0 - RESPECT! - Thou shall respect your fellow members. This is the basic rule, the one from which every other rule comes. Our characters might be made up but remember that there is a real person behind each one, with real feelings. If you cannot handle that, you have a problem. Solve it and only then return. 1 - WARNING!- This is not a site for the faint of heart nor weak of mind. If you cannot handle the following rules (or even using spell check without being told) don't bother signing up. We don't tolerate drama, harassment, or talk-backs. The rules are the law around here, and you've been given your only warning. All rule-breakers will be banned after three warnings, depending on their 'crime', and their characters and posts will be forfeit. Do not argue with the Admins over details - they built the site and know it inside and out. Save yourself the drama and just abide by the rules because they have been made for all of us. We won't abuse our power. 2 - ACCOUNT NAMES- Don't sign up with a pretentious, odd, ridiculous name like "bloodyvampireheart263". It either won't be approved, or you will be given a ridiculous nickname. Sure sometimes the one you want is already used but that doesn't mean you have to go and make a fool out of yourself. 3 - ORIGINAL CHARACTERS - All characters must be original. No Lestats, Edward Cullens, etc. You will not only be deleted but considered for banning. If you want to bring your character over from another site, you must modify him or her to fit here. 4 - FACE CLAIMS - We prefer actors/actresses or models, real people in any case, just to keep the feeling of realism. No anime, no drawings, etc., however cool they might look. Take a look at the faces already claimed before you choose. Please do not use yourself as a model unless you got the okay from one of us. Once you claim a model, be sure to be active or else you might lose that model. 5 - SIGNATURES - Please keep these to no more than 600 x 200. Be creative, but keep it tasteful. Same goes for avatars, standard for them being 100x100 but you should PM an admin if you want a large one. Text is okay but everyone must have both a signature and avatar with at least one picture of their character - showing the face, please - and the name. No nudity. At all. 6 - INACTIVITY- We all have hard times or busy periods, that is normal. However if you know that you will be gone, please post a notice in the “Game Chat” board so that everyone will know. If you are active in any threads, PLEASE tell the people you are writing with about your absence. If you are inactive for two months, and have not let us known that you would be gone, your account will be deleted and you will lose your face claim. This is linked to the respect rule. 7 - POST CONTENT - We post paragraphs here. Plural. At least two or three in a post with four or five sentences each, and grammar is a must. Keep consistent with what your fellow posters are doing on the same thread. Please also keep it past tense and in-character. Also, no excessive swearing, cursing or anything of the sort. Now and then you can do it but if you go over the line, it will be a problem. If you feel that you need help with this, please contact a staff member and we will do our best. 8 - GODMODDING- This basically means influencing a character that is not yours. Your character is not a god, therefore they cannot decide for others. No using out-of-character information, in-character. No one is invincible, no one is all-knowing and everyone can die. If the other has given you specific written permission to use their character in any way, only then can you do so. Anything else will result in a warning. 9 - AGE APPROPRIATE- Okay so this site will contain some gore if necessary. We do not want some ideal, fairy-tale world. However do not overdo it. Please keep everything as close to PG-13 as possible. You have an issue, you bring it up with the admin and we'll talk it out. 10 - CHARACTERS For the moment we do not accept any character older than 600 years. If you wish to be the leader of a species, then contact one of the admins and it might happen, though we are pretty set on this rule. As for the number of characters, we think 3 per person is quite enough. You must have 50 in character posts with each and keep them all active if you want a 4th or 5th and must let an admin know about it. As for the society, shifters and vampires must report to the leaders of their races. You do not have to do this in a thread, a simple PM to figure out how things should go for your character would be enough. But in character, all members should be bonded to the leader of the city - vampires - or shifter alpha - shifters. Your character MUST have a last name. I don't care if it's just an alias if they're really old but everyone has a last name, date of birth and so on. You enter those details in your application. If your character has amnesia or something, say so, but the info still exists and will be noted. If a thread has [Closed] or [Name] after the title, please discuss joining the thread with the one who made it. It's basic and everyone should know it but I'm going to bring it up anyway. All masters MUST BE ACTIVE! If you want to be a master vampire, alpha of your shifter group or whatever the case, you must log in at least a couple times a week or you will lose your privileges, no questions asked. You will be given a set of rules you must respect. 11 - SHOUT BOX Nothing that is not PG-13. Meaning keep it clean. No adult anything except for maturity. Do not bring your drama into it. If you have a problem with a member, politely discuss it by PM. All the site rules apply. Some netspeak will be accepted but don't overdo it or else you will get in trouble. The admins reserve the right to change and update these rules as often as necessary. You will be informed if they change so please stay up to date if you do receive a notification. If you do not follow them it is your problem, not ours. Do not respect the rules and you can and will get banned. Respect them and we will be a big, happy family.
