IT'S SIMPLE ENOUGH, BUT WE ALWAYS NEED A DECENT SET OF RULES.

REGISTRATION,

KEEP IT SIMPLE, REGISTER ALL ACCOUNTS UNDER YOUR CHARACTERS FIRST NAME. IF THE FIRST NAME IS TAKEN REGISTER UNDER THEIR LAST NAME OR FULL NAME. THEN CHANGE YOUR DISPLAY NAME TO THEIR FULL NAME. FULL MIDDLE AND LAST.

CHARACTER INFO,

USE THE APPLICATION TEMPLATE PROVIDED, ITS NOT TOO BAD I PROMISE.

DON'T TRY AND MAKE YOU'RE CHARACTER TOO OUTRAGOUS. IT'S JUST NOT NECESSESARY. TRY AND BE REALISTIC HERE, MKAY?

ROLEPLAYING,

BASICALLY, THERE IS A MINIMUM WORD COUNT OF TWO HUNDRED FIFTY WORDS. THAT'S NOT TOO HARD NOW IS IT? IF IT IS, WE WILL WORK WITH YOU AND GIVE YOU WRITING TIPS TO HELP YOU LENGTHEN YOUR POSTS. BUT NO ONE LIKES TO WRITE SIX HUNDRED WORDS TO HAVE A ONE HUNDRED WORD PARAGRAPH REPLY TO IT.

BASIC ROLEPLAY RULES APPLY, NO GARY-STU'S OR MARY-SUE'S. NO ONE LIKES A PERFECT CHARACTER.

THE ICC DOES GO WITH THE PLOT BUT PLEASE, DON'T MAKE ALL YOUR PLOTS IN ICC, TRY AND KEEP A BALANCE BETWEEN IN CHARACTER CHAT'S AND THREADS PLEASE?

HOUSE POINTS,

TO EARN HOUSE POINTS YOU REALLY JUST HAVE TO BE ACTIVE. DO GOOD WORK, POST AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN AND BE CREATIVE. THE ADMIN'S WILL BE LOOKING AT EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS ON THE SITE (AS THEY SHOULD) AND WHEN THEY SEE A PARTICULARLY BRILLIANT POST, THEN POINTS WILL BE AWARDED TO YOUR HOUSE.

OTHER WAYS TO EARN POINTS IS TO PARTICIPATE IN GROUP THREADS/BOARDS WHEN WE HAVE THEM, OR TO HELP SOMEONE WHO IS NEW TO ROLEPLAY GET BETTER. WHEN WE HAVE THE "OF THE MONTH" VOTING, THE WINNERS WILL ALSO BE AWARDED HOUSE POINTS.

POINTS CAN BE DEDUCTED IF YOU ARE FOR ANY REASON WARNED, SUSPENDED OR BANNED.

POINTS WILL BE STARTED THE DAY WE OPEN AND EVERY THREE MONTHS WE WILL HAVE A WINNER AND WILL START THE POINTS BACK TO ZERO.

HAVE CHARACTERS IN MULTIPLE HOUSES? EASY ENOUGH, WHICH HOUSE IS YOUR FAVORITE? WHICH DO YOU SUPPORT? PLEASE POST HERE IN THE HOUSE POINT'S CLAIM THREAD!

OUT OF CHARACTER,

RESPECT IS THE KEYWORD. RESPECT EVERYONE AND THEIR OPINIONS. BE FRIENDS, WE'RE ALL HERE FOR THE SAME REASON, TO HAVE FUN AND GIVE OUR BRAINS A CREATIVE ESCAPE FROM REALITY.

PLEASE, ANY ADMIN'S ARE HERE TO KEEP THE ORDER. DON'T GIVE THEM REASON'S TO PICK ON YOU BECAUSE NONE OF US LIKE TO.

HERE WE PLAY THE GREAT OLD AMERICAN SPORT OF BASEBALL,

STRIKE ONE, WARNING
STRIKE TWO, SUSPENDED
STRIKE THREE, YOU'RE OUT, BLOCKED/DELETED.

I HAVE NEVER HAD TO DO ANY MORE THAN WARN A MEMBER OF MY SITE'S BEFORE, PLEASE DON'T GIVE ME A REASON TO START NOW.
