The Rules

[RENESMEE CARLIE BLACK]

The Basic Rules:

1. No racism or any other type of discrimination!

2. Don't be a meany head!

3. You should be 13 years of age in order to sign-up and post here. This is something you agree to when you first register at the board.


4. Swearing is fine in moderation. Swearing as said is fine, but we do not wish to see every word in a sentence one of them.

5. No personal information is to be asked for, or given out in the C-box! It is not appropriate to give out a telephone number or an address in public, if its through PM, I don't care. ^^ Code Word One: You
6. Please try to be on at least 3 times a week! Absences over 3 days must be posted in away board. If you have a cannon I would appriciate you being on at least once a day since they are important! With originals I would like for you to be on 1 time a day also.

These are the rules for the chat-box

Be kind
Most things are said IC so beware
Treat others are you wish to be treated
No advertising

Character and Role Player:

6. You must read the rules and the plot before creating a character.

7. No Gary Stews or Mary Sues; your character is not perfect! Just like no-one in real life is. There is no such thing as a perfect character as everyone has a flaw. Each character must have at least one weakness. Code word two: Inspired

8. Every App must be completed within 5 days upon resurve unless you send me a PM telling me why you cannot post it within those 5 days (Example:: I'm going away, I have too much HW, Etc.)

9. You must use a real person. Anime and Cartoon Characters are not allowed. You can use a singer, model, actress – whatever. Just no Anime or Cartoons.

10. All players are to treat each other as you wish to be treated themselves.

11. Each player can have up to 5 cannons but only 2 of which can be Cullens (hey save some people!)and you have to be role-playing with the first one for at least a week before you apply for the other one, it is only one per account. There is not to be two character's for one account. There is no limit to the amount of originals!


12. If you are killing off a character in a plot or have a storyline involving pregnancy, please PM an admin to let them know. Some characters (like the canons) will need permission for this sort of thing. This is because if you're deleting/killing a canon that is important to the plot, we may feel the need to find a new role-player.

13. As a canon character we require activity since most of these are very sought after. That means you are required to post with your canon at least once a week unless noted in the leaving/away section of an absence or the Staff is informed of circumstances. The inactivity will be dealt with via an activity check.

14. If you're wishing to have a different type of species than those that are mentioned you will have to contact Admin. This is because it may interfere with the plot in some way.

Role Playing General Rules:

16. NO GOD-MODDING! The only way that this will be allowed is if you have permission because that character is unconscious or something similar. You control. your character and your character alone.

17. The only way you can be classed as active is with posting. Signing in and not posting is not acceptable. We understand people being busy but still signing on to check posts and PMs. However we do ask that people are frequent with their posting.

18. We ask that people have a wide variety in their post and more importantly, who they post with. Some sites show a wide amount of grouping, making friends on a site and posting with them and them alone. Posting with only one person is not only unfair but unjustifiable. Especially if you take on the role of a cannon, we ask that you role play with any one that would like to. Code Word Four: One

19. If you start a thread you are at a liability to follow it through. If a reason is given to the other party in the thread and accepted by them as to why the thread has not continued then that's OK, but to have it finished it quite frankly boring and unfair.

20. No 'Text Talk' where proper words should be used unless you are in the cbox, then a limited amount will be acceptable. Regular English is needed in post. Usin txt talk iz stpid nd 2 hrd 2 understnd, init?

21. Please do not double post! I it happens accidentally its alright just delete it! Double posting floods the boards!

21. Posts must be a minimum of 200 words. I understand people have off days but at least 100 would be manageable or you can tell the person you will not be posting until it comes back but it should not take your muse 3 days to come back, 1 or 2 are acceptable.

Some Other Posting Rules That We Consider Important!

22. Don't injure, kill, main or harm seriously another player's character without their permission.

23. DO NOT to post one, two, or even three-liners unless they magically end up to be 100 words. Try to incorporate what your character sees, feels, hears, smells, and thinks into your threads – you do not have to do everyone of those mentioned. It's not only about dialogue. If you need help and/or tips PM another member or myself and we will be glad to give you some.

24. While we don't expect everyone to take turns like preschoolers, we do expect that everyone give others a decent amount of time to post. In other words, don't get carried away with a thread so that someone gets left behind. Remember that people have real lives too.

CONSEQUENCES

25. With the exception of campaigning against admin and pulling other players into personal disputes: we will adhere to the following format with regards to rule violations. Active campaigning against admin and pulling players into personal disputes will be grounds immediate removal from the game.

1st Offence - Private Warning/Reminder to your pm inbox, e-mail or Instant Message.

2nd Offence - Discussion with person(s) involved

3rd Offence - On list (that means a post in a public forum) reprimand. ( If it gets bad enough for this trust me, you will have been given every opportunity to clear up anything you could either by PM, IM, or chat.)

4th Offence - Probation, length of time to be determined by severity of infraction and the Staff.

If you're prohibited more then four times then you may before suspended from play and your accounts deleted. You may talk to the Staff and we will then discuss it. It will take a majority vote to remove a Player from the game so you cannot be banned simply because of a personality conflict with a Staff member. Likewise, it will take a majority vote to allow you back into the game. Code word three: This
