The Rulebook
Hello dear. The title says it all. YES you do need to read them. I realize it is a boring business, but it’s for the best honest xP Make sure to understand everything and NOT break any rules or the admins will be forced to take action.
REPORTING FOR DUTY registering with the site - Proboards are strictly 13+, therefore, we will not accept anyone below that age.
- If you create an account, you are committing yourself to fill in a profile. Lurkers are not permitted. It makes us sad t have to delete dead accounts at the end of each month.
- A character application must be posted within 2 weeks of joining the board, otherwise the account will be deleted. If you require an exception to this rule, please speak to an admin.
- Once a profile has been submitted and approved activity is very important. Minimum activity for us is at least 1 post on one of your characters a week. Accounts that have not posted for 2 weeks will receive an activity notice tht they have another 2 weeks to pick up activity or face deletion.
- If you need to leave for a 4 days or more, post in the appropriate category or inform a staff member. We have provided a forum in the OOC boards for hellos and goodbyes.
- This is a one account per character site. When you sign up, please get as close to the character's name as possible. We understand that you may not be able to get the register name exactly, but please change the display name ASAP. All names should be capitalized and we prefer if the full name of the character is displayed. While you can spice the name up with special character (!, ", etc.), please do not use strange characters to replace letters.
WHEN YOU SEE MY FACE hope it gives you hell
Applying- The application needs to be filled out with care. We have taken a long time to put BOTH of them together, so please do not change them. Please also be sure that you are using the correct form as we have ones for humans and their NPC pokemon as well as one for Pokemon that are used as a character.
- If you do not use the provided code the application will NOT be reviewed. However, you will be reminded to go over it and fix as necessary.
- Once the application has been submitted, please DON’T send messages to the admins about acceptance. Like you, we have real life to attend to so be patient and wait at least 48 hrs before catching an admin’s attention. PLEASE be polite in doing so. PMs, as opposed to personal Emails, are preferred.
- You have a limit of 10 days to modify your application to meet the character requirements of the admins. If you do not meet the requirements your application will be DENIED. Feel free to reapply.
Character- Gary Stues and Mary Sues. No one likes them and if you don't know what they are Google them.
- No one is perfect, therefore perfect characters are not allowed. Your character may have good qualities, but that doesn't mean they never make mistakes. Make sure there's that something that sets your character apart from the rest.
- Pregnancies (human), suicides and deaths happen. Nonetheless, members are expected to PM an admin before carrying out any of the mentioned above. Please be mature out these types of things and remember that you must gain permission of an admin first.
- Face Claims... please be original. While you can use an original character for your face (which we HIGHLY encourage), please check the face claims to see if yours is taken. Anime style ONLY.
- While we all love them, you are NOT allowed t start with shiny Pokemon. Shiny Pokemon can only occur in on site breedings or in a wild Pokemon encounter.
- When you make a new character who has Pokemon, you must choose from out list of starters. Don't worry, we've expanded from the traditional 3 starters per generation, so you're likely to find something you like. Our list of starters can be found in the Handbook.
AND HERE'S YOUR LIES you can look me in the eyes
Roleplaying- After being accepted change your display name to your character's name, if you haven't already. You will also be sorted into your group at this time.
- All levels of experience are accepted. While we have no word count, we ask that you strive to write at least one good paragraph in each post. The reason we ask this is so that your RP partner has something to reply to. Sadly, we will not tolerate one liners.
- Please do not write in blinding colors. We do allow posting tables here, but please do not make them wider than 500 pixels in width. Please do not post white text on black backgrounds. In other words, keep it readable.
- Always reply in third person, keep in mind you're not writing your own diary. And NO slang language such as IM chat words or acronyms. "Wolfspeak" and other things along those lines are not tolerated. Feel fee to be fancy and metaphorical though.
- We suggest that when you're character is speaking use quotation marks (" "), and for thoughts use Italic. You may style this further if you wish.
- Godmodding and Power Play are both FORBIDDEN
- OOCs should be AVOIDED in roleplay. We have provided you with a Member Lounge and a chatbox to talk in, so please do these types of things there.
- Creativity and originality are encouraged, especially when it comes to coding which makes posts look more attractive.
Rating- This board is strictly rated PG 13, for the benefit of our younger members. As mentioned before, please seek an admin's permission for some of the more adult tendencies before roleplaying them out.
- Mature content is FORBIDDEN. Violence, drug-use and cursing should be kept at a minimum.
ANOTHER PALE MOON shines like high noon
Anything else- You are allowed to have as many characters [both human and Pokemon] as you like, as long as you keep the whole lot active.
- Always respect the staff and other members. This includes in the chatbox.
- If you're having a bad day, my advice is to keep clear off the board. We don't want or need unnecessary fights. This is a place to have fun.
- Please refrain from discussing Religion, Politics and Sexual Orientation on the board. We understand and acknowledge that everyone is entitled to their opinion, however, sometimes silence is golden.
- We would also appreciate if you don't spend your whole time on the IC and OOC c-boxes, keep in mind that you are here to roleplay and it's not nice to keep others waiting for a long time.
- Avatars MUST be 150 pixels wide by 400 pixels tall. Signatures may not exceed 500 pixels in width and 400 pixels in height.
AND YOU CAN TAKE BACK memories they're no good to me
We will be watching you, so do not break any of the above rules. Just like in baseball you have 3 strikes before you're out... or as i like to call it banned and deleted. Behave yourselves and most important of all, have fun :]
Your loving admin, Riley
