Le Rules
1.) This site is literate to advanced. I repeat; literate to advanced! I understand that sometimes the muse just packs up and takes a vacation, but it would be really great if you could post at least three paragraphs for each post. Sure every now and then you can post a little less than that, but it can't be like twice in a row or something. And NO ONE LINERS. I hate them. If I see one, I just might send my rabid monkeys to your house. Also, the paragraphs need to be five sentences or more, none of that two sentence paragraph stuff. =)
2.) Um, please use size 1 font when posting in a thread. You don't have to when you're posting in something insignificant like, face claims or something. But when you're roleplaying it would be really great if you used size 1. I don't know why but it bugs me when people make their font any bigger than that.
3.) If you're going to use some type of color for your font, make sure it doesn't make anyone's eyes bleed. kthx. =D
4.) Absolutely no gm or pp. Play your own character, not someone else's. I know it's hard sometimes in certain situations, but there is only one exception to this rule. Put 'I love roleplaying' under other in your application. If you must gm or pp, then please ask the person your roleplaying with for permission. Also, if you plan on shooting someone, you should probably plan it out with whoever you're roleplaying with first. No killing, unless the person's okay with it.
5.) Please make your character like...15+. I'd rather not have 14 and 10 year olds running around. I mean..It is a gang roleplay. The only exception is if someone gets pregnant and the baby grows throughout the roleplay. Just make the pregnancy length reasonable, like she can't be pregnant for a two days then have the baby. Wait at least a week before the baby is born.
6.) This is a mature site. Sex, violence, drug use, the works. If you choose to roleplay an extreme of any of those things put a M in the board title. That way if someone is uncomfortable with that kind of stuff, they know not to look at that board. Also, before roleplaying any of those, ask whoever you're roleplaying with if their okay with it. Not everybody is, so avoid an awkward moment by asking first.
7.) Check the claims pretty please. Don't complain to me if you're favorite celebrity was taken. Find a different one. Post in the claims, post in the claims, post in the claims. You're celeb can be stolen if you don't. =O
8.) I don't care if you or your character curses. As long as I don't see a sentence with damn or shit in between every other word. Just make it reasonable.
9.) Stay in character. If you're, let's say, a disciple and you start a roleplay with someone apart of a rival gang. You cannot just automatically start a relationship with that person just because he or she is cute. Please don't do that. They're rivals for a reason. You can gradually start a relationship, but not right off the bat. This isn't a Romeo and Juliet roleplay.
10.) Please treat each and every member of this site with respect. I don't want any fighting or whatever. We should all be a bit happy family. Kay? Kay.
11.) No inappropriate images anywhere. I'd rather not see anyone's character but naked, thanks. And I don't care about image sizes, as long as it doesn't stretch the board. Please do not stretch the board. If you do, I will remove the image and you'll have to resize it. Nothing over 300 pixels in height for signatures though. Only one image in your signature, unless you're using avatars.
12.) You can have as many characters as you can handle. The only rule is that you have to make seperate accounts for all of them. Same goes with threads; as many as you can handle. Don't start five threads if you can only be active in two. You must be active in all of your threads.
13.) Try to stay active. I worked hard on this site, all alone, and I'd hate to see it crumble because of inactive members. If you don't feel like roleplaying, then post something in the ooc board. If you post an unfinished application, then you have one week to finish it or else I'll have to delete it. If you post an application and are accepted you've got a week to post an in-character thread or else I'll have to delete it.
14.) You must register and make an account to be apart of this site. I see other sites with guests post threads and for some reason it just annoys me. It just looks out of place. So please make an account if you plan on joining. When you do make an account, make your display name the first and last name of your character, in all lower case letters.
15.) Let's try to keep the genders close to even. I don't want like two boys and five girls. That's just not cool. Also, I don't want all the characters to be like..The same. What I mean is, I want a variety of people, emos, preps, bad boys, etc. I want them ALL.
16.) You must, must, must have a celebrity for your character, or a decent amount of pictures if the person isn't a celebrity, such as myspace or vampirefreaks people. But you have to have pictures, no anime cartoonish stuffs.
Alrighty, I think that's all I've got to say for now. That wasn't so bad, eh? =D
