These are just some general rules that I'd like you guys to read and bear in mind whilst playing here.
001: No player is allowed to make their character invincible and perfect. We all like to be powerful but no one is God-like; they all have their weaknesses and flaws.
002: Please be aware that we want active players. We expect a post from your character once a week as a minimum, if you have a canon that should be twice a week. Please put up an away thread if unable to post. There will be activity check every month. Also from joining you have 7 days to complete your bio, after that it will be archived. If special permission has been given for the character (IE an OC Canon like a founding family member who doesn't appear on the show), you will need to ask if it's still ok.
003: All characters must be represented by different models and have different names. No Lukas and Lucas, no Brittany and Britney. Also, no one may use a cartoon picture/anime/manga/drawing to represent their character. It MUST be of an actual person [model/celebrity etc] and not already be in use by another player.
004: We encourage players to have multiple characters - the more, the merrier. However to ensure activity we ask that after your first THREE character you must post TEN IN CHARACTER POSTS for each character you have after your original three.
For example if you had three character Bill, Ben and Betty, you need to have ten in character posts for all of them before you make a fourth character.
005: If you have a vampire, they cannot be older than 550 (unless canon). If you wish your vampire to be older please contact Cat.
006: Please bare in mind the timeline of the site - SEASON 3. Characters out with this season have to be approved by staff.
PLOTLINES
007: NO, I say again NO major character storylines without having it approved by the WHOLE Mod Team. Ignoring this rule is the quickest way to get yourself banned.
008: No Godmoding. This means that you MAY NOT move, talk for, injure, maim or kill another players character without the expressed permission of that player and a Mod. It also means that you cannot hear private thoughts. Just because someone is thinking something in a post with you, it doesn't mean you know about it. Likewise, any information about a character that is in their profile or a post that is not directly verbalised to you, assume that you don't know it.
009: Please remember pro-boards has a mature adult/graphic content policy so no raunchy posts please. thanks.
010: Strictly NO one liners. Give your posts a bit of substance. ALL posts should be a bare minimum of 300 words.
011: When posting, please write in the third person, past tense: e.g. she said, Mary asked, John replied. Not in the first person, e.g. I said, I asked, I walked etc. Also, no net-speak. Proper grammar and spelling is required
012: Please, when choosing your banners, ensure that they are no wider than 500px and no taller than 340px. If they are, they will be resized or deleted.
013: The rules here are only here to ensure the smooth running of the game, not to hinder anyone or stunt their creative growth. If we all take note of them, the game will flow along nicely and all the boys and girls will be able to play together in harmony! so we know you've read the rules please type the three, yes three, passwords at the very bottom of your profile or audition where it says anything else.
014: If you are cheeky or start wasting the staff's time, you will not be welcomed here.
015: Your character will be looked at, but we all have lifes, wait and we will look it over. Sometimes we need to discuss it, this takes TIME!!!!!!
THAT'S IT! Thanks for reading this.
