In the FAQ hopefully all your questions will be answered. But if it does not, PM me or another admin.
What is a canon character?
A canon character is a character that has actually originated from something. Ex: Gonzo the Great is a canon character from the Muppets.
Am I allowed to have an OC (Original Character)?
Yes, but message a mod about the idea first and try not to make him or her a Gary Stu/Mary Sue.
What is PMing?
PM stands for Private Message. It is like an email system already set into by joining the board. It is a great way to communicate Out Of Character (OOC) without having to make a thread.
How many characters am I allowed to have?
Currently, eight. Create one account for them.
How can I limit a thread to one or two people?
You just put the person's name in the title of the thread. Ex. Playing in the Yard (Fozzie).
What is karma?
It's a betch--just kidding. Karma is the little button underneath a user's name where you can exalt (give them points) or smite (minus them--dun do this unless it's to a troll. XP)
What does Godmodding mean?
This means that you posses the actions of other members.
Ex 1. WRONG WAY: Lips: *walks to the house and sees Zoot coming his way--sees the sax player hand him a piece of paper and watches as he walks off*
Ex 2. CORRECT WAY: Lips: *walks to the house and waits for Zoot to arrive*
I have never used a site like this before, how do I post my application?
This is not very hard. Once registered, you will find the applications board and a format for your app. Create a thread there and it will be sorted out within 24 hours. It will be sent to the accepted board, and all will be ready for you to RP!
How do I change the color of the writing?
There is a code that you must use. Ex. *Your writing* Then [/ color]. This is the same with any color you want and is found in all threads.
How do I make a character?
Follow the info stated in the question How do I post my application?
This is my first time RPing what do I do?
DON'T WORRY! :3 There are lots of people here to help you in this time of need. Also you can get the general idea from reading the posts made before you.
My app has not been dealt with for a while not, how come?
This is for many reasons. It was probably not done right. There will be a reply on the bottom telling you what is wrong, so then you fix it. Otherwise REDO your app.
I am going on vacation and will not be on for a few weeks, what will happen to my character?
There is a board in the first Sex and Violence category, and there you tell us so that we will not take away your character.
If you do not notify us, by the end of the month I get rid of characters that have been left inactive. I do not delete accounts, but I do take away the character. Upon your return and your character has not been taken you may PM me for it back.
How do I get a signature or avatar?
We will set up request shops here which can give you pictures, but you must put them on your account. You use a photo hosting site recommended Photobucket or Imageshack. You use this code: in the signature area of your profile. Any other complications ask myself or another Admin for help.
How do I check PMs?
At the top of the site where it says your Display name, it will tell you whether or not you messages. If so click the message and it will show your inbox.
How big can signatures be?
200(height)x500(width)
All the good characters are taken!
Everyone is a good character. This doesn't mean that they are the main character or minor character. Every character is unique. Therefore, why not go for the minor ones? You can turn minor characters into major characters if he/she has a big role in a plot.
Can I advertise my site here?
Of course! Go to the bottom of the site and there will be a board that says Advertise/Affiliation.
Can guests post?
Yes, but only in the Advertise/Affiliation board.
