Posting:[/justify]I am not going to impose a word limit, because I very much believe quality over quantity. Personally, I can write a thousand word post without too much effort, but it won't be as well written as my 500-600 word posts. That being said, no one wants to reply to a one liner. This is an intermediate/advanced roleplay. Please keep that in mind. Along the same vein, chat speak is simply unacceptable. Swearing is no problem, feel free. But in moderation. Unless your character is vulgar by definition, there is no need for every other word in your post to be a swear.
Roleplaying:
I hate limiting creativity in any way, so I'll keep this brief and as little as possible. Due to Proboard's Terms of Use, explicit sexual content must be carried over to PM. If you're unsure whether your post falls into that category, feel free to ask a staff member. Violence is allowed, as is blood and death. However, please refrain from killing each other without permission. You don't have to ask me, you just have to make sure the characters involved in the death are aware of what's going on and are okay with it. I don't want someone killing someone else without permission from the player. You do need to ask permission before becoming pregnant, however. More often than not you'll get the okay, unless everyone is getting pregnant all over the place.[/justify]
Activity:
[/justify]Please be active. Activity is posting, just because you show up and stare at the page doesn't mean you are active! At least two posts a week is the minimum unless you have posted in the away board. To be honest, I'm not going to be too picky about this. I understand lack of muse and life getting in the way, etc. There will be regular activity checks, so keep that in mind. And if you know you won't be on for a couple of days in a row, post in the away board.
OOC:
Please don't take something a character has said personally. There's no need for fights over something that is said in character. That being said, please be respectful. I understand some characters are going to be horrible, horrible people. This is an insane asylum. It happens. That doesn't mean you get to be a horrible person. Any real racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. and you will be banned. If I'm in a good mood I might warn you once. Everyone can get along without too much trouble. (I will give you two days notice of being banned so that you can pull any of your posts or character stuff off the site, however, you will not be allowed to post once you have been banned. I will also allow appeals for being banned because of something offensive during those two days. Language is slippery and I understand that stuff can be meant in a harmless way and taken wrong.
[/justify]
Please remember that the staff are gods in this case. Don't fight with us, our word is law. We are always open to suggestions and ideas, however, if we say no, we mean no. And don't harrass the staff either. Yes, you've submitted an application. We'll look at it soon.
There are also a few things that go without saying, right? No Mary-sues, no god-modding. [/blockquote]
