General Rules
.001 Be respectful to all members, staff members, and guests. This is a very important rule to follow, not only when role playing, but in the OOC areas and CBox as well. This is very much a common sense rule, and action will be taken if it is violated.
.002 No spamming. Spam = stupid, pointless, annoying messages. Spam is really only good for annoying the staff and members, along with wasting peoples time. Just don’t do it.
.003 Lionandlamb. This has nothing to do with the application password. Keep reading for the real password. No hotlinking. Hotlinking is bad. Hotlinking will get you no where on this forum. Just remember that.
.004 Do not badger the staff members about being apart of the staff. If we want you on the team, we’ll ask you to join us. If you keep endlessly asking, no matter how fantastically experienced you are on photoshop or great you are at coding, you won’t become a staff member.
.005 It’s okay to joke around with the staff and members, and it’s even better to ask questions. Don’t worry, we don’t bite! Everyone around here is nice and possibly a little bit crazy, but that’s what’s so great about us. =]
Role Playing Rules
.001 No one liners, at all, period, the end. We here at Everlasting Twilight have a posting requirement to go by, which is 3 paragraphs or 500 words a post. We all have off days, the staff understands that, but that doesn’t excuse you answering a six paragraph reply with three or four sentences. At least attempted something, and remember that the easiest way to add detail is to imagine your there and your telling a friend about what’s going on.
.002 No “kEwL” talk or text speak. I’m serious on this one people, it’s super annoying when you spend fifteen minutes trying to decipher one paragraph. Shortenings are okay, like “ASAP” for as soon as possible, ect., but if you dare write a sentence that looks similar to “OMG n0000 w@y!” , I swear to Mother Mary you will be getting a PM from a very angry admin.
.003 Cursing, swearing, drugs, alcohol, sex, pregnancies, and murder are all okay. This is a mature site, so mature things are gonna happen. However, this doesn’t mean you and another character should be running around the forums doing the happy dance all the time. As with all mature RP sites, please put a rating in your thread title, like, “R”, if it’s going to get all hot and heavy, because young eyes will wander onto the forums and we want to give someone a fair warning before they get scarred for life. Aside from that, everybody lets the F bomb slip once in a while- DON’T go all south park on us and put twenty in one paragraph. Try to be a little classy with the language. If your character is a nun (yes, that’s an option) then don’t have her swearing to Jesus up and down all the time. In cases with pregnancies and murder, please check with the people who will be involved and get their permission as well as an admins.
.004 Be respectful to the Twilight Realm and Stephanie Meyer’s views. No Harry Potter characters aloud. You wouldn’t see someone applying to be Edward Cullen on a Harry Potter website, so don’t apply to be Harry Potter or Hermione Granger on this one. The eyes of vampires are either red or golden, unless they wear contacts on a regular basis. Vampires here aren’t really vulnerable to things like sunlight. Please note that this is an AU Twilight RP in retrospect to “The Red Ones”. Everything else pretty much goes by the book.
.005 No God Modders aloud. God modding pretty much makes everyone sad and downtrodden or extremely livid. Even when you’re an almost-immortal vampire, you still aren’t perfect. You can’t dazzle everyone and you can’t kill everyone and you can’t be smarter or better than everyone. So just don’t make it that way.
.006 Mary Sues and Gary Sues will be drained of all blood if they ever appear on this site. No character is perfect. Believe it or not, even sexy Edward Cullen has major flaws like the rest of us. So, pretty much, your character must have faults, or else.
.007 If you want your vampire to have a special ability, then please place how they use it and such in their history in the application. Special abilities aren’t just handed out, so you better work your butt off on that application if you want one. Okay, so you just have to be a little over average, but still. =]
.008 Character limits, well… There are none as of right now. However, just because you can have a hundred characters doesn’t mean they can all be girls. To keep the balance of gender on the site, for every two girls you have, you must have a boy as your third character. This doesn’t upset the balance and ensures a bit of diversity, you know?
.009 Lastly, but not leastly, have fun! That’s what role playing is all about! The password for the application is ‘you are my life now.’ If you read this far, I seriously love you. You dazzle me, lol. So, just remember that you should never be afraid to talk to the staff and members, and have some fun!
Love,
Edward, Bella, Leah, Alice, and Marjorie.
