General Rules
Let’s keep this short and sweet - this is an all-inclusive community where interaction is not only encouraged but necessary for ensuring the overall success of the game. Not everyone will get along but above everything else, treat each other with respect. Recognize the boundary between IC and OOC conflict and try to resolve things as best you can by communicating directly with one another. If there is an escalated issue, mods are always available via the dropbox or private message - whichever you prefer. Please feel free to reach out at any time and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Keep in mind at all times that this is a hobby we are all here to enjoy in our own way and please allow everyone that courtesy.

Activity
INTRODUCTIONS: All members are required to make an introduction within 48 hours of being accepted into the community. As this is your first opportunity to interact with the game as a whole, we feel that it is important to engage right from the start. This being said, members must also reply to the majority of comments on their first intro post to demonstrate activity as part of the community.

WRITING: Members may post one written update, either public or private, of at least three substantial paragraphs or equivalent length. Because we are hoping to encourage writing and character development, this type of update will completely satisfy all activity requirements for the month. We do ask that you still remain active elsewhere but no further activity link will be necessary.

INTERACTIVE POSTS: In lieu of a written update, we will accept any manner of creative posts ranging from playlists to instagram to various topics of conversation. In order to satisfy activity for the month, we require two interactive updates. All comments on these posts must be addressed in order for them to count toward activity. We encourage you to engage within your own posts as well as others to help maintain interaction throughout the game.

HOW TO JOIN
Before you apply:
• • • PB choice must be age and ethnicity appropriate. We will allow PBs to age up to three years older or younger than their actual age. PBs must have some level of notoriety to be considered valid for use.
• • • Every member must have both a backdated friends only post and a backdated OOC contact post. These must be visible publicly, though comment screening is allowed and encouraged in OOC posts.
• • • Your character must have a basic outline posted somewhere in their journal including identifying facts such as their full name, date of birth, age, etc. What you choose to share is up to you but we want to see that you have at least a framework for the character you will be bringing to our game.
• • • Your journal may not include the NOEMBED code in its profile as we will be periodically checking that all members have their friends lists updated. You will receive one courtesy reminder about this rule before it results in removal.

Application Process:
• • • Acceptance is based on compliance with the above requirements as well as supplying quality writing examples. We require Two written scene examples of at least 4-6 replies from your character as well as two narrative or journal entry examples that best demonstrate your writing abilities.

Inquiries:
• • • All inquiries about the application process can be directed to the dropbox at any time. We are happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have about what falls within the requirement guidelines.
• • • We will address inquiries regarding rejected applications as they arise but do reserve the right to reject any application that does not meet the requirements or otherwise feels like an ill fit for our community as a whole.
