[/ul][/blockquote]What kind of site is this?We are trying something different and new here at JellySlugs and Jinxes. We are a primarily ICC oriented site with cboxes available around the board that allows players to RP in real time (even quicker than rapid fire). We do, however, allow and fully support traditional posting. The staff wanted to create a site for the busy role player, sometimes as much as we would like to post full posts, life just is too much.
What if I've never ICCed before?That's alright, we welcome everyone from ICC beginner to ICC pro! And we're always willing to help people figure things out in the cbox or through PM. But just in case, here's a quick guide:
- use your character's name as your display name, and display an icon of your character's play by by clicking on the person outline on the lower left and adding the picture there
- many people display actions by using asterisks, dashes, or slashes. There is no right or wrong way to display speech or actions, do whatever works best for you
- ICC is for in character chatting only. If you want to make comments out of character about what is going on in the ICC, feel free to use the main cbox or another chatting app
- the ICCs in the boards and sub-boards are public, meaning that any character can enter any cbox at any time, regardless of who is already in there and what is happening. If you wish to participate in a private, invitation only ICC, you may use the Private ICCs in the Member's Lounge.
- It is easy to use a Private ICC. Just make sure no one is currently active in there first, then fire away.
- When you are finished with the Private ICC, please have your characters leave the location and/or write that you are finished and the ICC may be used by someone else (this is one of the few times OOC chat is acceptable in an ICC)
- If a Private ICC has not been used in two hours, it automatically opens up to be used again by someone else
Do you have any bans right now?
We are excluding adults at this time. If interest is brought, we are happy to open up to adults.
Do you accept Original Characters?
Yes, we love Original Characters!
Can canon adults (i.e. Harry Potter, George Weasley, Astoria Malfoy) be played?
Not at this time. If there is significant interest in adults, we are happy to open the site to all adults.
Can I change my face claim?
Yes, you can, as long as the play-by is available. Just post in the face claim thread if you would like to do this. We do not have a limit on how many times you can change the play-by, however we ask that you don't go crazy. If we believe that you are changing the face too much, too often, we will PM you and warn you that you can only change the play-by one more time before you're stuck with that face.
If a play-by/canon is in the application process, can I still use/apply for them?
Yes, unless they are reserved. But until someone is accepted/claimed, they are up for grabs.
I really want to play a specific canon character, and they are claimed on the canon list, but when I checked their profile I saw that they haven't posted in over a month. Can I apply for this character?
Check the away threads and PM one or both admin, but odds are, if someone hasn't posted with their canon in over a month, it will be taken from them and up for grabs. Our rules state that people need to post with their character at least once a week and that if someone hasn't posted with their canon character in a month, it will be taken from them. However there could be extenuating circumstances, so it is best to PM an admin to be sure before you start your application.
Likewise, if you want a certain face claim and notice that the character who has that face claim has not posted in over a month, PM an to ask about taking that face claim.
How should I register?
You can register however you like, as long as you change your display name to that of your character (First M Last) once your application is completed.
How long will it take for my application to be looked at?
We try to get to applications as soon as possible, but please keep in mind that both admins work full time andtry tohave lives outside the site. Please wait 72 hours before asking about your application if it has not been responded to yet. In that case, we would prefer that you PM an admin (or both). Admins are people too, and while we like to get to apps right away, we can't always do that; asking about them just annoys us and makes us feel pressured. This includes any "subtle" hints that your app is waiting. Odds are, you're not that subtle and doing that will just make us want to make you wait even longer.
I've been accepted! Now what?
Congratulations! We're so glad you decided to join us! There are just a few things you need to do before you start posting.
- claim your play-by in the face claim thread
- if you're taking a canon character, claim them in the canon character list
- quidditch? prefect? special ability? we have claims for those, too!
- You might want to start a plot page/shipper to establish relationships your character will have. Don't be afraid to post in other people's either!
Making your claims can help save the admin from giant headaches if someone wants your face claim or canon and you haven't claimed them.
[/font][/blockquote][/div][/blockquote]If you have a question that is not answered in here, you can ask in the cbox, PM an admin, or reply to this thread with it. We prefer that you ask in this thread, so that others who may have the same question in the future can see the response. This board is guest friendly, so you can post a question even if you are not a member.
