Roleplaying

2. Please role play in third person.
3. Although we have no word count, we expect you to post a few lines of writing minimum. We do not accept one liners.
4. Please keep all posts PG-13. This is a rule of proboards TOS - as a board we are obliged by the TOS to ensure this is happening, it not because we feel these posts should not be occurring or trying to hinder your creativity.
In general things are over pg-13 if posts or images contain nudity or high violence and language. It is suggested you focus more on the emotions of your characters than the details of these things, however if you do wish to post above the pg-13 level you will need to take these posts off the board. Please do not pm anything above pg-13 as this could be picked up by PB's and is also against their TOS. If you wish to rp mature threads off site a sandbox roleplay has offered a board for us to use located here - please only use this for content that shouldn't be posted here and NOT for general playing. In order to play on that particular part of this Sandbox RPG you must be an accepted member HERE first. Thank you for being supportive and understanding on this rule.
