RULES

[/font]

I know that they're unlikeable, repetitive, and ALWAYS there, but without rules we wouldn't have a society, or a functioning site.

(By the way, we don't have one of those pesky secret passwords hidden in the rules. We trust you enough to actually read them.)

SO CONFORM NOW. (;

THE BASICS

[/font]

1. R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me. Actually, just treat our staff members and your fellow members with respect and please please please be nice! Don't make me spray you with the rainbow gun and sick rabid smiley faces on you! If you have a problem with another member or an admin please pm or aim us about it instead of making it oh so public. Trust me, I've seen this before. The one thing I hate more than people who can't distinguish "your" from "you're" is out of character fighting.

2. SITE RATING
Our site just so happens to be rated R or M for mature, just because the admins are a bunch of wild, violent, sadistic, freaks. Besides, this is a ZOMBIE site. There's bound to be some brain eating in threads. If you've seen an R rated movie, you know that they're usually rated that way for violence, drugs, sex, crude language, etc. If a thread contains excessive amounts of any of the preceding items, then please warn the faint of heart and put a warning in your thread title. And just because we allow sex on the site doesn't mean that we want you to be perverted. Keep it as classy as possible, please.

3. ACCOUNTS
When you make your account please change your username to your characters name. Just go to profile, click modify, and the rest is self explanatory. We ask that you make it all lowercase letters like so-- 'delilah elle raine'. No big deal, right?
With every character you make please make a new account for that character! You're allowed to make as many characters as you want (seeing as I'll probably have 12 by the end of the month), but try to keep up with them all and do keep the boy/girl, species, and alliances ratios in mind. (WELCOME CHARACTER WHORES. I LOVE YOU.)

4. CLAIMS
Before making your character please check the face claims, the cannons, and the character requests to make sure your characters face isn't taken/requested. If it is requested then message the person requesting it and see if you can either plot with them or get them to change the play by. We REALLY don't want wherethehelldidyoucomefrom twins walking around.

5. GOD-MODDING/POWER PLAYING
--god-modding is making your character "all powerful."
--power-playing is controlling another character that isn't yours without permission.
None of that now, ya hear!? If any of this is found then you will most likely get one warning. If it happens again then you get kicked off the site. If you DO get permission to power play a character, then add a little out of character side note so you don't get in trouble.

6. CHIT CHAT.
"iF yOu TAlK LiKE dIs", just leave the site now or take a grammar class and come back. We want to understand you guys!!! And as for the cbox you're totally welcome to use chat speak since I abuse it like crazy myself, but still, let's not go overboard.

7. OOC CBOX RULES
See that box to the side? That's the cbox. Don't abuse it please. That means no spamming, advertising, or fighting in it. If you want to advertise your site then just post in our advertisement board! If you have a problem with someone please refer to rule one. And any excessive and/or offensive spamming will get you kicked off and banned. Sorry. As for an ICC cbox we don't have one.. yet. But if we do get one the same rules apply to it.

8. WORD COUNT
Our word count is pretty easy to meet. Just make sure that all in character posts (not including icc games and instant messaging threads) are 250+, excluding the template code of course.

9. PERMISSION FOR PLOTS
The only scenario I can see this being applied is with pregnancies. We don't need a lot of people who are up the duff running around so if you want your character to be pregnant just pm us admins and we'll give you the "yay" or "nay".

10. GRAPHICS
Avatars can be 100x100 or 150x200 and signature sizes are whatever as long as they don't stretch the page. Please don't contain offensive material or nudity in any of your character pictures. We may be rated R but I don't need to see an actual picture of anything.

11. OTHER THINGS.
These rule are subject to change or be added onto at any time. If that happens then an announcement will be posted so don't worry, we won't change anything behind your backs.

SORRY IF I COME OFF AS RATHER HARSH HERE.
I LOVE YOU GUYS. SERIOUSLY. DON'T BE AFRAID OF JOINING. I'M NICE I SWEAR.
