These are the rules you must abide by, in the joining of this forum you agree to both these rules and the Proboards TOS.
General.
There is to be no violation of the following rules and/or the Proboards TOS. If you are found to have disobeyed these laws then you will follow our warning system. (three strikes = out)
In OOC there is to be no swearing, you may swear IC but please keep this to a level that is both suitable and responsible. There are people who find such language offensive, please respect this.
This is strickly a werewolf and human role play, i will not tolerate any other types of characters on it. (vampires etc.) There are more than enough RPG's for you to join those types of characters on.
Disrespect to members and staff will not be tolerated. If a staff requests you do something then do not argue, or if it is unfair send me a private PM.
Harrasment of any kind will not be tolerated, this includes but is not restricted to; sexism, racism, ageism etc. If you are found to be doing this it will result in a 2 day ban. This may vary depending on how vulgar it is.
Bitten.
The novel Bitten, by Kelley Armstrong is what this role play is based off. It does not follow the exact plot line of the novel so it is not required you read the book before joining. (In fact, i honestly don't care if you do or you don't)
However for those who want background information on the characters and/or book. I will provide links to places, or you can Google it yourself.
Official Site, Wikipedia and A Review. I hope these help a little for those of you wanting to know what Howl is inspired by.
Joining.
Make sure you follow the provided form when joining, this saves us having to search through information in your registrations. If you put detail into your bio's they are more likely to be accepted quickly.
Please have your display name as your characters first and last name (middle is optional), as this makes it easier for members to find any specific person.
There is a limit of three characters per member, and each member must have these on separate accounts. Again this saves confusion as to who is posting as what character.
Try to keep the gender ratio even, if there is 10 females and 2 males then obviously we would hope you would make a male character. Also, if you have three accounts, you must have at least one as the opposite gender to your first.
Posting.
We are an intermediate to advanced role play and thus we expect your posts to be at minimum; two paragraphs long. This is not hard, be descriptive about your character.
Power-playing is prohibited, this means you cannot act out the actions of another persons character. Not only does it give you an advantage, but it is unfair. So lets not have any of that shall we?
You may post in whatever tense you like, however we request you do not switch these halfway through a post. It sometimes makes it a little hard to follow.
Do not use chatspeak in your IC posts, it is unbelievably annoying and is also hard to read. I am strict on this as i am what we call ... chatspeak hater.
Do not always role play with the same person as we love variety and i've seen newer members often left out of RPing patterns, lets not let that happen.
Maturity.
I am aware there are younger people in the role playing community, however this site is rated M. If you do not believe you can cope with situations that may be role played i discourage you to join.
Sex, drugs and alcohol are permitted. However please do not abuse this rule, i do not want every second thread about sex. If that happens you can gaurentee this rule will be changed.
You cannot kill another persons character unless both parties have agreed to the kill and have let a member of staff know. However The Pack may arrest (or even kill - but this is usually if it is very serious) your character without permission, as that is its job.
We are set in a time where humans are not aware of the existance of werewolves so please do not have your character being 'all knowing' as it is against The Pack rules to let humans know of the werewolf existance.
These rules are subject to change at any time. Make sure you also read the rules under; The Pack. This is so you are aware of what they are allowed to do.
New rules will be in black. |
