Rules
1.) Be sensitive. War is serious, suffering is serious, natural disasters are serious, ect. We will undoubtedly be rping issues like that, and you need to handle it in a mature fashion. This means NO holocaust/mass casualties/Nazis/atomic bombs/natural disaster jokes. They are not ‘lawlarious’. On the other hand…
2.) Don’t be over-sensitive. Yes, this rp will doubtlessly dip into some unfunny stuff, but don’t cry offense at every little thing. We are rping nations, and all nations are chock full of unpleasant and bloody histories. Don’t join if you’re easily offended.
3.) Word minimum is 150, and word maximum is 800. Stick to both. C:
4.) Pretty posts: Aren’t mandatory, but if you’re the type of person who can’t/doesn’t want to make posting tables, then On The Edge is a good resource for finding them. You don’t have to use one, but if you don’t then keep your post’s font size at ‘1’ for neater looking posting.
5.) Don’t post anywhere until you’re accepted.
6.) Post at least once every two weeks please.
7.) You can have up to three characters, but must have ten posts to make a second and thirty posts on each account to make a third.
8.) You have a week to post a WIP after joining, and a week to finish a WIP or revision. After that, it’ll be archived.
9.) Don’t start OOC drama. Just cause you disagree with someone’s portrayal of a country does not mean you have the right to badmouth them.
10.) KNOW ABOUT THE COUNTRY YOU PICK UP TO RP. Study up on them so you can make an accurate attempt. Look at their history and how they are today and factor that into their personality and world views.
11.) Listen to the mods.
12.) Change your username to your character's first and last name in caps before posting anywhere.
13.) Good spelling and grammar are key. Please have a mastered grasp of the English language before joining. Also follow the rules of good style when writing. Be concise and clear, and don't thesaurus-rape or endlessly go on in purple prose.
14.) Avatars can be 110x250, and sigs have to be small to compensate that fact. Don't let them stretch the page.
15.) HAVE FUN~!
EDIT:
16.) New rule about fcs! You may change your fc ONCE. If you haven't rped with them yet, you can change your fc by asking in the face claim thread. If you have rped with them, you must use a fc that looks similar to the old one, but mention how your character dyed their hair or whatever and list the reasons they did. A little list will be added to the fc claim saying who has used their change already.
