If you have any questions, please post them here. This will be updated as questions are asked.
About the Site
Who runs/owns this site?
I own it. The rest of the staff help me run it.
Who creates the skins/backgrounds for the site?
I do.
Will you help me with my site?
No.
How can I help out?
By following the rules, mostly. It makes everyone's lives easier and rping will be a lot more fun. Feedback via "site update" threads as well as PMs are greatly appreciated.
How can I become a member of the staff?
I appreciate your interest. There will be an announcement made when there are staff positions available. You may apply then. Please do not pm a staff member about becoming staff.
I disagree with a mod/admin. What should I do?
PM me. I will discuss the matter with each of you and make my decision accordingly. If it's me you have a problem with, PM another staff member and they will discuss it with me. Please keep the disagreements to private messages.
Is there a character limit on OOC posts?
No there isn't. However, one word posts will be deleted as they are considered spam. If you don't have anything to add to the conversation, please don't bother to post.
What is Karma?
If you do something a member likes, he can exalt you. Or if you do something they dislike, they can smite you. You can do the same. It's not that big of a deal. Yes I can see who smited/exalted you. And no I won't tell you who.
What kind of threads may I open in the General Board?
Anything your heart desires. You can talk about movies, video games, TV. Anything so long as it is not offensive or violates Proboards Terms of Service.
About RPGing
What do I have to do to rp?
Create a character. Simply post his/her profile and wait for approval. Once approved, you are free to jump right on in.
Can I be a character from a TV show/cartoon/Anime/video game?
No. Blatant ripoffs will be rejected.
Why is there a character limit on in character posts?
Because I would like to maintain a quality rp board. Besides, it is quite annoying to have a partner who only replies with one word or a sentence every time.
What is the main storyline?
The main storyline is a driving force for the board. However it is not the main driving force. The side plots created by the students attending the school is. The main storyline will progress gradually. And information about it will be released as it progresses.
Can I participate in the main storyline?
You sure can. As long as a thread for the main storyline is open, any member can participate.
What is this "Contact Book"?
It is a fun way to keep track of your character's relationships in the rp. If you are unaware of how to do it, just take a peek at the other threads for an idea of what to do. Having a contact book is not required. But it is fun.
Are NPCs allowed to have contact books?
No. They're not permanent characters.
How long do I have to complete my profile if I post it as "incomplete"? What happens if I do not complete my profile in a timely manner?
You have two weeks from the date you posted it. If it is not completed within that time, you will receive a warning and have 24 hours from your next login to respond. If you do not, your profile will be deleted from the board.
What will happen to my character(s) if I become inactive?
If you have not contacted me or another staff member about an absence and you have not logged in for 30 days, your character(s) will be placed in the Profile Archives. After another 30 days, they will be deleted permanetly from the board. So please back up your profiles. It is not *MY* (and by extension, my staff's) responsiblity to do so.
Also, your account will be deleted after 30 days of no activity. Simply log in every 30 days to keep your account.
