Please read and review these rules before posting and/or signing up. There will be consequences to any break to the rules.
1. Absolutely no out of character harassment. By that I mean if you aren't in character in a RP thread and started to harass another player in real life on here you will be banned. I won't tolerate it.
2. You may not control another person's character without permission.
3. When fighting another character you cannot decided what bodily injuries or even death may effect their character. I.e. let them decide the outcome for their character.
4. If you are role playing as a canon character ( preexisting character ) Don't post in more than 1 area at a time. This will make it more interesting for original characters because they will have odds of running into different canon characters. It also can keep different threads alive.
5. If you have a gun remember how much ammunition that it holds and remember you will need to buy more or fetch more to reload. Ammunition won't be infinite.
6. Melee weapons such as sticks, bats, or other natural elements not metal will break after awhile so try to make the damagtes that effect them realistic.
7. You can kill off your character if you so choose. However, you must notify the staff in which case we will decide together how and when to end your character to add to the plot. Once your character is dead you can enter in a new character application for a different character if you choose to. Your old character will not be deleted, instead we will send their profiles to the "BON TEMP DAILY" Section where their profile will be listed in the obituaries section.
8. Along with forum news I will be posting random articles inside of Bon Temps Daily, a newspaper I created to make it feel more like you're in the town. If you don't read it every week you might miss some interesting things. Sometimes a "Bon Temp Daily Special" will be issued in which an interesting event is taking place.
9. Stalking – Stalking is defined as a character role playing with another person in an unwanted fashion. It is asked that all members be courteous to other members and not intrude on their stories. If you must use the current thread that the other player is using, please message them and settle this in a mature manner.
10. No more than 1 character per profile. So if you want another character you must create another profile.
11. Mature content, language or Sex please notify people with a {R} in the title of the thread.
12. So the Rp doesn't stall, people who have not posted in 3 days are allowed to be posted over {meaning you don't have to wait for them to post before you do}
13. Your screen name must be your character's name. Whether it's their Nick name (which you include into the application), First name only, Last name only, or Both.
14. Once you start an app you have 1 week to finish it. If it's not finished in 1 week from the day you first post IT will be deleted. No exceptions.
15. Your signature CANNOT be any bigger than 400x350.
16. No god modding. By that I mean even vampires and the like can get hurt by something or the other so don't try to RP that you can never be touched.
17. On the canon character list, characters with ~ ~ on either side of their name will be used by admin/mods for the game. People may ask to apply for them but until the application is set up these characters will be used to keep up game play. To view list go to Character Applications and view the Canon Character List.
If you break any of these offenses more than three times you will be deleted, banned, and replaced.
