1. All players must be 18 or older
  2. You must read the Game FAQ.
  3. All game-related posts must be kept in the community (See Game FAQ for posting guidelines)
  4. All posts must be labeled and tagged appropriately (See Game FAQ for posting guidelines)
  5. NC-17 posts are allowed, but they must have warnings in the main post, and they must be placed under a friends lock
  6. No godmodding
  7. No twinking, no Mary Sues
  8. All characters must be original
  9. All character journals must contain some form of contact information (email, AIM, comment post, or PM preferance)
  10. Two (2) characters maximum - after a few months of consistant play, you will be able to apply for additional characters, but we have a strict limit of five characters total
  11. You will be expected to post regularly, either in existing threads or through entrance posts. If you fail to do so within a two week period (14 days), without prior approval for a longer hiatus, your character(s) will be removed from the game
  12. These are original characters, not pre-created canon characters. Since that is the game structure, you need to create a thorough history for your character(s)
  13. Wank is not necessary. Keep OOC and IC boundaries clearly defined. We're not here to babysit you
  14. All characters must have some means of employment, or else they can't afford to stay at the hotel. You can have your character(s) have whatever position in the world you want, so long as it is within reason, or you can have them employed by the hotel
  15. You cannot do anything permenant to the hotel or to another character. You want your character(s) to be married, have children, get divorced, that's fine. But you cannot kill or maim another player's character or do anything to the physical structure of the hotel without prior approval of the moderators
  16. We do not allow underaged sexual content
  17. All posts must be written in third person, present tense
  18. Do not enclose narrative in asterisks, brackets, or any other distinguishing marks
    Example: DO - Sally walks down the hall. "Hello, Sam," she says with a smile as she passes her neighbor.
    DO NOT - *Sally walked down the hall.* Hello, Sam. *She walked away.*
    OR - [Sally walks down the hall] Hello, Sam. [She heads down the stairs.]
  19. We do understand real life interferes, therefore slowtiming and fading threads is allowed. But we discourage doing it too often. If we catch you dropping threads or slowtiming a majority of them, we will warn you about it. Activity is what keeps a game interesting.
  20. Plot is welcomed and encouraged, but keep in mind that in character actions will have in character consequences, and there will not be retconning because you didn't bother to think your plot through completely. There will be plot arcs put into play by the moderators, and you are expected to be involved in those arcs, but you can also plot amongst yourselves.
  21. While in character, there are three characters who are in charge of all things in the hotel. They are known as 'The Managment'. They are played by the moderators. Other characters will have positions of authority in the game as they are hired or promoted, so keep you eyes peeled for that.
