generalized guidelines
ONE.
register before you post anywhere. it seems a simple request but you'd be surprised how many people do not listen to this. the only exception is for advertising. any applications, claims, or posts made as a guest will be deleted without warning. and no, we don't feel that bad afterwards.
TWO.
you can have four characters tops, and that's only if you are active. you must have at least one hundred (100) posts per previous account prior to creating another one. meaning, if you've got three accounts, each must have at least one hundred (100) as the post count, and at least five (5) within the past week.
THREE.
this is an intermediate-advanced rpg rated R. by joining, you are accepting that there will be mature content on the site and that, just because you don't post it, doesn't mean it's not there.
FOUR.
avatars are a must and are to be 100x100. signatures are optional but preferred and are up to 550x300. please, please do not have more than one graphic in your signature, unless they are 100x100 icons. it gets to be too much.
FIVE.
if it does get too big, you will be asked to change it. failure to comply with result in the signature being removed and possible temporary banning.
SIX.
use the correct application template, please. those are all the required things, no more no less, so please stick to it. you will be asked to redo it if you use a different one. also, please fill out everything that applies. if it doesn't, put n/a.
SEVEN.
do not post anywhere other than ooc threads, certain claims, and the application board until you have been accepted.
EIGHT.
everyone must claim a model, and it must be someone fairly famous. meaning no friends on myspace, facebook, or vampirefreaks. this means no drawings, anime, cartoon characters, etc. as well. also, use the model if your going to claim it.
NINE.
all in-character posts in roleplay must be at least 200 words (about two paragraphs). if you cannot hit 200 words almost every single post, then you should not join. the staff does check every thread and if we see less than par posts consistantly, you will be asked to improve. if it continues, you may be asked to leave the rpg or be banned if you do not comply.
TEN.
mature content is definitely allowed here, as this is a rated R site. sex, drugs, alcohol, death, physical/mental abuse, teenage pregnancy, etc. is all allowed. however, rape and other forms of sexual abuse will not be tolerated. though it is understood that it is a part of life, this is a sensitive subject and so many suffer from it, so we will not include it as entertainment, as there is nothing entertaining about it.
ELEVEN.
yes, characters can have children, and occasionally i will allow a teenage pregnancies. in order to determine various things about the child, we roll dice. this will be explained in the event that you do want to have a child. however, you MUST DISCUSS this with an admin before getting pregnant. oh, and no male pregnancies. that's just absurd.
TWELVE.
inactivity for two weeks without notice will result in your account being deleted. we treat this as site abandonment and, if you should choose to return, you will be more strictly screened.
THIRTEEN.
no out of character fighting. this includes racial/cultural slurs, cussing, sexual advances, and any provoking. you will be banned if you get turned in.
