These are the rules. They are required reading. Failure to follow them will result in consequence. If something is unclear please ask. These rules are also subject to change if needed.
ROLEPLAYING
- We require that all accounts are active and posting. You must post at least once every two weeks to be considered at least reasonably active (canons and original characters alike). If you do not post for two weeks, you will receive a warning PM, and if you play a canon, someone can steal them from you. If you do not post an IC post for a month or sign in for three weeks, we reserve the right to delete your account. We will accept missing notes though, just please let us know if you are going to be inactive.
- Posts must be a minimum of 150 words. This gets rid of the chance of having one-liners and makes it easier for those who post longer to get more out of shorter posts.
- No godmodding or powerplaying.
- Please no mary sue's or gary stue's. I'd prefer not to have a bunch of almighty characters running around.
- No relatives of canon characters, please.
- Consult Damon or Jelly if you would like to play a hybrid.
- AS I LAY DYING is a PG:13 site. I understand that as a vampire site there is going to be violence and sex, but black out if its sex, and for violence use good judgement.
- If you have posted your app and have not finished it after 14 days, it will be automatically denied. You can PM staff members to move your WIP app back to pending so you can finish it.
RESPECT
- If a staff member tells you something... listen to them and respect them. I personally hate it when people argue with me.
- If you feel like someone is treating you unfairly, contact Damon.
- Don't spam. Advertise in the proper board.
- Plagiarism. Don't do it. I will deny all plagiarized apps and will not let you apply for a canon afterwards. I'll give you another chance if I see fit.
CLAIMS
- Please do not post in the claims section until accepted.
- Face claims must be of celebs. No myspace, youtube, or facebook people. You must able to get pictures without violating someone's privacy.
- Claims can be stolen if there hasn't been a post on that account in a month or they have not signed on in three weeks.
- Canons: please us the TV show actor.
