Welcome To Towson City!
Welcome to Towson!

This is a large fairly famous city, with a lot going on. For years, there has been an unspoken, yet observed, rift between the rich, the poor, and the middle class. So, what will happen with your life? Will you join up with the rich, and become famous? The middle class, and be a normal person? It's all up to you.

General
You are to read all these rules carefully

By joining the site you are accepting these rules

No power Playing. This is when you control the other character play by another member, for example, Alex shot Brian, he died. You will receive 10% warning. First letter: R

No Big Eyes. No one can read another persons mind, so we do not want you to do this. Again you will receive 10% warning.

No Out of Character or Chat speak in In Character areas. So that means no lol, or 2 as too in role play.

What The admins says goes.


Joining
When joining we want your Application to be as detailed as it can be, we don’t care if you draw on, we want to know everything.

Wait until your are Accepted to role play

You will be either accepted or declined. If you are declined you have the chance to modify and change things.

Remember, no character is perfect. At all, no where near, everyone has their pro’s and con’s. So we don’t want to see Sexy Blonde Bomb Shells and Hunky Dudes, if we get too many we’ll just not accept them.

Be original, its unique.

Only one Character Per Account. Second letter: O

Content
Personaly, i am not offended by Sexual, Violent Threads etc, but i appreciate that other people are. We do allow Sex, Pregnancy, Violence, Drugs, Rape etc on the game but please make sure you lable any of those topics with R-RATED in the title so members know whats happening inside there. Third letter: C

Always make sure that you clear it with the other character if you are going to do something violent, its not fair when someone suddenly pulls out a gun and shoots someone in the head. Same thing with sex. If both players don't agree one whether or not their characters screwed, they never did. End ofstory. Fourth letter: K

Anything more than a Punch, Kissing, a Pill etc should be labled.
There will be literacy!

Signatures & Characters
We are only allowed one Character per account, but you may have as many accounts as you wish as long as you can keep them active, if not the inactive ones will be deleted. (All accounts with 0 posts after twenty-four hours will be deleted, unless the account's owner has a good reason.)

Signatures, these must not be overly large, we do not have a signature rule size at the moment so please don't make us have one. If your Signature is too big we will ask you to resize it, do not argue.

Characters are not perfect, so we don't want these drop dead gorgeous playboy blonde models or Hunky, Famous drop dead gorgeous, girl magnet guys. Make it realistic, everyone has their flaws.

Don't go posting in every single board. It's alright if you post with one character in two or thee or whatever, but not everywhere. Also, if I catch anybody doing something stupid with their characters Ex.: Shirley gets married to Bob in one thread, gets knocked up by John in another thread, and gets killed by Seth in another thread, all at the same time.) it will be one place at a time. Last letter: Y

If you need a Signature picture, ask around, or go to the Signature Images board. No super-huge signatures.


Posting:
When you post we need you to be able to at least make a good 5 line post, which we call a paragraph like most people. If you cannot post at least five lines this role play game is definitely not for you. We aim this game at Intermediate to Advanced and these people should be able to make multi paragraph posts. Many people join and try to get away with cheating, so i have created some examples of what if not accepted and what is and also how to make posts better.

Not Accepted:
Carey walked into the shop
"Coffee please."
She got the coffee and went and sat down.
She sighed and placed the coffee in front of her.
She felt very lonely and sad

LIKE COME ON!!! That is just pathetic.

Accepted:
Carey walked down the main high street towards the cafe that fitted in nicely with the rest of the street. She pushed open the door and she walked over to the counter where her eyes browsed the menu while she stood in the cue waiting to be served by the many waiters and waitresses behind the food counter. When it came to her turn she placed a friendly smile on her face and spoke clearly. "I'll have a coffee please." She said to the waiter, taking the money for the drink out of her pocket. When he returned she gave him the money and took the drink over to a table beside the window.

Also not accepted

"Hello," he said.
"Hello," she said back
"So what's up?"
"Not much, really..My dog died, but the ground is frozen so I can't bury him right now.."
"Aww, what breed was he?"

Yeah...no all-dialogue posts. Try to make sure about 2/3 of each of the posts you make are actions.

Making Posts better is very easy, we all know how horrible it is to post a really good post and have some reply with just a five liner, so remember the word CAT every time you post:
Character - Describe your character, what they are wearing etc
Actions - Describe what they are doing, how and where they are going
Tthoughts - all character as them, so let us know how they feel, what mood they are in etc.

Spell Check all your posts and use grammar and Punctuation.
Once more:
There will be literacy!!
