1.) before even registering, you must understand that this board has a word count of at the least five-hundred words! we understand off days, but one paragraph or one liners do not cut it. we want detail, detail, detail. if you can't make it up there to five hundred, describe the surroundings, describe your character, anything!

2.) if you are roleplaying with someone, and they post one thousand or two thousand words, absolutely do not post just five-hundred words. that gives them nothing to work with. try to describe something or add more to the beginning of the post so they have something to reply to. it's no fair if you don't. they tried really hard on their post. give them the same courtesy.

3.) after your character has been accepted, your display name can't be: butterflycutie45326. your display name is your character's first (or nickname) middle and last in lowercase! it just keeps everything looking nice and pretty.

4.) i know everyone hates this rule, but you have to have it so that sites aren't overrun with girls. every two girls made, the third character must be a male. no exceptions. there isn't any limit on the amount of characters one can have, but one can't have all girls.

5.) there is no set amount of how many characters you have, but if you can't roleplay them all, or roleplay with one more than the other, we will PM you to start roleplaying with your other characters or they will be deleted and the play-by's go up for grabs.

6.) as popular as 'no app' sites are, we are not one of them. we expect you to fill out an application thoroughly before roleplaying. it's a simple application and it shouldn't be that big of a deal to fill out.

7.) do not bug the admins or anyone else for that matter. we all have lives outside of this site, and do not like it when you bug us to respond to a thread or accept an application.

8.) not everyone is perfect. that means, yes, no mary or gary sues. not everyone is rich and has a perfect family life and doesn't have a care in the world. but then again, not everyone is an orphan that is abused by their foster parents and has a horrible life. just try to make them semi-normal. sure, we can have some craziness, but nothing drastic.

9.) the definition of power-playing and god modding is taking control over someone else's character. and therefore, unless someone gives you permission to do this, please do not. it's really not fun to roleplay with.

10.) past tense and third person limited, please! if you don't understand, look it up. it's really that simple.

11.) use spell check, seriously. that's why it's there. the admins aren't illiterate, and neither should you!

12.) absolutely no chatspeak, at all! in the chatbox and im threads it isn't a big deal, but seriously. no chatspeak!

13A.) only famous celebrity play-bys. some random myspace person doesn't cut it. neither do no-name celebrities. if none of the staff have heard of the play-by, we won't accept it.

13B.) to go along with the play-by rule, for this particular site, aka a modeling site, we do not want models to be used! we would rather like known celebrities. it's a little tougher and so much more fun!

14.) graphics shouldn't stretch the page. and please try to make most graphics not grainy or anything. if you aren't good at graphics, we have a graphics board. make a request, and someone will fill it. graphics define the type of roleplayer you are. if we see that you can't make good graphics and aren't willing to change that, your application will be denied.

15.) respect the admins. seriously, bow down to us and give us cookies. we own this site, biotch. we've spent tons of time on this board, and don't want idiots slamming us about it.

16.) don't be annoying. it's not cool or fun for anyone. we understand if you want to vent and all, but do not spam the c-box or keep telling people to reply to a thread. just chillax.

17.) this is a mature rated board. sex and drugs and alcohol and violence is all allowed. pregnancy is allowed, but in small doses. if you really want to do a sex thread, fade out at the inappropriate parts, and if you really want to roleplay those parts out, do it in your PMs. PM a staff member about deaths, pregnancies, overdoses, ect.

18.) if you seriously read all this, i love you. if you didn't, you probably should have. or if you used the ctrl + f button to look for the password in here, that's really sad. because that means you don't really care what i had to say. it's 'bop to the top'. by the way.
