general!
[/color][/size][/font]»Respect is the number one thing on this site. Respect the admins & each other.
»Please visit the character section for face claims. Once accepted you should post in each of these sections
»All the information on each ship, open positions & taken rooms can be found in the ship information section.
»In order to keep up with the site you have to post at least once a week. When I say this I mean post in the rp section every week. If you will be gone for more then a week at a time, post in the absence thread. If you do not post within a week, you will receive a warning pm. After two weeks you will be moved to the inactive/pending character group.
»When a character is moved to the inactive/pending character group they will remain there for one month. After that the application, all threads involving them & character spots will be moved to the graveyard. The account will be deleted as well.
»If you wish to return after being deleted, you’ll have a probation period of two months from acceptance before being allowed to take a canon. You will have to prove that you are willing to stay & be active.
»This site is rated all levels[beginner to advance] & mature which means it deals with mature themes & coarse language. We suggest that you be at least 13 if you join.
»We are very easy going with the application. We have a simple app with basic information needed, but if you have a different one you’d like to use you are more then welcome.
threads!
[/color][/size][/font]»The usual rules for rping applies here. Third person past tense. No Godmodding. No smilies or internet slang. Use proper grammar. Posts should be at least five sentences. Having trouble? Write the characters thoughts about a current or past event.
»Stay in character in the rp sections. If posting OOC use brackets.
»No god-modding. You can't just say that “David punched Louis and immediately say the blood begin to flow as his opponent fell over.” However, you can't just dodge all shots either. That makes you no fun to RP with. If you & the other player have something worked out then that is completely fine. But if we get complaints about you, you will get a 25% warning to your account as well as a message form the admin after three complaints.
»This is a mature website. In real life sex, drug usage, cursing & death happens. But respect proboards rules. “Skipping” is required for any intimate threads. Before anything really happens you skip to several minutes, hours or whatever later. ProBoards rules outline that you have to keep at PG13 which means no explicit descriptions.. Allude to things.
»No use of vial language(p*ssy, p*nis, f*ck, sh*t...). But we all know swearing happens. If you can't find it in Cantonese(I/AshleyP has several sites bookmarked) then use a asterisks* or dash- to block out a letter.

[/color][/size][/font]»There is no limit on the number of characters. But only have however many you can handle. If we staff think you aren’t keeping them all active we will ask you to give up one or more characters.
»Even if they are twins they have to have their own account. It makes it a lot more confusing for everyone if there are two characters for one account-so please, just do one character per account & make us all happy.
»If you want a post just between you and someone else, put your names in the topics. ie)Learning It All(JohnDoe/SarahJane) or Learning It All(tag: JohnDoe)
»If there is a thread just between say JohnDoe & SarahJane, you should be posting with your appropriate accounts. The only exception is group threads, as will be stated below.
»If you have more then one of your characters in a thread, you may post them all at the same time. Just separate them all either by having one bold, another plain and another italics; or you can use a line --------------------- like so between each character. This makes it easier on the player if they don't wish to keep switching between accounts.
»If there are four or more characters in a thread, you can only post twice before another character. So say JohnDoe posted but hasn't been on in a few days, SarahJane can only post twice until JohnDoe posts again. If anyone needs clarification please message an admin.
»When following the above rule, be sure not to have a full conversation with yourself. If you talked to one of your other characters, leave room for others to butt in as well.
»We don't want any Mary Sue's or Gary Stu's at this site. Everyone has weaknesses & faults no matter how attractive or rich. If I think that your character is acting like either of those, there will be a warning sent. If it keeps up, we will give youa warning message, ask you to take a Mary Sue test & possibly redo your character.
graphics&ooc!
[/color][/size][/font]»Signatures & avatars can be any size. For the avatars just be aware & careful when it comes to putting them. We have a special code to go above the 100x100 size. Simply do not put the dimensions in the according spots. The board will be tricked into thinking it is 65x65. If any graphics are too large, we will ask you to resize it. If you don’t we will resize, crop or remove it for you regardless of anything you say. Same goes with images in posts or applications
»In your character sheet, we have asked you for a code. The code is "BlueSun"
»Please credit everyone that you get images from. We don't want anyone at caution or any other graphic resource site coming over here saying that someone didn't credit them. You will get a 25% warning & your graphic removed if this happens.
»No fighting in the OOC boards whatsoever! If you have a problem with another member, take it to the PMs or off board. If it becomes a constant problem, contact an admin. An admin will contact the antagonizer & take care of it. The only time this is “acceptable” if it is a game that requires some viciousness.
»Check back every now & then in case the rule change.
