Here are the rules. I know, rules aren't very fun, but we want to keep this site nice and friendly. Depending on the severity of any rule you break, the consequences will differ.
1. No powerplaying (controlling other peoples' characters.)
2. No godmoding (having invincible characters.)
3. No perfect characters - no one can be nice, smart, strong, good-looking, etc. all at the same time. It'd be fine if you had a totally good-looking character who was mean and vicious, you just can't all of them.
4. No Desperates, please!
5. No EXTREME gorey details.
6. No killing other characters without the permission of the roleplayer.
7. Romance is a big part of gangs. West Side Story? I mean, come on. But not to far in public, please.
8. Be at least a bit literate. And by this I mean:
- Be descriptive. (Each post should be at least two, well written sentences long, although the occasional writer's block is understandable.)
- Seperate OoC things from IC things.
- No typing lyk dis. In other words, no chatspeak while in character (g2g and brb are acceptable, however). It's not that hard to type out a word.
-If you can't spell something, put [sp] so others know.
9. Please remember that this is a GANG roleplay site, no special powers, etc.
10. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read the information before you join. It may be easy to understand at first, but you need to know things.
11. Do not roleplay anywhere until your character has been accepted. Don't worry, I'm more lenient with your first character, so you can get started. Being accepted shouldn't take longer than a day, two or three at the most. If I'm on vacation or anything, I'll leave control to a member. You will know when they accepted when they are moved to the gang area.
12. Don't ask to become a moderator or anything. I will choose my own team. =)
13. Also, numerous characters are allowed - in fact, greatly encouraged. Makes the site more lively, heh heh. You don't need to create seperate accounts for them - in fact, I would prefer if you kept it to one account. I can change your name for you if you want. Also, you don't need to have a character's name as/in your name - you can if you want, but it's not necessary. However, it's helpful if you list your characters in your siggy (and provide a link to each of their profiles).
As for the issue of cross-gender roleplaying (boys roleplaying girls, girls roleplaying boys) it is most definitely allowed.
14. Animals are allowed to an point. You don't exactly see horses in a city. So be wary of what animals are pets.
15. As for gang switching, it is allowed, you just have to tell me so I can move your profile. Also, you can only move three times. I may change the limit later.
16. For ranking in a gang, read the ranking page and how to get your ranking. Fights will be done in a neutral area, but it must be fair.
And Police, on this rule. It will depend on who I put in charge of the police.
17. Transportation. You may have a car or motorcycle, but nothing pass what you can afford. I will tell you if you can't not have that car or that updated of a car. It will depend on the description of the car and the character that owns it. When more members join, I will put up a car shop.
18. Your character can only be in ONE place at a time. You must leave one roleplay to go to another.
19. Rival gang members may go into rival gang territory. Just a warning though, your going to be faced with a whole gang.
More will be added if I see fit. Ask me questions about any of the rules.
