Salutations friends, and welcome to the newly improved Stupid Lamb RPG!Before you begin your journey with us it is critical that you read the rules, understand them, and agree to them. We know, rules aren't fun but order must be maintained. Follow these basic rules and you will have no problems here. Break them, and you shall suffer the wrath of the Stupid Lamb staff! *Laugh evilly*

1. The first and most important rule of the site is respect. All members, including staff must render respect to one another. However, it is important that non staff understand that our staff members have been appointed for a reason and their authority should be respected. Any concerns with staff members should be addressed with the appropriate chain of command.
2. Prior to roleplaying all characters must have submitted the appropriate application, have been approved, and placed into the necessary member group.
3. The C-box is just for chat. There should be no role playing happening there although you may speak of your characters, plot, and do other things involving your character there.
4. There is to be absolutely zero advertising in the c-box. If this policy is ignored then immediate action shall be granted to the most senior staff person present during the time of the infraction. Other advertising in the site will be allowed, even to guests. However, currently that option is not available.
5. Power playing, or god modding is absolutely forbidden and will not be tolerated. Smaller infractions may be pardoned but more serious and consistent power playing will result in immediate action being taken by the moderator in charge of this area.
6. Only one character per account. This means you are not allowed to use one account to represent multiple characters. For example, I may not use my account Ciro Carrado to play both Ciro and Aro or more. I'm serious people, only one character per account. This rule is in place only to help reduce confusion.
7. Character harming is allowed on this site. Though it is preferable that a plot be drawn out to reduce problems in this area no character is perfect and harm can be done to anyone. Harming incidence must be fair and accurate. This means that if your vampire is harmed you can't just immediately recover the next post or not be harmed despite the previous post. Deaths must also be agreed on by the character's creator (you may rip apart but not destroyed unless creator agrees).
8. Accounts are limed to five your first five months. After this you may apply for one more additional character a month but you will not be allowed to pass ten character accounts (this rule will be enforced strictly as it helps ensure an active rp experience with each character created).
9. Word play is important on this site. Posts should be at least 300 words and in an accurate format. In other words, act educated! Use paragraphs, correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Also, if someone posts 300 words it is common courtesy to post an equal reply in length. Writer's block is a common occurrence but it is not a regular occurrence. Anyone who struggles with this issues should notify all members involved in the posting out of respect (this can be done via notes at the bottom of the reply, or via pm).
10. Harassment, hazing, and disrespect will be dealt with harshly. Any of these forms of communication will not be tolerated and should be reported to Ciro A. Carrado, the Chief Administrator immediately or whomever the senior staff person is on duty at that time. Just because someone says or does something that you do not like as an individual does not give you the right to act like a fool.... period.
11. Staff members should be allotted an appropriate amount of time to do their jobs. Under no circumstances should new members continually ask to have their character approved. Also, no staff members shall be appointed just because you ask to become a staff member. In other words, don't ask to become staff, and don't harass staff to accept your application.(Pass word: Mr. Garrison)If you feel your app has not been accepted in a decent amount of time please notify the Deputy Administrator for assistance.
12. Even though this is a Post Breaking Dawn RPG, all cannons must stick to the typical mindsets and rules of the cannons, and all books must have been read (sorry the movies don't count). Staff members may quiz cannons at any time without warning to ensure this criteria is met.
13. Stealing from other members and sites will not be tolerated. Be original and make your character your own. Also, all applicants must have an avatar, and either a signature, or a thread template with a picture.
13. Finally, just have fun!
