general

• Be nice. Respect everyone.
  
  
• This site is rated M, as in mature. We allow all the blood, sex, and booze. We expect our members to be mature about it.
  
  
• Do not break the Proboards TOS. We allow sexual situations, but we do not allow cybersex. Do not go into graphic details of sex or violence.
  
  
• You must be thirteen or older to join, no questions asked.
  
  
• One account per character.
  

characters

• Do not role play or post in the claims board until your character has been accepted.
  
  
• We do not allow famous or filthy rich characters. This is a lower-middle class town that is slowly falling apart, not Hollywood or the Upper East Side.
  
  
• Although we welcome original, unique characters, we are a realistic RPG. You can't have magical abilities, eyes that change color, green skin, etc.
  
  
• You are allowed up to four characters- preferably two female and two male. Please PM an admin if you would like another character.
  
  
• Although there is no age limits, we do not want this place to get overrun by teenagers. Please create an adult character (18 and up) when possible.
  
  
• Human face claims only. No cartoons, no anime, no comics, no dolls, no IMVU-type images. Only real humans.
  
  
• No canons. For example, you can't play a character named Serena van der Voodsen. Make up your own names. You also can't use your PB's name as your characters name (for example, Taylor Momsen is your PB and your character's name is Taylor).
  

signatures

• Your signature cannot be wider than 425 pixels.
  
  
• Do not put images in blockquote tags. It stretches the board.
  
  
• Do not post more than three 100x100 icons or one 200x200 image in your posts.
  
  

role playing

• Each post must be at least 100 words. Even though we have a low word minimum, we expect near-perfect spelling and grammar. The spell check is there for a reason.
  
  
• Do not use chatspeak or wolfspeak when role playing. Although it is good to have a wide vocabulary and not use the same words over and over again, please don't use words such as pyrrhula or elsholtzia. Seriously- no one wants to look up a bunch of unheard-of words because you like to show off.
  
  
• Do not double post or bump your threads. Also, do not make out of character posts in the role playing boards.
  
  
• Do not godmode or powerplay. If you don't know know what that means, you probably will not be accepted.
