QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS!
Have any questions? Check here to see if there are answers! If there isn't an answer here for you, then please, feel free to PM the Admin, Ashe!
Q. "I want to RP a very important person along the lines of the mayor, or police chief, can I?"
A. If you want to make a character like those, it'll be best to PM the admin first.
Q. "What about their son and/or daughter?"
A. If the spot is taken, then you'd have to take it up with that person. If not, PM the admin first.
Q. "What do you mean by you don't care for literacy with labels?"
A. In all honesty, we basically mean this: we just don't want people to be hung up in length. Write to entertain yourself and others, and we most likely won't have issues.
Q. "How many threads can my character be in at once?"
A. You can be in as many threads as you can possibly handle. Just remember to keep them in chronological order.
Q. "If I have a cool idea for a board, and it's not there, what do I do?"
A. Simple! PM Ashe and she'll work something out! No promises, though!
Q. "What happens when the character limit on my signature runs out?"
A. Seeing as it's necessary to link all your characters in your sig, this problem may come often. If you have a lot of characters and their links can't fit in your signature, PM the ADMIN, and she will give you a censored word code to put in it using whatever format you fancy.
Q. "What is 'too much' on a character in terms of tragedy?"
A. "An orphan adopted by a pedophile who was forced to see her best friend murdered by muggers and is bullied by everyone at school." Yes, things like this we'd rather stray away from. You can have tragedy in your past, but once it becomes nonsensical then there's an issue. Also, when there are tons of people with tragic pasts already; New Haven City does have crime, but not to the point where everyone and their mother has been raped/murdered or what have you.
Q. "Do our characters ever age?"
A. No...as of yet. Until I can come up with a good way for everyone to age without it going all to hell. Until that happens, then no, your characters aren't going to age.
Q. "Will there ever be sub-plots or a long-running one?"
A. As of yet, no. Mini "plots" can be made between members, but a site wide one isn't planned. Any ideas and you can drop me a line.
Q. "If we ask nicely, can we ever make more than five characters?"
A. No.
Q. "Do we have to pretty up our posts?"
A.No you don't, although to differentiate your characters it'd be nice to have their name somewhere in the post, haha.
Q. "Can I break from reality every once in a while?"
A. Simply put, no. The farthest you can break from reality is to have weird colored hair be natural, aside from that I shouldn't be seeing flying people.
Q. "Can we name our characters dumb things like 'Slash Nightsalker?"
A. Let me answer this question with a question; Would you name your child Slash Nightstalker?
Q. "Where's the C-Sheet?"A. Character Creation link to the right, or the thread in the I.D Database.
Q. "Where, exactly, is this located?"A. To put it simply, it's on earth, but in a made up country in a made up continent; or, that's as simple as I can put it.
Q. "What sort of government does this place run with?"A. Think of the US capitalist system.
Q. "Can I make a business/etc?"A. Yes, you may. Don't expect a sub-board, however. You may have a business; just make a thread in what you think is in the appropriate board.
Q. "Can I role-play sex here?"A. No, please don't. I was actually on a site that got taken down because there were threads with sex, even when it was password protected. If you really get your jollies out of role-playing sex, then do it somewhere else, not on here.
Q. "Can I bring in canons from [series] and role-play them here?"A. No, you cannot. You may take their face for your face claim, but you may not actually play them.
Q. "Does my avatar have to be related to the site?"A. Nope! Want a crocodile doing a loop de loop? Go right ahead. As long as it's not overly offensive or porn, then it's totally fine.
