Yes, rules. Without them, the world would be a crazy place. Just get over it and read them.
GENERAL RULES
Stay Active . This is one of the most important rules. If you're going to join, promise me you'll stay active. I hate when people make accounts and then never do anything. Or all of a sudden you just stop coming on. It's really not that hard to get on and post every once in a while. Not to mention, this is supposed to be fun, and it can't be fun if no one is ever on.
Getting Accepted . You cannot post anything accept your bio thing before getting accepted. Please wait for someone to accept it, okay? I try to get on as much as I can, so it shouldn't be a long wait. If we think it is too short or not literate enough, I will decline it, but that doesn't mean you can't fix it! Just take our suggestions.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T . Please respect everyone and anyone on this site, especially the admins considering they worked really hard on this site. I mean really hard, okay? Do not attack someone for their viewpoints. Perhaps a debate would be okay, but no fights or anything. You can fight in character but none out of character, got it?
OOC . Keep your OOC and IC seperate when you're roleplaying. If you need to put something in OOC but it in the bottom of your posts in (these things) or something.
Display Names . Your display name MUST be your character's name; first and last. If you wish you can add characters or symbols, I don't care.
Plagerism . Everything posted on this site is immediately copyrighted to the person who posted it. Anything on this site STAYS on this site. If you take someone else's pictures or posts or whatever, it is considered plagerism, and it is illegal.
Advertising . Keep your advertising in the advertising board. DO NOT pm anyone asking if they will join your site, spam the c-box with advertisements, or have links in your signatures.
ROLEPLAYING AND CHARACTER RULES
One-Liners . I'd like to keep this site somewhat intermediate/advanced. Please try to post as much as you can when you're RPing. Explain what your character is thinking, their surroundings, what they look like, or what they're doing. Using all that, I'm sure you can produce a few paragraphs.
Character Age . If you read the rules, this is a teen cruise. So pretty much anyone in high school. I do not want to see anyone creating 11 year old or 35 year old characters, mmkay?
Spelling && Grammer . If you are not the greatest speller, use the spellcheck. It really doesn't take much time, and it will make your posts seem a whole lot more advanced. And use commas and periods. Put your dialouge in "___". It's the basics. You've been to school, right? Well use what they taught you.
Keep It Realistic . Drama is always fun. But do keep your drama and storylines realistic. If it could happen in reality than it can happen here.
Content . This site is rated PG-13. Which means mild romantic involvement and cussing is allowed. If you must post explicit content, please put [R] in the title of your post. Also, I'd rather no one get pregnant on this site, considering you are on a boat and there is no hospitals or such. If you have an idea, you may PM me, but other than that, keep babies out of the picture.
PB's . Everyone must have a signature or avatar representing your character, and it should preferably be of a celebrity. If you want to use yourself or a MySpace picture, PM me first to ask for permission. Signatures have no size limit as long as they don't stretch the board. Clothes of some sort must be on your character!
POV . We RP in third person. Meaning there are no I's, me's, or you's unless it is in dialogue. We also RP in past tense NOT present. Here are examples of what I mean if you don't understand:
NOT OKAY: I walked through the door and sat down. || Bob walks through the door and sits down. || You walk through the door and sit down.
OKAY: Bob walked through the door and sat down.
Other . No power-playing, god-modding, or chat speak. Char speak is allowed in OOC, but that is it.
WHAT TO DO FIRST
Read the plot, if you haven't already. Create your biography and wait for it to be accepted. AFTER it is accepted, claim your celebrity, create a sig and all that. PM me for a room. Create your plottage/relationship thing. I suggest posting on others too, and not waiting for people to post on yours. Start RPing!
