The Rules
of Turn off the Lights
I've been the admin on a few sites and what I've learned in the past is that no one reads the rules. That doesn't mean this site won't have rules because that'll only lead to chaos, but there won't be as many as there are on other sites. Read the rules below. Memorize them, sing them in your sleep, whatever. Just know them because if you don't follow them you will suffer the consequences.
Rule 1: No spamming the site with useless threads.
Rule 2: I chose the fonts on this site for a reason. Please do not change font colors or sizes in anyway. That means in your post as well. It's annoying.
Rule 3: No killing someone else's character.
Rule 4: No mary sues. If your character needs saving every other thread you will be kicked out of the game. Violence is a must, but no one wants to run after your character in every thread.
Rule 5: Respect other people or their character. Do no badger them into plots with your character, PM them constantly to update, or harass them in any way.
Rule 6: If your character MUST sleep with another person's character please move your character to a new thread within the same board, mark that thread as MATURE and write your love scene. Try to keep this PG 13 people. No porn please. Fade to Black is your friend.
Rule 7: No all knowing characters. No one but the admin and those involved with making the plot will know what will happen in the future. Please do not attempt to have your character know everything before it happens. It's annoying as well.
Rule 8: No god modding other people's characters. That means if you aren't writing that character you CAN NOT say what that character is doing, thinking, about to do etc. Post like this WILL be deleted and you will receive a warning.
Rule 9: No pics in your post. It's annoying. End of story.
Rule 10: No super characters. This means no character who can shoot everything, jump over buildings in one leap, run at the speed of lightning or anything silly like that. People will play cops, but cops can't flip over buses, shoot hundreds of infected and avoid all attacks ALL of the time. Characters like this will be removed from the board.
Rule 11: If you have doubts about whether something will be allowed, don't do it. Simple as that.
Rule 12: The game will move in a linear fashion. That means events will happen one after the other, Tuesday will come after Monday etc. The admin will determine what day we're on. We may skip ahead days or take longer on important, plot provoking days. It'll all depends on what's happening in the plot. Please keep an eye out on the date. You'll be notified before hand when the day will change so you can end your thread etc.
Because of this rule your character can only be in one place at a time (I.e One thread at a time.)
Rule 13: This is not an rp that requires that you write long posts. We only require that your post be at least 7-8 sentences and add something to the plot. Longer posts are ok, but please do not spend your time writing 8 paragraph posts. It'll slow the rp down.
Rule 14. Have fun.
