what's the fun in roleplaying if you're the almighty one that can even control others' actions and be immune to everything. None like that, please, thank you. This rule also applies to Mary-Sues and Gary-Stues. If you do have a character like that... expect it to be mocked or not taken seriously.
3; The limit for this role play site shall be semi-literate. This means no one liners. Try to put as much detail into your posts; your characters have thoughts, you know. Spelling and grammar are also necessary. We understand writer's block and the occasional typos, but please, nothing too common or repetitive or we might reconsider your ability. Please don't make us do that.
4; That being said, we do not want any ooc fights. If you have a problem with someone, PM a staff member. There's no need for unnecessary violence or grudges. We are a nice community here and everyone has opinions, please respect that fact.
5; The violence/swearing/nudity limit on this site is PG-13. We are holding all responsibility of age to you. If you feel that you might not be comfortable with this, please post this on your board title/signature so that others who don't really mind that much will know to keep the extremities to a minimum. If you feel that you are doing a roleplay that takes things too far, please continue over PM or put "M" in your thread title.
6; Clothing. Ok, this isn't such an issue but please make the clothing relevant. This is a school and if we're having skanky sluts, don't expect them to get away with it with most teachers.
7; One of the rules that I can not stress enough is to be active. I have seen countless boards go to waste just because people are not being active, therefore we will impose the rule of posting at least twice per week. If you are going to be away, please let one of the staff know and/or put it in the Absences board and notify us when you're back.
8; You do not have the permission to kill someone else's character unless they actually give it to you personally. Once a character is dead, they will not be able to roleplay any more unless it is a ghost or some form of detached spirit. However, that being said, it is entirely up to you if you want to kill off your own character.
9; If you choose to have a signature on this forum, I ask of you not to make it a page stretcher. If it is a page stretcher, we will delete it. There is no need to take up extra, unnecessary room and make people have to scroll all the way down just to read a reply. Also, there is a limit to the content; no nudity, no swear words or gore.
10; Create one account per character. If you are using two characters in one thread, you do not have to change accounts if you want to post for them.
11; Do not spam the CBox. It is there for ooc chat and not for spamming as a form of "advertising". We don't appreciate it and if this is abused, we will take the CBox off the site.
12; In regard to our advertising board, we have some limitations to this. You may only post one thread per site and within that, as much information about the plot and site if you wish. Also, please leave us a link or a button for us to link back. Otherwise, it defeats the purpose, doesn't it?
13; You may not start roleplaying unless your character has been accepted. If this rule is disobeyed, we will delete that character. This is because there may be some changes that we want to add to your character, like if there is something that they are not allowed to do.
14; Notice how on the list of demon bloods there are guidelines to the general school population? We really don't want ten synergetic halflings running around when there are only eight elemental and bestial halflings, so guys, please do take note of this!
15; Half-demons are half-demons. They will only have one affinity. Only very, very rarely will there be a half-demon that has two affinities.
We will add more as we see necessary.
