1. All characters must be approved before they are allowed to
participate. All characters must have a completed application before they will be considered for approval. Failure to submit the app as it is posted will result in a PM to you to ask you to fix it following deletion of the app if it is not fixed within a weeks time. This should be adequate time to edit it. If for some RL reason prevents this then PM staff and notify us and something can be worked out. You may not alter or omit portions of the app. Further, no bio shall be the work of anyone but yourself. Copy an pasting from other sources is not allowed. We want to see how you write and how well you know the character. Regurgitating someone else's words only shows that you know how to use a mouse or keyboard shortcuts.
2. In order to keep the storyline moving please make sure you post at least twice a week. Exceptions for real life situations can be made but must be made aware to the owner. Failure to notify the owner may result in you losing your character. If you end up having to leave the role-play, you will have the choice of either taking your character with you or leaving it in the role-play for someone else to play.
3. No graphic content involving sex or violence is allowed! Kissing, some touching and then fade to black. Think about how it is in the T.V. series. IF YOU BREAK THIS RULE YOU SHALL BE BANNED WITHOUT HESITATION!
4. When you join you shall have TWO weeks in which to create a character. If in that time you have not created a character, you will be PMd to be reminded. If we receive no answer, then you shall be deleted. We believe that two weeks is plenty of time in which to come up with a character. NO LURKERS SHALL BE PERMITTED!
5. When posting to another character, kindly give the other person at least 24 hours notice to respond before moving on. Some people have more active lives than others so please take that into consideration, thank you!
6. Please do not move another person's character or put words in their mouth without permission from the person playing them. Don't always assume their character will do something that you THINK. You wouldn't want someone to do that with your personal character, right?
7. This role-play encourages feedback and participation from all its members. There will be a basic storyline, yes but that doesn't mean that things cannot be added. HOWEVER any ideas should be discussed with the owner or moderators BEFORE they are posted. To just add things without clearing them could cause trouble for the storyline. Addendum: This does not mean that the entire basic plot will be altered to suit an individual or small group of individuals. The plot is there to read prior to application so you know what you are getting into.
8. Any posts not relating to the ongoing storyline should be posted in the forum for OOC discussions
9. You cannot kill off another person's character without their
express permission. You may wound a character but to the point where they can easily recover. So, no physical things like dismemberment without permission from the person who plays that character!
10. No god-molding or all powerful characters. These kind of characters are boring and every character must have weaknesses of some sort. No immortals unless it has been discussed with the moderators.
11. Please try to avoid one-liner posts! This is a personal pet
peeve of the owner. If you are in a situation where you can't do
much for fear of moving someone else's character, then maybe add some things to your post such as what your character is feeling etc. Be creative! But PLEASE no one-liners if possible! You can also have the option of collaborating with another player via MSN, AOL or Yahoo! Messenger in order to prevent this from occurring.
12. This group is not meant for mud slinging or airing personal
problems with other members. IF you do have a personal problem with a fellow member please email and speak to them directly or contact the owner at phantomsprotege@hotmail.com. PLEASE do not post any complaints in a public forum, thank you!
13. If you chose to leave the RPG please email the owner at
phantomsprotege@hotmail.com with your intent. PLEASE do
not just leave as it can make a difference in the storyline, thank
you!
14. Communication is vital for a role-play to be successful!
Therefore don't hesitate to discuss any story ideas you may have! And also don't hesitate to ask questions! We can all learn from one another.
15. Any members failing to comply with any of these rules could
result in being removed from the RPG. Any questions? Please email the owner at phantomsprotege@hotmail.com
16. No auditions are required in order to play characters. HOWEVER should I feel that the person playing the character is lacking in general role playing skills and spelling, I can choose to remove them if I wish. If there is an instance where two people ask for the same character, I may have them each audition to determine the part.
17. If you have not posted in a month(and are currently part of a thread/storyline) and have NOT emailed me in regards to a reason, your character will be deleted! I believe that a month is plenty of time for someone to either post or at least email with a reason as to why they can't post. Having to wait for people can hold up scenes and storylines and that can lead to the death of an rpg which I will NOT allow! So, please as a courtesy to the group AND to the people you are in a storyline with, make sure you inform us of your intentions!
18. In regards to made up characters that are related to any canon characters(ex: Dean, Sam, etc.), I have no problem with that. BUT what I do ask is that you confer with the member playing that particular canon so that there are no surprises. After all, it's only fair right? Furthermore, Staff reserves the right to refuse a character of this type if it is considered too 'jumping the shark' for the storyline. Nothing worse than finding out your character has a brother/sister or other kind of relative and you have no idea about it.
19. Banners for signatures must be NO larger than 600 x 120!
20. There will not be a limit to how many characters a member can have. HOWEVER, the member must make certain that they post for all of them. This means that you must be able to periodically check threads that your character is in to be make sure posts are not needed. If you feel that you cannot keep up with posting for all your characters, then you should consider limiting yourself. The key word for the application submission is sadpanda. Since this is a fast moving rpg, keeping scenes moving is a must. This also coincides with the twice a week posting rule
21. This rule is in regards to threads on the board. If you see a thread that you wish to join PLEASE PM the people involved in it BEFORE posting! There are many of us who confer with storyline ideas for threads and work hard on them. It truly disrupts things when people just jump in without asking and can possibly change the storyline altogether. So, again, we don't mind if people wish to join in threads that are going on but PLEASE ask before doing so! Thank you! Any threads that are 'crashed' without permission, shall have those particular posts deleted
22. In regards to members, we like to consider ourselves an intermediate role play. This means that if you are not up to our standards we have the right to warn you and allow you to correct it. If after three warnings we feel you have not adjusted your role playing we have shall terminate your membership. (see rule about no one liner posts)
23. Yes we do have a Cbox and you are welcome to use it for roleplaying. HOWEVER...it is not for full on roleplaying. If you are more than one post behind you may NOT use it for roleplaying purposes. Also the cbox may be used only for current posting situations, to test out new characters or just random rping. No rping things months in advance. AND it shall NOT become the basic means for rping either
24. Treat the staff with respect
25. Comply with all the rules or The Trickster will smite you!
26. But most importantly…..HAVE FUN!
