!!!!MUST READ AND AGREE TO BEFORE POSTING!!!!

[Madam Mournington]

Welcome to the Asylum For Wayward Victorian Girls, the online RPG based of Emilie Autumn's book of the same name.
(Which means that it does not follow the story of the book - The Asylum is merely the place where everything we decide happens.)
Underneath this welcome-letter I will post some simple RPG-rules to follow, and other important files.

We warmly welcome you!
Enjoy your stay!

Madam Mournington,
Headmistress,
The Asylum FWVG

WRITING RULES

We have very few writing-rules here in The Asylum – But they must be followed!

1. You MUST write in 3rd person, past tense. Always!
2. You MUST write at least 200 characters in your thread-post/reply. Otherwise it would just get boring.
3. If you are going to write to the player behind the character in a thread, you must write it like this: //OOG: Hey, what if....// and so on.
4. No bullying, please. This is supposed to be a place where everyone is welcome!
5. Do not just jump into somebody's thread without asking.
6. No power-playing or controlling other people's characters.
7. Have fun writing!

TECHNICAL RULES

The technical rules are about signatures and other stuff in that direction.

1. You MUST acquire a signature with a picture of your character in it before posting and/or participating in threads.

Placing a picture in your signature is easy: Click the button Profile in the header, then press Modify Profile, find the Signature field under Personal Information, and post it as a BB-code picture - as on the EA-forum.

I would appreciate if signatures are held below sizes of about 600x300.

2. You do not need an avatar, but I am very positive if acquired.
3. You MUST post your profile under ”List of Inmates, Doctors and other Scum!”, ”Waiting To Get Admitted”. When it has gotten approval, it will be moved to either Doctors, Inmates or Other Scum, and you are free to reply to/start a thread!
Inmate, Doctor and Other Scum forms are found under "Welcome".
After you have been admitted:
If you are an inmate you are given a ward letter, cell number and inmate letter.
If a doctor your position
and if Other Scum, race.
4. You are allowed to have as many characters as you want - As long as they are all fairly active. YOU MUST MAKE A NEW USER FOR EVERY CHARACTER!

FACECLAIM
Check before you create a character!

As mentioned in the rules, you must have a character-picture in your signature.

TIME AND YEAR

Seasons shift every month. That means that a year in The Asylum is 4 months IRL.
Time is realistic here - You don't just get pregnant, have a child, and watch it turn 18 in two months, okay?

Season pictures are placed on the left of the site.

OTHER LANGUAGES

If you wish to write threads in other languages, please contact me or another admin before doing so!
You still need a filled form in english, but you may write in other languages, when given permission!

LAST THING...

Just a last notice:

This is not a rule, but this RPG will be much more appreciated, if we all did our duty to keep up correct spelling and good grammar

[Madam Mournington]

PS: Please change your shown name to your character's name

[Dr. Edward Gideon Bramsfield]

To add to this,

IN THE CHATBOX-
The chatbox is ONLY for OOC: chat. This means everyday person-to-person chatting, NOT roleplaying posts.
You must make the shown name in the chatbox your real birthname.
If you have an issue with using your real name, contact me privately about it and we'll work it out.

[Dr. Edward Gideon Bramsfield]

Any users found posting before reading and accepting these rules will have all posts removed. It's not much to ask of you guys.

Send me a PM letting me know you've read the rules and agree to upholding them lest you be reprimanded for infractions.
