rules
-site rating is pg-13. most of you should know what does and does not apply, but for those of you who do not, there will be no heavy duty cursing, detailed sex (use fade-out please), super bloody gore, etc. not only is it uncalled for, it could very well be the cause of site removal.
-all levels of writing skill are welcome, but we do ask that you keep up a 300 wordcount when in-character posting. i understand sometimes life gets in the way and you run out of inspiration, but it's considered rude when your partner gives you a good, solid post and you write a one-liner. give them something to work with!
-when registering, please use all capitals and legit names. for example: JOHN DOE looks much more appealing than ilurvesuckerpunch01. you can always change your screen name.
-no advertising in the cbox. there is a board for showing off your own website. this includes linking and encouraging a fellow member to join. keep it to personal messaging.
-when applying for a character, please use the provided template. we don't need the information scattered around the application all willy-nilly. filling in the sections we've provided makes our lives incredibly easier.
-do not, under any circumstances, post in-character until your character has been accepted. no exceptions.
-liquid timing is allowed. therefor, your character may be in numerous threads at once. just don't have them running all around the world in a short period of time. keep it as realistic as possible.
-you may reserve a celebrity face claim/playby when applying for a character, but the reservation only lasts for a week. can't have one person hogging up a popular face claim and never doing anything with them.
-avatars cannot exceed 100x100 pixels. if you go over and stretch the board, i will remove it. same for signatures. if it stretches, it's gone.
-harrassment and fighting will not be tollerated in the chat box or in out of character posts. keep it to a pm. if another member makes you feel uncomfortable in any way, pm me and i will see that the problem is fixed.
-no powerplaying or god-moding. this means either taking control of another member's character or making your own invincible.
- each character will receive a rooming assignment shortly after acceptance. depending on the character's mental state, they will either be put in solitary confinement, or placed in a dorm with one other character.
-if you and a fellow member are planning something big, like death, pregnancy, marriage, etc., please both parties pm me asking permission. we can't have an asylum full of babies and dead bodies.
-many characters will see the asylum in a different way. for example, babydoll imagines it being a brothel when first admitted. some may picture it as a hotel, a club, or just one big community home. this may be confusing at times when roleplaying with someone, so make sure you clear things up before jumping into a thread.
-IMPORTANT! if an inmate sees something or attempts something, and you do not wish for them to die, you may pm me and have a lobotomy session arranged. the procedure will completely wipe out the patient's memory, and they will be in a sort of catatonic state for a while. though if the same thing happens twice, the character will be killed, no question. it is very unlikely for a violent team of staff to spare a life once said person discovers something fishy with the business.
happy threading!
