Alright, alright, I know we ALL hate rules, but for order, we must have them. If we didn't... well, it just wouldn't be good. I'm gonna tell you now, be on the look out for the bold and underlined words. I'll tell you why later on.

General
-No sexest/raciest comments to anyone OOC!!
-No harassing other members!
-No argueing with anyone AT ALL OOC! This means Admins, GMs, other members, etc.
-I'm only going to say this once, ABSOLUTELY NO argueing with the Admins! If you have something to say you can do it in a calm, rational manner! Besides, I think that the staff know this site just a little bit better than you do.
-Keep cursing to a minimum. There are no cencored words, but keep in mind: This is a privilege, not a right.
-No power playing/godmodeling. This means you are not inviciable and you do not get a say in what happens to someone elses character... or what they do! I know that in human RPGs this is tough and sometimes you have to to make it interesting, but keep it to a minimum.
-Also, I don't want any "perfect" characters. Everyone has their flaws.

Joining
- Once you have joined, post your stats following the forum in the "Applications" board.
-When doing your joining post, type the following part of the phrase: "Save Me"
-The password to the joining board is the special letters mentioned at the top of the page.
-For all you smart cookies out there who tried to skip everything under this board and go straight to posting stats, but couldn't get on, this is for you: If you read everything, trust me, you'll be there in no time.

Activeness
-I'm only going to say this once, ONCE YOU JOIN, STAY ACTIVE!!!
-I'm only going to tell you this once too. It may seem totally cruel, but all the admins who have to deal with inactive characters know how annoying it is will understand. So, here it is: If you not not plan to stay active, then stop readng this right now and get your ass off my site! I don't mean to be mean about it, but this is very irritating.
-Forum staff members must be on AT LEAST 3 times a week! You have your position to help me run this site, so you better be here to do it!!! Of course, I am fair, and do make acceptions for school... I know how stressful the week can be.
-Another thing is this: whenever an activity check is sent to you, respond to it or bye bye you'll go, even if you were on the day before I close it and I saw you on. Tough luck, I warned you.
-The only way that you can avoid getting kicked off is if you post under the "Away Notice" board that you are quieting or are going away. Just remember to follow the forum!

Posting
-Okay, come on guys, this is an intermediate to advanced RPG. That means that the length of your post must AT LEAST be a paragraph, which is considered to be 5 sentences. Have a problem with this? Tough cookies!
-Whatever you do to signify speech, thought, etc. is up to you. I have my way, and you have yours.
-You can tag someone when posting. For example: If you want to RP with Max, then just put a little thing in the title that says his name (i.e. *Max*). Get it? Or, you can just leave it open by putting "open" or just leaving it blank.
-If you do get tagged, you have no choice but to respond. I don't see this as a hard request. But, if you are getting tagged continuously, then let me know. I know what it's like to get involved in too many posts at one time.
-Also, the font is set at "1" on this site, so you might not want to "super" or "sub" script your posts.

Characters
-Only one person may be a certain celebrity. It's unlikely your going to come across two people who look like JoJo. Only twin characters are an exception.
-As far as names go, you may only have one person with a certain name. They can sound the same, but they may NOT be spelled the same.
-All characters that attend the school must be between the ages of 14 and 18, but faculty and townies can be any age. This school is ment to be a replacement of high school.
-Limit to 3 characters per account.
-Sex can happen, but if you plan to type it all out you MUST warn us first if you get discriptive. But be realistic people, if there is someone around, it ain't gonna happen. Also, if you're going to get graphic with it, warn us first. A simple [R] will do just fine.
-You decide if your character becomes pregnant, but the other person MUST argee.

Pictures
-Pitures are for your characters ONLY!
-The pictures MUST be within the orginal screen! I suggest making the width a maximum of 500.
-No porno pics!!! A DEFINATE no, no!
-If I ask you to remove/change your picture due to one of the things above, do not try to change my mind!

Strikes System
-This is all kind of like Baseball. (a.k.a. Three strikes and your out.)
-Strike 1: The first time you fail to follow the rules will cause in a warning sent by me or another staff member.
-Strike 2: The second time will call for a week's suspension of the site.
-Strike 3: The third time and you're out of here for good! You will be banned from the site permantly and your name and E-mail will be posted in the staff board to make sure of this. Don't believe it... try me.
-Only exception: Doing something totally uncalled for in OOC! That will result in permanet banment, no questions asked.


Alright guys, I know it's strict, but that's the rules. I will change them from time to time, so keep on the look-out. Also, I don't mean for them to sound mean... I was in a bad mood when I wrote them. And I promise, I don't bite... usually.
