HAVE FUN

'Cause seriously. If you're not having fun, when why are you here?

NO DOUCHEBAG-GERY

Don't be a bitch. Be nice to people. Be respectful of the beliefs and lifestyles of others. I'm not going to give you all a lecture on tolerance because this is neither the time, nor the place, so let me just say that if you're going to be a bigot, this is not the place to spread your bigotry. We are a group of friends who like to have fun and exercise our writers' muscles. Disturb our awesomeness with negativity and you will be asked to leave.

WE ARE NOT A CLIQUE

So many people searching for sites complain of feeling "left out" if the site is too big. Guys, let's NOT be one of those sites. Let's welcome and RP and talk with new members no matter how big we get.

NO POWER PLAYING/GOD MODDING

It means when you take control of someone else's character or make your character so ridiculously powerful that no one else can ever get the upper hand. Don't do it, it will mark you as an amateur. If you must God Mode or Power Play for the sake of a thread, please ask the permission of the person with whom you are role playing.

CONSIDER YOUR SETTING

Remember that you are playing in a made-up world set roughly in some sort of medieval era, so no cell phones, television, electricity or other modern conveniences. However, there is a lot of wiggle room in our made-up world of Frythren, so I'm sure you'll find some creative substitute (hint: magic works well) to get what you want.

PLAY-BY CLAIM

Please only use real people for Play-By's (hereafter referred to as PB's). Exceptions should be sought through PMing this account (exceptions being if you are playing some sort of creature that doesn't look human or something). Don't worry about having to "claim" your PB after you finish your application--we will do that for you. If you end up changing your PB, please notify us. Once a PB has been claimed, no one can use them unless you leave the site or delete that character or change your PB. Identical twins and plots of that nature are the exception to this rule. Once your character is accepted and all that good stuff, we would like you to decorate your account with an avatar and signature (you can use just an avatar at first while you're waiting for the signature to be ready or while you're making it) depicting your character, using your character's PB.

APPLICATIONS

Unless otherwise stated, your application must be accepted before you can begin to RP, unless otherwise stated. If we give you a list of changes that we want you to fix before you can RP, please know that it's nothing personal and we only want your character to fit into the site and we want to level the playing field for everyone (in other words, we're trying to keep out the Mary-Sues). Please notify us (by PMing this account) if you wish to make changes to your application. The application form may be found by clicking "New Thread" in the appropriate board.

CHARACTERS

You can have as many as you can keep active. Please post when you can. If you're gone for longer than a month without leaving a note of absence, we will (probably) delete your account, but there are no hard feelings and you're welcome back at any time.

POSTING LENGTH

Here's the thing: we don't really care. We are a quality-over-quantity site, so how many words you post is your business. RP etiquette says you should try to post as much as the person you're RPing with, but really, that's between you guys. Please stay away from one- and two-liners. They make you look lazy and us look bad.

ENGLISH IS YOUR BFF

So show it some respect! Use proper grammar and spelling and use spell check! As for you dyslexic people, let me let you in on a little secret: I'm dyslexic and it irks me to no end when people use "sorry no one can read this, it's because I'm dyslexic" as an excuse to be lazy with their writing. Yes, you're dyslexic, believe me, I get it. Mistakes liek tihs happen all the time, but you are as responsible as anyone else for making sure your writing is understandable. Use spell check and read over what you've written before posting it! Don't let dyslexia be an excuse--let it be your story instead!

SITE RATING

We are a mature PG-13 site. So profanity, violence and subjects of a questionable and controversial nature are all fair game. For some reason, Proboards has an issue with sex, so if things heat up between your characters and they're about to do the nasty, PM this account before their shed their clothes and we'll deal with it so it's all off-site. By the way, you're not allowed to join if you're under thirteen. Sorry kids, Proboards rules, not ours. Also, don't join if you're a penguin. Just kidding, you can join if you're a penguin.

These rules may be edited at any time.
