RULES!
** yes I know that rules tend to be boring and annoying and whatever else. they hinder your creativity, yes I know. howvere to succeed here you must follow these ruels. most of them, i’m sure, are common sense so don’t stress to much.
** if you don’t follow these rules you will be getting a pm from an admin… as like a warning… unless it’s one of those really big rules. kind of like little infractions get you a stern look form the teacher but if you start a fight you go right to the principle’s office? that’s my parelle. so if you continue to break the rules i’ll get tired of warning you and the really big consequences will get you banned, for a week or forever. don’t worry so much though, just don’t break the rules.
** rules are subject to change!
BASICS!
** make sure that you’re display name is you’re character’s first middle and last name all in lowercase! the user name you register in can be anything, just make sure you’re display name follows this rule or you will not be accepted!
** oh right no arguing with the admins please!
** actually no arguing with anyone! make sure to always remain courteous and kind to your fellow rpers. so no arguing in the c-box, no fighting! be nice!
** no spamming! don’t spam in the c-box, don’t spam at all! there is a form especially for advertisements! use it!
** activity check are mandatory!
GRAPHICS!
** DON’T STRECH THE BOARD! please! this applies to signatures and just graphics in posts and everything. please do not stretch the board!
** so signatures… keep them smaller than 500x300 and we’re good
** everyone needs a signature here as well…make sure it’s of your play-by! if you’re not so great at graphics, there’s a graphics board so you can make a request!
** while we’re on the subject: you’re pb has to be a REAL PERSON! no cartoons and the like, no a real person! myspace royalty is okay… most of the time! admins reserve the right to deny any play-by proposed by an applying person!
CHARACTERS AND CLAIMING
** this is a CANNONS ONLY board! no originals! sorry… but check out the cannons… they’re pretty awesome and lots of room for creativity!
** oh yeah… just so you know each band (and all other cannons) have little sub plots. Some are more detailed that others and they’re all just kind of a guild line, a direction for you to go in. So remember to take that into consideration when working up your application.
** the application is optional, and not necessary to roleplay but CLAIMING your cannon is REQUIRED! if you want the acceptance code highlight the bottom of this post. you’ll get a little pm when the admin has read your claim and rp example saying ‘yay now go roleplay’ and then you’re good to go.
**and while we’re on the claiming subject, make sure to claim all you stuff, phone numbers and pbs and the like.
** it would be a good idea to fill out a character ad or part of an application just so people know what you character is like, for pottage purposes, you know… just something to keep in mind. But no one will force you to do either.
** make sure your rp example is up to stuff because that’s what we’re judging you on.
POSTINGS and ROLE PLAYING!
** this is a intermediate to advanced rpg so there is a 300 WORD COUNT minimum… please and thank you! i understand that people have off days, i know, i have them as well, but make sure you try to reach that word count. it’s not hard.
** if you consistently let your word count drop below 300, you’ll be getting a pm from me! effort is needed in your posts
** post in third person by the way... it doesn't necessarily apply to applications, but when you are role playing post in third person only!
** stay active please! no one likes setting up a great plot and then finding that the other person has disappeared so make an effort to stay active!
** if you’re going to be absent for any extended period of time post in the away board to let us know!
** oh yeah… this is an R rated board… mature content is allowed! this means that sex, drugs, alcohol, cutting, thoughts of suicide, violence, swearing, in the context of characters is all okay! i ask that you put a little [M] or [R] or something in your subject line though if you have a thread that is going in that direction though! and make sure the person you’re rping with is comfortable with whatever is going on!
** but we do have a couple restrictions! USE PROTECTION! please don’t go around getting all your female characters pregnant! it is bound to happen of course, in one case or another but make sure you pm me if you’re thinking of this as a potential plot! i know different sites handle this differently, but if you pm then we’ll work out specifics!
** leave your guns at home! no character deaths! yes i’m putting a ban on that sorry! fights are cool, maybe a hospital visit! but make sure you know about the repercussions for your band and for the whole competition!
** realism is the key! that’s really what it’s all about! from a character and role playing perspective i’m good with nearly anything as long as it’s realistic (so no magic, fairies, etc… group sex is fine though… that’s a different kind of fantasy)
