Rules
- First and foremost, Hotel California is an adult roleplaying game. This therefore requires that all players need to be 18 years of age or above.
- This game allows both slash and het. If either of these offend you for any reason, it's strongly advised that you don't apply.
- Like in any rpg, godmodding is not on. For a description of what godmodding is, please see here. If anybody is caught or reported to be godmodding for any reason, they will receive a warning from the moderators. If the godmodding persists or if the same person is found to be godmodding elsewhere, this will land said person an instant banning from the game. We take godmodding very seriously.
- Your character must be canon. This means that any measure of canon is allowed -- if your character had only a two-minute appearance in a movie, a five-minute appearance in a show or even just mentioned once in a book, it's still classed as canon. Just make sure you know your character and have him/her fleshed out.
- Original characters and real person characters are not accepted.
- Muns are only allowed ONE character application per calendar month. To start off with, you can apply for no more than one character. If you apply for any more within the month, those applications will be ignored.
- Hotel California does not allow character duplicates of any kind. This is merely to lessen confusion. Moderators are, however, willing to negotiate if there is a version of a character you'd like to play that already has another version in game (for example, Doctor Who).
- Hotel California only allows human and humanoid characters. Anime, cartoon and animal characters are not accepted.
- There is no magic in the Hotel California. The Hotel doesn't want anyone more powerful than it, therefore it strips any and all magical powers that otherwise magical characters would have. If your character has a wand (eg., a character from Harry Potter), the wand will be nothing more than a worthless piece of wood. Any god-like characters are reduced to human beings.
- There is a minimum posting requirement for Hotel California. This is elaborated here.
- The game has a networking community - please visit hotel_network for more information on this.
- Bear in mind that only third-person narrative posting is accepted on Hotel California. Please refrain from posting in first- and/or second-person narrative.
- Drama will not be tolerated. And by drama, we mean OOC drama, not in-game drama. Should any arise, please try to settle it between yourselves before approaching the moderators for intervention. While on the subject of drama, flaming and trolling will not be tolerated, either. Treat each and every member of the game with respect and consideration. Communicate with each other.
- Canon puncturing is not allowed on this game. For more information on this, please visit the FAQ page.
- FAQ page can be found here.
- So, you've read all the rules, including the part regarding posting? And you're still interested in applying? Cool! Go to the application page (linked below) and fill out the application form. And, oh, just so we know you have actually read these rules and the part regarding posting protocol, include the phrase 'this is serious, mum' next to your character's name, in brackets. If this isn't included, sorry - we won't even consider your application.
