RULES of ROLEPLAY
Please keep in mind this is a College / University based RPG.
Everyone here is here for a common interest. I will not stand for people not RPing with other people. You cannot "Snub" people, and you have no reason to be afraid of other people, mmkay? You need diversity. Roleplay with people, even if you don't care for their character. I'm not saying everyone needs to be best buds with each other, but I'm just saying -- if you see a RP post that's gone ignored for a week, reply to it.
2. Don't try to control the plot
It might not seem like it, but this RP has a structured plot for each term. Don't try to make a huge plot out of what should just stay a character plot. The only people allowed to do that will know who they are. However, there is nothing against making small plots between other characters. I.E. - She cheated on me!, You're my long-lost brother, etc.
3. Graphics are allowed in your RP posts
I know we've got some graphics people here. If you have a picture of your charrie, or a picture of the spot where you're at, you're allowed to put it in the RP post. In fact, I encourage it!
4. Roleplay in the past-tense, third person.
Like so:
Tanya wondered whether or not it would rain.
Don't RP in the first person..
I told her it wasn't supposed to rain until Thursday.
And don't RP in the present...
At this exact moment, it starts raining.
5. Don't post actions in * *
6. Post all dialogue in " "
You may bold or color your dialogue if you wish. It makes it easier to see.
7. Post all OOC comments in ((Double Parenthesis)) at the end of your posts.
8. Post all thoughts in italics
9. Respect Fate.
Due to a lot of RPers these days controlling other people's characters/being Mary-Sues, this RP comes equipped with Fate. If you try to defy Fate, you'll only make it worse for yourself. The Fates have permission to dispense cruel and unusual punishment for you and your character, and also have the ability to edit your posts. Also, if you send a PM to the Fates asking them why they did something, you'll just make it worse. However, your character can make a "request" to the Fates via PM, and they will contemplate what you ask. (PMs should be IC). Fate controls things for a REASON. Your character might be instructed to do something she/he otherwise wouldn't do. It's for a REASON. Be glad you get to be part of the plot.
10. No Mary Sue's!
Nobody is perfect, so neither should your character.
11. Concerning Post Length and content
This site is meant to be for experienced RPers. Mature content WILL ensue. That being said, I'm not going to ask you to prove anything. There is no minimum word count. But if I see you posting a bunch of one-liners, you will be contacted. If I see you posting with the grammar skills of a seven-year-old, I will assume you ARE seven, in which case you shouldn't be here. If it's a problem with English, it's just as bad. I UNDERSTAND the language barrier, but this site is for experienced RPers in English. This is not a site for improving those skills. If there is an issue with a disability or a language issue please contact the DEAN.
12. This site is rated RP 13+
Things ALLOWED: Drug references, moderate swearing, mild drug/alcohol use (Though the school rules prohibit them), adult situations, violence, alluding to sexual intercourse, mild prejudice.
Things NOT ALLOWED: The F bomb, the N word, RPing sexual intercourse, graphically describing certain parts of the human body *creeper eyebrows here*, racial/religious discrimination (I don't want to see degrading nicknames!).
13. Finished Threads
If a thread is done or finished (meaning you have gotten all you needed to out of it), please either notify the DEAN, or post complete as a reply.
14. Character Options.
At the moment we only have three. Students (Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors), Staff (Professors), and recently added Townie. Alumni are not characters you can apply as. As the years progress, when your character graduates, they will become an Alumni.
15. Number of Accounts
You are more than welcome to make as many characters as you can handle. However, please keep in mind that each character must have its own account. Also, if you have more than one character please make sure each stay active.
