I. RULES
▼
♚
Before you do anything else, you'll likely want to check up on the Rules here to make sure you don't accidentally get yourself warned — or worse, banned! Here at Arriviste, we tend to be pretty laid-back and we're always happy to help out, but a lawless society is, usually, not a good one!REGISTERING & REGULATIONS
▼
— Register with your OOC account first. They are required. After you have registered, please also change your display name to be in all capitals. The same goes for any character accounts you make. Make the USERNAME (the thing you enter when you first sign up) for each character account the character's first name or preferred name only. Add the last name when you edit the display name. Additional characters are allowed when you have completed your application for one and made at least FIVE IC posts.— Please try to be kind to all other members of the site, even if you find your personalities don't jive that well. If you have a serious problem with a member, let the staff know about it. While informing staff, be very detailed about the issue, and provide screenshots or extra information if you are able to.
— Welcome guests and new members! We ask you to take the time to always remember what it was like when you first joined — and even if you got settled pretty quickly (extroverts, holler out), others can be quite shy! If you see someone lurking around the forums but are not on the chatbox, why not send them a little PM?
— Arriviste is a 2-2-2 RPG (see below), but we generally consider ourselves PG-13. So please do not use overly risqué images for anything on site, including your hover image, icon, templates, or applications.
RPG RATING
▼
— Language: Swearing is generally permitted, to a point. Please do not use racial slurs or otherwise overly offensive swears.
— Sexual Content: Sexual content is permitted, but please try to write with some class. Explicit narration is not allowed. Please use the fade to black method.
— Violence: Explicit violence is permitted.
ROLE PLAY GUIDELINES
▼
— No power-playing (unless you have permission from the other player), no god-modding. Simple enough! If the character you are bringing into Arriviste is all-powerful, please find a way to change them around and give them weaknesses so that they may fit in better. See the FAQ for more detail on what kind of characters you can bring to Arriviste!— While we do prefer having posts being over at least 200 words, it is not a requirement by any means! Feel free to just write however much you feel is necessary.
— Please do not take IC relationships as a parallel to OOC relationships. If someone's character hates yours, this absolutely does not mean they hate you! Use your own judgement, but if you think you might have an issue with this, we recommend trying out a character that is unlike your own personality, so that you don't project too much onto it.
— Poking, or reminding people to reply to your threads is always allowed, but if they tell you to stop, you stop. Nobody likes to be pestered too much, after all!
CHATBOX GUIDELINES
▼
— When signing up for the chatbox, please use your OOC alias, nothing else, and no one else's.— If someone is uncomfortable with a subject you are talking about in the chatbox, especially if it's above the PG rating, please respect their wishes and stop talking about it. If you'd like, you can always continue the conversation in private, on other instant messenger sites or programs!
— No advertising in the chatbox, unless you are an official member (has one character accepted) and would just like to show off another site that you like.
— Do not intentionally spam the chatbox.
