General Rules
- To us as admins, activity is really important, so please make sure before you join that you can commit to the site and be active. The worst thing on a site is a whole bunch of inactive accounts cluttering up everything. If you haven't posted within 3 days of joining you will be sent a reminder PM, if you haven't posted within 5 days your account will be deleted. If you plan to join, but then the next day you know you are going on holidays, please refrain from joining until you return, or are able to stay active.
- Activity checks will be held once a month. A PM, and en e-mail will be sent out to notify you of the Check, you will be given 7 days to post at the activity check, failure to do so will result in your account being deleted.
- This site is an intermediate-advanced site, so word count in a minimum of 500. 500 hundred words is roughly 3 good sized paragraphs, which is very achievable if you are calling yourself intermediate or advanced. Word maximum is 1300, I don't see why on earth anyone would want or need to write that much for a single post.
- When joining feel free to have a user name of your choice, but please make your display name the FULL name of your character e.g. Arianna . Please do not put anything in front of your name, please do not use capital letters like this; ArIaNnA, is is incredibly annoying, and difficult to read.
- One character per account, initially 2 accounts per member. After a month of keep both characters active (the month starting from the time you join your second character) you are allowed to have a 3rd account.This is to avoid you having ridiculous amounts of characters but only one of them being active. Please only create another character if you are ABSOLUTELY positive you will be able to keep them both active.
- This forum is rated M for Mature, please do not join if you do not feel comfortable with people swearing and other mature content such as drugs, alcohol and sexual references.
- Proboards TOS disallows sexual graphic content, so if yours and another persons character is getting hot and heavy you need to fade to black. For example;
Fred ran his hand up Sally's leg, his fingers worked to undo the buttons on her jeans. When he finally undid all the buttons he slid her pants off.
- God modding, and power playing are not permitted. If you are in a violent thread with another character, and you feel the need to power play, first ask permission of the other person you are rping with, then AND ONLY then, is power playing permitted. But under absolutely no circumstances is god modding permitted.
- Murder is permitted on this site, but requires the permission of the person you plan on killing. This forum is a medieval fantasy, so what we will NOT permit is you whipping out a handgun and shooting the character in the head, its just not realistic.
- No marry-sues. I cannot stress how much this riles me up. A marry-sue is an obviously perfect character, ie, good looks, great personality, gets all the guys, you get the idea. This goes for those male characters as well. We'd like the characters to be realistic, not perfect.
- Staff are holy, they know the rules, and the will enforce them. The penalty for breaking rules go as follows; first offense- Warning, second offense- Warning and a two day ban, third offense- week long ban, fourth offense- permanent ban. We don't want to have to ban anyone, so please follow the rules.
Thank you, and have fun rping.
