The Rules « Thread Started on Feb 20, 2008, 6:22am »
General Rules_
-Respect your fellow members. I don't want to see or hear any forms of racism, sexism, or anything extremely offensive towards other members. It's uncalled for and quite frankly, i hate it and won't stand for it. If you have a problem with the member, please do not bring it onto the board.
-If you get into an argument with another member please take it to PM, E-Mail, or AIM, Yahoo, MSN, etc. I don't want to see abuse in the cbox or in posts were guets can wander in and see. It's not exactly nice for them to see, and it really brings the board down. And if i see it, warning WILL be given out. If it gets out of hand come tell me and i'll sort it.
-NO CHAT SPEAK!!!!!!!!. You may ONLY use it in the CBox and the games area. If you wish to tell a member something in a post put this [[OOC: write here ]]
-Please use spellcheck, its quite helpful. I know that different countries have different spellings, so i shall respect that. And believe me, yours truely has had some trouble with spelling. I shall ignore over complex words, as long as people can make sense of it, then it's fine. But small words such as happy etc is annoying. So please SPELLCHECK
-ONE character per account. You can have up to 3 accounts. If you want more please PM me and i'll think about it. But you must remain active with each account.
-Your display name must be the first and last name of your character. NO unnecissary names like no.01rules. So after you've signed up for a character please change it. It's not hard to do. All you have to do is click profile then modify profile. And please use CAPITALS password1:dechagney
-Feel free to suggest things, that is what the suggestion box is for. I love to hear from you all about things that would improve

In Character Rules_
-All posts must be at least three decent sized paragraphs. That is really not much to ask of you. I'd really prefer if you try. It's not too hard to do. Just over explain things. I will be putting up a help thread to show you how you can manage it. I know it can be hard, even I struggle with it. But please try
-You may not kill another character without the player's permission.
-When applying for a character make sure you include this This is so i know you've read the rules. If it isn't in there, i won't accept your character untill it is.
-NO GODMODING/POWERPLAYING. I will give examples if you do not know what it is. BAD - Bob threw a stone at Ed, it hit him in the eye and he fell to the ground.No! Not good! You CANNOT control other characters. That is the reason they have a player. It should've been like this. GOOD - Bob threw a stone at Ed, hoping to hit him in the eye and possibly cause him to fall to the ground.
-Please give your character's flaws. EVERYONE has them
-Remember to always stick to the time period you are in. People aren't going to be driving around in cars (cars = 1890's) or wearing miniskirts and halter tops. Horses and carriages or walking are your means of trasnportation, as well as a train depot. Clothes.. Women wore bustle dresses with corsets, petticoats, etc., etc. Men usually wore a suit of some kind, cravat, and such. Also, propriety was a large subject. Manners were important. Though if your character completely rebels against this, fine with me. Just realize that typical ladies and gentlemen followed propriety rules. password2: Miranda Richardson
-Romantic relationships are allowed, yes. Sex, yes (althought like said above, propriety-wise women would not lose their virginity until they were married) but please make sure that if your thread contains sexual content (some people find this disgusting and/or inappropriate, please respect that) please label the thread with an [R].
-Violence is allowed as well. Again, if it becomes graphic please label it with an [R]
Canons_
-IF YOU AUDITION FOR ERIK OR RAOUL, YOU MUST BE ABLE TO POST AT LEAST 400 WORDS. I know it sounds harsh but its only because their major characters
-You are expected to be more active then other members, and you must keep up with your posts. It might sound hard, but as a canon its only fair. If you are going to be absent, post in the absence thread.
-You are also expected to have better quality posts then original characters. So more length and detail. Its easier for other people and there's so much you can say. Even for Erik, yes, hes complicated. But use that to your advantage.
-Stay true to the canon, small details like Erik's last name or his families names can be decided by the person role playing him because we're never certain. But I don't want to see major changes like Raoul turning out to be gay. It's not staying true to how they were written. So please don't do it.
Housing_
-Manors, cottages, and small flats are availiable. Please keep it realistic. If your character cannot afford a manor, do not request one. If your character has a wealthy family then yes, you may have a manor.
-Make sure you request them in the proper board. And remember to code them
-It's very very unlikely that someone working in the streets or in the opera house would live in a large house. They'e more likely to live in a small run down house or a dormitary because they don't earn much, so keep this in mind.
Status_
-High status people don't tend to work. It was a common thing for them to just sit around or go for strolls. They had too much money so they didn't need to work. Some however did, but it wasn't looked highly upon so keep that in mind.
-Lower class people tended to be those working on stalls or in markets and those working in the opera house. It was rare that a middle class person or a high class person would have one of these jobs. Entertaining was left for the poorer people to do. However, if you feel it is right, you may have someone of a higher class work in the markets or opera house. But you'll have to keep in mind that they wouldn't be popular because of it.
