Okay, so most of these rules are going to look familiar to you regular role players. And to those of you that are new to the RPG, well welcome. And these rules won't look as familiar. In any case, please read over these rules before you begin please - ask any questions if you have them!!
1. Thou Shalt be perfect - No one is perfect. Not even us, sadly. And I know that the Cullens SEEM perfect, but its their "perfectness' that makes them "un"perfect. Like I said, NO ONE IS PERFECT!! So don't try and make your character that way.
2. Thou shall get hurt - Going along with the perfect thing....if you are in a fight, there is NO WAY that you can avoid every attack. Your person is not super person. Some things you cannot avoid. Be reasonable with how your character fights, or is prank, etc.
3. Thou shalt be God - No godmoding, or being a Mary/Gary Sue. You know the drill.
The password is not Canucks rule
4. Thou shall speak english - Lyk, OMFG plz don't spk im chat in posts. Please. It gets soooo annoying to try and read another's post when it's all in im chat. If its in the chat box, be my guest. But while you are posting, you can do better than that. Seriously.
5. Thou shal have thou's mouth washed out with soap - Also, another thing to avoid: cursing. Cursing is fine, you must curse but OBSESSIVE cursing gets to be a pain in the ass. For example, don't have every sentence have a curse in it. Curse when its necessary, not because it's "cool." Because it's not. It's a thing of the past. AND IT'S NOT RETRO.
6.Thou shall be nice - Please treat others kindly. During posts, go ahead and freak out on each other. We don't care, your characters can hate each others guts and want to murder each other with a sthingy so it'd be slow and painful. The password for the application is: "my little cabbage head." We really dont' care. But as for our players...we DO NOT stand for others treating each other badly. We are one, big, happy role play family and we intend to keep it that way.
7. Thou shall copy Elmo - Speak in third person. It gets very confusing when every post has "I" in it. It's difficult to remember which character's post you are reading. Make it simple. Post in third person.
8. Thou shall be thouselves only - Don't try and control others characters. I'm PRETTY SURE that people came on here to role play for themselves. They don't need you to do that for them, thank you very much.
9. Thou Shault Not Kill - Don't kill off other players. If the two of you together decide to kill off a player, contact us first. Killing off the others player is just....just don't do it.
10. Thou shall advertise - Advertising is welcome on this site. We love to affilate with other sites as well. But please, don't advertise anywhere but in the advertise box. It's there for a reason.
11. Thou shall apply - Don't assume that you just have a power if you are an original character. You must apply for things before you have them. Canon Characters, your powers are taken care of as part of your application so you have a little extra work there.
12. Thou shall be accepting - Accept things as they go. If your character's "love match" falls for another character, then your CHARACTER can get mad, but you as a person have to accept that decision and not yell at other players for it. It's their choice, not yours.
13. Thou shalt misbehave more than 3 times - Three strikes and you are out. just like in baseball, we don't take crap. So if you give us a hard time, you get a warning. You get three warnings, and you are off the site. It's simple, it's easy, we warned you, and it's fair.
14. Thou shalt recheck Rules often - As admins, we reserve the right to update and change the rules when we deem necessary. If people are mucking up alot - we're going to enforce a new rule! The real password is "My Little Cabbage Head"
15. Thou shalt be more than 3 people - Ok so we want this site to be active, so we're enforcing a Rule that you can have no more than 3 characters. If you want to have more than 3 characters you have to have had your first one longer than 1 month and your latest one longer than a week ... You have to ASK your loving and caring admins and we will talk about it.
16. Thou shall be male and female - It often happens that there is lots of chicks and only one guy... so for every 2 chicks you create you have to have one guy - and vise-versa. We're not going to let people more than one canon per storyline (Meaning you can only be one canon from twilight, one canon from HP, one canon from Marauders etc - it's no fun writing with yourself)
17. Thou shall enjoy thouself - Have fun. I mean seriously, what is the point of role playing besides making friends and expressing yourself? And as admins, we're pretty nice as much as I try to make us sound tough . All we really want is for you to have a great time. So enjoy and I hope you all have a great time!!
