1. Please be on here. Don't sign up, take a character, and then don't come on, because you're denying someone else that part. ((Now if you're on a trip or something, please inform Austria or me, the admins, and it'll be fine)). If you're not on, don't post, or only post in OOC, you will be banned.
2. Act in character. If you don't, you will be warned you're being out of character, and if you continue you will be banned.
3. Yes you can make relationships~ Only if the other person is up for it though. Don't push someone into it (I was in that situation once, and it wasn't fun anymore past that)
4. Notice how I'm writing in complete, grammatical sentences? I expect you all to do the same. If u txt tlk n keep doing this, ul be bannd, omg ok?
Going along with that, extreme usage of exclamation marks gives me a headache. I'm just saying. And please, if you tend to make a lot of typos (Like me, and I'm working on it, too, so I'm not picking on people), maybe look over your reply before you post it. And there's also a modify button. It's there for a reason, please use it to your full advantage ^^
5. Please write like it's a story. Not like...
America: *Bursts in the room with his mouth full* GYFF! I HAFF WOMTING TO TELL UU!
More like...
America slammed the door open, his mouth stuff with a hamburger. As he spoke, hamburger pieces flung from his mouth and onto England's face, "GYFF! I HAFF WOMTING TO TELL UU!"
Better right?
Please only text talk or use asterisks (IE *Walks in*) when you're out of character on the OOC board, or in regular RP ((When you talk in the brackets like this)).
6. Human names are fine to use.
7. Be kind and courteous to one another. If I have a complaint, you will be warned, and if it continues, you will be banned.
8. To complain please PM me, and tell me what board you were on and what page it was so I can make sure, and if I agree, I will send the person a note. Now, if Prussia is being mean to Germany, that's not the same. I'm saying if the person directly offended you, not your character.
Just making sure.
9. When you choose a character, please stick with that character as long as you can. I would like you to RP them for at least a month before changing. If you really really want to change, talk to me, but a month isn't really that long in RP time. I just can't have everyone changing all the time.
10. If you're Germany, and want to say something in German, please provide translation. Goes for all countries.
11. If you want to start an RP somewhere, and someone is already RPing there... Don't. That's their RP, and they may want to go to bed or go do something else and return to it. Please wait at least three days after the last post to start a new RP. Or ask if you can join the RP.
12. Going along with 12, you may join another person's RP, but PLEASE be mindful of what they're RPing about. If it's an angsty/angry whatever RP either don't join, or ask them if you can. If they're just talking or the RP is getting boring to them, join. Just be mindful of what they're doing.
13. If in the RP you want to speak about another character, please make the story about that character IN CHARACTER. Don't be telling stories about England dancing around in a tootoo. I'm sure our England wouldn't be too happy about that. (If he did that in the RP then yes, feel free to tell it)
14. Respect other people's wishes. If they're character A, and you're character B, and you like AxB, and they don't... Don't make them role play it. If they're fine with it, then yes, go on. But if they don't, don't keep pushing them.
This goes for a few other things as well, outside of RPs. Like religion and race. I don't want any tension on the site, please, so just don't talk about it, and no one will get offended. (I suspect this won't be a problem, but just to make sure)
15. You can double up as other characters/OCs, but only ones that aren't taken. Currently I double as Korea, Switzerland, Iceland, and Turkey. Feel free to be ANY character that is not crossed off the list. I even RP my own character Eli.
16. THOU SHALT NOT BE ANNOYING AND PISS OFF THE ALMIGHTY ADMIN (or really, anyone for that matter). IF YOU DO SO, THOU SHALT BE SENTENCED TO DECAPATATION: FOR THOU WHO COMMITS SUCH AN ACT, DESERVES SUCH A PUNISHMENT.
Decapatation = Banishment
I'll be leanient of this rule, but if people message me about someone being annoying, or if I message them and they agree, I will ban you. I will consult all the admins, and a few members as well (they will be chosen at random, I promise), and if we all agree you're annoying, you will be banned.
Because, annoying people just add stress to my life. And I don't need anymore stress than the stress I have right now. This place is my own, and everyone else's, sanctuary to come and relax, and we can't do that if we have you on here being annoying all the time!
That being said, annoying is: Random, unneeded, stupid comments such as "I like pie" randomly placed, and DISRUPTING, someone else's conversation. If I see this on the OOC board, I will delete that post. Because we're not in elementary school anymore, come now. Things of that nature. This goes back to Rule 14 as well.
See how that's the longest rule? Annoying people annoy me. Don't be annoying, and you're cool with me.
You'll be able to tell if I find you annoying. There actually is kind of forwarning, I lied to you in the CAPS. You just need to sense it. It's on you if you catch it or not.
2. Act in character. If you don't, you will be warned you're being out of character, and if you continue you will be banned.
