THE • OFFICIAL • RULEBOOK
REGISTRATION
[/font]t h e . s i g n . u p s[/center][/color][/font][/size]
APPLYING 101[/font]
you can sign up with any username you want to have, but once you decide on your characters name, please change your display name. sure, this can realistically wait until you are approved or post your application, but if you plan on filling out the app before posting it, then please change your name accordingly and make sure that your display name is all uppercase letters and your full character name. like HARRY JAMES POTTER. please do not put punctuation in your display name. as for how many characters you can have, you can have as many as you'd like, but the staffers all ask if you can keep your character genders in ratio, so we won't have to put a ban on a certain gender and don't create more than you can handle - you must keep them all active.

GRAPHICS NOTICE[/font]
on the note of applying, please post your application within a week tops of registering. please fill out the application carefully and do not change the code. we'd also like for people to use people as play bys, and not drawn characters and only celebrities or those who publicly express use of themselves on rpg sites - someone you randomly know, not allowed. no anime allowed. since we're using people, there is one short thing that the staffers ask for. and that is don't try and pass off your character as 22 if the play by is over 50, and vice versa. try and make the play by as close to your character age as possible. also, we do not want any mary-sue's or perfect peters, everyone has flaws! In addition to this, not everyone can have special abilities. these will be limited, you personally can have five abilities and that's the only amount you can have to distribute amongst all charries you currently and may have in the future. special abilities claims can be found in the claims section.

ACTIVITY LEVELS[/font]
we would love everyone on this site (and by love, i mean require) everyone to have a 250x150 avatar - the limit - and a signature of their choice, as long as it does not exceed a width of 500 pixels. the banner can be any size height though. if you can't make graphics, people are always willing to oblige. if you can't get someone on here to do it, go to a site such as CAUTION. you have to join, but it's worth it for all the graphics you can get as well as help with anything else. there is to be no copy-righted images UNLESS you have express permission from the owner - and proof of said permission thank you!

ROLEPLAYING 101[/font]
we will not be posting activity checks weekly, though there will be one every month for example. we would like for people to at least log on daily to keep the site looking active - even if it's just to check your character pm's or post an absense. you don't have to post a roleplay post everyday if you're busy, but you can post in the ooc boards, which requires not even a sentence for most of the games. your phrase is 'fight it out' put this is the rule password section of the application. you may have as many characters as you can handle, but if you choose to make more than one, try to make one boy for every two girl characters you have or vice versa and ensure they remain active.

QUIDDITCH 101[/font]
we know everyone has a bad day every now and then, but on how we do, we have a posting minimum of 250 words a post, and that's not really that big of a task. it's not even two fully detailed paragraphs. the staff will be paying attention to those who consistently do not make the word minimum, and if we catch this, we will talk to you and maybe warn your account if it carries on. we are an intermediate to advanced role play site, so try to keep on par with the minimum. there is to be no god modding what so ever unless specifically allowed by the rper of the character being god-modded - and even then, nothing major at all! if any god-modding is seen you will be warned! this is a pg-13 site, so yes there will be a bit of sex, drugs and rock n' roll but nothing overly-explicit. fade to black before it gets too detailed, no hard core swearing every other word.. you get the idea.
t h e . q u i d d i t c h . r u l e s[/center][/color][/size][/font]
well we all know quidditch is epic, and hey you want to sign your char up for one of the teams? that's awesome! just make sure you read this so you know how to play it. it's pretty simple really, all we do on this site is use a dice roll to decide what happens. every time one team tries to make a pass and someone goes to intercept it, we do a dice roll - using a legitimate dice. if the dice roll is even, then the intercept is unsuccessful, if it is an odd number then the interception is. if nobody tries to intercept a pass then it is automatically successful. this is the same when someone tries for a goal - if the dice roll for the person trying to score the goal is even then they will score. If someone tries to intercept their attempted goal, the dice will be rolled twice for the interception and then to see if the keeper stops it. At the beginning, who gets the quaffle first is decided by which side gets the highest dice roll - it will be rolled once for each side. This will be the way for the snitch rolls too - whichever seeker gets the highest will be the successful. There will be two snitch rolls - one for spotting the snitch first mid-way through the game, the second for who catches it. qudditch posts can be 50-100 words rather than the normal posting limit.
THE OTHER RULES
[/font]a n y t h i n g . e l s e[/center][/color][/size][/font]
this is a harry potter roleplay, so magic is allowed, for obvious reasons. but please try to remember the hogwarts school rules if you are roleplaying a student. for example, curfew is 10. if you're caught after that, then a professor may just catch you. also please note that only third years and onwards are allowed to visit hogsmeade, so no seconds years can be found here or a staffer will burst in and put them in detention. yes we get that students have relationships but please, not every student is going to get pregnant and no pregnancies what so ever below the age of sixteen. pm an admin if you want your student to get pregnant. make sure you use the wand list and spell list provided rather than making up your own wand type's and spells. other than that ... if you choose to join this site, thank you! we really appreciate it and we, the staffers, would like to get to know each and every member, so don't hesitate to introduce yourself in the ooc boards and cbox! <3© the layout is copyrighted to bethers is a badger ?! of caution, and freddy hart of magical mayhem.
