RATING. next generation is rated PG-13 to stay in line with proboards rules. we do not want explicit sex scenes or bloody battle scenes. romance may include everything from holding hands to kissing, but fade-to-black if you want to go further. battle scenes should work in the same way if they approach an inappropriate level; a smack here and there on campus does not require fading-to-black. please keep this in mind while rping.
WORD COUNT. we welcome all levels of roleplayers here, but you need to give the one you’re rping with something to work off of. we require at least two hundred words per post. we would like more, but this minimum would be the same as a good paragraph. just make it fun for you and your partner.
GRAMMAR. we ask that you have good grammar and spelling in every post. we understand a few mistakes here and there, but please make posts legible. zeit is not the best at this either, so she will not ask you to make everything perfect.
ABSENCE NOTICE. we ask that you report when you’ll be away for more than a day or two. we do hold activity checks here every month or so, and we do not want to delete someone’s account because they were on a family trip. please do leave us a message when you expect to be gone for more than a day or two, and we will all try to work around that. we will also not touch any threads that your characters may be participating in, and it is only fair to warn the people rping with you.
USER NAMES. user names are to be changed to your character’s full name with the last name first after being accepted. you may sign up with any user name, but we ask you to keep it from being something inappropriate. it is also helpful if you use your ooc nickname or character’s name, but that is not required. you may also not use any symbols in your user name.
PROFANITY. yes, you may cuss in threads, but don’t have the character cussing every other word. you may not cuss outside of ic threads/boards. we do not want that language in the cbox or in ooc boards. a slip up every now and then in ooc is fine, but don’t make it a habit.
ACCOUNT NUMBER. here on next generation we do have a character limit, but we will go through bans of certain characters should the need arise. we do expect there to be one character per account. the character limit caps at five.
RESPECT. you are to respect everyone from the staff to guests. we are not savages here, and we can be polite even if it kills us.
STAFF. the staff has the final word. we will work with everyone to fix problems that may crop up, and we will do our level best to be on top of things. staff are to receive the respect they deserve. staff positions may crop up as more people join, and we will choose the new staff members based on either audiences and/or who we think deserve the position. the staff must have a separate account from their characters for admin work with their ooc nickname in all caps.
LIQUID TIME. the site is set in liquid time. this means that you can be in multiple threads at once. some events may occur on top of each other, and the staff will give you an idea of the timeline between them. zeit keeps a record of what events happen when, so if you have questions regarding the timeline pm her. she will be happy to fill you in.
CHARACTERS. there shall be no mary-sues or gary-stus. we will not accept them, and they are no fun. we don’t want to be overrun with a certain type of character though as that isn’t fun either. keep a balance. we can use with a few drama fanatics and a few bad boys just not a ton of each.
IMAGES. we will not allow revealing images on the site, and this goes for both female and male face claims. please check the face claim list before choosing an fc, and face claims can only be from an anime/manga or video game. images should always be of your character’s fc. you may not advertise in your signatures, and icons should be 100x100.
ADVERTISING. we have set aside a section for advertising, and we will not allow advertising anywhere else. if someone advertises via pm, let the staff know, and we will handle it. we accept advertising from proboards and invisionfree sites, and we also accept affiliations. please read the affiliation rules before applying.
DO NOT. we will not accept spam, god-modding, flaming/trolling, or cybering. you will be immediately banned for any of those; you have been warned. we also frown upon hacking; and the staff will bring lightning, hammers, chainsaws, and frying pans upon the person who decides that hacking is fun.
