Every forum has their rules. This forum has a bit of an odd plot, so we're not expecting meticulous research and for you to play your character perfectly. This is a strange AU to translate a country into, and we understand that. The point of the role-play is to have fun, so let's make sure we do so!
The current mods are Arthur Kirkland and Wang Yao.
General Rules
1. Check the available characters list first and make sure the character you want isn't already taken. Register under the name of the character you want to play to reserve them. If they're an OC or the country does not have a name, please come up with a name first. The application form is in a thread in the school administration folder.
2. Fill out the form and post it under the school administration folder. You will know they are accepted when they move to the Accepted Characters folder.
3. If there's a character you want yours to be associated with, please talk to the role-player about it first. It minimizes the confusion.
4. OCs, states/provinces, and genderbends are accepted here!
5. There will most likely be a time where you'll need to substitute an NPC teacher. Don't be afraid to do so if that's what keeps the role-play moving. On the topic of teachers, the school's actual rules are determined by common sense. Rather than writing a whole new set of rules, use what you remember from school.
6. Romance and violence are accepted (where would a role-play like this be without action?). Some pranking is even highly encouraged. But please, avoid power-play, don't kill anyone, and do talk with your fellow role-players to work things out.
7. This is a T-rated forum.
8. All threads not marked "CLOSED" are considered open to any character (within reason). Take care to make sure that your private threads are labeled. Dorm threads are generally closed to the occupants of the dorms and anyone else who finds out the numerical passcode of their dormroom. Team-specific sections are closed to the members of the respective teams unless stated otherwise for plot reasons.
9. Please be kind and courteous to your fellow role-players; work things out with them if you have an issue about anything. If you have a dispute out of character, don't carry it into the role-play.
10. I imagine this forum is going to get a little crazy, but time paradoxes are a little too crazy. Please, check the plot updates so you know what time period we're role-playing in and what has happened so far.
11. Correct grammar is expected, but we understand everyone makes mistakes. This is not a chat style role-play, so write in paragraph form. However, we are not expecting paragraph after paragraph; write as much as you're comfortable with. (Preferably at least 4 sentences per RP post. Also, be sure to roleplay in the third person point of view).
12. Please, try to post at least once every week. If you're going to be away, leave a notice. We all have lives outside of the internet. Just let us know you're alive and you still want to be an active player in the chat if you can't meet this rule. Keep in mind, we still want you around and posting. It's more fun that way!
13. When you begin a thread, please place the date of the thread in brackets, followed by the title, and finish with any additional notes. For example: [October 10] Wang Yao's Harem
14. In this particular roleplay, there is an information-gathering variable. Especially if you have one character on the blue team and one character on the red team, keep in mind that what you know as the roleplayer doesn't mean this information is also accessible to your character. (If your red team member knows something about their fellow team member, this information does not automatically travel to the knowledge bank of your blue team member.)
15. If you think you can keep up with more than one character and still post regularly, you are very welcome to app for more than one character. The current maximum is at two characters; one canon and one genderbend/OC. If you'd still like more, please contact a mod.
Chatbox
1. This is here so you can have fun casually chatting with the other members. It's ooc and is not a part of the role-play.
2. However, that doesn't mean the general rules do not apply. Please keep in mind this is a T-rated forum. The chatbox is open to all, so please keep obscenities to a minimum. Excessive abuse of the cbox will result in temporary suspension of your account.
3. Yes, you are allowed to assume names in the cbox that don't belong to you. This does not mean that you are allowed to hide behind another name to insult another person.
>9000. That being said, please have fun! If you have any questions, PM the mods.
