activity
Let's be real, without activity the game will die. Period. Activity checks are every two weeks on Sundays, and there will be a post in the mod journal for you to comment with your activity. Failing to comment will result in your removal, so keep track of your posts and remember to reply to the activity check reminders asap. Narratives, scenes posted to the IC comm, random or lyric posts, instagram or tumblr mock ups and first person journal entries all count but you may only use random or lyric posts twice in a row. Every six weeks, you'll be expected to submit something different.

realism
We want you to have fun in the game, but we also want you to remember how expensive NYC is. Please make sure your character's financial situation matches their income! Faux celebs will be allowed, to an extent, but please run these ideas by us first before applying. Pregnancies last nine months, people who get married after three weeks of dating usually end up just as quickly divorced, etc. Just use common sense. If you're not sure, ask!

ooc drama
Basic RP rules apply: don't harrass people, don't godmod, don't cross the ooc/ic line. Please treat people with respect! We'll always listen to questions or concerns and if you have a problem with another player, we want you to come to us so we can help. As far as ooc drama goes, you will get one warning and on the second, we'll remove you.

applying
You need a journal to apply, of course. It must include your character's name only, no underscores or numbers. AIM is not required, but it's heavily, strongly encouraged. Your aim name must be based on your character's name, extra words are fine, but no numbers, please. In your character journal you a bio or a link to a bio and both a spam and an ooc contact post. As long as you have all these things, it can be divvied up between two and three separate posts. That's up to you, as long as everything is there. Examples are a must, please review them before you apply to make sure you're showing off your best writing!

extras
The mods are very dedicated to making this community work. We want it to thrive, and we want you to have fun! As such, we're going to add things in to help spice up the game: there'll be citywide events your character can take part in, gift drop offs, secret santas, etc. We'll also have an update theme of the month, and the mods will pick the best entry as it pertains to the theme. That person will be rewarded with a prize: a rename token, an update pass, or a month of paid time, etc. Suggestions for things you want to see are ALWAYS welcome. Please leave them in the drop box!
