001 | First thing's first, this site is made PG-13 due to Proboards TOS. If you have not taken a look at them yet, I suggest you do so here. As we are all over 13 here and mature, we do accept death, mates, and pregnancy. You are just not allowed to thread out sex/violent or birthing. You MUST PM a staff member about that fight/death/marriage/pregnancy. If a marriage or pregnancy occurs, both partners must stay active or the event will not follow through.
002 | Post in third person! It just makes sense from if you go from one post to another. We know who you are talking about in third person. We don’t like having to go back to the character profile to figure out who “I” is. And second person is just a weird way of typing, I don’t think anyone understand that, and if you do, hats off to you, but we don’t use it here. First person is to only be used with the permission of staff and the other roleplayers in your thread.
003 | You are allowed to have an icon of your character. That icon can be no larger than 200 pixels wide by 400 pixels tall. If it's larger, then it will automatically be sized down. It must be of your character that is that profile. You are allowed to have a signature of your character. It can be no larger than 550x300. Any longer and it doesn't look right/stretches the page. It must be of your character that is that profile. You are provided with a default image from us so don't worry if you don't have an avatar. Do NOT use an avatar smaller than the specified size. It makes the board look messy.
004 | There is a word count of 150 words here, though we do encourage you post more. This is a learning forum and some players are older than others and more experienced. If you’re posting more than your RP partner, try to cope with the smaller post and encourage them to raise their word count, but don’t nag, nobody likes a nagger, it annoys us and then we don’t do what you ask. Thank you.
REGISTRATION
005 | Please register with your character name. This site is 1 account per character. Your name can later be changed to your character's full name (if they have a middle/last name) so don't worry about that. Just make sure we don't get any sparkles098758. No one wants that. As of right now, only staff members are allowed an OOC account. Sorry guys.
CHARACTERS
006 | Each character you make should follow the restrictions of their class. Classes restrict mainly size but also guides personality. Please follow these guides appropriately.
007 | Bios are allowed to be posted even when they are still being worked on. Actually, we prefer that so that we know you are working on a character and haven't forgotten about us. Bios must be filled out properly to be accepted. This means nothing to make the template look different from the others. I've spent a good deal of time working on that bio, please do not change it. You are allowed to add things to it, but no changing the bio up for it to look different.
008 | Characters left abandon and/or inactive (and/or players inactivity) for more than 30+ days, their character(s) will be moved to the deceased character boards and will be considered dead. If you must be away for a long period of time due to circumstances beyond your control, you must post about such things in the absences board. We will work with you to the best of our ability.
009 | Characters must age according to what season they were born in. If a character was born in the spring, the next time spring rolls around, they will age one year. It is important to keep up on this this as you have two weeks from the start of the season the new season starts on the first of the month) to edit the age in your character bio. Staff will not edit it for you! We have more important things to be doing than to reprimand people over age.
CHAT BOX
010 | Do not spam, advertise in, or bash the site/members of this site in the CBox. If it's a member that is doing this, I will confront you and/or them about it. If it continues, I will take action. All advertising should be done in the forum designated for advertising. And spamming, well it's just not nice. The cbox is there specifically for communicating with other members and guests. Not for your random typing pleasures. staff members may be identified by a white name.
PUNISHMENT
011 | For any rule breakers out there, a PM will be sent to you once we have found that you have broken a rule above asking you to fix it. If you have not responded (to the PM or by fixing it) within a week, you will be sent an email of your violation. If it has still not been fixed within a week after that, your account will be banned.
If you do fix it, time will go on. If you break the rules 2 more times, your account will be suspended for a period of time upon staff discussion.
If you repeat after your account has been suspended, you will no longer be able to play the game with us.
