First Placebo is a place to be who you want to be under the influence of the infection. There aren't many rules to this humble nation, but the ones that there are, you need to follow them. Understood? Fantastic.
When it comes to making a character, remember that no one is perfect, especially here. There should be flaws, secrets that are kept, and definitely drama. The person you are creating cannot be immune to the infection. They can have a lower case where they are not deathly ill, but immune they cannot be. Read all of the guides. They really are there to be helpful.
When you are signing up, please use your character's First, Middle, and Last name. That way it looks neat and it will be easier to find someone that you are looking for. After you have posted your Application in the Pending area, give the admins at least 3-6 days to look them over. We will try to be prompt, but sometimes RL interference cannot be helped. If it has been over 6 days and no one has looked at it yet, or left any comments on it, you may then PM either Jelly or Aeri to remind them. Do not be rude about it, just make a reminder and we will look at it as soon as we can.
Another thing to remember is to make sure that the Play By that you selected matches the age you want them to be. Do not have.. let's say George Clooney be 22. That just simply wouldn't work. You can stretch the ages by a few years (and some celebrities certainly don't look the age that they actually are), but please be reasonable with it.
When you are making an avatar, or a signature, have the Avatar no bigger then 100 x 200. It can be smaller of course but no bigger! and Signatures should be between 500 x 200/250. If you cannot make one of your own, there are sure to be people that would love to make one for you! There are always options online such at Caution and things like that!
Keeping a site PG13 is tough for everyone, so try your best to keep things as non-graphical as possible. We aren't saying you can't have fun, but we don't need to be shut down for something like that. Sex, drugs, and everything else is allowed. If you are going to have something be completely graphic, put R in your headline so others know what is in the thread. Not everyone wants to read that. Though, some people may find it interesting. Even then, you cannot be explicit. "Black outs" or "time skips" are encouraged.
Anyway, continuing on. When you write, try to get at least 150 - 200 words minimum! We all know that there are times where the muse is running low. We have all been there. You don't always have to be the best, just be yourself! The more you write, the better you will get! Just have fun with it! Just also make sure that you stay realistic. While typing, do not use any types of chat speak in your threads. "U," "B," "U R," "Lets go 2 the park." No, please spell out the entire word. This goes for the Chatbox too. "Brb," "lol," and similar abbreviations are fine. Nothing else is.
One of the most important things that needs to be said is no Godmodding or Powerplaying. Nothing of the sorts. If you are planning on killing another user's character off, make sure that you have their permission. If you could also remember to PM either Jelly or Aeri to let them know that your character is being killed off with consent, that would be greatly appreciated!
Respect is another big thing. Be nice to everyone on the board. Noobies are included. Try your best to include everyone in your plots. Don't discriminate. Though, if you have someone in Australia, threading with someone in America may be kind of hard. So try and find things to work with! Things will get easier we promise!
If you can follow all of those rules, then things should work smoothly! Please, if you have any questions, ask the administrative staff! We would be happy to answer anything you may have to ask. Do not be afraid, we don't bite...hard.
Have fun! That's what RPing is all about!
Sincerely, Your Awesome Staff. Jelly and Aeri.
