THE RULES
_____________________________________

Okay, most of you don't want to read the rules. Neither do I. Basically everyone should have the common sense to know most of the general RP stuff. No gmod/powerplay, no killing characters without the person's permission, marysues are bad, blah blah, be nice to the members and respect the staff, blah more blah, no spamming the boards, no super massive graphics, more blah. You guys should know all this. If you're not sure...ask we're not trolls, promise.

Easy peasy, lemon squeazey, right?

The rest of this is forum specific stuff that isn't necessarily common sense and you might not know .

ACTIVITY


• Keep your account active. If we do not hear from you within three weeks, you will be considered inactive and may lose your claims. If you have a canon character, you will be warned, and then it may be given to someone else who can be more active with it. ALSO if you do not post within a month, even if you log in every day, your canon can be taken away.
  
  
• Face claims are forfeit after 3 weeks of not logging in OR a month without posting in an RP.
  
  
• Canon characters must make at least 3 RP posts every month. No exceptions.
  
  CHARACTERS
  
  
• You may have as many Characters as you'd like, activity allowing.
  
  
• Members must have one male for every THREE female characters they play. They will not be allowed a fourth female without first creating a male.
  
  
• No Vampire/Werewolf romances. {exception: contest winners that have chosen this allowance as a prize}
  
  
• No bringing back dead characters. If you kill them off they stay that way.
  
  
• All species aside from Half-Vampires may have children.
  
  If you want your character to have a child you need to apply to be a parent. Please post your application in the correct board we've designated for this.
  
  
• One character per account.
  
  
• If you make a human, they need to STAY human for at least a month, before you are allowed to have them changed, at which time you need to notify staff, and we'll go ahead and change your membergroup if you link us to the thread.
  
  
• Anime characters are not allowed to be used as face claims.
  
  GENERAL
  
  
• PLAGIARIZING (other people's applications) and COPY/PASTING (wiki, source sites) Don't do it. Period. We will not accept copied or stolen applications.
  
  
• No R-rated threads. Nothing over PG-13. Use your judgment- you know what's appropriate and what's not.
  
  
• Every RP post should be 100 words or more.
  
  
• You may not place a claim of any type (jobs, housing, face claim, diaries, etc.) until after you are accepted.
  
  
• Listen to the Staff. If you think you've been treated unfairly by a staff member or another member, contact Heidi or Richard.
