Rule one - Be Nice I know it's hard to be nice, but you have to. It is important that you keep all out-of-character arguments out of character and all in-character grudges in character. If you need help figuring this out, message me and I'll flat out tell you what it means with a nice little story.
Rule two - content
sexual intercourse! Sex is allowed, considering it happens in real life. You don't have to mark your posts as mature or anything like that. Don't over do it.
Caution: Real life comes with real life problems. There's always that chance of the condom breaking or the guy saying he is wearing one when he isn't. This means you CAN get pregnant unless YOU do something about it. Unless you want the drama. Drama is fun.
language Bad words are alright. You may swear, just don't go over board... like "FUCK THE FUCKING FUCKERSSSS". No. That's just not right unless you don't know your real words. Just make it realistic.
Out of character, cursing is also allowed. Just don't spam the cbox with swears, don't spam anything on the threads with swears, because there's only one little button to ban you for good. Three strikes... your out.
Rule three - Fighting and Powerplaying for those of you who don't know what powerplaying is, I'll make it nice and simple.
DO NOT: If you decide what happens to another character, then that is automatically a warning. Such as actually doing the actions for someone Else's character. You wouldn't want someone basically playing YOUR character so don't do it to them.
DO THIS: When you explain your characters actions, ONLY explain theirs and what they are doing to the other character. All you can do is wait for the other people to write back to you.
Rule four - posting
posting length As with any Roleplay, there is a certain cutoff to experience. This forum is intermediate-advanced to advanced. If your under that, this place isn't for you.
The minimum post length is two solid paragraphs. a paragraph is seven or more sentences. If you need 'filler', discuss your character's mental stability/instability, feelings, etc etc. If you've roleplayed before, you know what to do.
Please post in size one font or size zero font. Not that there's a huge difference. It makes everything look better. Also, bold and Color color your character speaking. When the character is thinking, italicize and Color it. Fonts may be larger for headers. I don't care about the font face.
spelling & grammar Alright, first of all you shouldn't have perfect spelling. Only english majors should be able to do so. Though if you have firefox, you may know that it has a BUILT IN spell check. Below on the post's, there is also yet another possibility. A spell check button is below JUST FOR YOU.
Grammar, I know that no one likes it. I hate grammar, and I hate learning about it. I'm not saying you have to have perfect grammar, but I would like for you to know the difference between 'your' and 'you're', etc.
Use commas, semicolons, etc. They are your friends and help prevent runons. Runons are you worst enemy here. Please re-read everything you've written and make sure that your sentences aren't about three words.
Rule five - posting tense In this RPG, you must post in past tense. There is only one choice here and it's third person. When Someone starts using first, and another uses third it ends up being a bit more challenging to use.
No exceptions.
THIRD PERSON Rain slipped down a few steps covered with ice, her back hitting two or three steps on the way down.
FIRST PERSON I slipped down a few steps covered with ice, my back hitting two or three steps on the way down.
SECOND PERSON Not welcome :]
Second person will not be allowed because it gets confusing when your posting with someone who is using past tense and then when you are posting in present tense.
Rule six - advertising
The advertising board is guest friendly. Post in ours, we'll post in yours. Simple.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, ADVERTISE IN THE CBOX. Don't even provide a link in your name. It slows down the cbox and how it loads as well. I'll bite your face off if you do.
If you wish to Affiliate with us, please make sure to include our icon on your site. As well will put yours on ours. We want popularity just as much as you.

Rule seven - characters
One character to an account, please. combining characters on an account gets very confusing.
Sexuality Don't be afraid to experiment with sexualities. Your character doesn't have to be straight at all, as a matter of fact it could get a little boring if every character was straight. Your characters could be anything... homosexual, pansexual, etc.
Canon Characters There aren't any in this.
Rule eight - miscellaneous Characters can move away (meaning the person has decided to leave the roleplay) and with the permission of the person leaving, someone MAY take over the character.
Mental and Physical Disorders Disorders are nice. Don't make your characters perfect. Give them some problems, make it more interesting. Please EXPLAIN disorders.
Please make your account name your characters name.
Rule nine- ADVERTISE! Please, please, PLEASE advertise in other roleplays! We don't want this place to die, and I also have some other things to take care of through the day. I need people to do this for me. If you do this... I'll love you people forever and we will get along well.
