[TECHNO]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,500,true] RULES 01. Do not violate the TOS. No nudity or conversations containing adult content. If your characters must do the wild thing, do a fade to black. Staff will monitor even hidden boards. Also, ew you guys. 02. Obey staff. Staff members will not abuse their power, but you will be warned (and possibly banned) if you break the rules and ignore staff. 03. Keep OOC and IC separate. In other words, your character does not know what's happening across the map just because you know, even if it concerns them, unless they are told or have reason to know. You are you, and your characters are just that - characters. 04. Third-person ("he", "she", "they") is preferred in RP posts, but first person ("I") is allowed. Second person ("you", "we") is obviously not an acceptable post format. 05. There is no word count, but please try to give others enough to work off of. On the other hand, do not write novels on here. They can be boring and intimidating. Between 100 and 1500 words is preferred, but there are no strict rules about this. 06. Please keep each character on a different account. 07. There is no limit to how many characters you can have, so long as you keep them all active. 08. One month in real life equals two here. 09. No power-playing or the like. ("Lisa grabs ahold of john and smacks him around, causing him to cry like a little *****.") All attempts actions performed on another character that could be dodged or avoided must be stated as "attempts", "tries", or even "would"s. [Of course, if it's something that the players agree wouldn't be a big deal, like a kiss between lovers or something, then that's fine.] 10. When creating a character, they must be older than 13 and younger than 60 (years). Most characters outside of that range would be very limited and/or unable to care for themselves without help. However, characters may age up to 60 or be born, but who's got the time? 11. Graphics must be no greater than 700 x 700 pixels. Signature art cannot stretch more than 600 pixels, and cannot be higher than 400 pixels. Avatars can be no thicker than 150 and no longer/higher than 400 pixels. Also, no nudity or people in their underwear/swimming attire.
