NOTE !
this is a gossip girl rpg but we're mainly following the show since it's more popular and easier to get. if you don't watch the show and have no idea what it's about -- that's weird. anyhoo! just go on cwtv.com if you live in the states and watch a couple of episodes (pilot&victrola are the most informative) and go on wikipedia and read up. we're following most of the show plots but adding twists and depth to things.
TRY-OUTS,
[UN] No combined accounts meaning that one account shouldn't have ten people on. Not even twins should be on one account.
[DEUX] Diversity. We're just so sick of seeing the stereotypical character. Brooding, beautiful, emo, sex-crazed, and social. Not everybody is like that. We want diversity. We do not want the whole board being overflooded with sex-crazed teenagers. Not everyone is like that. Also, we need diversity in race and sex. For every female, you must make a male since the board gets crowded. Also, race. We would love if you took Rihanna as your PB than oh so, Mandy Moore or Jessica Simpson. We'd love you forever.
[TROIS] Make sure your application is in our code. Stick to the application form given without making changes. It's ten times easier for us.
[QUATRE] If you are not finished with your application, just write NOT DONE in your title.
[CINQ] For your character's pb we do NOT want cartoons, plants, animals, etc. etc. We want celebrities of some sort. Myspacers are NOT fine. We will not accept you if you use anything other than actual people. Also, when it comes to PBs..please use a celebrity that looks young. We do not want Donald Trump or Drew Barrymore on this board. It just looks stupid and isn't realistic. This is a HIGHSCHOOL rp.
[SIX] When it comes to password put 'and who am i? that's one secret i'll never tell' in CAPS. This will change once in a while so check back everytime you make a new character.
[SEPT] Absolutely no Mary Sues or Marty Stues. No one is perfect. No, not even you. We do not want perfect characters. Everyone has problems but not everyone has twenty of them. It gets annoying having everybody be some brooding emo rosemary's child character.
[HUIT] One celebrity per person. We do not need twenty Rachel Bilsons running around nor fifty Sophia Bushs.
[NEUF] Word count is important. Please follow the format and it's minimum word-count for special things. If you do not, you will NOT get accepted.
[DIX] If you don't get accepted, you have a week to fix the application. If after a week you have not finished it, your application will be deleted and if you reserved/claimed a character, it'll be up for grabs again.
[ONZE] Listen -- we understand everybody likes Hanna Beth and all of those 'scene girls' but this is a prestigous school. Your parents pay thirty thousand dollars a year for you to go to an amazing school. It's one of the top in the country -- so if you have raccoon hair and a nose ring, it's really not working. Please stay away from scenies. Please.
[DOUZE] Originals are allowed but don't make them 'the IT girl'. We understand if they're pretty and popular but this school is only run by an elite group of teenagers. I swear to god, if you were 'QUEEN BEE' anywhere in your app, I will not accept it. Blair&Serena run this shiz. Plus, it's pretty annoying having two hundred popular girls running around. That brings us to the next rule!
[DOUZE] Boys are needed. We'll be a little nicer to the boy-players since they make the world go around. So please, for every girl, make a guy.

ROLEPLAY,
[UN] No god-modding what so ever. You do not control the other person's character and you are not a psychic. I know it may become a bit tedious and all but we do not want people getting angry that their character is dead, pregnant, etc.
[DEUX] Posts must be more than 400 words. If they do not exceed that minimum amount, you will get a warning. I know that sometimes you can get writer's block but atleast try. Write about the seagull, poop, condoms, sex, love, etc. etc.
[TROIS] Not everyone gets oregnant at the same time. Hell, there are billions and billions of people in the world. Chances are, nobody gets pregnant. We are putting a ban on teenage pregnancies since it's just stupid having twenty girls running around at parties with a baby.
[QUATRE] If your character isn't active for a week and you haven't left an absence notice, your account will be deleted and your PB claim will be up for grabs.
[CINQ] Realism. That is what a highschool rpg is. Sex, alcohol, cursing, etc. happens so you're free to do what you want to. But whenever something becomes too graphic put [R] in your title. We DO have little kids on here.
MISC,
[UN] Fighting will not be tolerated. If a problem arises pm an admin (namely -- gossip girl) or work it out OUTSIDE the c-box.
[DEUX] When making characters, be sure that you will be active. We don't want you to have ten characters and have five posts on each. So, we have a rule.Since we are just beginning you MUST have 20 posts on a character before making a new one.(This rule will be reinstated when we have about 25 members.)
[TROIS] You must have an avatar and picture of your character in your sig. The picture in the sig must be 315x148. Nothing too raunchy please or vulgar. If you need help with that, request it in the graphics studio section or send me Gossip Girl a request.
[QUATRE] Display names should be in lowercase with NOTHING at the end. If you have something at the end or some letters are uppercase, I'll just edit your name and it'll be the end to it. It just looks better like that.
[CINQ] YOU MUST BE RESPECTFUL TOWARDS EVERYONE. Not just the admins. Everybody has an opinion so respect them, don't pick fight, etc. etc. etc. You get it don't you?
[SIX] Font; something that really bugs me. It's really just a pet peeve but I just completely hate it when the font is size 2 and super big. So please post everything in size 0 or size 1 font.
