GENERAL
• Follow the basic ToS of the Proboards. While most people have not read through the rules, we would ask that players use common sense.
• Keep your avatar images appropriate. Excessively mature images will be asked to be changed by a moderator/administrator. If it persists then the player may be asked to leave the forum. While the content here is mature, it can be done tastefully.
• Players are expected to conduct themselves maturely. While it is fine to occasionally engage in silliness, people who cannot censor their behavior will be given a warning before they are asked to leave the board. This is expected both on the forum and in the Chatbox.
ROLEPLAYING
• No God-modding. Admins reserve the right to delete or ask for editing on any posts where it appears this is happening.
• No killing another person's character.
• Grammar is your friend. Please, put some effort into your grammar and spelling. Ellipsis are not to be overused; no one wants to see a post full of "...". They are meant to add drama, but get annoying if seen all over. This is meant to be a semi-literate RP experience. Try to keep that in mind when posting.
• Please stick to only one character unless you have been approved by the board administrator. If you apply for a character, then play that character. In the event that you wish to drop a character in exchange for another, you will be expected to repeat the application process after speaking with an admin. Do not just re-apply without permission.
• Please do your best to remain in-character. Don't take someone you have no confidence in being able to write. It isn't expected that you know every nuance of a character, but out of respect to the artist and other players, at least have a grasp on their personality.
• You are welcome to send your character wherever your please but try not to join too many topics at once. If you are going to join more than one thread, please try to keep the timeline smooth -- no jumping around through time.
• If you do not post with your canon character after one week, your profile will be moved to "frozen". You are welcome to come back and claim them within another week, but after two full weeks, you lose the character unless you post a reason of leave in the extended leave forum.
• This is a PG-13 forum by default. Threads with R-rated content are to be marked "NSFW". Mature threads are expected to be posted in the appropriate board section.
• Romance is allowed, of course, but pairings must be submitted and approved via the pairing thread. This is to avoid fights or shipping wars.
• When posting, there is a two paragraph minimum. Instant replies obviously aren't expected, but put some effort into responding to others, and try to provide them with something to work with.
CHARACTER SIGN UP
Applications must be submitted within one week of character reservation. Out of fairness to those who might be waiting for a specific character, please be prompt at submitting. Once the application is approved, players are expected to participate in a thread or start one within two days of approval.
• When you sign up for a canon character please use the template. You may add things if you wish, but you cannot skip anything.
• Put effort into your profiles. Writing single lines for each of the answers or likes/dislikes shows that you most likely don't know fully what you are doing. No one expects a novel, but show that you care.
• OCs are allowed, but only for countries. No cities, states, or made-up countries. This still leaves room for a LOT of people.
• Players are allowed to reserve and app for one character at a time. They may app with administrative permission (meaning that you should ask first) once they have met a minimum of 15 in character posts. In the event that players are asked to make adjustments to their applications by staff, the player is responsible for making those changes within a 24 hour period of time.
• Genderbends are allowed, but there will be no doubling up 'Nations'. So there will be either a male or female version -- not both. The only exceptions to this might be made at the discretion of the administration, depending on if the opposite gendered character seems to differentiate enough from the other. So no carbon copies of the Hetalia characters (that's annoying and uncreative).
• If you wish to drop a current character for another character, PM the head admin and say which character you are dropping. Wait until you receive a reply then audition for your new one.
• To show that you have read these rules, please write Comedy at the end of your application.
