These rules are admins law. You must obey them at all times. If anyone is seen to be or have seen to be disobeying the rules then you will be warned and if Helena Saleria has anything to do with it... sanctioned...
Also, you will find the secret words hidden within these rules, so make sure to read every rule, otherwise you won't get the whole secret word...
.:Respect:.
Respect is a big must, in order for everyone to get along and RP well you'll need respect. If I find that anyone is disrespecting anyone, or these rules, then that person will be warned, if the problem persists, you will be sanctioned.
.:Cussing:.
Cussing is allowed, we're all adults. However, I ask of you to keep the cussing to a minimum, while I have taken all the cuss words off, so that you can use them, I ask you, again, to please use them within moderation, constant cussing will be dealt with however an admin sees it fit.
.:Third Person:.
All threads must be in third person, this goes without saying really. When making a thread, rather than using first person, for example: 'I shot the guy because he was being mean to me.' Please use third person, for example: 'Amy ended up having to shoot the guy in front of her because he was being rather mean to wards her.'
.:Thread Lengths:.
To comply with the level of Rping in this site I would like to ask all members to post a minimum of 2 paragraphs, each consisting of 3-7 lines each. Yes, I do check the length. If you need help in meeting with this minimum expectation then please read the thread in the help board.
.:Sexual Content:.
Yes, I will allow sexual content, but please don't post too graphic a detail, remember, we may have some members on here that are 13 years old. While we may have others that feel uncomfortable about any sexual content.
.:Activity and multiple characters:.
Could all members please note that we will be doing regular activity checks, so make sure your character is active otherwise you will be deleted. Also, please note that you may have multiple characters, however, there is a limit. That limit is 5, which consists of 2 cannons and 3 originals. There'll be monthly activity checks to make sure that everyone is active as they should be.
.:God modding:.
Please don't! God modding is an absolute MUSTN'T! You can't god mod anyone, no-one, not ever, it's unfair on the person that you are god modding... here's an example of god modding:
Chase stuck his foot out to make Amy fall and then he laughed when she did fall, especially since she fell into a rather muddy puddle and lay there crying.
Here's an example of how it should be:
Chase wanted to stop Amy so he hid round the corner and stuck his foot out when he heard her coming with the intentions of tripping her up. He hoped she would fall.
.:No Mary Sue's or Gary Stu's
This makes it extremely boring for people to RP with. You just have to remember that no-one is ever, truly perfect, not even Martha Stewart. She had flaws, even if you couldn't see them all that well. But that's besides the point, I don't want to see any Mary Sue's or Gary Stu's, come on people, you're more adventurous than that.
.:Grammar:.
Ah, now this, this is a biggie, one of my pet peeves is grammar, I just hate it when people use improper grammar, it makes me want to correct it, or the person. So, if your grammar really isn't up-to scratch then I suggest you use the spell checker... It's what it's there for, and it also makes my job alot less harder having to correct every piece of grammar mistake that I find in any thread. Although I don't mind so much in the OOC board. Oh, and everyone makes mistakes, so don't worry all that much about it.
.:Finished and dead Threads:.
Once your thread is finished, I please ask that you PM one of the administrators with the name of the thread and which board it is situated within, so that we can remove it to the graveyard. If a thread has not been posted in within 15 days of it having been made, it will be removed to the graveyard, if you wish to give any thread the kiss of life then please PM an administrator with the same information above.
.:Text talk:.
Oh god, text talk anywhere that isn't an OOC board will be corrected. It is a big no-no for any thread. Some people may not be able to understand it and it also makes the thread look messy. If I see any text talk then the thread it is in will be tagged with a lovely OOC from myself and no-one will be allowed to post in it until the text talk is corrected into the proper format of words.
.:Graphics and Credit
All Avatars must be a size of 100X100 pixels, they won't fit if they are any bigger. Also, all signatures must not exceed the size of 200X700 pixels, if they are any bigger, they will be removed. We really don't want pages stretched length ways and width ways.
.:Fun:.
You can't not have fun. It's like a crime. However, if you don't know what fun is then please read here for more information.
.:Secret Word:.
"when two hearbeats intertwine..."
