1. Manners. Be polite. Your characters can hate each other all they want but be nice to the other players. Be respectful. Use please and thank you’s. Also - don’t tattletale. We’re not going to be as willing to help if you do. However, if there is a problem or you have a question, please contact an admin. Don’t try and tackle a situation that might end up getting you in trouble. In short, if there’s a problem, come to us first, but don’t go running to tell the other person that you did. It’s just annoying.
2. No one-liners. We’re not asking for novel-sized posts, but a paragraph would be nice. That’s 4-5 sentences. We know some people like to write books for posts and hey, we’re all for it, but don’t expect the same in return. We only ask for a paragraph.
3. Don’t god-mod (that’s controlling another person’s character). Example - “Julie punched Claire in the face and sent her flying.” No good. “Julie made a fist and threw it at Claire, hoping to send her onto her ass.” Better.
4. This is not a brothel, but it is rated M for mature. Sex is definitely okay but watch how descriptive it is. Try and keep it classy. We’ll let you know if you’re getting a little too crude. We’re not prudes (god knows) but we don’t like to see offensive language. And please put a warning on the thread. If you weren’t expecting it and it comes up, add a warning in the next post in red or bold letters or something.
5. Swearing is fine, but only if it’s something your character would do. Using fuck every other word probably isn’t necessary.
6. Things like pregnancy, deaths, and vampires turning people should be run by an admin before it happens. Also, a character cannot kill another character without permission from both the player of said soon-to-be-dead character and the admins. We’re not here to control relationships, but a pregnancy for the hell of it isn’t cool. Just make sure it’s valid and goes with the plot.
7. Relationships with other characters must be okayed with the player. Julie can’t be John’s wife unless John’s player says it’s cool. Also, keep in mind that goes for who made who. Like Laurent can’t be Carlisle’s vampiric offspring unless Carlisle is cool with it.
8. Have fun. Be creative. The secret phrase is ‘everything is rent’.
9. When registering, go ahead and register with your character’s first and last name, all lower case.
10. This is a 16+ board. Please speak to me if you think you’re an exception.
11. Limit on characters is five. You can have up to two canons and three originals. Any more is a little excessive.
