• • • this site is rated M for MATURE. if you are under the age of thirteen or don't like sex, drugs, violence, and harsh language... then this isn't the site for you. in other words, we will not tone down what happens in rp on this site. please don't complain about the content. this is a fair warning.
• • • the setting is an island which none of the students know the name of. all they know is that they were sent there to go to school. essentially they should think they are at a boarding school on an island. other than that they have no clue about what's really going on. it's 2009 so please... be realistic to the time period.
• • • please be active. don't just join, post once and ditch us. rp sites are a team thing. if one player decides to be lazy and drop out, then the rest have to pick up the slack, and that's just not fair to those who really want the site to succeed. please, if you plan on being absent for over three days, post in the attendance board.
• • • if your app is denied, then you will be told what in it needs to be fixed through pm. we will not publicly display anything because that's embarrassing to people and we're not here to embarrass you.
• • • please finish your app in a timely manner. we realize that real life problems take priority, but let an admin know if you won't be able to finish it in a week or more so that we know you'll get to it eventually.
• • • please respect your fellow members. don't start fights and don't flame anyone. if you have problems with another member, then you should take it up with a staff member through PM. don't take matters into your own hands. go through a staff member to rage and vent.
• • • if a staff member says something... then listen to them. what the staff says, goes. please respect the staff of the site. they work hard to keep it up and running for your entertainment.

• • posts should be done in past tense third person. good:sally walked to the river. bad:i walked to the river.bad:you walk to the river.
• • ONE LINERS ARE NOT ALLOWED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. writer's block and lack of muse is understandable... but in that case... just don't post until your muse comes back. obviously when a character is speaking it should have "quotation marks" or be bolded. and please please please no chat speak in posts.
• • the posting minimum is 300. please adhere to that. it's not hard. that is actually very lenient compared to other sites. we aren't going to kick you out for not doing the posting limit, though. if you're having a really bad day and can only manage 250 or something, then we understand. but don't kill everyone with just one paragraph posts... people need stuff to go off of.
• • no double posting
• • obviously if you want to reserve a thread for someone you should put the character's name in the title... unless specified... all other threads are open.

• one account per character and as many characters as you want. just be aware of the ratio between girls and guys. we don't want this site to lean too far one way.
• display names should be first middle last name all lower case.
• avatars must be real life pictures and you can't use yourself as a pb. don't use anime or cartoon avatars, it's not realistic... and as much as you guys are loved... it's not smart to use yourself as a pb.
• avatars must be sized at exactly 100x100 or 100x200 and no posted image should stretch the page or it will be sized down.
