Most Important rule of Twisted Rogues is...
Real Life (RL) comes first. Please let an Admin know ASAP if you need time away. This is not something to take lightly as we all have lives outside of this family.
Site Content:
As our Admins and Family members have worked hard to put this site together we would appreciate that NO ONE steal, copy, or use our SLs, site content, pictures, or quotes, etc.
Main Requirement:
To please have fun, be respectful, and mindful of everyone. Although this is an R rated site please respect any and all members personal boundaries. We realize we have repeated the 'No drama' 'Be Respectful' message several times already, but respect and drama free role play are our two of our three mantras here at Twisted. The third.. is to spread your twisted little wings and let that dark side of your psyche out.
Twitter Requirement:
We ask that you be on twitter a half an hour to an hour at least once every two weeks. Unless you are in an SL then you may need a little more time. This is to ensure your followers and family members that you are still here. It will also give you time to interact with your fans.
Mated Characters:
The pairings of characters (mates/rp partners) should be respected at all times. If you are having problems or have any concern not being mated or being mated to, please talk to any of the Admins. We will privately process what steps are needed to be taken to solve this as soon as possible. As this could affect a story line and would need to be corrected as soon as Admin(s) can make this possible.
Absences:
Please let one of the Bosses know via the site account (@TwistedRogues) or their accounts (@TwistedBossLady / @TwistedBossMan) and let them know if you are going to be away for any length of time (a week or more), to protect your character and out of respect for those who count on you. A month of inactivity will get you removed.
Storylines:
If you wish to have a storyline, you must submit your idea to the administrators. You MAY NOT begin a storyline without approval. SL ideas that would be sent in could include and not be limited to engagements, babies, weddings, traveling, etc. Anything that would effect your character, your coven or your family in a major way.
It is important to discuss with the others in your SL what your plans are, see when you can meet up on the TL and what needs to be done. Not just that, but please come forward with any SL ideas. We’re more than open to discussing with you all where you want your character to go, or if you are confused about where we’re planning on taking it. We’ll always try to personalize our story lines. Therefore, we are always open to ideas. We love creativity!
So feel free to contact the Bosses or an Admin so that we can deepen characters, make more of the SL’s and take this site on different and original tangents and SL’s. If coordination problems arise, let me or an Admin know as soon as possible so that we can help. (Please note, the owner reserves the right to say yes or no, all decisions are negotiable if they are logical.)
Remain in Character at ALL times on the TL (Twitter):
This is crucial to our success as an RP family. Remember, people are following a character, not you. If you feel the need to comment on your personal life and it's happenings, we suggest either getting a personal twitter account, making an OOC account or if all else fails, spin the tweet to make it seem like it is coming from the character you are playing.
Remember when tweeting the other family members.... unless you are in a direct SL... You can't just tweet anyone in the family... Examples: The Cullen's in Forks should not be randomly talking to a member of the Volturi in Italy. Wolves should not be talking to the Volturi/Non Olympic covens either. If you do, please make sure it is something YOUR characters would actually do and do it in the form of a text, email or phone call.
Tweets:
Use a symbol /Action tag ( ^, *, ( ), < >, //, ::, -, ~, .:, /: or any combination) before all thoughts. If you do not separate your thoughts from your actions, no one will understand what your character is doing.
Bad Tweet Example: Walking down the hall my eyes caught sight of a man, i nodded in his direction before i spoke. Hello Sir. I gave him a small smile and walked into my office.
Good Tweet Example: *Walking down the hall my eyes caught sight of a man, I nodded in his direction before I spoke* Hello Sir. *I gave him a small smile and walked into my office*
Make sure that you think before you tweet. Some characters are capable of using certain gifts, which can come through in play. For example-Seth is a wolf and can share thoughts with his entire wolf pack. However, he can only do so in wolf form, so if he’s walking around in town, he can’t be thinking to Sam that he can’t run patrol that night. Just be mindful of what you’re doing, make sure it makes sense.
Please read and know where you and your fellow RPers are in the story line while you slept or were away. Please play 'catch up' before tweeting.
Out of Character Tweeting:
These are all things that will get you called to site or to DMs. An Admin will give you a warning on the TL or via DMs. We will only warn you a few times (3 strike rule) and if its a constant issue you could be asked to leave site. If you care to do A.N.Y of the below you M.U.S.T make an OOC (Out Of Character) account for your charachter.
If you are doing anything that is not appropriate or vital to your character, doesn't enhance SL (Storyline) in character, it doesn't belong on SL (Storyline) TL (Timeline). [ex. Tweeting #Online, #Offline, #Bored]
Formspring, Blip, Tumblr, ask.com and anything of this nature, is not going to add to your SL and are not needed on your SL account time line.
#NowPlaying, unless it is a pimping tweet (like the site account does) is again, not vital or adding to your SL so it's not needed on your SL account. If you want to incorporate music into your SL then have your character listening to an iPod/Phone/Pad, radio or something of that nature.
Posting random pictures, videos or anything of that nature is not allowed unless it is to better enhance your tweeting. (Example if you are shopping and want to tweet what you are buying that is allowed as long as it is NOT all you are tweeting).
YouTube videos, if the videos are used during your tweeting, and it is adding depth to your SL it is okay to post. (Example: If you are listening to your ipod/watching tv, you can add into your tweets that your are listing to the song/watching said video and add the video into your tweets)
As it states in the staying in character section, talking to your fans, followers and any other family member that is NOT in an active SL with you at the time is simply not allowed on an SL account. I love for you to get to know your followers and the people that love your SLs, so simply ask them via DMs if they will follow your OOC acct and talk to them there.
I ask that you not take any of these rules as me trying to run how your character acts .
I am simply asking that we all work together to make this site the best we can.
With YOUR help we can do just that.
