*RULES;;
[/color]I know, I know, rules are boring. Well guess what? It funner to read than to type, so you're lucky. You can ask anyone who's ever made an RPG and they'll say the same thing. So just read through these real quick and you good to go! I'll make it as fun as I can, and that's not a lie.
*REGISTERING;;[/color]
This is easy that a cat could do it blindfolded. All you have to do is click the little button that says REGISTER near the top. Your username has to be your character's first name, and when you join change your display name to your character's first and last name, for instance; 'Russ Chase', 'Kallie Turrer'. Any user who accidentally makes a mistake in the name (typos, lowercase, so on...) can have their name edited to how ever they want. Just make a sidenote in your bio and one of the Staffers will change it for you. Told you a cat could do it...
*APPLYING;;[/color]
Obviously, the purpose of joining this website is to role-play right? But sometimes it's hard to get into a character's shoes so we make terrible posts and don't even care. Well, that's why we have a biography (bio). Bios can really get you attached and imagine what you character has been through. So before you start posting, you have to fill out an bio. It's for your benefit after all.
To let you express your creativity to the highest degree, we have two apps you can choose from. The first is one that Lekhrite made, and the other is one from CAUTION 2.0. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and make one! Please just remember to make it full of info instead of floppy and lifeless, for instance 'Personality: Lek likes to jump and swim. He also likes cheese.'
*ROLE-PLAYING;;[/color]
Ahh, role-playing. The best part of the site. We have a few rules about it though, to make sure you have the best time. First, we are a PG-13 level site as most proboards sites are. So if you are, oh I don't know, 9 or so, just know that some stuff like torture, pain, bloody scenes, etc. will be on here, so just make sure you can handle it. Honestly, I'm fine with people under 13 on here. I don't see an issue with it. Just don't flaunt it around, because if proboards shuts us down for that, it'll be on your conscience for a while. Ok?
Second, I personally have a strict policy on sex threads. There can be ABSOLUTELY NO graphic scenes or emotions. Just make the thread fade into black.
We are a 100 words+ site, which means that in roleplay threads you must post at least 100 words. If you just want to post one or two liners, this isn't the site for you. The only exception is in the OOC section of the forum.
Aductica is a character-per-account site, which means that for each character you want to create you must make a separate account. If you forget to switch accounts or make a new account when you post a bio with an account that already holds a character, then a staffer will PM you the whole bio thread, ask you to switch to another account for that character, and wait until you re post your bio with the other account until we delete the accidental thread. :)
Most importantly, HAVE FUN! This site was made for your entertainment so have fun. And if I sounded rude at all during these rules, you can take away my chocolate priveledges. (for 2 minutes) :)
*OTHER STUFF;;[/color]
-No one is perfect, so don't make your characters perfect. Be realistic, a little pup or kid can't be a great fighter or hunter, and a newborn pup can't talk or open it's eyes.
-No character can die off without an admin's permission. Most of the time, we will allow it, but just so we're clear, you can't have your character kill anyone else's without their permission. Non-playing characters are fine, kill as you please.
-No cyber-bullying. It's not cool and actually makes you a bigger wimp than people who are victims. Why bully people who you never have met and never will? Duh!
-You are allowed to cuss, just not like crazy. One or two words per post depending on the length is fine. If your character is a jerk that's fine, just don't constantly use profanity.
-If you have any questions at all, PM me. I'll be more than happy to help you.[/center]
