These guidelines are to be followed to make the site a more fun and friendly place, and keep order in the roleplays.
General[/li][/ul]
- As on every other nice, try and be nice to each other. If you have a serious issue with someone, take it up with a member of staff.
- This site is M-rated (or a 2-2-3 in RPG Rating terms); violence and mild sexual themes may or may not appear. You do not have to participate in any sort of thread you don't wish to, and obviously when roleplaying mature themes don't go overboard. When it comes to sexual stuff, please 'fade to black' when it get's down to the nitty-gritty. If you absolutely HAVE to play it out, do it somewhere outside of this site.
- You must be over the age of thirteen to join the site, which also complies with the Proboards ToS.
- Roleplay posts should be, at the very least, 80 words long. Obviously quality overrides quantity any day, but it's unfair on others involved in the thread if you are writing consistent one-liners.
- This is an account-per-member site, which means you can have all your characters on one account.
- Swearing is permitted both in and out of character, however when not roleplaying please keep it to a minimum.
- You can have any avatar you wish, providing it isn't overly gory, and doesn't contain any nudity or other obscenities. The avatar can be any height, within reason, but please keep the width no bigger than 110 pixels.
Characters
- Post your character bios in the Pending board and wait for a member of staff to accept it before you roleplay that character. However, feel free to set up a log or plot thread for that character while you wait.
- If you create a child character, then you or someone else must roleplay their parent, or they must be over the age of eleven years old. Try to limit the number of under 11s you have to 2-3.
- The Information thread is where you will find military ranks and information for the alliances. If you're confused about a certain aspect of the site or the historical facts, general information can be found here.
- Auditions for canons and important roles are available if you wish to have an important military role, or wish to apply for and/or set up user-made canons for sub-plots.
- Bans/Limits: For now, Patriot soldiers must be in either the 1st New Hampshire, 2nd Massachusetts or 2nd Continental Light Dragoons regiments. British soldiers must be in either the 54th or 23rd regiments. Once all regiments on a side are sufficiently filled out enough, characters can be placed into another regiment, and once that one is filled up, another - and so on. This does not apply to historical figures assigned to certain regiments, Naval units, or to French, German etc. units, or cavalry or artillery units.
Roleplaying
- Liquid time IS allowed. This means your character may be in more than one thread at once, however try to remain active in all of them.
- Slaves are permitted on the site, however they can be released by another character or their owner, or run away, providing all parties involved agree.
- Fights between characters are permitted, and the outcome is up to the players involved to decide on. Your character may be killed in a fight, however the opposition can not do so unless you give your consent. Remember that if your character dies, they obviously cannot come back, and serious injuries obtained in a fight may have consequences later on in the roleplay.
