let’s just get this over with…
*These Rules came from Vampires Will Never Hurt You. I like how they covered the rules for their site and wanted to use them for mine. So I'm giving them credit for creating these rules. in c h a r a c t e r ;;
- when first registering, please change your name to your character's first and last name.
- Do not roleplay until your character has been accepted. This includes IM threads, character plottage, anything. Do feel free to post in the c-box or in any out of character threads, though.
- One-liners = bad. I ask that your posts be at least 300 words. I understand everyone has off days, but if you’re so off that you can't muster that much up, than just post in the c-box or somewhere that your muse is off and you'll post whenever it comes back to you. And a paragraph is not 3 sentances people, they should be more like 6 or 7 sentances at least, full sentances also. Those littles 1-3 word sentances don't count.
- Only use chatspeak in the IM, cell (texting), or Myspace boards. Anywhere else, your posts must be typed out correctly (*cough*spellcheck*cough*) in third person (he, she, they, them, etc.) and past tense.
- No god-moding. If you god-mode or power play I will come after you with a pitchfork. Seriously.
- Sex, drug use, alcohol use, cussing -- this is all to be expected, this is a mature site. I do ask, however, that if you are going to have adult content in a thread please indicate so in the title. If it comes up unexpectedly, the thread starter can go back and change the title.
- Make your claims. Celebrity/play by claims are a must. If you don’t claim them then anyone can use what you are and you might have to change yours. Also, the celeb/pb claim, it has to be a real person, not a drawing or something like that. Other sorts of claims (IM, Myspace, etc.) are optional and just there for your convenience, though making a room claim would be a smart idea.
- Not everyone is homosexual/bisexual. Please remember that, not every single person in this city is going to be bi or gay. I realize that this is a common fad amongst people, and I don't mind a few here or there, but let's not abandon the straight people on this site please!
- If you say something out of character in a role play thread, please indicate so by using some form of brackets ( (), [], etc.)

- No out of character fighting. Even if your characters hate each other, keep the drama strictly IC. The c-box and non-roleplay boards are not for internet drama. If there is a problem, sort it through PM or let an admin know.
- Cussing in non-roleplay boards or the c-box is okay as long as you don't make yourself sound like an uneducated hick by saying "Eff this, eff that," every other word.
- Only advertise in the advertising section. Anywhere else it will be deleted, including signatures. The secret word in the applicatin is: I can't believe this was so simple...
g e n e r a l ;;
- I is always right, and doesn't like it when people be mean to anyone or me, so if I see you breaking any rules (or not thinking I'm right), you'll have a fork stuck in your eye.
- If you would like your character to switch types (Wanderer, Scientist, Healer, etc), you must have my permission to do so.
- There is no character limit, but try not to have them all be the same gender.
- Stay active. If you're going to be gone for more than a week, post so in the away board.
- Don't make your signature stretch the board. An admin will delete your sig if this happens, it really gets on my nerves. Don't make it too tall, either.
- Please try to have an avatar and signature before you are accepted, you don't have to, but you should have have them after you're accepted.
You must read the Character Type information in the "Character Registration" thread.
