[ADMINISTRATOR]

T H E . R U L E S

ONE - this rule is probably the most important in the whole set. respect the admins. we're not here to make you miserable, in fact we want the exact opposite. we made this site and we made it mainly so people like you could have a fun place to roleplay with some crazy characters, so please don't insult or even bash us. insulting is one thing, insulting and threatening (bashing) is even worse. we would never do it to you, so don't do it to us.

TWO - so number two is very similar to the first. respect your fellow roleplayers. we hate it when people take the rp fights to real life and start unnecessary arguments about whether or not your character did something that was justified. it's stupid and very immature. (pst! the phrase is 'stupid lamb') so please, keep the fights to the threads, no one wants to see them. and the staff doesn't want to deal with them.

THREE - when signing up for this site, you may register however you like. but, after you've figured out what your character's name is going to be, please change your display to the name all caps with a period at the end, like so: DAKOTA RILEY KINGSTON.
it makes everything flow better and besides, it looks pretty <3

FOUR - this site does have a word count. and that number is 100 words. i don't want to go overboard for those new to roleplay. so that will be the limit, but i would like to ask that you at least try to match the word count of the person you're roleplaying with. if they stick you with a 1000+ word reply and you can't handle that, i'll understand. but don't just give them a dainty little two paragraph reply either. just try to match your rp partner's posts, that's all i ask.

FIVE - Eclipse Breaks is a semi-violent site due to some violence during battle. the content on this forum must be kept to a PG-13 level or below. if this just isn't your cup of tea, turn your little tush around and walk away. i will not tolerate immature commentary from people who think violent sites aren't appropriate. in case you haven't noticed, it's hard to find an rp site these days that isn't rated mature or above. this one will be different.

SIX - now, about this little thing we love to call, the cbox. i would love it if you did the following, or, more or less, didn't do the following. do not spam, advertise in or bash the site/members of this site in the cbox. if it's a member that is doing this, i will confront you about it. if it continues, i will take action. (pst! the real phrase is 'until your heart stops beating') all advertising should be done in the forum designated for advertising. and spamming, well it's just not nice. the cbox is there specifically for communicating with other members and guests. not for you random typing pleasures. the third part of this rule coordinates well with the second rule. if i find people harassing other members or even guests harassing members, i will do something about it. so just please, don't do it.

SEVEN - alrighty, first off... i'm sorry these are so long! XD anyway, all in character posts should be typed up in third person, unless of course it's an in character then it doesn't matter. but, i've seen some pretty weird things and third person just makes it so much easier for everyone, don't you think?

EIGHT - NO GOD MODDING! if i find this, i will give you a warning. if it continues after that warning, i will suspend your account. it's rude and if you don't know what it is, then Google it.

NINE - onto those gorgeous graphics everyone loves so much. all icons must be 100x100, makes everything look prettier. you at least need that, but, if you're having a signature, it may not exceed 500 pixels in width and 400 in height. what does this mean? you are not allowed to stretch the board! that's what that means.

TEN - before roleplaying in any way, you must first post your application. once your application is accepted you may make all of your claims. and i mean all of them, it takes five minutes and i don't want to hear you complain that someone stole your face claim when you should've just claimed it in the first place.

ELEVEN - again, i'm sorry this is so long, but i promise this is the last rule. plot with people, if you see that someone has a plot request up and no one has replied to it, then you should reply to it. one, it's a nice thing to do and who knows, you might just come up with a great plot. and two, it'll help draw new members in. if they see that people are willing to plot with others, well okay it won't automatically make them join. but it will help their decision.
