General
; Be kind to all the members of the board. Yes, you may hate some of them or dislike them in any way, but they all still are human. We all are. Also, don't try to put anyone down in any possible way- even the littlest signs of it are visible through our eyes! Be understanding, and sesitive towards people here. This is a friendly site for all, and fights should be taken elsewhere
; Don't steal or claim stuff that aren't yours. This goes for signatures, avatars, art and such. We strongly suggest you put a copyright on your stuff before showing them off to the members. But we trust that no one here is a thief, so don't make us lose that trust in you guys. Even stealing on the internet can give you a bad credit in the roleplaying world- we have a lot of different online friends from other sites, and we are always glad to warn them about thieves.
; If ever you would want to use a photo of your character, please note that ONLY[/u] celebrities are allowed here. This means, no stealing pictures from cute people on MySpace, no using of your pretty cousin's photo (for all you know, there could be some creepy old guy checking it out), and aything of the likes. Before you decide on your celebrity, though, check out the Claimed Celebrities List to see if he/she is taken already. If he/she isn't, then you're free to use him/her! And once your bio will be accepted, your chose celebrity will be added to the list. You do can use a model though, just not someone from Myspace, or DeviantArt.

Here are some points to be considered before joining.
Time:
;When you join the site, you must take into notice the time you will be putting into the site. I don't want members who just come and go, without posting or posting for a few days and then leaving without a trace. If you decide to leave, please tell us. There is a board for you to post in if you decide to leave for either forever or for a short period of time.
RP Level and Rating:
;This RP is free for all levels, meaning you have no limit to how many sentences or paragraphs in each of your posts (In Character, that is). But you must try hard in posting IC, as well. Absolutely no one liners.
;The RP is rated PG 13 with a pinch of R. There will be 'adult' rated posts, which I trust will be marked with an 'M' or anything to warn other members.
Characters:
;You are allowed only ONE character per account. You must keep that character active until you can ask for another one.
; When registering, register with your character's nickname/first name, then make your display name your character's first and last name. Or if it fits well, your character's nick name and last name. Any sort of 'accessories' would be fine, as long as your name would be readable.
; Claiming a celbrity for your character is a first come, first serve deal. The first one who claims the celbrity (with his or her profile done) will get the celebrity.
; Do not claim before you are yet to be accepted, however.
; Cannon characters are characters who are included in the General Plot, a plot that all cannon characters work on and post in. This plot will be changed after the previous General Plot post is done with.
; When making your Character Profile, be creative about it. Not everyone is perfect. Add some faults, some flaws, some drama to your character. The more drama, the more interesting your character gets.
; For every girl character you make, the next character you should make is a boy. This would disregard those whose first characters are already males, however, since we do need testosterone in the site.
Posting:
;As I said before, no one liners.
;Definately NO CHATSPEAK. It trashes the post and makes the forum seem trashy.
; When posting, be sure to type in correct grammar, spelling and, punctuation. We understand if you're not too good of a roleplayer, but that doesn't give you a reason not to run through a spelling/grammar check. You can do that in Microsoft Word, you know, so it's advisable if you type up your posts there first. But we'd always be happy to edit anything that you're not sure about, but don't make us do all the work! Have some respect, too.
the rules phrase is dontlabelme
; You must post in third person view (YOU narrating what your character is doing as if he/she is in a story), and in the past tense.
; You are allowed to bump your topic. For those who aren't quite sure what this is, it is simply replying to your own post with a 'bump' just to keep it from getting old, and to show people that you're gladly welcoming anyone in it. But bumping your topic continuously is not right, though. Once you bump your topic once, be sure not to do it until it grows inactive for a long period of time again. You can't just keep on bumping every hour when you don't see anyone replying to you. It often takes time for people to type up posts and consider your topic.
; We do not allow spam. You know, posting useless, unnecessary crap like, "LOL!" or "Whatever..." or anything like that just to get the last word, or simply just for the purpose of answering back. Not everything needs a reply, too, okay? This rule applies both to OOC (Out of Character) and IC (In Character).
; No double posting. The modify button is your friend! Please, use the modify button instead of double posting just to make your post count look impressive.
; When roleplaying with 3 or more people, please take time to let each other reply. This is a common mistake done far too many times, as I see in some boards. Let's say it goes like this (for those who can't understand): when person A posts, then person B posts, then person C posts then you guys have to wait for person A's post, then person B's, and then so on. It's easy to follow.
