These are the offical rules. Never under any circumstaces will these be changed without admins PMing everyone and having an announcement so you'll only need to read these once unless you forget something.
*The RPGing Categories*
If you are here for the RPing, which I figure most of you are, these rules are very important for you to follow.
1. Bios must be placed in the bios/Character sheet board.
2. The Characters that are listed in someone's bios but aren't going to be made by the same person are for anyone who wants them. However their Bios must correspond with the Original Bio.
3. You are responsible for reading and knowing whats going on.
4. You MUST understand what is going on in the RP's before you post. You can't post something like "Amy walked over to the group and smiled. "Hi!" she said." Post something that makes sense.
5. You MUST make gender clear. If your writing about Alex make sure to put a gender defining word in the post somewhere. It'll make it easier for others to respond.
6. Posts cannot be one-two sentences. This includes dialog. If you want to RP your post must be a minimum of three sentences and cannot be entirely dialog. Hints: After your character says something don't aways do the '(person's name) said.' thing. There are so many other ways to put things. For instance instead of, '"do we have to work on lore today? I want to shift instead." Jake said.' Instead say: '"Do we have to work on lore today? I want to shift instead." The grumpy kid complained.'
7. ALL your characters MUST be listed in your character's log. The reason is if you adopt someone, say Jessica, and start RPing her, people will wonder if it's a new character you made or the old one.
8. If a name is taken you must wait until it's off the taken list. This means that the character was killed or deleted. We will allow the same first name to be used with a different last name. (there CANNOT be two John Smith's!)
9. Read the plot. For crying out loud READ the plot. It is the main plot. However, I have no trouble with having mini-plots in there too. Arguments with other Band Members is not considered miniplots. Miniplots are things like a battle or flood or something extra that really shakes things up. These type of plots are fine, just make sure they are posted under the plot board BEFORE you put them into action.
10. Please please please, do not powerplay or godmod! This is where you either play another persons character, or make your character invincible. Bio's must contain a strength AND a weakness for this reason.
11. Swearing is not allowed, You can put stars instead, but no actual letters.
12. Have fun! We don't want to run a boring site. You can do so much here so take advantage of it.
