the rules
[/color][/font]-------------------------------[/center]
Everyone has them. I'll try to make them as painless as possible.
*No Godmoding, or powerplaying, or whatever it is that you crazy kids are calling it these days. It's not fun for anyone except the person doing it, and I don't want to see it happening.
*Fill out an application for a character (original or canon) and wait for it to be accepted before you start RPing.
*Please be active. That's not too much to ask. I'm not saying you have to post EVERY DAY, but log in and check to see if you need to reply regularly. K? Thanks.
*Going off of that. Please do not make a character, and then just abandon it. If you make a character, and I notice that you haven't posted in a couple of weeks (And I think that's being pretty generous) without telling an admin why, then your account will be deleted. This especially goes for canons.
*I'll be the first to admit that I like drama between characters, but make sure it is agreed upon by all involved. Also, drama should be kept in the RP threads. No drama between members, please. Let's keep it cool.
*Mark risky threads appropriately. Simple. To the point.
*Take your time when replying to posts. I'm not saying you have to post a novel. Writer's block is fine, but give the other person something to work off of. Over one paragraph if possible, please. It's not that difficult if you explain your character's reaction and such.
*With that, please try to make posts grammatically correct. I know that English isn't everyone's first language, and even I have slip ups, but let's make sure everyone can understand what you're talking about. If there's an issue, send an admin a pm and they will work on it with you.
* For the password, tell us if you were in twilight, which character would you be
*Signatures should not stretch the board and should not hold advertisements. There is a specific board for advertising, please use it. Also keep in mind that they should be an appropriate height. I don't want to have to put a limit on it, but I will if it gets out of control.
*Keep OOC (out of character) comments in the OOC threads or pms. The occasional [[OOC: sorry my post is so short]] or [[OOC: sorry I didn't reply sooner]] is fine, but let's keep the side chat to a minimum.
*Please try to post at least three well developed paragraphs. This isn't that difficult and it's pretty annoying to others when they have nothing to work off of. We understand writer's block, but don't let it happen regularly.
*There will be no vampire/human relationships at this point. Shape-shifters are different due to imprinting issues.
*There will be no more characters added to the Cullen Coven at this point. The Cullen Coven is already large enough. This also goes for the Vigarios. The only exception is for the Denali in the event that Tanya finds a mate.
*Not all vampires will be able to have an extra gift. No gifts will be a god-modding gift.
*The number of hybrids and vegetarian vampires will be limited.
*Most shifters will belong to Jacob's pack. The exception is the canon. Other exceptions may be made, but a staff member MUST approve.
