The Characters:
Characters must be believable. No complete geniuses, no perfect looking or gets all the girls or guys type people. Mary-Sue’s we call them.
But also, we don’t want characters that run around depressed all the time, with a completely tragic life story. If your character is like that, contact me first. We don't mind a couple tragidies, but no "Kill me or I'll do it myself." said Johny as he stood on the edge of the Astronomy tower. type kids, okay? Remember, believeable.
Post the applications in “Profiles” and wait for them to be reviewed. Be patient, we cannot be on 24/7, though we try our best.
Please have your character portrayed by a celebrity; it is so much easier on everyone this way. And don’t forget to post them in the face claim.
Please, three characters each, but unless cleared with me, I want everyone to play a guy as one of their three. It helps keep gender ratio closer to even.
Have either a 100X100 icon, or a signature of some sort displaying your character’s celebrity. It is a quick visual reference for those you role play with.
Characters may swear as much as they wish, but please, do not go overboard. I do not wish to see swear words every other word.
Applications && Regestering:
When registering your character make sure you have one character per account.
If your application is not finnished it will go in the Work In Progress sub-board, adn wait patiently until it gets reviewed.
Do not post anywhere until your application has been approved. Not hard, we are on every day to look over this stuff. If we do not get to it in two days, you may contact one of us to remind us, especially if one of us asked you to make changes to your application.
Plot && Sub-Plots:
If your characters are involved in the main plot, then they really have got to be active. Every character is important and to get this thing moving we need would like everyone to be on daily if possible.
If your character is involved in a sub-plot then the same general idea, they need to be active to keep those plots going. They are all interesting enough that they should not be too hard to play out. Use your imiganations and come to an admin if you need help.
Have an idea for a sub-plot do you? Submit it to an admin in a PM, and we will review it, and if we like it we will add it adn credit it to you. That will also earn you a couple house points.
Also, Pregnancy/Marriage/Engagements all of that is welcome on this site as long at you clear it with the Admins first. Pregnancy/Engagement - 16 years and older Marriage - 18 years and older
House Points:
Basically, since Hogwarts has always had the little game of house points, we have that here aswell. The way you get house points is if an admin finds a particularly good post of yours, you have a high number of posts (without all of them being spam in OOC boards), you refer someone to the site that joins, or if you submit a subplot that gets chosen.
If you involve yourself in classes you may earn points as well. Do your lessons and the teachers will give your house points accordingly.
Quidditch, will also earn you house points. If your House wins the game the whole house will recieve 30 points.
Out of Character:
Be kind to everyone, we are all trying to have fun here.
Don’t swear a lot; especially toward anyone.
Signatures are not allowed to stretch the boards. The maximum size for them is 500X200.
R E S P E C T the S T A F F
When your in the OOC boards, have fun, and go crazy but remember to stay as literate as possible. Don't go from amazingly literate to tlking lyk dis. Kay?
The Admins:
Respect all the admins equally. If you think we are unfair, then talk to us, we are reasonable about most things. Obviously the rules are to be followed but circumstances can change.
To become an admin, you can PM Headmistress Amelia and tell her you are interested. If you have proven you can stay active and are trustworthy, you may be chosen as an administartor or a moderator. Please understand if you do not get anything. We can only have so many admins for the amount of members on the forum.
Role Playing:
If a thread is specifically for two or so characters put [closed] or the characters name in the brackets. If it is for anyone to join put [open] in the brackets, or in the title somewhere specifically.
This site is PG-13 this means, No drug use, sex scenes ect... if you are caught making a thread involving these things you will be permently banned.
This is a site for any level Role Player. There is no words count, but I do ask you to please be descriptive and if the person(s) you're role playing with writes three paragraphs, they should get that in return.
This site will also help our beginners get involved & learn how to write more than just a one liner. We do not accept one liners here.
The rules are subject to change as the forum grows!
We play the game of baseball!
Strike One: Warning. Strike Two: Suspended. Strike Three: Banned.
RULES BY PADFOOT! OF CAUTION 2.0!
