These are the Roleplaying rules of the site. You must read them all and follow each one of them. We will know if you don't read them We have our special ways.
No 4-liners
This is going to be a VERY strict policy at Kingston Boarding Highschool. You must NEVER have anything less than 2 paragraphs. I know in my examples they weren't quite 2 paragraphs...let alone 1 paragraph. But that is why it was called an example. Also, you are allowed to do like, 1-worders if your in an OOC thread, or in OOC during an RP but when you are actually RPing, then you must have at least 2 paragraphs. A Paragraph does not pass as one or two sentences. No. Paragraphs here at Kingston Boarding Highschool pass at 5 or 6 sentences. Now, if you do a lot of 3 sentenced paragraphs, that is ok. Like if you do 5 3-sentenced paragraphs, that will be fine and you won't get warned. But if you do a 1-liner, you will be banned from RPing for 1 week. 1-liners is my Pet Peeve, I hate them entirely.
Entering Descripted RP's
If someone in the title of their thread put something like this, "In the Kitchen. (Lilly)" Than you MAY NOT, with no exceptions, enter. Even if it is where your girlfriend is getting a homerun with your best friend, you may not enter it. You may start up a new thread with your girlfriend and yell at her there, saying you saw here and your friend, Adam getting busy, but you may not intrud in on that ONE specific thread. That is absultely, 100% positively, against any of the rules. There will be none of that. If you do intrude a descripted RP, then you will be banned from RPing for 1 week, as it is their private business in what they are doing in that thread. You may, by all means, READ what they are writing, and yell at your computer screen, and we won't give a care. But entering it...that is another story.
Grammer and Spelling
What is that little tiny box down at the bottom of the replying screen called? It's inbetween the Preview and Reset..Oh, Doi'! The SPELL CHECK! Let's say it together now...SPELL CHECK! Use that after every time you post to make sure that your spelling is all complete. Also, when you are done with your reply to a thread or topic, please Proof Read it to make sure that all of the grammer is complete. We don't want any of this: "Lilly wlaked into the bathromo and cuohged. i am so tried. she said outloud."
What we DO want is:
Lilly walked into the bathroom and coughed. "I'm so tired..." She said outloud." See the difference? Which one was more fun to read...the first one or the second one? So use the little box and your eyes to do correct grammer and spelling!
No computer chat while RPing
When you are RPing, would you rather see this: "She walked into da room and sat down. "hey u, give me an icepack plz." She asked. "Thx, i aprreciate it. i needed it cuz i fell down and hurt my leg. thx again." Or this: "She walked into the room and sat down. "Hey you, give me an icepack please." She asked. "Thanks, I appreciate it. I needed it because I fell down and hurt my leg. Thanks again." Which one was more appealing to you? The second one of course! Because someone the computer chat is very difficult to read, because not everyone knows every single computer chat, Like, some people may not know lol, or brb, or plz, or ty. They mean Laugh out loud, be right back, please, and thank you. Why don't you use the real words? It will help you fill up space for those two paragraphs needed. The second part of the secret answer is cucpcake.
Pregency
Pregnancy - There aren't any babies here at the school. So if you did make it to term then it would have to live elsewhere, maybe with your parents. Or this is one way for your character to leave. If you don't like your character, you can let her become pregnant and leave school. You could of course think you're pregnant and not be. If you decide to be pregnant then you must be pregnant at all time during your RPing, of course you won't be pregnant for 9 months thats just insane, we think maybe a month or around 3 weeks. We'll work out the detauls when you PM us your application. No matter what you must apply to become pregnant though. You can't just decide to be pregnant and be pregnant for a while and thats it. You have to apply and actually be accepted, not a lot of people can be pregnant, so not everyone will be accepted. Also, if you do have a baby, you will not be allowed to RP on the school ground while your pregenet. This is the form you must fill out to have a baby:
1st Warning-1 week off of RPing
2nd Warning- 2 weekd off of RPing
3rd warning-1 month off of RPing
4th warning-2 months off of RPing
5th warning-Banned from RPing forever.
