THE RULES [PTabbedContent][PTab=General] Respect: Be kind, courteous, and respectful to other members on the site. If you have a difference of opinion, or if someone does something that upsets you, contact us rather than handling it yourself. Do not harass, attack, or offend any other members. Bash Free: We are a positive, bash free board. Please do not fill the site with angry comments, rants, or any sort of negativity.This is to ensure the board remains a positive and fun place for everyone! No Plagiarism: We have a zero tolerance policy for plagiarism if any kind. This includes copying and paste your bio information directly from another site, taking other people's graphics without credit, and so on. Canon Based: We ask that you remember that this is based on a canon plot and with that in mind, remain as consistent with it as possible. You can find out more about the plot HERE. Not Only for Rpers: This site is not limited to only role players. You are more than welcome to join if you enjoy the series or books and wish to chat about it and in the process, meet other fans. [/PTab][PTab=Role Play] Bio Template: We have a standard template that must be completely filled out if you are applying for a character. Please do not change anything and follow the specific requirements in each field. If you are stuck on a section, don't hesitate to send us a PM and we will help you the best we can. Characters: We will be acceptimg both canon characters as well as made up characters. Please ensure you conform them to properly fit into the plot of this role play. Skill Limitation: Please do not have your character excel at everything. Add limitations to him or her to keep a fair balance on the site. Admin Approval: You must wait for your bio to be approved before you can post in the role play, as well as the the plots and plans board, and the graphic requests section. You will receive a PM once your bio has been approved. WIP Bios: You are permitted to post WIP (Work In Progresss) bios. However, if it is not complete after 5 days of being posted, then the bio will be taken down If it was for a canon character, then we will ask you wait a week before reapplying. AU Threads: We do have an AU (alternate universe) board. This is for threads that step outside the canon verse of the plot. This involves romantic relationships that are not canon, or 'What If' scenarios that could have changed the course of the plot Third Person: All posts including the application, must be written in third person (he, she, they), not first person (I, me, my). Post Size: We ask that each post be a minimum of two paragraphs long. Please make sure to give enough to reply to so that the person you are role playing with does not feel inconvenienced. Posting Minimum: For canons from the series Spartacus, we require 2 posts per week. For OCs we require a minimum of 1 posts a week PER character. Keep in in mind that this is the minimum and exceeding this would be great. This is to keep the threads moving and so that it is fair for other role players to not be waiting on people for a long time. Character Limit: While we do not have a limit as to how many characters you can play we ask that you take only as many as you can handle. Account: If your account has not been signed into for over two weeks without an absence notice, then the character will be opened/archived. No God Modding: Do not control any other character apart from your own (i.e. making them say or do something in your post that they did not do in their own). Also, be respectful of the way they portray that character; do not pressure them to engage in plots that go against their preference of how they see their character act or think. Character Standard: Members are required to stay as close to their canon characters as possible. Once your bio is approved you are not permitted to edit anything in it without the admin's approval. Away Notice: If you are posting an away notice then you must have a return date in that notice. If you are going to be absent for more than two weeks, you MUST speak to one of the staff members. [/PTab][PTab=Graphics] Face Claim: Everyone must have a face claim for their character, represented by a real life celebrity. This means no anime or animated images permitted. Username: The name of your username should be the name of your character. Please do not register with a username of a character that you do not intend to play (i.e. registering with Spartacus if you do not intend to write as him). This is to avoid confusion. Once you are approved, you will have the opportunity to select a unique posting color that your username will be changed to. Icon: Your icon should be an image of the character you are playing. The maximum size permitted is 150 pixels x 150 pixels. This will also be the image that appears on the forum when you are online. Avatar: Your avatar is an image that should also be a picture or a gif of your character. The dimensions for this are 250 x 400 pixels. Signature: Your signature/banner should be an image of the character you are playing. The maximum size permitted is a width of 600 pixels and a height of 300 pixels. This is to ensure that the board does not get stretched by an image that is too large. Crediting Graphics: If someone else has made your signature and/or av, you must add a line of credit stating the person who made it. You are not permitted to take and use graphics from tumblr, fanpop, or any other sites to avoid plgarism. Custom Title: Your custom title can only be changed by the admin and it will be the name of your character's group (i.e. Gladiator, Slave, Roman, Citizen, Other). [/PTab][PTab=Chat Box] Chat Content: The chat box is a great place to meet other members and even plan threads. With that said, please do not rant, complain, bash, or post negative messages of any kind. As well, do not pressure members to post, or pressure the admins to approve your bio. We also ask that you not post extremely personal information about you, as your private life is just that: private. Please keep in mind that this a public place to talk and thus, require that everyone feel comfortable with the conversation taking place in it. Discretion: Any conversation between a member and the admin is private. Do not post it or talk about it in the CB. If there is something we need to discuss with you privately, we will do so VIA PM. We require that you not talk about these issues in a public place for all members to see. Advertising: Absolutely no advertising in the Chat Box! There is a board for you all to post links to other sites. Please do not post links to other forums. In Character Chat: The IC [In Character] Chat Box is located at the bottom of the forum. This is a place to muse as your character and does not necessarily follow any specific plot. It is a great place for all sorts of in character fun and shenanigans. Out Of Character Chat: The OOC [Out Of Character] Chat Box is located at the left hand side of the forum. This is a place to chat and meet other members. Forum rules still apply.
