Rules
Thank you very much for taking the time to read the rules of Up In Flames. It’s very likely you’ve read all of this one hundred times before. The rules are short and simple and to the point.
We are an intermediate to advanced RP which means a minimum of 350 words per post, we don’t ask for too much; just give your partner something to respond to.
This is a marauders era RP where the main characters are in their seventh year. Of course original characters are more than welcomed but please let's not get too off-canon. Creativity is one thing, but making up your own little world is not allowed. Students go to Hogwarts, live in Britain currently and use Diagon Alley to get their school supplies. Adult characters are allowed more leeway just remember that the game is set in the 1970s.
Once you have joined, please change your user name to character FIRST MIDDLE LAST all in uppercase and when you post your application form as character LAST, First Middle.
As is standard, we don’t accept perfect characters or Mary-Sue’s neither do we allow God-modding unless your RP partner has allowed it.
We welcome characters but there is a maximum of five characters per person and before you make a new character your others' must have at least 3 in character posts. This is just to stop inactivity and to make sure people don’t just sign up characters and never use them. If you really want these characters then posting with them shouldn’t be a problem.
We accept that lack of muse and real life often gets in the way. Please if you know you are going to be absent or as soon as possible, post in the absence board so that we know not to delete you because if you are inactive for two weeks then your account/s will be deleted since activity is the key thing.
Images and play-bys must be of celebrities, no animation or anything and please do not stretch the board with them. We do allow for 150x200 icons.
And finally have fun, play nicely and stick to the Proboards TOS.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM a member of staff or shout in the chat box. Thanks!
