.the.rules.
.01, you can have as many characters as you can handle on this site, but you need to be able to keep up with them all. make a seperate account for each one, and if you're going away for a while, let us know, in case we accidentally delete your account.
.02, we're an intermediate site here. we'd like at least 300 words a post, but don't go too crazy, because no-one likes an obvious show-off. If you can write loads, that's great, but if you're constantly coming up with loads, maybe an advanced site would be better. Likewise for those who can't reach three hundred words a post - you'd be better off on a site for beginners.
.03, the admins word is law. whatever we say, it goes. we'd like you to respect the admins, and respect your fellow roleplayers. fighting between your characters is acceptable, but fighting with another roleplayer is bad, and if we see it, we'll have you banned so fast you won't have time to blink. screw the laws of physics, we can make it happen, so you have been warned.
.04, do you want to swear? then go ahead. we don't give two shits about it. because this roleplay is set in the real world, and in the real world, people swear. not every other word though - and some people don't swear at all. so while you are allowed to swear, don't go overboard on it, m'kay?
.05, as for your graphics, keep them clean. we don't want any pictures of naked people, or inapropriate content, because we're a roleplaying website, not a porno website. any pictures of nekkid people will immediately get you banned, so don't try it. and while we know that sex is also a part of life, we'd like you not to describe it on this site. you can hint at it, yes, but we don't need to know every detail leading up to your character's orgasm, so just don't do it.
.06, oh, so you've made a character. and she's pretty. and popular. but she's very plain, and completely modest, despite the fact every boy she meets automatically falls in love with her. and she's extremely kind to everyone, and has no enemies whatsoever. she excells at everything, whether it be schoolwork or athletics, she can play all instruments known to man, can sing like a nightingale, but secretly, she's emo and depressed, and she slits her wrist every night--
STOP. NOW. BEFORE I KILL MYSELF.
Can you see where I'm going here? No Mary-Sues/Gary-Stus/Emo!Sues, or anything within that family. No character is absolutely perfect, but no character is completely alone either. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, maybe you should find a different site.
.07, common sense isn't all that common anymore, so let me gloss over the rest of the rules of the rp world; no god-modding, or controlling a character who isn't your without permission. no killing a character without permission, no hogging all the attention, do you get the idea? also, the password for applications is "lost in stereo", so if you don't have this in your application, well, we'll know you haven't read the rules, have you?
.08, have fun. seriously. roleplaying should be an enjoyable hobby, so we'd like you to enjoy your time on our site.
