* the rules ,
GENERAL,[/font]
// Well, you have to respect your fellow members and most importantly, the staff. To be on the safe side, just respect everyone. We do not like rude people so try to be nice during out of character talk.[/blockquote]
// Whatever the admins say goes. You can negotiate but what they say is final.
// Plagiarism is not allowed on this site. Any member who does this would be banned.
// Of course, be active! Post at least once or twice a week. Unactive accounts would be deleted, unless you have posted in the ABSENT thread.
CHARACTER,[/font]
// Your character cannot have the same name as it's face claim. Use your creativity to come up with a name.[/blockquote]
// Make sure that your character's face claim is appropriate for your charrie's age. For example, you can't be using Miley Cyrus for a College freshman. That's just wrong.
// Characters should be 14 to 22 years old. No more, no less. This is a high school and college rp.
// I absolutely hate Mary Sues, and the guy version of that. No perfect characters! That's a rule. Everyone has a flaw, ok?
// Be realistic. Not everyone got abused by their step-father or given away by their parents at birth. Not everyone is rich either. Some people are actually normal. Most people are normal.
// If your character had sex, PM Miles to find out if your character is pregnant.
// No face claims from myspace, flickr, and you know, all those. Only celebrities, please. That includes internet celebrities and models.
// Please post in claims right after you get accepted. High school students don't have to post in the sororities and fraternities thread.
APPLICATION,[/font]
// Please do not change anything on the application template. Leave it as it is. If you don't understand anything about it, feel free to contact the admins.[/blockquote]
// Do not ask the staff to approve your applications. We will approve it as soon as we are free. Nagging at us may cost you your account, so don't do it please!
// Incomplete applications need to be posted in the right board and have to be finished within five days.
// No posting until your application has been accepted. The only place you may post in is in the c-box and out of character section.
// When you have finished your application, change your username to your character's first, middle and last name, all in lowercase. Also, make sure you have a 100x100 avatar of your character and a signature.
POSTING,[/font]
// No chat speak. This is a literate rp site. Please make sure you use proper grammar and punctuation. We will tolerate it if you do make a few mistakes though. We all do so at times. But not all the time.[/blockquote]
// Posting is at a minimum of 250 words, nothing less. If you ask us, this is very easy. Plus, you don't have to fill up that much detail. We know becoming museless can't be avoided. But this never lasts forever. It's not very nice for someone to post like 700 words and only get 250 words back.
// This site allows cussing, drugs, and other things along these lines. This is a reality rp. All these things happen in real life. And remember, though cussing is allowed, don't use it in every sentence. Also, if your character is having sex or something, please post [R] or [MATURE] in the title.
// Never, ever nag at someone to reply to your thread. It's not easy to wait for someone to do so, but it is very rude and annoying if you do so. Plus, people have lives and life can get pretty hectic. But you may ask the other person politely.
// This is regarding the previous rule. Make sure to reply to your threads as soons as you can. And we do mean soon. It isn't very nice to make the other person wait for two weeks for a single reply and the other replies everyday. (This rule is not applicable if you are away due to a valid reason in your real life.)
// No one is psychic. Always remember that. You cannot always know what the other character is thinking or the underlying meaning of their actions. You might also not forsee the secret phrase which is living the life. You also cannot forsee another's actions and control another person's character.
// Make sure your posts are in size 1 or 0. It looks much neater in that fashion.
// Post in third person. Never post: "I went to the market." It must be: "Suzy went to the market."
