Rules 1.) This RP is rated "Mature". As such, all players and characters must be 18 or over.
2.) Net speak (lol, omg, ikr, etc.) should be limited to character journals only. It simply doesn't make sense to use it anywhere else.
3.) Don't start drama with other players. We're all just here to have fun. If you have a problem with another player, try to work it out maturely. If that doesn't work, let a mod know.
4.) No God-modding. Don't try to control what other people or characters say or do. If you want to say that another character did something with it being played, talk to the player. Also, your character is not omniscient. Just because you know something doesn't mean your character does.
5.) Mod approval is required for major plots (deaths, pregnancies, natural disasters- including scares and illnesses), and all players of characters affected by the plot must be consulted first.
6.) No Mary Sues or Gary Stus. They're annoying and nobody likes them.
7.) This game is for original characters only. You may not use a non-celebrity for a PB. Your character can't be a real person or a character from fandom. They can be modeled after a character, but they have to be different enough to be unique.
8.) Please keep your characters active. That means regularly updating their journals and participating in community threads. There are no specific regulations yet, but if your character is inactive too long, a mod will try to contact you. If we can't contact you, you will be asked to leave or simply removed, according to the mod's discretion.
9.) If you need to take a hiatus from the game, please let everyone know by posting in the out-of-character community. This community is can also be used to post questions intended for all players, brainstorm and plot, and to introduce yourself or a new character.
10.) This is a private game. Please post all journal entries as Friends Only and community posts as Members Only. Also, please make an effort to keep your Friends List current and add new characters as they are announced by the mod(s). This will help ensure that nobody misses anything.
11.) Please have your contact information posted somewhere visible in your character's journal.
12.) Posts and threads in character journals should be written and played in 1st person. Group posts in the community should be done in 3rd person. Please use the following form when posting in the community: Who: What: Where: When: Why: Warning:
13.) Don't be afraid to post or participate in Open-to-all threads in the community. In fact, we want you to. This is how characters get acquainted and plots are moved forward.
14.) If a journal thread is supposed to be a private conversation between two characters, please mark it as such in the comment title to avoid confusion. If a thread in the community becomes NSFW, please mark it accordingly, as well.
15.) The mod(s) reserve the right to add, remove, or adjust rules at any time as needed. If you have any questions, please contact us.
16.) Please type "Rock N Soul" in the title of your application to let us know that you've read and agree to the rules.
