All right, so I think everyone here is mature enough to understand the basic concept of rules, yes? Follow them, and I won't have to kick you out. It's not rocket science.
[li]Be respectful! This is a no-brainer. We're here to RP and make friends, not flame and troll. If you make a habit of doing this, please GTFOand troll the Twilight forums instead. No one will think less of you for it.
[/li][li]We're going to be an open-minded forum. We will not discriminate, and therefore, will not accept racists and/or homophobes.Hypocrisy at its best.
[/li][li]Literacy! I demand it. You must not have proper grammar and spelling twenty-four seven, but at least write at the level someone who has English as their second language (like me). This applies to the OoC threads too.
[/li][li]I expect you to be able to take constructive criticism when it's given to you nicely. No one is trying to put you down. They're taking their own time to try to help you improve, because they think you're worth it. Keep that in mind before you start thinking that they're just being mean asshats.
[/li][li]Maturity, maturity! It ties in to a lot of what I've mentioned above, but I'm going to emphasize it here specifically because of the content of our forum. We're going to deal with prostitution, drugs, violence, and I expect everyone to be able to handle it.
[/li][li]There will be sex. Period. You have no obligation to participate in the more R-18 features of this forum, but be warned that those will be around. As for any threads that will, eventually, be created that deal with sex, I expect a (Mature: Sex) somewhere in the title. The same goes with violence. Just, you know, change the 'Sex' part to 'Violence' (I hope I'm just stating the obvious here).
[/li][li]Foul language is allowed and unavoidable, but you do not need to insert 'fuck' after every other word in your sentence.
[/li][li]Report members who violate these rules in the Report thread.
[/li][li]Have fun!
Roleplay
[/li][li]Be in character. I will not accept SUPAA-KAWAII NEKO Switzerlands. He is a trigger-happy freak and he will not hesitate to shoot you for violating his character in such a fashion.
[/li][li]When you're speaking Out of Character, please use brackets ( ) [ ] { }.
[/li][li]We're writing in paragraph style, not script. In other words, no: Japan: Speaking *action*
[/li][li]I would like to keep the posting average at about a paragraph per post. I know plenty of people who can write more, so if they can accomplish about a page in Microsoft Word, then you can shit out three to five sentences.(Tip: If you're really stuck for content, then just start describing everything around you, down to the smallest detail. Stephanie Meyer filled four books with this technique.)
[/li][li]Despite what I said above, writing like Meyer is not encouraged.
[/li][li]I'd like you to post at least once a week. If you cannot, please inform me in Absence and Leaving thread. If you wish to quit, please go to the same thread and I will open your character up for another person.
[/li][li]OCs are allowed, but only if I really like them. I'm expecting the quality of the Latin Hetalia OCs here.
[/li][li]No Mary Sues. Although this kinda ties in with the 'Be in character' rule. I know that some people argue that Seychelles is a Sue, but if you decide to RP her, then flesh her out and leave them with no arguments.
[/li][li]Yes, I'll be screening people. That means that after you're finished reading this, move your asses to the Registration thread and request your character. And include some lyrics to your favorite song while you're at it.
