RULES AND REGULATIONS
the basics
-sings- R-e-s-p-e-c-t, find out what it means to me! Which brings me to my fairly important point; treat ALL members with respect. Not much else needs to be said about this.
Okay, people. Since this site is new and the plot is still being developed, NO ACTIVITY CHECKS will be held at the moment. Now, if you want to take a break, please post in the TimeOut Board, and you won't be stripped of your rank.

RULES AND REGULATIONS
when in character
POST COUNT. I will allow a minimum of a three-sentenced paragraph. However, if it's a horrible day for your creativity/muse to flow, I will allow one-liners up to THREE TIMES ONLY. But the courteous thing to do is try to match your RP partner's word count. Because I am one of the people who are too lazy to look up an online word-counter all of the time, it is desirable to please post how many words you typed in that particular post. So, when in doubt, count it out! . . . No. . . Really. xD
Auto-Hitting. God Modding. All junior roleplayers need to know what these terms are. [ and even our senior ones need to read and be reminded of their definition ] I found this awesome nerd site where the terms are explained:
"Auto-hitting describes a fighting action whereby a character is attacking another character and assumes to have hit them without the other characters response being considered. This sort of action is generally frowned upon in RP communities."
And this is what Urban Dictionary says about God Modding:
"God Modding is in essence when someone's character has the ability to do practically anything without limits or boundaries. And example is when they simply cannot be harmed by any and all means other RPers try.
- It can be killing or injuring a character without the player's express permission. - It can be when they simply can't be hit and dodge all attacks or anything for this matter aimed at them. - It can also be using other characters that other people RP with. In other words, if you do not RP as Sasuke, then you cannot have Sasuke say anything, or do anything, without the player's express permission.
The absolute worst is when they make out another character to be what they're not, just to make their own character seem superior. They make others seem weak, screaming for help, when they've made it quite clear about their advantages and strengths. This is called power-play. It's a strain of God Modding, but instead of just being irritating, it's offensive to boot."
So, now we're going to talk about the awesomeness/creatively-made characters known as Mary-Sues/Gary-Stus.
A definition I found online states a Mary/Gary-Sue/Stu is:
"A fe/male character who is so perfect as to be annoying. The male equivalent is the Gary-Stu. Often abbreviated to "Sue". A Sue character is usually written by a beginning author. Often, the Sue is a self-insert with a few "improvements" [ better body, more popular, etc ] The Mary Sue character is almost always beautiful, smart, etc... In short, she is the "perfect" girl/guy."
We suggest you have 1-8 characters. Go over that limit and you may be very, VERY busy. Of course, you can have an unlimited amount of charries.
Crossing Boundaries is a APC site. This means you must make a different account for each new character. This is currently how the site will be, but this may change if we find an easier ranking way.

RULES AND REGULATIONS
adult content
Because this is a rated PG-13 RPG, cursing is allowed. So any word flies with me -- except for the "F-bomb" and the weird pseudonyms for male and female genitalia. Ew. No. I deal with it every day, and I use those words myself, but I will not allow the innocence of some poor thirteen-year-old boy realizing that another name for a penis is a d--k be ruined! Or a girl realizing she has mammary glands ruining her chance at having a date for the senior prom coming up in about five years. <-- Lolwut? But no. In all seriousness, don't use the "P-word," the "other D-word," or any other forms of slang I've been blessed not to know.
Graphic sexy RP posts are prohibited. While some people may appreciate kinky, pornographic imagery, I assure you others will not. Go find some smut on another site-- we don't exactly encourage that here. The ProBoards Terms of Service reads that a forum must be at least PG-13, so I intend to keep it that way to avoid being a thread janitor if we are asked to remove explicit content/threatened to be shut down because of it. Save the sex for Yahoo or whatever-- but don't make CB have to shut down. Jeez!
If you have already read Crossing Boundaries' basic plot, you might've seen it as kind of dark and even sick. I've got news for you-- the former Sound leader WAS dark and/or sick in the head. This does not mean CB promotes inter-species breeding; the plot CLEARLY states, "There are some boundaries that were never meant to be crossed." If you still don't like it, then STFU and GTFO of here.
