Forum Rules
Important: Before registering for an account read this. This forum is slightly different than others when it comes to registration. First you are not allowed spaces in your user name so you should format it as so with your characters full name
JohnDoe
Then once you are registered you will be able to change it to the proper format. You can change this by selecting Profile> Modify Profile> Display Name. We ask that you change is to the proper formating as followed:
John Doe
ALSO: For some reason this board does not allow you to change your date of birth after you register. So, please make sure that the age given on your account is your character’s age. Because you will not be allowed to change it once you start.
Easy enough? Moving on.
1.) We are a texted based role playing game based on The Hunger Games novels. However, our story takes place about 75+ years before the first book back in the times before the original District Revolts that lead up to the Panem that we can read about today.
2.) This board does not have an age limit on it, but we do ask that you are mature enough to handle mature themes. However. the material on this board might not be suitable for children under the age of 16.
- 2a.) Cursing is allowed on the boards In Character. Please refrain from curing Out of Character and NEVER curse towards other members of the board. This will get you banned.
- 2b.) Romanic relations are allowed on the board. However, we are implying the lovely “Fade to Black” system if things get too physical for the general public.
- 2c.) Violence is allowed on this forum. However keep in mind that playing an axe murderer would be fun but let's try and keep this realistic.
3.) We do not have an official word count posting limit here on the board, but we do ask that you make each post meaningful. Please try to have at least two to three paragraphs per post in the In Character areas. We also ask that you do not post anything Out of Character with in the In Character areas other than to out a thread or to state permission given from the driver for an action towards their character.
4.) Please use proper spelling and grammar while on this forum while in the In Character areas as well as the Out of Character area. And we ask that you do not add any special coding to In Character areas. All texts should be the default forum color and alignment. And colored text is only allowed for NPC. Each character in each thread is allowed one NPC. The only way to be allowed more is in a private thread, you are allowed as many as you wish there as long as each post in coded into a different color. Private threads are for character development and plot purposes.
5.) You will not pester people about replying. If they have not replied to your thread within a reasonable amount of time (let’s say five days) you are allowed to PM them ONCE. Harassment and pestering are not allowed and you will be banned for doing it.
6.) If you are going to be gone from the forum for a while please state so in the Vacation thread. We do not want anyone worrying about you.
7.) You are allowed to have as many threads as you like on the forum. Only you can know how many you can handle. We do ask that you do not overload yourself, that would be unfair for the other drivers.
8.) Seeing as we are just starting out we are allowing you to have three characters. Each character should have their own account and be approved separately. We also ask that you do not have more traveling characters than those that are from District 13.
9.) MOST IMPORTANT GOLDEN RULE OF RP We are a nice forum. We will not allow harassment of other drivers. We require that everyone be respectful towards one another, even if your characters do not like each other very much. If you do not wish to thread with someone please decline nicely. You will be banned if you are found breaking this rule.
Forum Signature/Graphics
1.) We ask that each character have a play by. And we ask that your play by be an actual human being. However, we do not allow this to be a self portrait. There are enough celebrities running around Hollywood for you to use.
2.) Please, keep avatars no larger than 200x200.
3.) Please keep signatures no larger than 500x250.
4.) Please do not post images in IC posts. Instead, embed the link.
