The Rules of the Site

RESPECT all members on the site. If you fail to do so, you will be warned 3 times and the removed.
APPROVING CHARACTER No player may start playing without an approved character. Such posts will be deleted or closed by administation / moderators.
NO CANON CHARACTERS There are to be NO Drizz Do'Urden, Sturm Brightblade, Burrfoot Tasselhoff, Kitiara and Raistlin Majere. If you have one of those names, you will be asked to change it. Arguing and persuasion will just get you no where.
NO CANON CHARACTER RELATIONS You are not allowed to have the last names of characters from the books, unless, of course, it is something simple like Black. However, if you are to use this particular name, you are NOT allowed to be related to a character from the book. Unless Admin gives you the green light.
YOU MUST HAVE A REAL NAME. By saying this, I mean that you cannot have "hplover4eva" (or similar) displayed as your name . Instead, you must have the name (first and last) of your character. A good example is, Jennifer Banner or Brian Wallace. You have a brain, use it. If you need help thinking of a name, ask me or another member. We are all creative and enjoy helping others.
ROLE PLAYING is to be done in third-person point-of-view and in past tense. If you fail to follow this rule, you will have a warning. Also, you should try to use proper grammar, punctuation, spelling, et cetera. Learning takes time and we understanding. If you are in dought, ask a Moderator or DragonMaster.
THERE IS TO BE NO USE OF VULGAR LANGUAGE OR SEXUAL REFERENCES! I don't care if you like it or not, no one cares if Bobby Joe and Mary Sue want to start a family; you are not allowed to have sexual references or threads on this site. You are allowed to use profanity, but only to a mild extent. After all it is part of growing up. Put (S) in any thread that might have sexual references.
THERE ARE TO BE NO RACIAL, RELIGIOUS, OR PREJUDICE COMMENTS MADE! If you are going to be prejudiced against someone because of their background, you might not want to join. We take things very seriously, and if you have a problem with it, too bad.
YOU MUST BE THIRTEEN TO REGISTER! If you are below thirteen years of age, sorry, you cannot join.
NO OOC POSTING IN IC POSTS. Sure, if you have to go and want to let someone know you are leaving, tell them SHORTLY in the post. There is an OOC board for you to use to talk OOC. If there is a MUST for posting OOC in IC topics, you must make it noticeable that it is OOC. Ways of doing this are brackets, double parenthesis, or other ways that make it obvious.
DO NOT STEAL THE SITE WORK! The work on this site is copyright to the members, being that their work is their work and not yours. If you wish to use something on the site, please ask the DragonMaster for permission and he will get back to you as soon as possible.
SIGNATURES must be no bigger than 520x200 (if you are using an image) as any bigger than this will stretch the board. You will be getting a PM if your signature is too big, asking for it to be resized. If it have not been resized within 3-5 days, your signature will be taken out by a staff member.
HAVE FUN! This is the most important thing. Please make sure that you have fun and enjoy yourself. There are rules for a reason, but we want you to have plenty of fun so that we can have a nice enjoyable RP environment.
ADVERTISING. If you want to advertise, feel free. Invite friends, family, and anyone you can think of to the site. We love new members and activity. If you wish to advertise for another RP forum like this, please ask DragonMaster for permision.
INACTIVITY. If you have registrered with this site, but fail to create a character within 2 weeks of account creation your account will be deactivated or cancelled. Likewise should you fail in completing your character within 30 days that character will be deleted.
