Rules (Yes I know, no one likes these; humour us):
۞Basically, we are God, your Lords and Masters. We have the final word on major plot decisions, etc. But here's the deal – don’t do anything stupid enough to make us have to get on your case, and we promise not to take advantage of our self-ordained power. And we're fairly lenient as far as what's consider lecture-worthy. For most offenses, it’s the three strike rule.
۞No cybering. Once the clothes start coming off, you’re done. Don’t care what you do outside of this thread. As long as neither of us have to see it or read about it, go wild. But if you’re sloppy enough that it reaches our attention, you will be booted. And really, you’d have to be sloppy to the point of intentionally throwing it in front of us for that to be the case.
۞Keep the language PG-16. Hopefully we’re all adult enough to be able to tolerate a few swears. But please – for the love of all that’s good – keep it classy. Don’t drop the f-bomb every other word, and try to keep it appropriate to the scene.
۞Every now and then, we’ll do a random sweep to clear up any dead-beats and to make sure everyone’s still participating. We’ll give a week’s notice to everyone with private messages to those who are less-than-active. Obviously if you have a legit reason we’ll keep you on, but please don’t just make up excuses and string the other roleplayers and myself along if you have no intention on posting. It’s not fair to the people who are relying on you.
۞Please try to post at least three times a week, in order to keep the roleplay going at a reasonable pace. And by post, we mean 2-4 paragraphs. Obviously we all experience writers block from time to time. But please don’t take advantage of this leniency. If we notice you’re not posting, or if you’re partner isn’t responding in a timely manner let us know, and one of us will start sending out inquiries.
۞If you and another character get together, a character has a crush, or you two break up, please send xXPetrichorXx or Str8Huggin a PM so we can update stuff. And if you decide to make a character pregnant, I retain the right of approving or denying that pregnancy (I'm God, remember?) if I think you're doing it to be spiteful to another roleplayer.
۞For now, we're keeping the limit at 8 students of each gender, but obviously if enough people are wanting to join we can increase the amount. Each author is allowed up to two characters, but for now we're gonna put the restriction of one of each gender. No one likes it when there are upteen girls and only one boy (well, except the boy, I suppose) Also, we're only allowing characters in grade 12 (age 17-18.), for reasons to be explained later
۞Please make your posts ‘pretty’ – doesn’t have to get all fancy (although feel as free as you like to go apeshit with this) but please include a clear picture (no anime, please) and your character’s name with every post. And by clear photo, I mean: no blurry myspace-esque shots, no masks or makeup that obstructs basic features, that sort of thing. Also, I hope I don’t have to point this out, but please make sure the person you use is age appropriate. As sexy as Helena Bonham Carter or David Tennant is, don’t try to pass them off as sixteen year olds, cause no one is gonna buy that. Now, if you find a picture of an older person someone at that age, feel free. Deal?
۞Please send xXPetrichorXx or Str8Hugginthe below profile filled in with your information, with the subject being your favorite love quote/lyrics/limerick/whatever.
۞ Ladies and gentlemen, there is a reason this is called a ‘group’ roleplay. I understand that your character(s) can’t be 100% involved with everyone all of the time. I don’t expect you to all be social butterflies. But I don’t want to see little pairs of people never branching out and talking to someone else every now and then. This is high school, and even if you only have one or two friends you obviously interact with several other people a day. Please try to reflect this.
۞I cannot stress enough that when I say ‘2-4 paragraphs a post’, I mean good proper paragraphs like I know your teachers taught you. At least four sentences per paragraph. I don’t want to see any shoddy 1-2 sentence responses. Even at your worst writer’s block, I know you are capable of pulling three or four decent lines of text out of your butts. They don’t have to be amazing – just do it. No one likes to log on to find a half-assed response, do they? Don’t be that person. Please don’t make me have to hunt you down and talk to you about this – I hate being the mean guy.
