We are an intermediate-advanced, PG-13 RPG. Don't be afraid to ask if you have any questions, and suggestions are always welcome! =]

The world is crawling with things that go bump in the night - most people just aren’t aware of it. They live out their lives in innocent ignorance of the supernatural society, denying the obvious when they see it. That is where the Watches - the Others - come in.

« Thread Started on Jun 3, 2008, 6:45pm »

General
  • Read all threads in this board and the information exchange area before creating a character.
  • If you have any questions at all from the start to the end of your stay here, please contact the site staff members via Pm with your worries.
  • We are a PG-13 site; please keep it to that level as well as be warned there are cursings and explicit content to watch out for. If you no like, get over it or leave.
  • Treat Others as you wish to be treated and everyone should get along just perfectly.
  • No spamming! There is an advertisement board if you wish to advertise your site and a chat board for anything and everything else.
    Please do not join merely to advertise though, and don't PM people with advertisements either.
  • For obvious reasons, please have your character's name as your display name.


C-Box

No,


  • fighting in the Cbox. If there’s a problem, take it to PMs or call upon a staff member.
    Or better yet, just try to get along.
  • impersonating. Don't pretend to be other members or staff. It's annoying and stupid.
  • linking other sites or threads. There are other places for that, honestly.
  • spam for the sake of spamming. If you’re bored, eat your toes.
  • taking over the chat with so many messages. It's annoying, abusive to the box, and not pretty.
  • gossiping about members, staff, or characters. Whether or not they are good comments, keep it to yourself. Your comment may not always be appreciated.
  • role play in the box ^^;; I know people like to *hug* each other and stuff, just try to limit yourself. I don't mind most of it, but some things just go too far...
  • excessive cursing in the Cbox, and remember to keep it PG-13.

  • Respect each other. That's really what it's all about.
  • Please use your character's name somewhere in your Cbox name. It doesn't have to be their full, it can just be a first name or nickname - just something so that we know who we're talking to.
  • Not a rule, but just as a note, if you see that the cbox seemed to send your message 2x, it’s just a glitch - refresh and there really won’t be a double post


Character Creation
  • Understand that for your character to be accepted, you must fill in the correct format.
  • Your application must be accepted before you can post in any in-character boards.
  • After 2 weeks, any incomplete applications will be archived.
  • You may have as many characters as you wish, but you must register for a new account for each character. Also, you must keep all of your characters active, don't create more than you can handle.
  • I'm sorry, but no characters under age 16 will be allowed. PG-13, remember?
    On the same line of thought, don't make a character obseenly old for the sake of going 'I was around when the Cavemen were here so I'm wise and shit' unless you have a suitably detailed history explaining such an age and what you did during such a time.
  • You cannot make more than one character at a time, (I don't need to see four characters in one go as example) - make it a reasonable 20 post count each before making a new one.
  • No canon-remakes. This means that you cannot create a canon character from an anime/manga. Be original.


Role Play
  • No God Moding // Power Playing.
    >> no invincible, all-powerful characters
    >> no automatic hits on another character
  • No double posting, unless you're closing the thread or something.
  • No one liners please. I expect to see at least 5 sentences a post.
    >> if you write less than that, a staff member will notify you to modify it (via pm or a message on the thread in question).
    >> if you fail to edit the post, it will be deleted.
    >> if you would like help with posting, read this.
  • Absolutely no chat-speak in any threads.
  • All posts must be written in 3rd person.
  • And please people, for the love of god -use a bit of decent grammar; there is a spell check button in play right next to your posting and preview buttons. Do everyone a favor and use it, rping isn't so much fun if I've got to fry my brain trying to figure out just what exactly did you post.
  • We are PG-13 as I will remind you, so fade out when your character decides to indulge themselves .


Images
  • Only celeb-related images can be used on the site (anime faces only used if you've okay'd it with an Admin).
  • If you are using a canon face claim, you must check the list, here, first. If a name is on the list, you may not use the face to play by.
  • Please, for signatures, don’t make them any bigger than 500 by 250 pixels, it widens the screen unnecessarily.


Activity
  • When you join, you must finish your character profile within a week of joining.
  • We all have busy lives outside of the fun of rping, no worries there; but please try to remain active. I’ll be going through members every month and those that are inactive for just such an amount of time will be warned then deleted if they don’t become active or let us know the reason for their absence.
  • Even participating in the game and chat boards are considered active.


Warning // Banning // Deletion
  • If any rules are broken, you will be warned once (via pm).
  • Second fault will receive 10% warning and an added 10% for each time after you are warned once. Depending on the rule broken, the percent may rise.
  • As soon as you reach 100% a three-day ban will occur.
  • If you continue breaking the rules, you will be deleted.
  • Members whose accounts and characters were removed due to inactivity may rejoin, as long as you stay active this time. If you sign up with your previous username, all of your old posts will be linked to the new account. (And don’t take deletion personally, it just doesn't make sense to keep profiles around when they're merely just taking up space and they haven't even logged in for half a year. )
