1. Display Names.
Now, to be honest I don't care if your character is called Conquistador Fluffy Pants, just have it plain and simple. A capital to start with, and minimum punctuation. I don't want to see this:
SxCbAb3xx<3
I want to see names like Darren. with as little punctuation as possible. Saying that, I don't want to see a lot of Darrens running around the site either. That was just an example.
2.Biography.
The biography is mandatory. There are no exceptions. If you do not have a completed biography you will not be RPing. It's as simple as that. If anyone attempts to Role Play without a biography completed and accepted by an admin (Unless of course you have spoken to the Chairman and she has agreed to let you Role Play without a finished bio) You will be BANNED for three days.
3. Playing God.
There will be no godmoding on this site. If you desperately need another character to do something, then you can ask the player of the character to allow you that small privilege. Saying that Sally or whoever passes you the salt is totally acceptable, but you can't make another character swing down and save you, or say something to you, unless your post isn't directed at any particular character and someone just wants to jump in, e.g.,: "Are you okay?" I heard a voice from behind me.
See? No specific character direction. That sort of thing is okay.
4. Rating.
This is an adult site, alrighty? There will be blood, violence, death, cursing, and if we have any students that decide to use sex appeal to their advantage, the Chairman will not take responsibility for squeamish people. If you think your thread might make some people uncomfortable, kindly mark it [M] after the subject.
5. Managing Characters.
There is no character limit on this site, but please don't make more than you can manage. I don't want one person having eleven characters and only using two of them. Fair enough if you need five different students and a couple of lecturers, but please don't stretch yourself beyond what you're able for.
6. Genders.
Yes, there are way more females in the RP world than males. But unless you want to go to an all girls school (boring!) then please don't be afraid to make some male characters. Although, not all characters have to be heterosexual. This is a no-homophobes site, alright?
7. Inspirarion.
Now, I understand that those of us that have been on proboards for a while are really running out of plotlines, so please try to be as creative and original as possible.
8. Goody-Two-Shoes.
Now, let's be honest, no one is flawless. We don't need another band of students who have everything in common and all fall happily in love and none of them die. Introduce some conflict, spice it up, make characters that will more than willingly trip their 'friends' up when running from a horde of hungry zombies. Nobody's that nice, and we're in collage people! We need to be ruthless!
9. Remember Your Place.
Now, this is an important rule. You can't go running around shouting, "Hey! look at me! I'm a dragon on the inside!" No. Understandably, some people will find out your secret. For example, a slayer will find out about a vampire -- a witch might cast a spell that is recognised by a mermaid or something. But remember, some characters are disposable. There is a chance that if you mess with a werewolf on a full moon, you're going to get killed. So don't get too attached to your characters.
10. Bullying.
It's something we don't tolerate. If there is any discrimination, unfriendly comments or just being bitchy in general to ANY other member, (unless it's in character, of course) you will be banned. You only get one chance with this rule. No bullying. Or spam, of course, but that's not as major as the bullying thing.
11. No advertising.
I mean, if you have a character on another site and you would like someone from this site to post with you on that site (confusing, but you get the message) then you can ask them politely in the cbox, or by private message. But please, none of this: Come join annoyingadvertisedsite.proboards.com! That will just irritate the admins and the Chairman and you will be warned about it. Continue to break the rules and your characters will be banned for three days.
12. HAVE FUN, KIDS! But not too much fun. Ah hell, have too much fun! WE'RE AT COLLEGE!
Now, to be honest I don't care if your character is called Conquistador Fluffy Pants, just have it plain and simple. A capital to start with, and minimum punctuation. I don't want to see this:
