[/size]our lovely rules
Ah, we do indeed have a nice, polished set of rules to follow and abide by. We may even get them put on a plaque that way they are shiny. I advise that you do not break these, darling; if you would, your administrators will look down on you... and the terminator will be forced into action. No one wants this, now do we, love? So let's get on to business!
the basics
• If you join the hoard of the infected here on PLAGUED, please be active. By active I mean posting at least weekly, and not just in the OOC boards. Login at least every other day. How hard is it to save a password to your browser and hit enter?
• Do not violate ProBoards TOS. "User's web site may not contain content promoting the use of illegal drugs, alcohol, sex, pornography, nudity, or any other form of adult content, profanity, hate, "spam," fraud, racism, mlm, pyramid schemes, or promote any illegal activity."
I expect you to obey the TOS, and I do not expect to see any of this going on. Profanity is allowed here, though it's limited.
• Respect your fellow members. So your character may be more powerful than their puny slave, but that gives you no right to be mean to them. Be kind and courteous to all who come here, you never know what could be going on in their lives.
• I tolerate swearing, but keep it PG-13. This goes for everything. I cannont stress this enough. The little words are fine, sure, but f-bombs are not and will not be tolerated. 'Bitch' will be tolerated so long as it is in the proper terms. This does not mean you can give your character a female dog so they can run about screaming 'BITCH!'. No. You will be dealt with accordingly.
• Homosexuality, bisexuality, and transgendered characters will be allowed. Do not overdo it, however, because this privilege could be taken away. Everyone does not allow this and we like to allow the creative juices to flow; do not put a ban on creativity!
• Please do not spam the boards or do anything that may make a fellow member uncomfortable. You don't like feeling uncomfortable, so don't make us uncomfortable, k? Thanks. c:
characters
• You begin with a few basic abilities. One weapon. You may purchase more from Famine. She steals souls, so be careful.
• Elves, dragons, and drow are supposed to be rather rare. Because of this we will charge you for an additional character of one of these races. The money is strictly what you earn from posting, so don't worry.
• Masters each can pick one slave from the crop for free of charge. If you would like to have another slave, you will have to purchase them.
• No perfect characters. We all have flaws. As soon as you become perfect, let me know; I'll tell you just how wrong you are.
• Pending applications will be approved as soon as an administrator or other high being can get to them. Impatience will not be rewarded and can get you banned.
• If you would like your character to be a part of a village that has not yet been established, PM Plague. She creates the boards and stuff. Make sure you already of a description.
• We have no age restrictions, we just prefer to have semi-realistic characters.
• Everyone did not have a terrible past. Don't be too grim. Save that for later.
• Slaves can be owned by relatively anyone. You may also buy slaves. If you create a master, you can purchase your slaves through famine. Slave auctions and direct buys can be RP'ed in the boards after the initial purchase and transfer of funds.
• Please read the info and plot before creating your character.
regarding role-playing[/size]
• Sex is a no-no in the boards. If a relationship goes this far, take it somewhere else. Sex violates ProBoards TOS. We're good kids. We don't violate those. If this is seen in one of the boards you will be in the doghouse. A civilized person does not belong in the doghouse. Try not to end up there.
• Ah, babies. The little bundles of trouble and headaches themselves. Pregnancies are tolerated as long as a staff member give you permission. No permission, no baby.
• Do not power-play or god-mod. This is unacceptable. If you do not know what these mean, ask Famine. She'll be glad to explain. She also gives away free candy, but beware! Candy should not be taken from strangers. (Slave driver, eh? I'll show you. >:3)
• Do not kill another character without their owner's permission. I know it may be tempting to squash the annoying bug, but this would not be good. Save the drama for you llama, Carl. No feasting on hands.
ooc boards / c-box rules[/size]
• I trust you have read what infected had to say. If you haven't read his quip. He enjoys it when people pay attention to him. *shiver of excitement*
• If all you do is post in the OOC boards, you will be talked too. If you are plotting it is allowed. If you are not plotting, please post. I enjoy seeing people RP happily. Bring me joy.
• All of the basic rules apply to this section.
