1. Every character should have both a first and last name. For instance : (Joe Shmoe) is an acceptable name. On the other hand, (Amy) or (soccerchamp221) is not. We will only sort you once you have a full name. Note: If you joined the site with an unacceptable name, thats OK. Just go into profile, hit modify profile and change your display name at the top of the screen.
2. Mild language is permitted, BUT try and keep it pg13 please. Absolutely no F-BOMBS.
3. Absolutely no sex, alcohol, or drugs.
4. Dating is completely OK. Holding hands, kissing, hugging, etc. Just try not to go to much farther than that. (If it does go much farther than that and you feel the need to play it out, I will make a private thread for the two of you where you can rp all you want.)
5. No God-playing, PERIOD. Example: Harry told Ron to go away, so Ron did. You are in control of your character and your character alone! Do not control other people's characters.
-Also along the same lines, if you are a first year don't do things out of your power. Example: Harry transfigured the tea cup into a golden trumpet or Hermione conjured a patronis which drove the dementors away. If you are a 5th or 6th year maybe, but not as a first year.
6. No killing players, no resurrecting players, and no dieing. (Unless you talk to either me or Wood about it firsts and get our ok)
7. Listen to your teachers. What they say is final. If you argue you will lose house points. (If you think you are being treated unfairly in some way, just mail me or Wood and we will sort it out).
8. You are not invincible, so don't act like it!
9. NO NET-SPEAK WHILE IN CHARACTER!!!! (This includes lol, brb, thnx, yw, w/e) If you want to talk like that in the OOC section, be my guest, but don't do it while roll playing.
10. All posts should be done in the third person
This also means everything must be past tense like the way a book would be. (ex. Zen walked into class and introduced himself) not (ex. Sen walks into class and introduces himself.) It is annoying.
11. Do the homework you are assigned. Its EASY!
12. You must pass at least 4 classes to move onto the next year.
13. No Flaming Please! Its just not nice.
14. Please wait to be sorted before role playing. The only place you should be posting before you are sorted is in the questions area, the sorting area, or the ooc area. (If for some reason you are not sorted within the first day or two, email an admin immediately and ask why. Be nice about it though. Its possible that you yourself made a mistake, or maybe the admin simply forgot.)
15. Multiple characters are allowed, but you must make two accounts. Playing two characters on the same account just gets confusing for everyone else playing. One person is not allowed to play two student characters, two teachers, or both a teacher and a student at the same time unless permission is attained from one of the admins. Acceptable character combinations include, but are not limited by, teacher and house elf, student and shop keeper, student and ministry worker,,, Also, if playing two characters means one of them is going to be neglected, I ask that you only play one.
16. Please make your very best effort to post at least once a day. We understand that everyone gets busy sometimes and that is completely fine. All we ask is that if you are going to play on this site, you try and keep up with your character.
17. We ask that you keep all your in character posts to a minimum of 3 lines. This keeps the dialogue productive and keeps things moving in the game.
