Harvey Dent, Gotham's White Knight, is dead, and with him, the hopes of those who believed he could defeat organized crime in Gotham once and for all. The Joker is loose, and while he hasn't been heard from in the last few weeks, city officials believe that it's only a matter of time before he shows his face again. Sociopaths are escaping from Arkham, Batman is a wanted man, and the candidates for the vacated Disctrict Attorney position are too busy mudslinging to get any real planning done. Many are starting to fear that without a leader to take charge, things may slip back into the chaos that existed before... Click here for full version of the plot!
NOMINATIONS!
We still need those nominations, and if nobody nominates anything else, Roj (or Kendall) will have to pick the spotlights, and we all know how much Roj loves herself. ;] Click to cast your nominations!
MALES NEEDED
While it's really not a huge deal now, we would like to nip it in the bud before we get completely overwhelmed by vagina. Please consider making a male character, especially if you already have a female.
IT'S PARTY TIME
Bruce Wayne's Second Thirtieth birthday party is now underway at Wayne Manor, and all are invited to attend!
UPCOMING ELECTIONS Political tension heightens as Gotham nears the date set for the District Attorney election. Candidates are shown to be almost exactly even in preliminary polls.
>>--the rules--> {UPDATED 9/8/08} « Thread Started on Jul 24, 2008, 9:48pm »
1. There shall be no mary suing. That is to say, we understand that your character probably likes someone. But lets not have all the girl characters mobbing one guy, or all the guy characters fawning over one girl.
2. This site is rated R.. That means we allow cursing and violence (within reason). Sex is implied but not acted out (we dont pretend that the citizens all hatched from eggs or popped out of the ground). Anything that goes beyond taking clothes off should be faded to black or taken to the PM's.
3. No powerplaying. We dont want you running around saying Then, Joe pulled out his knife and before Steve could even react, Joe ran him through, killing him instantly. Poor Steve. He never stood a chance, did he? You wouldnt be too happy if you were playing Steve, would you? Just dont do it.
4. If there is a form for use in a section, use it. We make them for a reason.
5. The canons listed are the only ones we're currently planning to bring on. We have no immediate intention of having Robin, Batgirl, or any of Batman's other accomplices being brought into the roleplay as of this time. Likeways, no relations to canon characters not explicitly mentioned in the movies are permitted. (Batman/Rachel love children, etc.)
6. Be nice. We didnt make this site to be a fighting arena, and we dont want it to become one. If you have a problem with someone, do it over PMs or bring it up to an admin if its really serious. Certainly, certainly, never, ever, under any circumstances, create a ___ sux she wuz mean 2 me! thread, OR start bashing people in the c-box.
7. This is an intermediate roleplaying site, meaning that we dont expect you to post a million words per post. We do, however, hope that you will try to use spellcheck and try to make your grammar as coherent as possible. As for post length, a 300 word minimum is a good thing to aim for. One-liners = BAD.
8. Massive images in signatures are to be avoided. We dont have specific limitations, and leave it mostly up to you, but use your best judgment. Dont put anything that stretches the board sideways.
9. Timestamp your threads if you have more than one thread open with one character. You don't have to stamp your first thread if it's the only one you have with that character, but if you decide to do another one, make sure you edit into your first post in BOTH threads whether they take place before or after one another. (For example "This thread takes place before "Leaving Normal" in the "Arkham Asylum" board" - you would then put "This thread takes place after "Cornered" in the "Gotham City Harbor" board" in the other thread"). If that's confusing, just ask one of the staff and we'll be happy to explain further.
10. We don't mind if you play more than one character, in fact, we welcome multiples. If you're playing more than one character, though, please register separate accounts for each one. As for your username, well, we don't care what you register as (sugarbaby9393, oodlesofnoodles, whatever) but your display name should be your character's first name and last if they have one. Little symbols, hearts, slashes, dashes, underscores, stars, whatever, are fine, too, but all the letters should be letters. (for example "_*Jane*_ is fine, but not "J@n3") Just make it readable.
11. **NEW** If you are not staff, do not reply to applications. You aren't staff, stop acting like you are. You can't accept or deny. If you want to offer the player pointers, or tell them that their application is too short, too bad. >.> It's not your place. Anyone caught doing this will be warned. Also, anyone replying to an application that has already been sorted will be warned even more.
