01. BE RESPECTFUL
Have fun. You came here to have some, so please don't ruin my day and everyone else's by being a drama queen. Although incredibly entertaining to read, we don't delight when it happens in the cbox. We do realize you may not love everyone you come across, although we kind of hope you do.
02. BE REALISTIC
Yes, this is a roleplay. It does require you to suspend disbelief, however that doesn't mean your character is invincible. No power play. Make sure your character has flaws, and good ones too. Those are the most fun characters to play - the more imperfect they are, the better! Power play is only "technically" allowed under one circumstance, and that is only unless you are given previous permission by the owner. We recognize that sometimes writing partners get to know each other's styles well enough that they tend to compliment and flow together better this way.
03. BE ATTENTIVE
Mostly towards your writing. While we're certainly not hardcore on getting all your grammar correct, we at least expect to see correct spelling, or at the very least good attempts. Rereading your own posts and writing is not only a good habit, but it will also help you catch mistakes. There is a 300 word count minimum for roleplay posts. Grammar police. We has them. Please don't lower our brain cell count any by using "net speak," or "text talk." We may have to twitch a little and die inside.
04. BE ORGANIZED
We are sticking to one character per account. Please also have an OOC account That's the one folks will be PMing.
05. BE ACTIVE
While we don't expect you to post everyday, at least logging on occasionally shouldn't be a problem. That said, nobody is going to be keeping track. Just try not to keep people waiting. We do hate waiting for those good story updates. :3
06. BE CREATIVE
Not so much a rule as a suggestion. While there will be site arcs and events, you're going to have to find things to do yourself. Especially when creating your character, consider what his or her goals might be and then actively pursue them. Remember that socials are good too!
Along those same lines don't make characters all one gender or persuasion. Example... You have 3 female characters.. Make a guy. Thanks!
07. BE SOCIAL
Drop into the cbox and say "hi" sometimes. It can get pretty lonely in there. We don't bite. (Not unless you want us to...)
Additional Note: Not reading the rules does not mean you are not subject to them because of ignorance. The rules apply whether you read them or not.
