Please make sure you read ALL of the information posted here before you apply! If you have any questions about any part of the rules, drop me a PM and I’ll answer your questions as best I can.
GENERAL RULES:
- You and your characters must be at least 18 to participate in this RP.
- Due to the ProBoards terms of service, RP-ing sex is not allowed on the forum. Players who want to RP sex between their characters should do so in private instead of on the boards.
- Please write posts in English and avoid things like chatspeak or lots of punctuation/grammar/spelling errors. You don’t have to be perfect, but other people have to be able to understand your posts!
- God-modding is not allowed. If you don’t know what god-modding is, check on Google or PM me.
- If you want to do a thread with someone, ask them! Don’t sit around waiting for people to come to you. Contact people by PM and post in their Plotting threads if you want to play with them, and make sure you have a Plots thread of your own so people can contact you easily if they want to.
CHARACTERS:
- You can have as many characters as you wish, but please start off with just one character, particularly if you have applied to play a canon.
- If you want to play a canon, please register with a non-canon username first. Hopefully this will help keep things neat and non-confusing for everyone. TO CLARIFY, because someone asked...If you want to play a canon, don't register as that canon until after your application has been accepted. Register under a different username first. For example, I play Axis but I "registered" for the forum as Shiori_hime.
- To make sure everyone who wants to play a canon gets a chance, at this time players wishing to play a canon can only play ONE (e.g. you can’t play both Rory and Xanthe).
- Canon characters are held to a strict activity policy: Canons MUST be able to post at least 2-3 times per week (of course you can post more if you want!). Canon players who do not post at least 2-3 times per week will be warned once, and if they continue to be inactive their canons will be opened for others to play. Original characters do not have a posting requirement, BUT if you are playing an original character and you might want to play a canon in the future, it’s a good idea to show the mods that you are an active player by posting 2-3 times per week as your character. Active players may also have the chance to become moderators in the future.
- If you need to take a hiatus from playing, please let us know! But also please note that a hiatus can’t go on forever.
- All characters (canons and originals) must fill out an appropriate character application and send it to a mod as a PM. Moderators will review your application and get back to you with an acceptance, rejection, or request for editing as soon as possible. Note that the applications for canons and original characters are slightly different so make sure you fill out the right one! All applications are judged on things like quality of writing, how well the character fits into the world of Teahouse, how well you capture the character in your writing (mostly an issue for canons), and how well your character seems to fit with the current group of players and characters.
- If multiple people apply for the same canon character and more than one of those applications are good enough to be accepted, the one that was submitted first will be accepted.
- PLEASE do not send an application for a canon character currently being played by someone else! You can check to see if a particular canon is available by looking at the canon list in the Open and Taken Canons board.
- You can add a bit of backstory for your canon character if you wish, but make that backstory vague or easy to retcon if the comic eventually provides a different backstory for your character. If you aren’t sure that you can make a vague or retcon-able backstory, feel free to find a creative way to leave that part of the canon character application unanswered without leaving it blank (take a look at my application for Axis when I post it for an example of how that might work).
- Send all applications to moderator Shiori_hime as PMs!
POSTING:
- As mentioned above, canon characters must post 2-3 times per week. Original characters do not HAVE to follow this policy, but it is highly recommended, especially if you think you might want to play a canon or become a moderator in the future.
- This RP is done in the paragraph format. That is, your posts are expected to contain full paragraphs made up of complete sentences.
- There is no maximum word count, but posts should be at least 150 words long on average. Sometimes posts will be shorter, but aim for 150 or more most of the time.
ANYTHING ELSE
- If you have any questions, contact the current mod/admin, Shiori_hime.
