Rules:
- This is mainly a cbox-based RP, so there's no need to keep up with board threads unless you want to.
- Be helpful to new comers. Obviously not everyone has the patience for this, but we expect our RPers to give newcomers answers to their questions if a staff member is not around.
- Follow the basic rules of thumb of the Proboards. While most people have not read through the rules first hand, we would ask that players use common sense.
- Keep your avatar and signatures images appropriate. We aim to be tasteful here, and we would appreciate it if you did not put anything with extreme violence and nudity up. This means: No female or male genitalia, vulgar or racist paraphernalia etc.
RolePlaying
- No God-modding. The Admins and other staff members reserve the right to delete or ask for editing on any posts where it appears this is happening.
- No killing another person's character.
- Grammar is your friend! Please, put some effort into your grammar and spelling. Ellipsis are not to be overused; no one wants to see a post full of "...". This is meant to be a literate RP experience. Keep that in mind, please.
- Stick to one character unless you've been approved by staff.
-A gender-bend is allowed if it takes the place of the regular gendered character. So only one gender of a character is allowed.
- Please do your best to remain in-character. Don't take someone you have no confidence in being able to write. It isn't expected that you know the character to the point of what brand of underwear they buy, but please, at least have a grasp on them.
- You are welcome to send your character wherever your please (I.E: Germany starts a thread with Russia, the Bad Touch Trio be....the BTT, etc.) but please, try not to join too many topics at once. If you are going to join more than one thread, please try to keep the timeline smooth -- no jumping around through time.
- Romance is allowed, of course, but pairings must be submitted and approved via the pairing thread. This is to avoid fights or shipping wars. If any pairing seems to conflict or another personal matter(s) come up, take it amongst yourselves and don't drag the whole forum into your petty squabbling. If it does spill into the forum, the staff will be forced to break up your petty drama lama.
'Verse Specific Rules
- I realize that this is a gang related RP and, as such, there will be a lot of reference to drugs and illegal activity. But please keep it tamed and keep the references to drugs to a minimum or use unusual slang terms. Proboards has this thing about drugs and we'll get kicked out.
- You can be in any gang you want, but not everyone can be a gang leader. It's first come first serve and after a certain number of gangs formed new ones will only be allowed upon mod approval.
- Please do a little research into modern street gangs if you're going to form one. You're going to have to have a name, a tag, a color, and if you want a sign. Pictures are optional.
Chatango rules:
- We know its fun to curse and 'CAPSLOCK' in the Cbox, but its rude to the more timid newcomers and the people who want to do semi-serious RPs in the Cbox. Translation: if it annoys the crap out of you, don't do unto others.
-Please stay in your appropriate Chantango account whilst on the forum. That means Italy stays in Italy's RP account, and Italy can't get onto his/her Norway account.
-Please be polite and courteous to your fellow RPers, and respect them while on the forum and the Cbox in general.
-If your Cbox RP is getting to inappropriate for the younger RPers, you will be asked to move it elsewhere, as mentioned above.
-If someone's behavior is making you feel uncomfortable, please tell them. if the behavior persists, tell a staff member.
Applications:
-As this is a mainly cbox site, your app does not have to be very long or very detailed. It's mainly just to make sure you know what you're doing and so we know who's who.
-Your RP sample can be from any site, any character as long as you wrote it. It's just to check grammar and spelling skills and the literary flow of your writing.
-We are accepting OCs, including states and other countries, but not cities. And only then, states will only become available when a certain amount of countries are taken. We also ask that those who apply for OCs work a little extra harder and put in time and thought to their characters.
- As mentioned before, absolutely no chat speak. This is a literate RPG.
- Use a character's human name. There really is no point in using the country names, considering this is a human AU RP.... If your character does not have a name, make one up.
- Do not post in any of the boards (outside of the application board, of course) before being excepted.
- Just because your applying does not mean you will be accepted.
