RULES

GENERAL INFORMATION BEFORE REGISTRATION

# By registration, you accept automatically that you have read the rules carefully, and agree with them.

# If you register yourself, you have to be at least 16 years old, due to the possible more graphic writings. If you are under 18, please know that you aren't allowed to write any sexualized scenes (smut) with any of the other characters here, no matter if your character is of age or not. This is just to prevent other writers to feel uncomfortable - and commiting a crime. Writing such things with minors is a crime, and will therefore not be accepted. By ignoring this rule, the admins have the immediate permission to delete your character and prevent you from registrating again. 

# We do realize that there are characters that might insult other characters, or have questionable opinions. Nevertheless, we ask everyone to make sure this won't end in uncomfortable situation for both writers. 

# Insults, bullying, racism etc. out of character won't be tolerated at all and will lead to the admins taking steps against that person. 

# In general, we want to build a roleplay forum here, where one can feel at home. Roleplay is a hobby, not a job. And Real Life (RL) ALWAYS comes first. The admins understand that. If you aren't able to come online, need a break or whatever, there will be a topic, where you can simply state you can't write right now. This will prevent your character from being deleted for all your absence. 

# There are no main characters in this roleplay, but the admins will plan maybe some events or ideas around people who are more active. 

# Please look if your Faceclaim (FC) is already taken. Every Faceclaim is only allowed to be taken once, except for twins, if that is alright with the person who took the Faceclaim first. You can request a Faceclaim to be reserved for a week, if you aren't sure yet. 

# Please registers with your NAME_SURNAME (like Charlie_Fitzgerald). Spaces are sadly not allowed; the combination of name and surname allowes several names to be taken more than once, just like in real life. In order to prevent confusion, we still recommend taking a name that hasn't been used yet. 

# The three code words you need for your profile activation, will be written in italics. They look out of place and don't fit into the sentence, so yes, you should be able to find them all, if you read the rules carefully. The admins have the right to change them whenever they feel necessary. 

# If you want to have a look everwhere closer first, or want to chat with someone and ask questions etc. - Our Guest account will be available for this. 
It is NOT allowed to change anything inside the Guestaccount (like username, or password). If you do, this account will get deleted and a new one will be made. 

# You don't have to be a native speaker. The admin isn't either. What we want, is for you to have fun. Writing here might even improve your language skills. So don't be shy. Everybody is allowed to make mistakes. 

AFTER REGISTRATION

# Please fill out your profile as much as you can. You need to fill out the code word section in order for the admins to 'accept' you, and give you all your usergroups. 

# You don't have to create a "Relationship Thread" nor do you have to post a long backstory for your character. All these things are just there to make interaction easier. 

# If you do have a Signature in this forum, please make sure, it won't be too big.

# If you shouldn't be for three weeks, nor post anything within an entire month, you will receive a message by the Admins. Shouldn't you be able to change anything, then your character will be deleted. You can simply excuse yourself - even for several months. Admins will accept that. 

# Please notify an admin Cupcake should you ever want to delete your account, so that we know, it's no mistake. 

# You are allowed to have several characters in this Roleplay Forum. But if you do, please also be active with them. Don't create 50+ accounts, if you can't be active with all of them, to make it sound dramatic.

POSTING AND IN-PLAY

# The months in RL will determine our Playtime in this RPG. December - February: Winter. March - May: Spring. June - August: Summer. September - November: Autumn. Within those three months, the plays will be active. 

# If your play takes place in the future or the past, please use Future and Past Play for that. 

# Every three months, the Admins will move all current Roleplays into the archive. 

# Plays should be labled like this (in their titel):
Playpartner A + Playpartner B: [You may add any name as a topic here] || [Day] [Month] [Year]
For example: Charlie + Guest: Welcome to the town || 12th March 2020
You may only add month and year, if the day doesn't really matter.

# You can, due to us playing three month at the same time, have several roleplays in the "current" time. 

# If a roleplay is over add "END", so that the Admin will know that it's finished. If you change places (like from your flat to the theatre), you can simply add "GOING TO ...". 

# PLEASE use PUNCTUATION. Otherwise apple pie things are hard to read. You may write in first or third person, whatever you feel most comfortable with. But punctuation is important. Thanks.

# Respect Triggers of others, and if a play could include triggering topics such a graphic violence, drug usage, eating disorders, selfharm or suicidal tendencies/thoughts/attempts, then please put a "TRIGGERWARNING" in your title of the roleplay; or before the post again. IN BIG LETTERS! 

# Don't kill or hurt another character without agreeing with the writer on it first. Do not godmod, especially when it comes to fights. Give the others a chance!

# Most important rule: HAVE FUN! And thanks for reading so carefully all the rules. The last code word is: Lollipop.
