Shameless Plugging
Okay so as some of you know I had an old board called Chaos Haven, but it didn't really work out in board format, so we've decided to try something similar in a journal setting, however we opted to use Greatest Journal intead because you get 2000 userpics for free, which is cool. Anyway...
COMMUNITY RULES
First and foremost, this is an RP (roleplay) based community. This means that it is in no way real, nor do we the players believe it to be so. We are merely creating a universe in which we can better our writing skills and have a little fun.
This is a multi-fandom based RP. This means that all genres are welcome. Anything goes, but you must follow the guidelines laid out in the rules. They are as follows.
1/ Apply here
Then you MUST send an email to chaosuniversityadmins@gmail.com, with the following information provided.
a/ A working journal. This means you must set up a journal and apply with that.
b/ Your character's name and where they are from (the fandom). If at all possible, who they are played by, for those that do not know. Later on, your user pictures will help with that.
c/ What position at the school that your character will be in. This means you MUST tell us whether you wish to be a student, professor, groundskeeper, etc. If you wish to be a professor, please specify the course you will be teaching.
d/ Once you've been accepted into the community, add it to your friends list, then please join the OOC community found here. Again, upon acceptance to that community, add it to your friends list.
e/ Now that you are a member, please add pres_leopold, deanluthor, and chosencounselor. From there, you must manually add members to your friends list. It's simple enough. You can find the friends list in the actual community.
An example entry application should look something like this;
Journal: pres_leopold
Character Name: Leopold Alexis Elijah Walker Gareth Thomas Mountbatten, Third Duke of Albany
Nicknames (if any): Leo, Leopold, Your Grace
Position: president
Your Fandom (where the char is from): Kate and Leopold
Played by: Hugh Jackman
AIM SN: this is not necessary at first, but it is a good idea to provide one that coincides with your character of choice.
A Little Bit About: Leopold is a 19th Century Duke, straight out of 1876. He's charming, intelligent, self-assured..blah blah blah.
You get the point. Make sure that we, the admins, are fully aware of who your character is. It makes for better interaction.
Once you've set up your journal, please put basic information about your character on your user info page and add a disclaimer. A sample disclaimer could look like this:
This is an rp. I am not Leopold, nor am I Hugh Jackman. I am simply borrowing the character and the face for the purposes of entertainment.
Also, please put a disclaimer link to this community. If it is not in your user info, you will be asked to put it there immediately. We do not wish to infringe upon any rights here.
2/ Now that you are a member, you must interact with others. Comment as much as possible. The community will thrive on comments. If you are commented by either the president, dean, or the counsellor you MUST reply. Do not fear them (for the most part), they are there to play as well. If you see them about, don't hesitate to speak to them. Remember, interaction is key.
3/ There is a three week posting limit for your journals. This means that at least 1 (one) post every 3 (three) weeks must be made. If you've reached the limit, and have not spoken to an admin about it, either by email or through request, you will be warned of removal.
4/ Be true to your character. For example, Leopold is a gentleman, therefore he would not go out of his way to purposely hurt someone. He would be courteous and self-assured, not quivering in a corner. It is understandable in certain situations for your character to not act like themselves, but remember to keep it believeable. If the character is not normally a flighty ditz, don't act like a flighty ditz. It's that simple.
5/Join all sub-communities, even if you aren't involved. This means the the dorms as well. Even if you aren't a student, it is still a way of interacting.
6/ Please remember that the admins are here to play as well. Be courteous and polite to everyone, that includes the admins. We are not here to rule with iron fists. We are here to enjoy the game as much as the members.
7/ Keep OOC stuff OOC. DO NOT bring OOC issues IC. Also, privacy is key here. Unless it's offered, do not ask other members for personal information. If you know them OOC that is fine, but if you don't, just see them as the character. Nothing more.
8/ Above all else, have fun.
DISCLAIMER: This is an rp based community. No infringement is intended whatsoever. We are not the characters we play. We do not mean any ill intent or malice towards the creators of said characters. We are merely borrowing them for the purposes of entertainment only.
Happy RPing folks!
And that's it, I hope to see some of you over there
