[/b] Please try to use proper grammar. Chat speak isn't proper grammar, so please dun't typ3 liek dis. If you need help, PM one of the admins or moderators and we'll give you a mentor to help improve your writing.
2. Don't talk rudely to other members or admins unless you feel as if you're being treated unfairly. If you feel like you are being treated unfairly, please discuss it over with the staff to prevent drama.
3. Please, no slander.
Note from Roxxy: Slander to me is defined as "Any insults, harassment, or lies spread throughout the forum based on sex, sexuality, race, or religion." If I catch anyone doing this, you will automatically be banned for two days.
4. If you absolutely must yell at someone, hold your horses. Go get on Meebo or something so you can actually talk over it. PMs are a wonderful thing though it can be difficult to convey the message through scripted rants.
5. No pokemorphs, werewolves, sparkling vampires, gary/mary sus', or anything of the sort are allowed.
Edit: No Time Travelers.
6. To show that you have read the rules, please include somewhere in your first character application: "Prisoner B is a nice guy."
7. Absolutely no god modding or power playing.
8. Swearing is allowed, but not to the point where it becomes obnoxious.
9. Fairness is not guaranteed
10. Even if your thread is marked as a "mature" thread, you may not go into excessive detail about sex. Please just continue it on an instant messenger outside of the site.
((We used to have a Mature Board, but Proboards didn't like that))
11. When you first see Van, you must give him a brofist for how awesome he is. If You see Aphrodite/Eros, give her the biggest hug you can just cause she's amazing like that. If you are of the male gender, give Laz a brug (bro-hug), if you are female, a nice peck on his cheek shall suffice.
12. No histories that are so obnoxiously dramatic that they make most of society want to throw up.
13. We have no posting limit. Posts can be from two sentences to five paragraphs. Just please, try to match your RP partners posts. It isn't fair for one person to post five paragraphs and you reply with two sentences. If you are going to make a short post, please use proper grammar. Actually, use proper grammar even if you aren't going to make a short post.
14. If you're new to Roleplaying or you lack skills, you may be assigned a Roleplay Mentor. This person will help teach you how to roleplay properly without breaking rules.
15. One character per account, as many characters are you can handle. Your user name must be the same as your character's name.
16. No trying to find loopholes in the rules.
17. During your Laboratory Battles to decide which dorm you get placed in, the Tester does have the ability to decide which attacks hit and how much damage they do. Please remember, the testers are here to gauge your character's abilities. They are also all staff members, so you can trust them. We're here to make sure the threads go smoothly and quickly so you can head to the main RP.
18. You MUST stay in character. You're all students! Not professional Pokemon Trainers! You don't know all these amazing combos and moves if you've never handled Pokemon extensively before! If we catch anyone acting out of character, you will be warned.
19. You may not pit your Pokemon against each other in a battle. You need to battle wild Pokemon or other people's Pokemon for training.
