please read all the rules and follow them.
i've tried to make them exciting and enter-
taining to read. please do the best you can.
black=new/updated rule
navy=this has been ignored. reread
in general;;
1. respect everyone! there is no one more superior and in a higher class than anyone else. let's all be the nicest we can be and enjoy the company of surrounding members.
2. THIEF! just kidding. there better be no "thiefing" on this site. this is a duh. don't steal other posts, characters, graphics, and whatever else you think could be of value.
3. don't fight. if you do, i don't want to hear about it. over pm will be the best way if you absolutely have to fight, but really, let's all play nice.
4. following the forms i give you would be great! it will keep the site more organized and it is easier for everyone to read whatever it is the form was for, if that makes sense. [:
5. giving out personal information is dangerous. you don't know who is on the other side of the computer screen. don't give out any personal information. use a name that is not your real name.
6. out of character, any racist, sexist, etc comments will NOT be tolerated. i take this rule very seriously and you will be given warning if i see any of this.
7. do not stretch your signature or the forum. only one picture is allowed in your signature and it must not exceed the width of 500 pixels.
8. do not rush the administrator, or any staff, into doing something for you right away. i don't want anyone pming me about me accepting their character. it's just kinda really annoying.
roleplaying;;
1. spelling and grammar must be complete and easy to read. proboards provides a spell check so if you're not sure on a word, it won't take you that long. i promise you.
2. there is a minimum of 2 paragraphs. in case you don't know, paragraphs are at least 7 sentences long. it shouldn't be too difficult for those of you who are new, and for those who've rped forever, this is a cinch.
3. there is no powerplaying allowed. (i.e. jimmy hopped out of his car and tommy walked over). this is considering your character is jimmy and the other member's character is tommy. don't play other members' characters k?
4. no godmoding. in real life, there is no one that can fly. and no one is invincible. i think you get my point.
5. no first person posts. you are narrating the story, there should be no "i" or "we" in your posts unless your character is talking.
order of things;;
1. first, you read the rules.
2. then, you go to register your character under the application category in the appropriate board.
3. you do not have to wait to be accepted unless you did not fill out the application fully. if must be a complete application or else your posts will be locked.
4. go to "face claim". if you have a celebrity's face you're using as your character, be sure to "claim the face" and post appropriately.
5. register your horse. each character may have up to two horses. no more than that. this can also be done in the application category.
6. have fun! go out and rp and make a plot with another member. ride your horse, do whatever you gotta do.
like all rpg's, this should be fun. more rules
may be added later when more members
are active and more things begin to happen
that i might have missed. thanks for read-
ing the rules, and have a great time on
SHADY LANE RANCH!!!!
