baby, the rules
[/size][/center]
GENERAL RULES
001. Respect everybody. The admins and the members of the forum. What the admins and staff say goes, so listen to them. They're the ones who got this site going anyway.
002. Please do not steal the site graphics, plot ideas and everything else. They are all copyrighted to Masquerade Party. We will hunt you down if we find out.
003. After registering, go to your profile > modify. There, you can change your display name to your desired character's name. Please have your character's first and last name. You may include your character's middle name but please, make it a decent one. Nothing like 'Applebite' or something. It just won't make sense.
004. Also, you can have your character's name in proper alphabetization (Jamellia Johnson) or all in lowercase (jamellia johnson). Do not have your name in fully uppercase letters, please. I will change it if so. And, jAMeLLia joHNsON will NOT do. Come one people, it's tacky.
CHARACTER
001. There is no limit to the number of characters one can play. But remember, create a brand new account for each character.
002. Also, to keep the ratio of male and female characters equal, for every two characters characters you make, the third one must be a character of the opposite sex. So altogether if you have three characters, one must be of a different sex.
003. Your character has to be portrayed by a person. A real person. By a real person, I mean a celebrity. No myspace/deviantart/facebook images. That's invasion of privacy if you use their pictures. Also, try not to use scene queens too much. Not a fan. You may use models.
004. No two characters may share the same play by. Unless the characters are twins. Other than that, no. You don't to be rping with someone with the same face as you, right? There are so many other celebrities and/or models out there.
005. No godmodding. Each character should realistically have some weaknesses and quirks about them. Nobody's perfect. Even if you are god sent. No actually, even god makes mistakes. You get what I'm saying.
APPLICATION
001. You have five days from the day you registered to complete your application. Beyond that time period, your application will be moved to the archived folders. This is to keep the boards tidy and not cluttered.
002. Fill out everything in the application. It's not that hard really. Detail, that's what we look for. Quality of writing and not quantity of words. the key word: 'fuck this, it's a masquerade party.'
003. You may post incomplete applications but do remember to insert a '[nd]' or 'incomplete' in the title so we know.
004. Once you are done with your application, it will be looked over by an admin. Give them time. Maximum two days? We have our own lives to run as well so don't expect us to be sitting in front of the screen the entire day just waiting to accept finished applications. Also, do not PM us asking us to accept your or whatever. It's bloody annoying.
OUT OF CHARACTER
001. Remember, you are not your characters. You lead different lives as they do on the site. If your characters hates someone else's character, you do not hate that someone. Leave your personal problems out of here. Come on, be mature.
002. Don't get offended if a character doesn't like yours. They hold nothing against you, I can guarantee.
RATING & LEVEL
001. The rating on this site R. Generally meaning, if you don't have the maturity in you, don't register. Really. I'm speaking honestly here. But, rated R does not mean all you post about is sex and violence or something. No. Once again, think maturely
002. We are an intermediate - advanced site. So we expect at least two or three paragraphs from you each time. I understand that you might just suffer from writer's block at times but that doesn't happen everytime does it?
GRAPHICS
001. Your signature cannot be over the size 500x200. This is the page won't stretch tremendously every time someone tries to load it.
002. Your graphics cannot contain any inappropriate material like porn etc. You will banned without a warning if so. Don't say you didn't know.
003 If you have requested a graphic from a member, remember to credit them fully. Taking work that if not yours and crediting yourself is plagiarism and it's against a law, did you know that?
THE CHAT BOX
001. Talk to us! It's a ruleTHAT'S ABOUT IT! HAVE FUN BITCHES <3
