1. Be respectful.
Above all rules, this is the most important. If you can't respect one another, then you don't need to be here.
2. You have to be at least THIRTEEN years old to join.
This isn't my rule. It's a proboards official rule.
3. No godmoding/powerplaying.
This means that you can not control someone else's character, and yours cannot be invincible. Keep this as realistic as possible.
4. Have fun.
Yeah, there aren't alot of rules for a reason. I want people to have fun. So enjoy!
5. Sexs/Drugs/Alcohol.
Yes, proboards says that we're not to promote it, but I think that since this is roleplaying it should be okay. I mean, roleplaying is supposed to be realistic, and let's get real; this stuff does happen in daily life. So just warn somebody if your thread has any of these things in it by posting three number signs [###] in the title of the thread.
7. No One-Liners.
When you are writing a post, make it at least four sentences. Try to keep from posting one liners because they are really hard to work with. IF YOU POST ANY LESS THAN FOUR LINES, YOU WILL GET A WARNING. IF YOU GET THREE WARNINGS, WE WILL DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT. YOU MAY MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT, BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO USE A NEW NAME, PLOT, EVERYTHING. We know this is harsh, but we're a hardcore rp site.
8. No two people may use the same celebrity.
The only way to get around this rule is if you are twins, and in that case both participants must agree. If you want to use a celeb, please first check the official celebrity claim thread. If the celeb you want to use is already being used, then I'm sorry but too bad, you have to find someone else. If the celeb is not being used, make sure you sign up for him/her so that nobody else can claim him/her. If you are using a celebrity, even if you have been for a really long time, if you don't sign up for him/her and someone else signs up for him/her before you, then you have to change your celeb. SO MAKE SURE YOU CLAIM YOUR CELEBRITY.
9. Wait Until You Are Accepted
Once you apply, wait until you are accepted before roleplaying. My staff and I are very quick when it comes to these things and you shouldn't be waiting very long. Also don't sign up for anything until you are accepted. You may claim your celebrity and play games while you are waiting to be accepted, but that's about it.
10. You MUST have a full name in your display name!
I find it extremely tacky to have just the username or the first name of your character in your display name. So from now on, in order for me to accept your application, you MUST have a first and last name for your display name. If you aren't sure how to change it, message me and I'll help you.
11. You must apply.
Before you can do anything, you have to fill out an application. This means you can't sign up for anything and you can't play games and you most certainly can't rp until you have posted an application. Once you have posted an application, see rule #9.
12. Your name/character must be original!
This is a biggy. If you have what it takes to apply and rp on the site then you should have enough creativity to come up with your own name. So I don't want any Harry Potters or Ron Weasley's running around. I also don't want any Ashley Tisdale's or Hannah Montana's running around either. I don't have a problem with you using those people as your celebrity, but you can't use their name and/or history. Be creative. It's not hard to find a name. Just google it.
