1. No Godmoding! 2. R-e-s-p-e-c-t! 3. Literacy is required. 4. Intro needs to be DETAILED! I like it when you explain what they look like, thier body type, general personality, etc. That way I don't have to go all the way to profiles to get a general feel for yourcharacter! 5. Cursing… It's..... okay..... but it has to make sense..... and fit your character...... Plus it's filtered! HA HA..... I don't want every other word to be a curse though because that gets annoying!! ......... The puritans weren't entirely into curseing........ because that would be bad..... just to add 6. Use ooc when you are out of character. 7. Use grammar and punctuation. Use quotation marks when your character is talking.... We all go to school here.... I'm assumeing 8. No chat speak! 9. Witchcraft: I'm allowing witches, but the general witchly story is: It is the witches who accuse the innocent. 10. Spells: Don't kill anyone. The spells they used were along the lines of "She sent her spirit out at me!" WHich is.... I guess...... when a witch sends thier familiar (usually in the shape of an odd animal) out to harm the people they don't like. 111. I like it when you have more than one character! It makes rps more interesting! But please don't if you have trouble controlling that many! No more than three characters with out my permission.
12. You may NOT control other people's characters. If I find the rp is moving too slow I can control thier characters, but you cannot 13. I have the right to throw you out of the rp if I want to if you break any of these rules. Have a nice day.
Please do follow my rules, they are here for a reason. I'm uaually pretty leniant, and I'll give you a couple of warnings, but if you get too anoying, you're outta here. If I get a complaint from another member youre off automatically.

It was a tough, cold winter in Salem, Massachusetts that February in the year of our lord, 1692. News had caught up in the town that a small girl became strangely ill. She complained of pain and fever, burst out in incomprehensible gibberish, experienced convulsions and contortions; her symptoms baffled everyone. Cotton Mather had just written a popular book describing suspected witchcraft in nearby Boston. Then three other girls, playmates of the afflicted, began to exhibit similar unusual behaviors. Doctor Griggs examined the girls and after his first administrations failed, he declared that the girls' afflictions might be the result of witchcraft. Salem quickly became a sea of suspision. Could the good Christians trust anyone? There was no way of telling who's soul belonged to Lucifer, and who's belonged to God. Little did the Good people of Salem know those "afflicted" were witches themselves, but that is another matter.
((ooooooookay! Join friends! I'd like nifty made up names as opposed to historical people..... this way we don't screw it up more thjan it already is))
