1. Do Not godmod or puppet characters not belonging to you without permission unless they are NPC's of your own creation.

2. Don't be a dick. We're all adults here; act like it. Do not take OOC into IC or vice-versa. If you have an issue that is not resolved after discussing it with the player, please contact the mod.

3. Activity limits are as follows: You need one posted scene or journal entry per character each month. While it's not necessarily a requirement, it would also be nice to see comments on other's posts. We'd like this to be an active community where everyone feels welcome and accepted. Activity checks will be done each month and warnings will go out a full seven days before cuts will be made so everyone has a chance to keep all of their characters in game. Sometimes lesser used ones get overlooked; this is what the warnings are for. If you have a character who is on the warning list three months in a row, they will not be given a fourth reminder. If you are removed due to inactivity, you will not be allowed back with that character unless there are extenuating RL circumstances. Hiatuses are also allowed, you only need to ask for them and keep us updated.

4. Pregnancies. These things happen. Sometimes they happen often. However, not every female in game is gonna pregnant at once. There is nothing in the water. Pregnancies are limited to three IG pregnancies at one time. If you would like a pregnancy line, please leave a note in the dropbox. These are first come first serve. Only two of your characters may be pregnant at one time. This ensures each pregnancy gets its own special treatment that you'd like it to have and also gives everyone an equal chance to have IG children. Once someone's pregnancy is finished, the spot will be available for others to request. If your character is pregnant upon application of the game, they do not count towards the three-cap and can pick up wherever they were in their pregnancy.

5. Please use warnings/trigger warnings as needed for scenes and journal entries. If you are unsure whether something will need a trigger warning, err on the side of caution and use one. This being said, all players in this game are required to be 18+. There are no subjects fully off the table by any means, we just want to make sure that no one is caught off guard when they browse their f-page.







FAQ

What do I do if I have a problem OOC and have already tried to civilly discuss the issue with the other player and no resolution has been found?

Please contact a mod via dropbox. An AIM screenname will be given out upon request; please note all discussions will be logged but not visible to anyone other than the mods as they are confidential. Conversations and names will not be disclosed when the problem is discussed with the other player without permission. If the problem is not resolved the first time there is a mod discussion it can be lead to removal of all characters from the game of the offending player. Don’t be a dick OOCly and do not transfer OOC issues into IC actions. This shouldn’t have to be said as we are all adults. This is not a place to ream other people’s asses because you have nothing better to do with your time. We're all here to have fun.


Do you have any rules on PB’s?

Try to match them to character ages. A PB in their 50's will not pass for someone who is 23. You may use older era pictures of celebrities to match ages if you wish. Ex: Johnny Depp has a variety of ages that could be used due to his long acting career.


How many icons should I have?

This is really up to the player but there should be a minimum of ten. If you use icons another person has made make sure to give credit where credit is due.


While we’re at it, do I need a fancy journal layout?

Again, up to the player. This is about the writing and not about who has the prettier pictures and shiny journals. As long as you have a bio, an IC and an OOC contact post, you're perfectly fine.


What about an AIM name?

AIM is not required for this game but highly encouraged for more IC interaction.


What if I have a planned pregnancy but it's going to be terminated in x way that leads to no birth? Do I still need to wait in line?

In this circumstance, please contact the mod with a very brief explanation of the situation. Most likely you will be allowed to proceed with that plot line without needing one of the pregnancy slots.
