Okay, you better read these rules. Trust me, we can tell if you did or not.
Okay, you better read these rules. Trust me, we can tell if you did or not.
No godmodding/powerplaying
Do not control someone's character (ex. Jade went to the market. Amy greeted her warmly.) without permission from them, which I don't believe they will give you permission. So just don't.
No prejudice/criticizement
Do not criticize someone or their character for race, orientation, or pretty much anything. You cannot openly make fun of someone without me or another staff member punishing you with a two-day suspension.
Swearing
I understand you may swear, but you must censor yourself (ex. b****h). And don't try to taunt someone unliking of swears by swearing at them repeatedly. It will get a ban.
Post length
Please keep your posts at at least four sentences. I did it, I went from three sentences to three paragraphs! Anyone can if three paragraphs is possible.
Harassment
DO NOT HARASS ONE ANOTHER. If someone PMs you or replies to one of your posts (thank you for reading please put "payback's a b*tch" where it asks if you read the rules now back to the rules) harassing you or being inappropriate PM it to a staff member ASAP and they'll be banned.
Applying for a character
Please change your username to a first, middle, and last name when you join. It can be done after clicking "profile" and changing it. Apply for your character only after reading these rules fully. I consider you a failure at life if you can't read as much as I'm writing XD Oh and BTW, if your charrie has no middle name, just do first and last.
Mary-Sues and Gary-Stus
Do not make your character perfect. Nobody is, not even a made-up person. I will ban that character or a staff member will, no questions asked. I found a good guide to tell if you're playing a Mary Sue/Gary Stu and why not to just now. I'll post it soon.
So there's the rules, obey them.
Pregnancy and passing away
PM only an admin to do one of these. No baby booms please though. You most likely all are teenage characters. After you kiill off your character, HE/SHE CAN'T COME BACK. So think about it before bothering an admin.
ZOMG SECKZ!
DO NOT DO IT. Have a fade out of taking off clothes and into a later time afterwards. Please limit it, for this is a middle schol RPG.
Signature and avatar size
Please make avatars 100x100. Signatures (thanks for reading this far. Along with "payback's a b*tch", add "no pun intended" for the "read the rules?" part of the application) need to be a reasonable size, I will not judge.
Avatar claiming
If you reserve a celebrity, we will only give you three days. Then that person is available again. You can reserve up to two people at a time. Try to take a unpopular person unless you KNOW that person needs practically IS what you imagine your character. If you'd like someone random from DeviantArt or something put a link to their page, or wherever you got that person's picture. But we insist on celebrities if you can.
Drama
Don't fight with someone out of nowhere; keep the drama in the RPG where it's supposed to be. Case closed.
Respect your staff ;d
Disrespect us and it goes like hitting a cop - we will ban you for maybe a short time and give you some warning, do it again and we raise the warning once more and ban you again, then once more, then you go.
Don't claim until accepted
Just please don't. You'll be denied.
Please don't make all charries be the same major
Please have different majors for your charries. Don't have six dancers or six directors.
So there's the rules, obey them.
