RULES WTF?
ONE. kyle and kirstie are gods. so listen to them if you want to live :3 aha, now on a more serious note - yes, i'm serious, we are both heavenly forces - respect is rule number one. respect the admins, your peers, your pet chinchilla, it'll help get you through life. i don't care if you dislike somebody or not. don't have anything nice to say, don't say it all - just ignore them. if they're smart, they'll get the idea. oh, and for you racists, sexists, homophobes, whatever, you can all go fuck off, because we don't want you on the site. we don't need fighting or disrespect; we have a very low tolerance for it, and if you want to try and find out just how low that tolerance is, that's your own fault.
TWO. as far as the rating goes, this is an r-rated site. we allow everything: sex, drugs, rock and roll, whatever your heart desires. however, if things get to the point where we’ve got “he thrusted deep inside her” and people touching themselves, then we have to mark them with an [m] or something like that. if we find those threads happening without markings, then we’re not going to be pleased. at all. we ask that you please be at least thirteen to join, but if you’re younger and think you can handle it, then that’s fine. but i’m just saying – if you’re nine years old and roleplaying a sex thread, we have a bit of a problem. also, as you can probably guess, swearing is something we have no issue with. free speech and all. go figure. anyways, we will let you swear, so long as you don’t do it excessively – in other words, if every other word is fuck, we aren’t going to be very happy.
THREE. we hold activity checks every month. if your name isn’t on the list when it’s over, you get deleted, sorry. if you’re on vacation or something, we’ll make an exception, so long as you’ve told us ahead of time. we’re not going to sympathize with you if you had to go away and didn’t tell us. that’s just the way the world works. as for how many characters you can have? ten. and each and every single one of them should be active. if you have ten characters, and even one of them goes inactive, then we’re deleting them all, and yes, we will laugh at you. here’s how this is going to work – you must make a post every two weeks with at least half your accounts, and you will always round up. so, if you have six, three charries should post one week, three charries the next. try and make sure that you switch off charries every week or so so that you don’t fall into danger of losing all your characters. if you can’t handle it, delete the character – it’s that simple. just tell kirstie or me first so that we know. and as you’ll also notice, we have a lovely icbox. THE ICBOX IS A PRIVILEGE. IF YOU DO NOT POST IN CHARACTER ON THE FORUM, WE WILL REMOVE THAT PRIVELEGE FROM YOU. and yes, we will notice if you’re going in the icbox everyday but you have no posts in character ron your account. that’s just not right.
FOUR. upon registering, please change your name to your character’s first middle last in all lower case with a full stop (period) at the end. example: sasha daemon cohen. that is the only way we will allow any accounts to be. please use the application template we have provided and fill everything out. claim and reserve your canon’s if you’re making one, and please make sure you fill out the face claim too D: don’t reserve more than one canon or face at once. please don’t make ten characters within three days. we ask that when you are making the character, you please do not make them a mary-sue or gary-stu, and try to make them as realistic as possible. yes, these are criminals, so if you’re going to have a mass murderer or somebody who was involved in a bombing plot, that’s fine, but let’s not actually get to the point where you’ve killed the president or something. if an admin deems the app denied, you must fix it. you have a week to do the app, and four days before your reservation on a canon runs out. we ask that you please make a girl for every fourth guy, and a guy for every fourth girl. please don’t have more than three characters in the same member group. as far as sexualities goes, half of your characters may be gay or bisexual. we will let this one slide if the ratios are okay, but if it gets to the point where there are far too many gay characters, then we aren’t going to be happy. as for straight characters, you may have seven before you start making gay/bi ones – sorry, but it’s realistic for there to be more straight than gay. and we do encourage you to use other sexualities – asexual, pansexual, demisexual, whatever. they’re more interesting, in all honesty. please ask an admin before making your character pregnant or something life-altering like that. and don’t just have them be pregnant out of nowhere – chances are, if you ask for them to be pregnant and they haven’t had sex yet, kirstie and i are going to say no.
