sb is a no wordcount entertainment roleplay. while we don't have many restrictions, we do require you to read this small blurb on what we expect from our members. we are a safe community, which means bullying other members will not be tolerated. the character count is currently unlimited. no advertising or spamming our cbox please, and this goes for the site. trolls will be reported and banned. we encourage guest activity, but please only post in our cbox if you are interested in joining. likewise, members have a week to post before their account will be deleted. one ic post a week is required, no matter how many times you log in. godmodding and powerplaying is not allowed unless discussed by the other roleplayer. cheating results in a suspension.
in character, gary stus/mary sues will not be accepted. your character must have faults, internal or external. human face claims are required, and the first to claim recieves the face, even if you have made a bio already. we encourage members to reserve. times moves like real life time. pregnancies are only allowed if cleared by an admin, so please pm. the babies will be npc's. all characters must be 18 and over to join the site.
by joining show business, you have agreed to this contract and acknowledge that it can change any time.
ooc rules of sb - respect all members and refrain from behind the back rudeness.
- keep all ooc drama in the ooc. try not to let it effect your ic relationships.
- make sure you log into all your accounts every time you visit the site. this is a very important point to make, because:
- all accounts that are not logged into in a week are deleted and terminated.
- make sure you post once a week, too. we don't require a wordcount, so there is no stress.
- no matter what the level of experience, make all members feel welcome and included in character.
- swearing is allowed, but if a member feels uncomfortable with it, please PM us the situation and we will take care of it.
- all admins deserve respect, whether they be right or wrong. this is OUR site, and even if we act in a way you would not agree with, you are to adhere to our requests. furthermore, please PM the main admin if they or another admin does something against the rules so we can deal with it.
- no political or religious talk in the ooc box. none. if you want to talk about these things, ask members for their im usernames. we cannot do anything if someone is offended by another person's views, so let's just not start.
- no unnecessary drama please.
- join to be active, not for any other reason.
ic rules of sb - make sure you keep your schedule in check when signing up for movies and venues. if you know your character will be busy shooting a movie, do not sign up for one that is at the same time.
- character count is unlimited as of november 7, 2012. that can change if there are more accounts being created than being logged into. be responsible and don't ruin it for everyone else by not logging in.
- after creating a character, you have a week to make an ic post with them. if this is not done, the character will be deleted.
- characters starts as UNKNOWN. you may also start as an indie actor but you will not be able to climb the hierarchy. a few can start as trend characters if your PB is in a current popular saga of movies.
- please participate in otms. the winners of the most popular otm category will be featured in the skins to come.
- make sure not to let ooc drama bleed into your ic life.
- while we have no word count, we expect our members to try and match the length of their partner. if this is not possible, the both of you must meet in the middle with word count.
- as far as tense is allowed, most people post in past tense. first or third person is allowed on the board. do be prepared to shift tenses if your rp partner finds your tense uncomfortable. if you are a first person rper and your rp partner wants you to do third person, do so.
- we have members from all different rp backgrounds, so help a brother out and grow with each other.
- you are allowed to rp about mature topics, such as rape, abuse, and the like. HOWEVER. there is a time and a place, and if the drama of your character does not match up with your history, staff would like an explanation. therefore, if you want to make a character like this, add segments of abuse into their history so it's not just a wow factor.
- i know that "triggers" are becoming more and more of an issue on sites. if there is a situation that you are not comfortable with, PM and admin and we will take care of it personally. you need not ruin the experience for everyone else who is fine with these topics, and we will deal with your cases individually. if it is in the ic rp or cbox that you feel triggered, PM an admin documenting the case and they will take it from there. please speak to the person before all higher actions are taken.
- we accept all types of characters on this site, and if there are characters who are extremely offensive (ie, neo nazi, rapists, serial killers, child molesters, etc.), a case by case basis will be done once more with the two members who are at a disagreement. as long as te rper does not prescribe to the values of said characters, they cannot be blamed. it is your responsibility to sort ic from ooc, and if it is an unresolvable issue matters will be taken to secure both members happpiness.
- we support creative freedom on tami--while we understand roleplaying is a way to "escape" from the horrors of life, understand that not everyone comes here for normalcy.
