Basic Rules
General:
Activity:
On this site, activity is key. No one is going to force you to post, but we hope you¡¦ll enjoy it so much here that you¡¦ll do it of your own accord! We just want to keep it alive and kicking, so please post as much as possible, and with as much punctuality as you can. If you are having problems with muse or having time to write posts, write an explanation on the Away board and you¡¦ll be one hundred percent forgiven. Furthermore, we want as much diversity as we can have, so if you can, do threads with a number of different members rather than just the same. We understand you have specific friendships and relationships with characters of other members, but expanding the horizons of your own characters is always encouraged!
Politeness to Members:
Above all else, on this site, we advocate these three characteristics in our members. Other sites have closed because of OOC drama, and wed love to keep this place alive and well. Firstly, respect other members, and the staff. I honestly don¡¦t think anyone here would bully or mock another member, disrespect them or their beliefs, or make them feel inferior in any way. However, it has to be said that compassion for the other people here is very important. I'm not saying you have to like them, just be civil.
Fun:
Our aim here is to have the feel of a big family, to abolish any possible cliques and keep everything relaxed. We are here to help you. We are here to give you a great site. We are not here for a popularity contest. We are not here to pressure you to post, we understand that real life will always come first and you¡¦ll post when you can, that¡¦s enough for us! Enjoy your stay everyone, may it be a lengthy, satisfying, and memorable one!
- No fighting in the cbox, keep it in PMs.
- Though there should be no fighting at all. If it gets out of hand and one of the admins hear about it the staff will step in.
- This is a MATURE rpg, maybe not in the roleplaying but how we treat each other.
- Only one human/vampire per account please. This keeps things clean and neat.
- Please keep you account name to your character's name.
- Sorry to say, but there is a limit on what powers you can have, please check the powers thread.
General:
Special Word:
In the application, there is a question about a special word. Please just write "123 ABC". Stupid we know, but it¡¦s to show you have read the rules.
[li]Please use the format given.
[/li][li]Not everyone was raped by their uncle, beaten by their father or abandoned by their mother. Enough said.
[/li][li]Wait to be accepted before posting anywhere else. If an admin doesn't reply to your application, in a week then please message them. NO harassing the admins.
[/li][li]If you use a canon, please put it in the title beside the characters name.
[/li][li]You do not have to create a vampire every time you join. We encourage both. So say you do your first character as a vampire, you could do your second as a human. If we have to, we will put a ban on either race.
[/li][li] Same applys for genders. We encourage both. So say you do your first character as a girl, you could do your second as a guy. If we have to, we will put a ban on either gender.[/li][/ul][/left]
Posting
[/u][/b]General:
Thoughts, Talking and Replying:
So to keep the posts neat, could you please define your speech with something? Like maybe a different color or in bold. And with thoughts another different color or in italics. Anything at all just to make them stand out against the actions of your character and the person's your roleplaying with.
Post:
Literacy is highly cherished here, however we will not set a minimum post length. We have one simple rule for you to abide by when it comes to length: meet the standard of the person you're RPing with. If they post two paragraphs, you must post at least two as well and at good lengths; a paragraph is at least five well-structured sentences. This is a place made for expression of yourself and your talents, if the other person puts a lot of expression and emotion and thought into a post, it's only fair that you at least try to give them the same gift they gave you. You are all capable of amazing writing at great lengths!
Type Intelligently:
Man is the most intelligent race on the planet, and if you were accepted it means you have the capability of typing to the standard of this intelligent. This means that in IC threads, save for cell phones and AIM threads, do not use chat speak, always capitalize when necessary, and, I cannot stress this enough? do not TyPe lIkE tHiS.
- Drinking are also allowed on the basis that you are of age.
- Swearing is allowed to an extent. We don't want everyone swearing their heads off.
- Please write in paragraph form.
- Paragraphs are to be the same amount as the person you are roleplaying with or more.
- NO chatspeak in posts. Unless it is obviously defined.
e.g [ooc: write whatever here] - NO double posting, give other people a chance.
- Please use the spell check. Its not that hard just hit the spellcheck button though accidents can happen I understand.
Vampires/Humans
- Its pretty basic, NO godmoding. Give other people a chance.
- Please be realistic when you post. Humans aren't super beings.
- Concerning mixed breed couples pregnancies. You will PM on of the admins with you and your characters person's permission. Within the letter you need to say whether you would like the baby to be a vampire or a human. NO crossbreeds [vampirexhuman]. You will be made to wait around nine days and then the admin will message you back with th gender of your baby.
- Concerning straight breed couples pregnancies. You will PM on of the admins with you and your characters person's permission. You do not get to choose what your baby is, if you are both human then your baby is human and vice versa. NO crossbreeds [vampirexhuman]. You will be made to wait around nine days and then the admin will message you back with th gender of your baby.
- When posting, no mary sues please, not every character is perfect.
- Concerning mixed breeds; There are NO mixed breeds [vampirexhuman].
- You may kill someone or turn them as long as you have the said person's permission.
