rules
Follow them.
01. Please do not swear excessively. A bit is fine, but there is such a thing as too much.
02. You, as a member of this board, must be polite to all other patrons and obey staff. Money may make the real world go 'round, but here it can't save you from the warnings (and eventually ban) that come from being a snobby, rude rulebreaker.
03. No one-liners IC. On all RP posts, there is a word minimum of 75. If you can make more than 175 though, we'd love that.
04. Keep nudity and drugs out of your images. This is pretty much common sense. On that note, excessive gore, violence, and sexual topics should be avoided in graphics.
05. If you are going to use a posting table... Don't make it look like somebody vomited up crayons on it. AKA Don't make it a collage of neon colors. That hurts people's eyes. Try to stick to colors that don't clash with the forum skin. I will be lenient on this rule, however. Just use common sense.
06. Do not steal art or content! Credit the original artist and if you're not sure if you can use it here, please ask the artist.
07. Don't stretch pages with your images. Signature images should be no more than 500 pixels wide, 450 pixels tall. Avatars should be no more than 100x100.
08. Sexual topics should not be seen by the public. We do allow PM RPs - use that method if you really want to do the Wild Thang.
09. No god-modding, autohits, and the like. Example:
Good: Chuck threw the stone, attempting to hit Beth in the head with it.
Bad: Chuck threw the stone, hitting Beth in the head.
10. Do not beg to be staff. I will appoint whoever I deem capable.
11. This is a no-consent site. Meaning, your character might just die. Your character might just be taken prisoner. Anything might happen, and most of that stuff will happen regardless of whether or not you like it.
12. Keep your characters in check. No more than 10. You will be asked to kill some off, or put some for adoption, if you are unable to handle this.
13. Do not talk about things that could be seen as sexist, racist, or religious. Just to be safe.
14. If you cannot fill out a character application within a week of joining, your account will be deleted.
The first word of the secret phrase is pumpkin.
faq
Frequently asked dumb questions.
"How many characters can we have to each account?"
You can have all of your characters on one account, or an account for each one, an account for the ladies and one for the guys - I don't care as long as we know who belongs to who.
"Do I need an OOC account?"
For normal members, the answer is no. For staff members, yes.
"How long do I have to post after making a character?"
If activity is low, you've got three weeks. If not, then one week. All of this is deemed unnecessary if you let me know that you're not going to post yet.
"What kinds of things can I get for my characters as extras?"
You can fill out special ability applications at the Front Desk.
"What can I do to become a staff member?"
You can help other members, be nice, be active, and talk to me often. I would like to get to know every staff member a bit.
"Where can I get more help or information on <insert topic here>?"
If there is anything extra, I will provide it in a thread or a footnote in the general area of the topic.
The second and last word of the secret phrase is hat.
