the rules ,
[/color]`and other informational tidbits brought to you by SIENA![/b][/i][/sup][/right]
[/font][/color]THE BASICS.
001. Register with any name you like. update: When you are accepted, please change your name to that of your character.
002. Upon joining or submitting a character, you are only allowed access in boards such as auditions, help, suggestions, etc. In other words, if you post in any of the in character boards before your character has been accepted by an admin, it will be deleted. I know it sounds unfair but it helps to eliminate further complications.
003. This is not really a rule, but please don't feel hurt if you aren't accepted. I simply want to ensure a nice, literate site. You are always free to try again.
004. Don't join unless you know that you'll stay committed to the site and try to evaluate yourself before joining. If you really honestly think you are literate, responsible, etc, (which I'm sure you are) then join away! Please note that if you create a character and are inactive for two weeks, you will be deleted.
005. Be kind to all members. That includes staff and regular members as well as guests. (let's set a good impression folks!)
006. Remember that there is only one character per account. It keeps the site simple and organized. Keep in mind that every member is limited to one character for now.
007. All members on this site should be some level of literate. If you are not, as a favor to you and other members, do not join.
008. Try to submit a character application within a week or so of joining. If after about a week and a half of silence, you'll most likely be deleted.
CREATING YOUR CAHRACTER.[/font][/color]
001. Please read our character creation guide before posting your bio or even beginning it for that matter. You must use our Hard Times format/structure.
002. NO GOTH CHARACTERS OR PLAY-BYS (or other variations.) I'm sorry, but it makes things much nicer without them. And no Hisashi Moto from you favorite manga/anime thing either. I want human characters. Preferably those who aren't half naked in every picture.
003. Check the face claims to make sure your playby isn't already taken.
004. After 3 weeks, your bio is deleted if not already completed and submitted. You can of course ask me to extend your time if you will be away etc.
005 Please don't create a character if you're going to leave two days later.
ROLEPLAYING.[/font][/color]
001. I expect you to fully understand the basics of roleplaying. I'm not going to explain them here and if you need me to, you probably shouldn't be here.
002. Things get very confusing when everyone is writing differently, so please write in third person, past tense, and with good grammar, etc. Never, ever, ever break this rule. I'm begging you. I never thought I'd have to tell people to try to make their posts in English that people can understand and that's cohesive, but you'd be surprised.
003. I never said you couldn't use language or write about sex and/or violence. By all means, do so. Just don't make it a habit, and I'd prefer that you wouldn't be too graphic. I will sure as hell delete you if you only use this site for your fantasies. You may write about these things freely, but if its very very intense, please let everyone know. (M or mature) Update: If I haven't said it clearly enough, don't only write about sex or something. That's not what this site is for.
004. Please keep your posts at at least 300 words. I can understand the occasional writer's block, but you need to give your partner something to work with. Yes you can write a couple words below, but don't do it often.
005. I really dislike spelling errors. They're the easiest errors to fix, and if you can't do it yourself, I recommend you get a spellchecker. I don't want your poor roleplay partner having to do that while they read.
007. Try to put the status of your thread in the title. (ie, closed, open, etc.)
008. Have fun and be creative!! (:
OTHER.[/font][/color]
001. I tend to be forgetful, so if there's anything you need clarified or want me to add to the rules, don't be afraid to pm me.
002. If there is anyone acting against these rules and I have not reprimanded them in some way, please notify me.
003. And lastly, If you happen to know french, I'm probably gonna make your eyes bleed on this site since its just me and my crappy translator. So bring lots of band aids!
