The Rules
Out of Character
RESPECT. I can't stress enough how much respect is lacking in many aspects of life, so use it here. That goes for staff and other members.
USE GOOD GRAMMER. It's just annoying when ppl tYp l!k3 Th!S, so please put your English classes to use.
You may have as many accounts as you want, just please stay active on them. If you lean more towards one than the other, great, but make sure that your other character gets the play that it should.
In Character
STAY IN CHARACTER. Duh.
After you have regestered, please change your display name to your charater's first and last. I will not sort you until this is done.
Please, have real people for your charaters. No anime or graphically created characters.
Your character may only have one prominent mental defect because I can only sort you one way. If you would like to add another minor defect [ex. prominent: bipolar disorder, minor: anger issues], please state so in your application. The password is webecrazy.
Swearing, sex, drug use, rape, ect. are all allowed. Please understand that not everyone wants to read these, so please mark sexual threads with an [x]. Keep in mind that this is a hospital, and you would have to find a clever way to sneak drugs in to use them. Cigarettes are allowed if your character is over eighteen.
I am asking that all characters make and keep up with diaries. This does not mean that you have to post everything everyday. It only means that every now and again you post about your charater's relationships and how they feel about their time in the hospital. This also helps you keep better track of your character.