FIVE. the word count on this site is four hundred words. don’t complain about it. it’s not that hard. you can do four hundred words in a paragraph. in truth, we’re probably going to want the posts more around six hundred, but we understand that the muse doesn’t work sometimes. just saying, though, that four hundred is not an area we want you to be around. if you even go one word under it, we are going to shout at you. it sounds hardass, but it’s better for you – if you write more, you will get better at writing. it’ll force you to start including more words, start describing their surroundings more, their thoughts more…yeah. i’m sorry for insulting you with these next few rules, but they have to be said anyways: no godmodding. no making your character act unrealistic. no doing anything life-altering without admin permission. password is scene boys make me drool. please establish a posting order if the threads are going to be three or more people. and please try to match what the other person gives you. i, personally, am going to become bitchy on you if you give me four hundred words to a thousand word post that i slaved over. everyone will. so don’t do it. if your muse isn’t working, don’t post – we’re not going to hate you for that. we rp in the third person, by the way, and it’s in past tense – no present tense, no first person, sorry.
SIX. GRAPHICS ARE AN ABSOLUTE MUST. you must have a signature and/or avatar, and it must be of your character’s playby, and the playby must be a real person. so long as the playby isn’t anime or a drawing and is a person that has or does actually exist, we don’t care who it is – they can be disney, scene, from tv, a musician, a model, your mom’s second cousin, whatever. in fact, scene characters would probably work out better here, considering it’s not exactly that bright of a place. but, we don’t care what playby you use, so long as it’s a real person. and please credit whoever made your graphics. never steal for yourself. we will ban you if you say they’re yours and they belong to somebody else. it’s as simple as that. if you can’t make graphics, then please ask somebody else to do them for you – we’d be glad to help. i can do some graphics, and kirstie obviously made everything on the site, so yeah <3
SEVEN. THE CBOX AND ICBOX ARE BOTH PRIVELEGES, AND WE WILL TAKE THEM AWAY IF YOU CAN’T FOLLOW THE RULES. and while i’m at it, DO NOT SPAM. there is an advertising board for a reason. if you advertise anywhere else, your ass will be gone like that. you don’t even get a second chance. now, back to the cboxes – do not spam in them. ever. in the ooc cbox, the admins are gods and you must listen to them. you may link to things in your name, and tell people to go there, but not excessively – we can tell when it’s in good fun and when it isn’t. keep the chatspeak to an absolute minimum – you can all type normally, we don’t need to put u instead of you. obviously, we’re not going to care that much if you use things like lol or rn or cba, because we will use them too, and that’s hypocritical if we say you can’t use them. if you fight in the cbox, we will give you one warning to stop, and then we will ban both parties from the cbox. sorry. kirstie and i have been admins long enough to develop zero tolerance for fight. as for the icbox, it is an in-character box. not an in-character chat box. it’s icbox, not iccbox. basically, it’s roleplaying without threading. you use dialogue and actions using hyphens or these: *. whatever those are. like i said before, if you can’t thread and use the icbox, we will take away your icbox privilege. simple enough, right? right. you can be as rude as you want in the icbox, since it’s from your character’s point of view, and for all we know, they’re the wicked witch of the west. the icbox is rated r, by the way – sex may happen at any given moment in there. if you have a problem with that, then don’t use it. simple as.
EIGHT. one last rule – DO NOT EVER NAG ANYONE TO DO ANYTHING. we have a suggestions thread. you can shoot admins a pm for ideas. but if you ever barge in and start criticizing every single thing and saying that we should do things a certain way, we will hurt you. in addition to that, don’t nag people to post or the admins to accept you. kirstie and i are petty little brats – most times, we won’t post or accept you just to annoy you. we all have our lives. we are all real people. we all can’t spend our entire day on the site. sorry to disappoint you, but we are human. oh, and by the way, that password from earlier? add this to it: D<. if the angry face isn’t there, we’re not accepting you. have a good day <3
