rules

• Please do not cross IC with OOC. If you experience a problem, let the mods know and we will handle it appropriately. First, a warning will be given and if another problem arises, you will be removed from the community, no questions asked.

• Mature storylines are to be cleared with the mods before they are played out. This includes suicide attempts, teenage pregnancies, etc. They are all to be played out in a MATURE manner.

• Updates are required every three weeks. One extension will be given but if they are constantly asked for, the request will not be granted. While there is no specific length required for the updates, we would appreciate if it was something of substance every once in a while, meaning more than a paragraph and not just something you copied and pasted from another source. AIM activity and activity in the sub-comms are also required and if you haven't signed on in a period of five days and post something at least once a week, you will be removed. In addition to that, please keep an updated friend's list using the button in the mod journal. We use that as an indication to how active you are with logging into your journal. An intro is required to be posted in ~newjersey within three days of being added.

• Journals and AIM names must be related to your character's name. No X's, numbers, underscores, or excessive letters in either or extra words in the journal name.

• The holds aren't first come first serve, but we will not accept someone until the hold runs out. To apply, you need to have a biography of your character, a first entry, a decent sized list of facts, or a myspace type survey of decent length filled out and paired with bulleted facts. Some surveys can be found here.

• Characters are welcome to make Facebooks upon joining. They are by no means required, but if made they will be added to the community directory.
