The Rules
[/font][/center]o c c
[/size][/font]- RESPECT. Respect the other members and the staff. Your characters might be enemies or having a fight, but don't take it personal or take it out of the i.c. and into the o.c.c. If you have a problem with a member, please pm Anni.
- SPAMMING. No spamming. That means posting multiple times in a row. It is annoying and unnecessary.
- OOC CHAT. Please keep out of character talk in threads to a minimum. If it is necessary, put it at the bottom and make it obvious it is o.c.c.
- ICONS. No pornographic or animated images.
- CHAT SPEAK. No chat speak please. It is annoying. If you don't know what chat speak is or have never seen it, you are lucky.
- SWEARING. Please keep swearing to a minimum.
r p g
[/font][/center]- RELEVANCE. This forum is set in the 1920s. This means your character is not going to be talking on a cell phone or will be using modern slang. Girls are not referred to as "shawties" or however you spell it.
- GRAMMAR. Spell check is your friend. Now I know that grammar can be difficult, but please try to punctuate your sentences.
- R-RATED. This forum is R-rated. That means violence, sex, and swearing are allowed.
- SEX. Please put "M" in the title if you are planning to get intimate.
- COLOR. Changing the color of the text for speech or thought is alright. Just do not change the color of the whole post, or change the color to something ugly like bright red, or blue, or bright green.
- 3RD-PERSON. Please put your posts in third person. There can be first person thoughts (preferably in italics), but keep the narration in 3rd person.
- POSTING. I do not want to force a posting minimum, but you must further the plot of the post. Try to make 100 words the minimum.
example: Jane sat at the piano, her fingers resting on the ivory keys. "My father is out hunting. We are completely alone," she said quietly to the man next to her.
"Really?" John responded, a hint of a smile in his voice.
Personally I prefer two paragraphs per post, but if you find you cannot write more than one paragraph, then that is fine. Just as long as it furthers the thread's plot. - GOD-MODDING. No god-modding. God-modding is when you control another member's character. You cannot kill, injure, or make them do something with out the member's permission. Furthermore, you cannot force another character to have a 'relationship' with yours without permission.
t h e c h a r a c t e r
[/font][/center]- MARY-SUES. No Mary-Sues or Gary-Sues! Be unique and original. Perfect people do not exist, and if they did, they would be annoying. Your character should have flaws. This also means do not copy Chicago, or other movies, tv shows, and book characters directly, unless you have permission. They can be inspired, but I do not want 10 Nancy Drew's and 15 Velma's running around.
- CHARACTERS. You can have the maximum of four characters. If you have four characters and you are active and wish to make another character, PM the admin.
- ACCOUNT. One character per account. This includes twins.
g r a p h i c s
[/font][/center]- AVATARS. Avatars must be 100x100 and should represent your character's face.
- SIGNATURES. Signatures should be about 500x200. Not too big that would stretch out the page.
- IMAGES. Images should not be bloody or too provocative.
