Roleplaying.
Okay, so I understand you guys came here most likely to Roleplay. Here are the rules.
1!) Please write using third person speech. OOC [out of character] talk doesn't have to be in third person, but, when you're roleplaying, it does.
Example
FIRST PERSON:
I walked through the forest, trying to be as quiet as possible. It was, to my surprise, a very warm day for the month of October. I heard a rustle in the bushes behind me, so I whipped around and found...
Nope. Do it like this.
Example
THIRD PERSON:
Unari walked through the forest, trying to be as quiet as possible. It was, to her surprise, a very warm day for the month of October. She heard a rustle in the bushes behind her, so she whipped around and found...
Good, good. Now you've got it!
2!) No Auto hitting or God-modding, please. It's rude, and no one likes it.
Example
AUTO-HITTING (a):
Unari lunged at Harat, slicing his throat open with her teeth. She leaped back, laughing. She had killed him.
^ No one likes an Auto-hitter. That's whats happening in the example above. Auto-hitting is basically like hurting or killing someone's character without their say-so. That's a no-no.
Example
AUTO-HITTING (b):
Unari lunged at Harat, aiming her teeth at his neck. It seemed like years had passed while she waited to meet flesh.
^ This is more like it. Try waiting for the person to reply, give them a chance to dodge or possibly get hit. They decide, and they can't dodge every time.
God-modding is when your character is invincible, or it can't be touched by any attackers, let alone be killed. That's not fair to your fellow roleplayers if you dodge every attack they throw at you. It's impossible, number one, and two, it's rude. Give 'em a chance! =)
3!) Try to make your posts at least 6o words long. Yep, 6o. That's what I expect out of all you roleplayers, and I know you have it in you. It's not hard, I promise. NO ONE LINED POSTS!
4!) No double-posting. Double-posting is when you don't wait for the next person to post, and you keep posting.
Example
DOUBLE POSTING (a):
Unari
Harat
Unari
Unari
Unari
Unari
No. Absolutely not. This is what you do:
Example
DOUBLE POSTING (b):
Unari
Harat
Unari
Harat
Unari
And if you get a new member in the thread, post like this;
Example
DOUBLE POSTING (c):
Unari
Harat
Unari
Harat
Unari
Bluz
Unari
Harat
Bluz
5!) You can have as many characters/accounts as you want on this site. Go for it! As long as you keep them all active, I don't mind one bit.
Also, please stick with one character per account. It makes it easier on all of us. =)
Respect.
6!) Racist comments- None of these, please. I will not tolerate any comments about some body being a N-gger or a B--n-r. Or Cr-cker. Or W-etb-ck. It is mean and impolite. No one wants to be called these things, so ask yourself, "If I was called this, or any other mean name, would I feel good?" And if the answer is "yes," then don't say it anyway. Otherwise, the person who was called that name will report you to an admin and you will be either banned or deleted.
7!) Sexist comments- None of these either. It's not cool and it shows how immature you are. I'm all for girl power and all of that crap, but just don't put the same OR opposite sex down, because it makes people feel bad. If you say anything like "Girls go to collage to get more knowledge. Boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider," Then you will be reported and banned or deleted.
8!) Any other "Ist" comments- Agist or anything like that, I will not allow. For those who aren't familiar with my word, "agist", it means you make comments like, "You're stupid because you're thirteen." Well, I happen to be thirteen, and that doesn't mean that, because I'm thirteen, I can't run a good, interesting, fun website and enforce the rules. Plus, you could be twenty-one years old and not understand the meaning of or know how to spell the word, "Transformation". It all depends. It all depends... =)
9!) Sacrilegious comments- Comments putting down God, if you even believe in him, are not ok on this site. Please refrain from making ANY sacrilegious comments.
1o!) Others' religions- Putting down other religions on this site is ALSO not ok. Weather or not you are Wiccan, Jewish, Christian, or even Atheist, just don't do it. You will be both banned AND deleted from this site.
11!) Cyber-bullying- Not acceptable. If, at any time, you feel bullied, contact an admin through personal message (PM) immediately.
Thread's Ratings.
So, we've got a variety of people on this site, meaning, we're not all one age. Some of us want to be a little graphic, and that's fine. However, there are some guidelines.
12!) Put a rating in your title. Ratings include:
[G] - General audience. Refrain from sexual content, gory violence, and watch your language.
[PG] or [13] - A little violence, minor swearing. Hints at adult themes.
[R] or [Explicit] - Restricted audience. Gory violence, sexual content, and swearing like the "F-bomb".
NOTE- Any unrated titles will be considered [G].
13!) About sexual content, you can take that stuff, like the really OMG stuff, to PMs. Put it in the title that it's [R], so people who don't like it can stay away.
OOC Chat.
OOC chat is Out of Character. You can find many boards based on OOC chat, so, here are some more rules. YAY!
14!) Be respectful. No fighting in the cBox or ANYWHERE out of character. Take it to PMs if you have a problem with someone, but BE RESPECTFUL. Don't say, "Hey, you're an idiot because you called me a cat in roleplay." EVEN if they did call you a cat in roleplay. If someone takes it too far, let an admin know.
The cBox.
15!) Chatspeak is allowed. Just don't use it for every word.
16!) NO ROLEPLAYING IN THE cBOX!
17!) Play nice, children! =)
18!) Be respectful! You might just get rewarded. =)
19!) No spamming, spamvertising, or Spambotting us! We do not welcome such people in the cBox. If you do such things, you shall be banned from the box.
NOTE- Spamming is when you post
like
this
non
stop
for
every
line.
Spamvertising is saying,
HEY COME TO MY SITE! THE URL IS-
HEY COME TO MY SITE! THE URL IS-
HEY COME TO MY SITE! THE URL IS-
HEY COME TO MY SITE! THE URL IS-
HEY COME TO MY SITE! THE URL IS-
HEY COME TO MY SITE! THE URL IS-
HEY COME TO MY SITE! THE URL IS-
Spambotting is when you send a virus or something stupid like that to trash every cBox on every site. You shall be banned if you do such things. You have been warned.
[NOTE: More rules may be added once I think of them.]
