the r u l e s !
[/i][/font][/center][/size]applications,
Here at Clover City it is not just boom, you're accepted. Members of our staff vote you in or out and provide feedback for your application. What we liked, what we didn't, pro's and con's. If you get four "yes" votes, you're in. If not, don't fret. You have all the time you need to read our comments and fix it up. At that point it's up to Red and I.
Why is this implemented? Quality control, baby.
However, people we have role played with before receive an EPIC WIN. Meanings they don't have to wait for us admin to get off of their lazy asses.
the murderers,
So, we thought it might be fun for the murderers to actually be kept a secret (this'll only work if you wanna keep your trap shut). If you're interested, PM either Red or myself letting us know and the judges will deliberate. Only do this after you've been accepted.
Trust us, we're experts when it comes to slowly deteriorating mental states.
red's graphic rules,
Hi. I'm Red. I'm here to tell you about graphics. Please, no nipples or nudity. Some members of our staff arebisexualboys, and it'll be too distracting for their tiny little brains.
Icons are 100x100px. Signatures may be no wider than 500px and no taller than 300px. At least not significantly larger. We're not as anal as we may seem.
moving on,
The first rule of Clover City is don't talk about Clover City.First and foremost, listen to and respect the admins and mods. If one of us asks you to do something, please do it, since it will be very important (or potentially hilarious at your expense <3). Brenny is a wanker.- This is a literate RP, so good spelling and grammar are expected. No, we're not going to execute you if you misspell a few words or throw in a few random punctuation marks, just be willing to learn from your mistakes. Trust me, if the spell check doesn't catch them, someone else will probably point them out to you (in the most loving way possible of course). Grammar doesn't apply to anything OOC (Out Of Character), just try not to lower our IQ with cr4z33 1337 5p33k d4wg.
- On a similar note, posts should be in third person and past-tense. Asterisks have no place in RP posts. For example:
"Woof!" exclaimed Lassie as she ran toward Billy, trying to explain that all she wanted was a goddamn steak.
This is what you should try to avoid:woof woof! *lassie runs 2ward billy bcoz she iz dum dog lol*- Posts should be at least two paragraphs long (around 300 words). Yeah, sometimes we just have the brain farts and can't come up with a lot, but as long as you hit about that mark you'll be fine.
- With that having been said, we're expecting quality over quantity. If you can make every post the size of an essay that's fantastic, but we don't want to read them. Theres no point in having 10 massive paragraphs if the whole gist of it is something along the lines of "Kay rolled over". That's happened before, no joke.
- No Godmoding, please. Godmoding only really applies to fights, and occurs when one person assumes their attack hits without giving their opponent a chance to respond. Here's an example:
Mort thrusted the scythe into Asher's stomach, releasing his intestines all over the ground.
Here's what you should do:Mort thrusted the scythe toward Asher, hoping to disembowel him.- No Mary Sues, thanks. A Mary Sue/Gary Stu is a character who seems to be practically perfect. Everybody has flaws, including (and especially) your character. Having a character that is pretty, likeable and all around perfect generally says quite a bit about the person playing them.
- You CANNOT, under any circumstances, use yourself as a play-by.
- If a character is a blatant rip off off of any movie, book television show or otherwise we will ask you to make it less blatant. Come on, make your own characters, guys.
- You can have a maximum of 3 original characters and 2 canons, but you can only have a total of 4 characters all together.
- Be active. If you're going away or having some trouble getting to a computer or something, just let us know. We're pretty
fucking hardcorechilled like that. If we don't hear from you for a month and you haven't given us a reason we'll just assume you're dead and use your characters as fodder for psychopathic serial killers and kindergartners. Oh, and please try to keep as active as possible. You have, unless stated otherwise, ten days to respond to a thread.- Don't be a jerk. Of course not everybody is going to get along, but you don't have to be a douche. If you have any problems with someone either try and sort it out with them over PMs or IMs, talk to an admin or mod about it, or just ignore the person. However, sorting out your own problems successfully is a good way to show everyone how mature you are. Whatever you do, do not bring it into the C-Box.
- On the other side of the coin, learn to tell the difference between what a character thinks and the player's actual opinion. Just because a character wants to kill yours it doesn't mean that the person playing them hates you. That goes for everything in character, so don't get your panties in a bunch when a character starts bitching about yours. It's just pretend, folks.
- If you haven't figured it out, this is a mature roleplay. That means there's gonna be sex, drugs, and
rock'n'rolla lot of swearing. Like, seriously. For this reason, we're not accepting anyone under the age of 14.Everyone under the age of 16 must get their parents' permission before joining.- If you have any questions or problems,
boo hoofeel free to contact Red, myself, Courtney, Raven, Timmay or Boston,as we have nothing better to doand we'll try to help you out.- Keep shit real. I mean, yeah, this isn't a very realistic roleplay, but when we say the majority of the population is human, stick to that. Not everybody is a student. Not every body is rich. Not everybody is an emo little gay boy. Hell, not everybody is gay. Just keep ratios even, 'kay?
- Not everybody has powers. Not everybody is a student. If one race or group gets too many members there will be a termporary ban on it.
- The password is in the last line of the first rule.
- Humans have the highest percentage in the city, though when it comes to those with power they are the lowest in rank.
We really hope you guys enjoy yourselves, and, as Mr. Tprobably neveralways says: "I PITY DA FOOL WHO DOESN'T FOLLOW THE RULES."
