RULES
1. Please read through all of the rules and the database before beginning your journey at Valhaven! Everything is important and it's nice to be aware where the site is sitting setting wise, plot wise, character wise, and of course activity wise!2. Fill out an application and wait for it to be accepted by the staff before role playing.
- Applications must be completed within a week of them being posted in the "pending/work in progress" board.
3. There is no character limit. Your first THREE characters are "freebies", after that, you must have been active and/or have a certain amount of in character posts before allowed to create more - this is to prevent characters from being made and then being left in the dust.
- Each character must have at least 10 in character posts. (Not in other places on the site, in threads.)
- Each character must have at least one active post within the last week upon asking if you can make a fourth, fifth, ...so on and so forth.
4. As for applications, we are shipper style, mostly for plots and the like. When your character is approved, surf the already approved applications and post on their application if you have an idea or ideas for plotting. They will get back to you.
5. While we do not monitor a word count, we like to also say that giving your partner enough to reply to is a good standard.
6. Keep it classy. Mature theme considered, there is also a ToS. Sexual themes are against it and should be done in a private setting. Fade to black.
7. There is no godmodding, not ever.
- Unless you have permission of your role play partner(s), you cannot take control of a character that is not yours.
- ASK ALWAYS ^^^^^^^
- Do not automatically assume someone will accept a thread, ask them before tagging them in a thread - it's not fair if a random thread with your name on it pops up, now, is it?
8. Trolling/Drama/Chat box drama will not be tolerated!
- If there is an issue with another member, tell a staff member right away and they will handle it. Do not try to take the authority into your own hands.
- Never add fuel to the fire, nothing good comes from that.
- Obey the TOS, we don't want to be shut down for someone not obeying the terms of service!
- No advertising in the chat box.
- Do not spam the chat box with images (links are okay once in awhile, but it's there for CHATTING.)
- We do not tolerate bullying whatsoever - we take this very seriously over here and consequences will be handed out if we see or hear about this happening anywhere relating to the site.
9. If you are going to be gone for awhile (aka taking a hiatus) please post in the "hellos and goodbyes" board so we know not to archive your character or any of your things.
- Activity checks will be in place every month - so be aware and keep staff informed if you are going to be be gone for a period of time, especially during AC times.
10. Have fun!
If there are any questions, comments or concerns about any of these rules, or if you just need help with something, feel free to message Raz (Mari Bellamont) or Shepard (Roland Hawke) and they will be more than happy to help you! Or catch us in the chat box, we're always wanting to help.
