rules
01. | don't post anywhere except non-character boards if your character has not been accepted yet. if your character has not been accepted, then your character technically does not exist, at least not on this site. if you're waiting to be accepted, don't harp at the admins about it, we have lives, but we do come on often to update the site. |
02. | we all need a little bit of that R-E-S-P-E-C-T, and that goes for every person on the site; guests, fellow members, and admins. be nice to each other, in character drama is great, not so much the ooc kind. it's the internet people. if you cause enough site drama, you will be deleted and blocked. |
03. | diversify yourself. if you see that there are a lack of members with characters at another school, we encourage you to make a character for the lacking school. not enough cheerleaders? join the cheer squad. even though this site is loosely based off of Glee, there are plenty of plots to be made with footballers and cheerleaders also. |
04. | since we're already on the topic of characters, no perfect ones. every human being has flaws, and even though roleplaying isn't meant to be realistic, this site is. miss mary sue can't be a straight A honor role student on the cheerleading squad with a perfect boyfriend and living in the richest part of town. that's boring. |
05. | as far as roleplaying goes, we ask that you be active with your characters. if you make five characters, you better intend on posting with all five. when the activity checks roll around you don't want to be the person scrambling to post just to keep your character. if you do make too many characters and start to feel overwhelmed, it's perfectly okay to delete one. |
06. | 350+ words per post. that's shorter than most five paragraph essays you'll write in high school. we're sure you can do it. sometimes people have off days, but at least try to hit around that 350 mark, and if you're feeling a little off then nothing below 300. |
07. | don't let your graphics stretch the board, and also give credit where credit is due. we don't want to roleplay with thieves! go on caution, post in the persons tracker, and give proper credit if you don't want to make your own. |
08. | be original, don't jack some tv shows plot, or at least not completely. tweek it a little and make it your own, don't do anything exact. be original. i mean, do you have to write all of your own posts don't you? put a little thought behind them. |
09. | post in the claims. yes, i am making that a rule. why? well because i have seen too many people whine and complain on other sites because they've been using a certain play-by for a month, then somebody else comes along and uses that play-by also. well you didn't post in the claims and they did, so cry me a river. |
10. | last but not least, have fun! this site was intended for creativity and to rid people of their ceaseless boredom. also if you have any questions, don't be shy. us admins are friendly, patient people that are willing to help. |
