Taken/Holds

Sun, 23 Sep 2007 20:50:38 GMT

Holds will each last 48 hours and if an extension is needed, it will be granted. Keep in mind that this community is not first come, first serve, so even if a character is on hold, you may still challenge the role. If a hold has a G next to it, it means that the celebrity has a guaranteed hold and cannot be overridden. P signifies the applicant is pending. So get your holds in now before it's too late.

Rules

Sun, 23 Sep 2007 20:49:12 GMT

1. The most important rule in this community is to keep OOC and IC separate. We all know never to cross this line, so don't do it. No one wants someone to ruin a community, right? So keep things separate.

2. Journals and AIM screen names cannot have excessive underscores, x's, or numbers. In addition, both must pertain to your character by including either a first or last name, or a nick name. Have a disclaimer in your user info before applying. Be original; do not use your PB's first or last name for your character, etc. Make it all up.

3. Update your character's journal once every three weeks. There will journal checks and there will be a warning given before removals are done. No one liners. Have a first entry up (two paragraphs or three) of a background history of your character. Please do not use the small font. It's hard to read for some of us.

4. Since this is a city based community, PBs of all ages are allowed here, but the age limit for them would be 18 and over. We do not want immaturity going on in this community. This is New Orleans and half the people are mature around here.

5. The mod must be notified of any mature storylines (i.e. pregnancy, rape, etc.) taking place. This is a city based community and we want everything to be as realistic as possible, but we don't need over five weddings and ten pregnancies going on. Please, no excessive drama. Slash is allowed.

6. If you need to go on hiatus for a period of time, let the mod know or post in the OOC journal to inform us that you need to be put hiatus and we will make sure that your character will not be overriden while you are on your hiatus.

7. Participate with AIM scenes at least once or twice a week to ensure us that you are active in the community. Make sure you talk to at least everyone so you will get to know them and you will have something to update on. Do not join and just ignore the community. You will be removed.

8. Be sure to pimp out the community once you are accepted in order to gain new members and help boost your storylines. It’s a great way to meet more people.

9. When applying, be sure to add all the communities and make sure you read all the rules so you're not forgetting any information.

10. Remember to have fun, be mature, and keep pimping the community out to get more people to join!

Quick guide to remember:

This community is based in New Orleans. This is not the actual city of New Orleans. It is merely used for portrayal in roleplay. All of the journals that you see here are strictly used for RPG and they're only a form of entertainment. Everything is fake. There are no real celebrities or musicians here. Anything pertaining to real life events or people are merely coincidence.

For those who are wondering about the whole Hurricane Katrina and the city being in ruins, follow this.
