More Rules
>>Be active, this is the most important rule here. Also post on any activity checks to avoid your character being banned or possibly deleted.
>>Have fun.
>>Be creative and do big plots. Sites like these are made for big plots.
>>Don't be too repetetive. We're doing a plot with canons involving a school shooting, no other school shooting plots can take place now. There's also a plot with a girl who has cancer, that plot is taken by that canon, no others.
>>Please ask before claiming that a female character is pregnant.
>>No sexual or inappropriate posting. This site is rated PG-13, that's all. If your board is classified as anything over PG-13, it will be deleted and your character will be banned. If it happens more than once, your character will be deleted. If you continue to harrass and/or abuse this, your IP address will be logged and blocked from the web site.
Examples:
God Moding-
Definition: God Moding is when a character dominates the entire post and then writes the other character's reactions, actions, etc. It is unfair to other posters and inappropriate for the site.
Example of God Moding: Sally walked into the house and kicked Jen, Jen cried out because of Sally kicking her.
Jen's character was jsut written into Sally's post. It is unfair to Jen and now she is allowed to send in a complaint that could mean banning Sally's character.
3rd Person-
Definition:3rd person is used to give a more outward look upon the characters life. It's told from an above source that is never identified.
Example of 3rd Person:
Kitty strolled through the park nonchalantly that warm afternoon.
It's not told from Kitty's perspective, but an outward source which never identifies itself throughout the story.
Examples of 1st Person:
I stepped into the barn and looked up at the roof.
Examples of 2nd Person:
You watched the boy play with the ball.
Only 3rd person is accepted in role-playing posts.
Thank you for reading the list of rules and regulations. If you have any questions and/or concerns, please feel free to send a message to either myself or another staff member.
Please post your character's name on this thread to show that you've read and understand the rules of this site.
