RULES, RULES, RULES
...love them or hate them, they’re still there...
General Rules, Rules, Rules
1. This would be respect. It’s pretty simple, really. Treat people the way you’d like to be treated and I’m sure we’ll be just chill. Don’t, and well...I can’t promise that you’ll last long around here. Another piece of advice on respect? The staff likes to be right, and for the most part, they always are. If you have a complaint, address it in a polite manner.
2. All the crap that you’re supposed to read before you start role playing? Read it. It’s really not that difficult, and there’s a fair chance it’ll answer your questions. If you start asking lots of questions that have answers already posted somewhere, people are going to get mad, and you probably won’t find yourself around for much longer.
3. It’s asked that you please don’t be throwing around childish insults. It’s really not that impressive, and all it’s going to do is turn people against you. We all breathe the same and we all shit the same so don’t be going around acting like you’re better than someone else, because, quite frankly, you’re not.

Registering Rules, Rules, Rules
1. While all those x’s and _’s in your name make it long, I don’t really appreciate them. It’s asked that you please register your account name with your characters first name. Thank you ta.
2. Personally, visualisation helps me when replying, so it’s asked that you please try find some form of visual representation of your character. If you’re having trouble, don’t hesitate to ask, and I’ll see what I can do.
3. There’s this lovely little thing that’s called a word count. Intimidating, yes, but 100 words really isn’t that much. Until you reach that word count you’ll be denied the ability to post.
4. The application looks intimidating, I know, but have some fun with it. It’s necessary and you won’t be able to get your character started without it, so make it interesting. It doesn’t have to be full of massive paragraphs, but just give us the low-down on your character. Don’t try and skip parts, because it’s going to be checked over thoroughly by a staff member. Be warned that there’s a chance it’ll be picked apart by said staff, but don’t take it as an insult. It’s just to make things perfectly clear for everyone.
5. Grammar and spelling. Hmmm...They seem to be everyone’s worst enemy, but the fact of the matter is that this is a writing site. You’re expected to, at the very least, have decent grammar. It’s not that difficult, just try your best. No one expects you to be perfect, but we expect you to aim for perfect because at least then you’re getting as close as possible. As for spelling, there’s no excuse not to have decent spelling. There’s a wonderful little creation called a spell check, and I’ve even gone to the effort of ensuring it’s there for those of you who’re fond of quick reply. Use it.
6. You’ll be restricted to two characters per person, and of course you’re welcome to more, but for those, you’ll have to ask. Also, if someone’s reserved a character, save everyones time and don’t bother asking for it. Just pray that they don’t get their app in on time so you can snap that sucker up.
7. I, personally, don’t like waiting forever for someone to reply to my thread. It makes me lose interest, and fast, and it makes me rather frustrated. I assume most of you, are the same. So, it’s asked that you log into your account at least once a week and make at least five posts a week. If I, or anyone else for that matter, happen to notice that you’ve not been on in quite some time, or your five posts haven’t been made, there’ll be no second chances. You’ll be gone, and if you come back, it can’t be promised you’ll get the same character back.

Graphics Rules, Rules, Rules
1. We’re icon people around here, and it’s asked that you please don’t bother with a signature. It’ll be deleted no sooner do you put it up. Icons are 150 x 220. Live it, breathe it and everything will be fine.
2. If I have a problem with your play-by, you’re going to know about it. Be realistic. Don’t have a 30 year old playing a 16 year old. It just won’t work.Key phrase: Crazy is as crazy does. Also, I’m not to fond of Disney stars, but you’re welcome to plead your case, just don’t expect me to be too sympathetic. On a good day, you might get somewhere.
