*/ rules !

I. General

- - - Do not join, start an application, then never come back and finish it. It's annoying and it only clogs our boards with useless threads. It's the quickest way to get an admin to hate you, so think long and hard about whether or not you're going to actually stick around before you join our site.

- - - When you complete your application, go to your profile and change your character's name to their FULL name, in all UPPER CASE letters. For example, ''BIANCA JORDAN ROSE''. This creates unity for all accounts and it makes everything look neat and tidy.

- - - DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, PUT ANY SORT OF SYMBOLS IN YOUR CHARACTER'S NAME! It is annoying and ugly, and seriously, I will only want to delete your account for not listening.

- - - This is a one character per account site. Each character has their own account, so get use to it or get out.

II. Plot

- - - Since this is an open plot, all members are welcome to contribute ideas for mini-plots for the site. When the time comes for extra ideas, a thread will be set up and all members can have fun spitting out ideas.

- - - All canons have been put into families, so each family has their own background history, so make sure that you stick to it. If you want to stray drastically from said family plot, message an admin about it. Drastic straying from the plots require admin approval!

III. Original Characters

- - - I would definitely prefer this to be a canon-only site, simply because each of the canon families has a plot, so it's immediate that you could plot with the siblings, as well as anyone that is in on the family plot, although, original characters are just as welcome.

- - - As of right now, this is a canon and original character RPG, but please do not neglect the canons, or else I will ban original characters.

- - - Original characters are a privilege and can be taken away from you very quickly, so watch yourself!

IV. Acceptance

- - - This is a no-application site, so you may role play as soon as you join. Though, before you start joining, I require that you reply to the apply thread located here, just so that all claims are made and it'll be easier to sort your account to the correct group.

V. Claims

- - - Claims are on a first-come first-serve basis. If you do not like that, then this is not the right site for you.

- - - Although claims are on a first-come, first-serve basis, you will only have to reply to the ''apply thread'' and the admin will put all of the claims in the suggested threads.

- - - When it comes to play-by's, make sure that they are an actual celebrity or a real model. None of this DeviantArt model bullshit, because that's annoying as hell. Use a play-by that has both a first and last name!

VI. Role Playing

- - - Grammar, spelling, and punctuation are a must!

- - - Make sure that you use the spell check tool to double check your spelling, since we all make simple errors.

- - - Please break up huge paragraphs. They are hard on the eyes and sometimes people will overlook your posts if they are in big blocks.

- - - Since this is a site for anyone to join, the minimum word count is 250 words. This is not hard, nor too easy, so don't complain.

- - - DO NOT CHANGE THE COLOR OF YOUR TEXT IN YOUR POST! Site colors may change and changed text colors may not be visible to the other person as soon as they do!

- - - If you are going to use size one font size, DO NOT USE A FONT THAT IS ILLEGIBLE! Normally, verdana and arial and century gothic are good fonts to use with size one! Do not use something like impact with size one text, because it's SO hard to read! Consider the other person when role playing! Just because you may be able to read it, doesn't mean that someone else can as well.

VII. C-Box

- - - Do not put links in your name in the c-box.

- - - Do not advertise in the c-box.

- - - Do not fight in the c-box.

- - - Do not pester people to reply to your thread as soon as they sign in. If they haven't replied in a few days, then ask if they forgot. If it's more than a week, shoot them a PM. Do not harass them though!

VIII. Characters

- - - You may have as many characters as you would like, though, you HAVE to make sure that they are all going to stay active!

- - - Even though you may have as many characters as you would like, try to keep to one person per family.

IX. Pregnancy and Children

- - - Pregnancies are required to be applied for. If you want your female character to become pregnant, you must sign up for it.

- - - For every in-character month that passes, only one female will be allowed to get pregnant, unless a certain type of plot is formed and approval from the admin was obtained.

- - - If you would like your character to already have a child, this must be approved as well, simply because I do not want 83,658,720,947 children running around and every eighteen year old have four kids already.

X. Relationships

- - - Any type of relationship is allowed. If you want your character to be in a gay, straight, or bi relationship, I will not tell you no. The more differences on the site that there are, the more normal the site will seem.

- - - If your character changes their relationship status, please post in the relationship status thread. This is just an easy way to be able to keep track of all the relationships, plus, it also gives new members the opportunity to be able to look at the list and see the match ups.

- - - TYPICAL MATCH-UP RELATIONSHIPS ARE NOT ALLOWED! ( This means something like Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart or Nick Jonas and Miley Cyrus! ) Please be creative with your love relationships. This also goes for friend relationships as well. This just makes the site more interesting. Though, if you have an incredibly amazing plot for a typical match-up that you can't seem to live without, message the admin and if she approves it, then she won't scream about a typical match-up.

XI. Graphics

- - - Icons are a must. They are required to be 125 pixels wide and 250 pixels tall.

- - - Siggies of your character are required as well. These should be no bigger than 500 pixels wide and 500 pixels tall.

- - - Siggies and avatars are NOT to be animated!! If they are, they will be deleted as soon as I see them! If you need one, request one and it will be made for you.

XII. Activity

- - - From now on, when you join, you have a week to get your character accepted. If you're not accepted in a weeks time, then your account will be deleted. This shows that you weren't very serious about sticking around on the site in the first place, especially since our application is one of the easiest applications around.

- - - When you apply for a character and get accepted, you have a weeks time to post with said character. This doesn't mean the plot threads and crap like that, because until you start actually role playing, I consider that to be useless and spam.

- - - If you have more than one character and you do not use any of them, I will delete the first character you made and then continue along the line of when you created them, in an order of deletion. Once your first character goes in active and I delete it, you have two days to start using the next account or else I will delete that one as well.

- - - Why am I so harsh about activity? It's simply because I cannot stand when people join and then do not role play. It is obnoxious and your dead accounts just take up space. Not only that, but the play-by that you were using becomes unavailable for other people to use.

XIII. Rating

- - - This site is rated PG-13, since we're going to be following the PB ToS and not get the site deleted.

- - - No sex threads are going to be allowed. If you want to role play a sex scene, take it to a personal c-box, e-mail, or some form of instant messenger.

- - - In my opinion, this is sort of like a passage to the site. Make sure that you put a color for your character's middle name so that I will know that you have read the site rules. I will change it to your character's actual middle name that you listed in the apply thread when I see that.

- - - If you want to note that your characters had sex, have a fade out scene. If you do not know what this means, ASK!
