Rules of roleplay

Subject: Rules of roleplay Mon Sep 10, 2012 5:37 pm

When playing

Try to write at least a paragraph and try to pay attention to grammar and typing. Grammatical mistakes are not the end of the world (my English grammar is terrible), but please pay attention to typos.
Do not use smiley-s.
Always indicate if the thread is open or closed.
Closed: You selected which characters may join the game or you have planned this game with others and don't want anyone to join in.
Open: Anyone can join in OR anyone in a certain category can join in (in which case, indicate the group).
If you start playing in "First person", please stick to it. Same goes to third person or past tense/present tense. Don't change with each post. If you started playing in one way, try to keep it that way. If you are new to role-playing, it's okay to experiment at the beginning, but after playing for a couple of days, we expect you not to change.
No character is invincible. Don't play them as if they are. All characters have their weaknesses and strengths.
There are some things that you may know, but your character won't. Make sure and distinguish between in- and out-of-character knowledge.
You may only use your character, unless the user of another character gives permission for use.
When fighting/duelling/etc use conditional tense, as it is the Gamemaster (usually) who decides the outcome of such plays.
When you create a new topic/game, always mention the date of that event. You may play in more than one game, but NOT on the same day. It's very important. Unless your character can copy herself/himself, it is not possible to be two places at once. Keep track of the timeline.
You may play games that have sexual content, but in that case, put out a warning. Registration is only allowed from 14 years onward, but let's just stay on the safe side.

When registering, creating characters

You may have multiple characters, but only after you used your first character for over 2 weeks. Don't forget about your main character if you have more than 3! Use all of them.
Your "multi" characters can be of any age if they are students.
Characters that have been inactive for two months will be archived. If the player returns, they can request the character be moved back.
Do NOT use celebrity names for your characters. You are role-playing, I'm sure you have a great imagination.
You may create relatives to your characters and also to others' once you have their permission.
You may be any kind of character - teacher, student, worker (chef, cleaning lady, gardener, etc), magical creatures, etc, EXCEPT Headmaster or Gamemaster. If we need gamemasters, we'll ask you to join us.
You can only have 1 character per account. You have to register again to have another character.

If you have ANY question, feel free to contact one of the Headmasters.
