1) SIX sentences per post! Nothing less.
2) You must use correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, tense, and all that good stuff.
"Joe;s bakpack was dieing!11zzz111!. Hiz i's wottert as hee thumbood for the sowing''s machine! ,hang on buddy you'll make it!, he shouted as he rummiged for sum needle''s!
That is incorrect for many reasons.
1) The punctuation totally sucked.
2) You will not win a Spelling Bee with that kind of spelling, kiddo.
3) Why would you want to roleplay something like that, anyway?
4) Etc, etc.
If you roleplay like that, go and stick needles in your eyes or something. Never should we ever catch anyone roleplaying like that.
Correct way:
Joe's backpack was dying. His eyes watered as he fumbled for the sewing machine. "Hang on buddy you'll make it!" He shouted as he rummaged for some needles.
3) Detail. Detail is everything. Detail is what makes a post interesting, what keeps the reader reading. If you don't have enough detail, people get bored easily.
4) Caps lock is highly annoying. Even I use it at times, but it still annoys me. If your character is shouting, use exclamation points. Don't go overboard with them, though. And don't use caps lock. You can in OOC, I guess; but not in roleplay.
Unacceptable:
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! I HATE YOU!!!!!
See, look! Caps lock and going way overboard on the punctuation.
5) No netspeak! Not in roleplay, not in cbox, not in OOC. This is netspeak:
omgzzzz guyz did u c da moovie last nite?
*cough*Dumb!*cough* Don't type like that. Please. Just...don't. You're taught English for a reason, you know!
6) God modding. Okay, we all do it. Even if we don't think we do, we do. God modding is whenever you take someone Else's character and control it. You're not God, so what gives you the right? This is godmodding:
"Hi," Cloey said, before grabbing a pie and throwing it at Bob's face. Bob fell backas Cloey kept throwing more and more pies.
Urrrghhhhh. Die. Never god mode, it's for new roleplayers. And I certainly do hope that if you're joining this site, you are an intermediate roleplayer.
7) No killing off someone's character without their permission! You must have their permission before killing them. Or you can face the consequences.
8) If your character is in a fight, you HAVE to let your character get hurt. Not dramatically, but at least say he/she felt the pain. Even Superman got hurt.
If your opponent shoots you or something, and you say 'Cloey didn't feel the shot! It didn't even wound her! She just laughed and killed him!', I may have to kill you myself.
9) There is no way your character can be immortal. There will be no acceptions for that.
10) When you register, you must register as your character's first and last name. Like this: 'emoryjacobs'. Not 'steelersfan1z1' or 'devilgirl176'.
11) If you want to kill off your character, you must PM an admin first.
12) Your character may not be perfect. This means they are absolutely flawless. Everyone loves them. Their hair is perfect. Their life is perfect. Their personality is perfect. Flaws make the character more interesting.
13) No advertising through PMs.
14) No bashing, spamming, racism, porn etc. will be tolerated.
15) You are allowed three characters. If you want a fourth character, and an admin sees that you have kept your past 3 active, you may have one. But you must keep all of them active!
16) Drama is pretty much awesome. But please don't go overboard with it. Take your time. For example, if your character is pregnant don't automatically make her have the baby. That is just dumb.
17) You are allowed to cuss, but keep it realistic.
18) Sex is allowed, but please - nothing graphic! If you do roleplay sexual things, please have a warning in the title!
19) Only humans allowed.
20) No copy writing someone else's character. If you lack so much creativity that you have to take someone else's character and claim it your own, you're pretty much retarded.
21) Signatures may not be huge. If we see that a signature is stretching the page or something, we will ask you to resize it. Or one of us can do it for you.
22) Please make your avatars 100x100. Smaller avatars tend to look sloppy.
23) You must have 15 roleplay posts in order to advertise your own forum.
24) If you advertise on our site, you must advertise ours on yours. Deal? Deal.
25) Don't advertise in our Cbox either. Kind of thought this might be a little obvious, given it really is kind of common courtesy. It's far more benificial to your roleplay site to advertise in the appropraite place, because then more people have the chance of seeing it.
26) We're right, you're wrong. Even when we are making the wrong decision, we're still right. This means the admins. Got a problem? Don't join. 'Cause we can go all b!tchy on you in a split second.
27) If your character is pregnant, you MUST have fifty roleplay posts until she can have the baby!
28) Follow these rules and have fun. =D
*PUNISHMENTS:
First time broken: Warning
Second: Suspension
Third: Ban
Three chances, okay? And that's all you'll get. No acceptions.
Put this in your application to show you have read these rules. You must put it in orange.
"I, name here, have read the rules and will obey them. I understand the consequences of breaking the rules of site name and understand and agree to the consequences."
P.S, it'll be obvious if you haven't read these. So for your sake, read them or leave. Kthnxbai.
