[/b][/color][/size][/font][/center]THErules.
ONE -Aww yea, this is a pretty important rule, one of those big ones. Respect the administrators.. That goes without saying, it's like respect your elders. Unless they're stupid, of course. Oh you should probably respect them too, just try not to listen. It's catching sometimes. Rude? Sorry, keep forgetting. Just do it. Alright? Okay.
TWO - This one's respect your fellow roleplayers. Well, yea, that's important, because what's more important than the people that are around you? Without them, you're nothing but a bitter old man with a keyboard. What will you do then? DO it.
THREE - It's about registration. Ha-you can sign up with whatever you want but you have to change it to your characters name. I could sign up as 'Bob', always liked Bob. Do I look like a Bob? Probably not, Smith.
So it says it is better if you change it to a tidier state, like 'Amy Pond' I still think Amelia is better. What good is Amy? Amelia sounds super.
FOUR - Wooord limits. Blah forget limits, they're horrible. How about we talk about respect again, someone writes you a super post, could top my favorite book. You're not just going to write a couple of lines are you? Don't be serious! You get in there and you give them something awesome back. and I don't only mean quantity, quality too is important. Just give them enough to work with and get excited about, I bet you loved reading it. Oh! And don't forget, never feel threatened to message this person and tell them that you can't handle posts like that and you could come to some sort of agreement.
I love it peaceful... nothing worse than war.
FIVE - Rating. O saucy. Apparently, PROBoards have made it impossible to have mature boards. Well not impossible but it is being reinforced. Good ole proboards, keeping our kids safe. Some language and violence is allowed, please fade to black or perhaps play off board in a messenger. This includes playing in Private messages. I was told to be very serious about this and it is a very serious subject. So, I am being very very serious.
See this. It's my serious face. Take a good look because you'll be seeing this a lot.
Some fondling and make out scenes are great too! Just don't over do it, that's not what we're about. He is a good man and he is a proud man...
I'm innocent, I tell you. Don't make me blush.
SIX - See the Cbox button down the bottom and the in character chat up in the table? That's the Tardis chat and the game chat, again it's about respect. You want to share a link, post it in your name and don't spam, it's cleaner and causes less trouble. No advertising because that's rude, does the Tardis look like a campaign advert? No, she's sensitive and doesn't need your signs and fancy slogans. Cussing within a minimum, no abuse or pretending to be someone you're not because as much as I love a good game, that's just rude.
SEVEN - Third person, basically lets write a story with our words and third person is easier. Just don't speak it, you'll look incredibly silly, I know.
EIGHT - NO GOD MODDING! Yes I'm yelling. I have every right to yell. You're not a God, don't act like one, its very pretentious of you. Play your character and only your character.
NINE - onto those gorgeous graphics everyone loves so much. all icons must be 100x100, makes everything look prettier. if you're going to have a signature, do not stretch the board! you must have either an icon or a signature, but do not have to have both. in other words, if you do not have an icon, you must have a signature and vice versa.
TEN - We would really like it if you first read through all the important stuff, because research never hurts and then you're to post up you're application. You cannot roleplay until your character is accepted, but feel free to look around and get familiar with the site. You may also post in the fun and games section or post an avert to a site.
When you have been accept you should fill out all the claims so your stuff doesn't get stolen, things seem to go missing around here...
ELEVEN - Oh yes, when creating a thread, please use the format YEAR#, MONTH# DAY# - TITLE. also, make sure to include whether or not the thread is open or tag whoever else is posting with you. This is very important.
TWELVE - plot with people. if you see that someone has a plot request up and no one has replied to it, then you reply to it. one, it's a nice thing to do and who knows, you might just come up with a kick ass plot. and two, it'll help draw new members in. if they see that people are willing to plot with others, well... okay, it won't automatically make them join. but it will help their decision.
THIRTEEN - again, i'm sorry this is so long, you know I do like to ramble but i promise this is the last rule. have fun! no one is making you join this site, so you must have come looking for a good time. us too. write some scenes, make some friends, and remember to smile. We Doctors all have our trademark grins for a reason.[/blockquote]
