[glow=red,2,300]Rules are always subject to change. Occasionally we may make an announcement for updates, but sometimes we may not. Check back regularly and read them carefully.[/glow]
1. No Flaming or typing in all capital letters. The art of "Flaming" is extremely rude, and insulting. Do not condone a character publicly or behind the scenes by yelling at them. If you have a problem, calmly discuss it with whomever it is, and if the discussion does not help then contact the administrator immediately.
2. No god-moding. God-moding is whenever you take over another character's actions against their will. God-moding is also the act of assuming your character's attack hit without giving the other person a chance to respond. There are very very few exceptions to this rule. If you are caught god-moding, you will be told to change your post or have the person who you used this offense against to send the administrator a personal message saying that you had permission.
3. When creating a character, be sure to use the format provided.
4. Ultimate powered characters will not be allowed. Granted, we will allow strong characters, but everyone has a weakness. No one can be god, and no one can be indestructible.
5. After your application has been placed, it could take up to twenty-four hours for it to be responded to. This is only in extreme cases. We will try to respond as soon as we can, so please don't bug us about it.
6. Do not plagiarize your writing, including average posting or applications. Plagiarism is considered taking someone else's work and claiming it as your own.
7. When posting, please be descriptive and use the proper role-playing methods: Always type in past tense, always type in third person, use italics for thoughts, bold italics for telepathic communication, and "quotes for speech." We would appreciate that you try to keep your posts at decent lengths. A few short posts will be fine, but don't make it a habit. We do have a 200 word minimum.
8. We do not have a character limit, but you must be sure to post with each of your characters regularly. We require that you post with each of your characters at least once per week, preferably more.
9. You may role-play anything. Anything meaning sex, torture, everything. Everything that has to do with this time period. Do me a favor though and put a censor on the thread if it is mature. If someone is going to be killed alert one of the administrators as soon as possible. Do not follow through with things like death and birth without our permission.
10. Use correct grammar and puncuation. They had no slang in this time and in fact did not speak English, but since we all do please keep the language as well as possible.
11. The plot will not be changed by anyone but the Main Admin. Margot will take suggestions and consider them, but if she does not want them in the plot, they won't go there. No other administrator will be allowed to change or edit the plot either.
Signatures
1. Hate me if you will but your signatures are not aloud to be super huge. Now sizes differ from computer to computer so as long as it's not running off the page it's fine. If I warn you though please change it.
2. No body parts unwanted in pictures. No very *friendly* person icons unless that's the way your character is. Do not put up a signature that is out of date as well. It's hard to find people from this time period or who look and dress like it, but trust me. It's not as hard as you think. Just remember they didn't wear bikinis that barely covered their stuff. They wore long dresses and men sometimes no shirts. That's about the only stuff you're going to see.
