Ridgeport Preparatory Academy discussion

Rules, though some might call them common sense!

✔ We'd like to think of this RP as advanced, not in the horrible connotation that title might mean to you, but instead what it means to us: trying. If you're doing it right, it won't even feel like effort, it'll just be fun.

✔ Do not to spam the important threads -- if you have trouble determining which those might be, ask!

✔ Posting an unfinished character format is frowned upon, since moderators do not want to continuously check back to see you've finished a charrie when approving characters.

✔ The above point is a nice segway into do not begin role playing until your character(s) are/is approved.

✔ Within this group, you as a member will encounter information your characters as students will not -- do not let those lines cross unless otherwise instructed.

✔ We're starting off with a six character limitation -- meaning 3 characters of each gender, if that does not work for you, let a moderator know. This is one of the only rules subject to change!

✔ Scholarship kids are R-A-R-E. As in, do not make them without permission, rare.

✔ Character construction is perhaps the most important part of this group, since the school and blog depends solely upon its content (students), so make sure to read all threads involving that process. Also, though collaboration is encouraged, it's cautioned. Be reasonable in all aspects of the characters and their previous relationships, and leave future prospects open. Basically, we're saying don't plan your entire charrie's future out before even RP'ing them. No reasonable character is falling in love with the first boy they see.

✔ As far as character templates go, follow the one given to you. Additional information is fine, but for approval you must have all of the basic fields provided completed. Don't go crazy, but if it's your desire, make it interesting while also relevant.

✔ This last rule is sort of a blanket code of honor: have proper etiquette, most everyone should know the "do"s and "don't"s by now. Just because something isn't spelled out for you not to do in the rules doesn't mean it's okay. Use your best judgement if it isn't in the rules, and just have fun, since that's the goal.

✔ Since this is a common type of group (prep school, academy, blah blah etc), make sure to keep your characters original. Try to make new characters, but since this is a remake of sorts, if you would like to, you can bring back two characters from old RPs. If you have any questions regarding this rule, please ask.
