The most important page that you'll find in any role playing game. Please read through till the end. It'll be worth it, trust me.
The following are rules pertaining to the C-BOX. Please take care of Phillip, we love him.
- Be nice. This should come as a no brainier, but you'd be surprised at how often this is overlooked. Remember that this is the Internet and text can easily be misinterpreted. Just remember your manners and treat others how you would like to be treated and you'll be fine.
- Bullying and harassment is not tolerated on this site. We all understand that the thoughts and actions of a character does not reflect or is endorsed by their player so while in character nastiness and drama is fine, out of character nastiness is not. Please keep things separate.
- Everyone is entitled to say no to a plot or to take their time with posting. Please be patient with your fellow players. This goes the same for the admins, so trust that we've read through your application and are reviewing it as quickly as we can.
- Please only post after your character has been accepted. That being said we're not going to be keeping track of how often you post for a character. Everyone has lives outside of this game and things can get pretty hectic. Muses get lost along the way or a thread is dropped. Just keep in mind to do the polite thing and post in the absences board if you're going to be away for an extended period of time. If you're intending to go on hiatus, please PM one of the admins to let us know.
- When posting, please keep to a minimum word count of one hundred words. It's always best and appreciated if you give your writing partners something to work with. Remember, if you get stuck you can always fall back on describe your character's surroundings or their emotions. Posts should be made in the third person perspective.
- The maximum number of characters that you can take on at the moment is seven. Please make sure that they are not in the same race group or gender. Variety is a good thing. Also please be responsible for yourself and not take on more characters then you can handle.
- Powerplaying is not allowed! You may not write a response for a character that is not yours! You may not kill off another player's character unless you have permission from said player and the staff. Joint posts are allowed just as long as you have gotten the other player's permission. Please don't have your character randomly know another character's secrets just because you read it on their bio page. In case of fights, please take some blows too and not just be dodging all the time. You are not invincible.
- Joint posts are great things, just make sure to indicate somewhere in the post to avoid any confusion.
- In game actions have in game consequences. This is an rp that is set in a School. While we may over look the minor sneaking out of academy grounds or playing hooky. Attacking another student, using powers outside of the arena, vandalism..etc will result in one of the staffers giving your character a detention.
- This site has a PG-13 rating, so anything overtly violent or sexual will not do. Posts with fights in them are still allowed, but please remember to tag your posts. Plotlines with mature themes, such as character death, pregnancy, gun use will have to be run by the admins before hand.
- Graphics. Please choose an avatar with a 100x100 dimension. Siggies should not contain offensive materials such as nudity and violence. Dimensions should not be more than 500x250. Please just have on siggy per character, it's kinda distracting and it stretches the board.
The following are rules pertaining to the C-BOX. Please take care of Phillip, we love him.
- Please do not advertise your site on the c-box. Or even talk about other sites on the C-box. It's rude. Aside from this, do not say anything defamatory of this site. Comments can be directed to one of the admins.
- No OOC drama. Slurs against race, gender or orientation will not be tolerated in the c-box.
- In-Character banter is allowed on the c-box. However just playing as your character does not count as actual posting. Whatever RP that goes on in the c-box is not considered canon to the game.
