HOW TO JOIN -

First, request membership to the community with the journal you wish to join with.

In order to join, you must comment to this post with the following:

For characters that were present in apurgatorium:
Character name: (family name last for consistency's sake) Character fandom: Canonpoint character came from: (most recent canon update of the version you're bringing in, where applicable) Character's sin(s): Character journal: (the one you had in Purg for this character) Character journal: (the journal you wish to join the comm with, if not the same as above) Was this character dropped or still in Purg in 2010? Player name: Contact info: (although AIM and/or an e-mail address are preferred if you're not comfortable giving out personal information a journal entry for players to comment when they need to get in touch with you works just as well.) Contact information is - until further notice - OPTIONAL. Link to application (optional.): Anything else:

Once verified that your character was originally in Purg, your request to join the community will be accepted.

For new characters:
Character name: Character fandom: Canonpoint character came from: Character's sin(s): Character journal: Character's personality: (This can be a description of the character's personality, a sample log in either first or third person, or a copy and paste/link to previous instances you've played this character to name a few. There is no length requirement.) Feel free to get creative with this, just avoid linking things that can be removed for copyright violations like youtube links. A link to info about the character from their canon: (wikipedia prefered) Previous character(s) played in Purg (if applicable): Invited by (if applicable): Player name: Contact info: Anything else:


There are NO exceptions to this process, even if I know you were in Purg and I know what journal you used in Purg, everyone must follow these steps in order to gain membership. Comments are screened.


edit: Tip for anyone that wants to go the distance like most of our current comments below, and add their own application. Sign into the character journal you used when you applied, you'll find the 'this is [character]'s journal!' comment required after the mod acceptance comment on the application page.

Questions for the mods or issues go here.

Please note, if your question is about something that is - or should be - covered in the FAQ, that question should be posted there instead.

Comments to this entry will be screened.

I. The next five rules should go without saying, but, be civil towards other players and avoid unnecessary wank. If problems arise, do try to contact the mods for help before you do anything drastic. Talking it out is often much less of a hassle than weaving a conspiracy.

II. Try your best to write legibly. No one expects Nobel Prize quality, but since roleplay relies heavily on words, it's recommended to be able to communicate your ideas properly. That includes proper use of punctuation, spelling and grammar.

III. IC actions = IC consequences. Obviously, everything your character does will have some sort of reaction from the other characters, so keep that in mind when you do something that might have a big impact on developments. There's always the possibility of retconning something if all players agree that you've reached a dead end, but let's not abuse that option too much.

IV. IC =/= OOC. Try not to blur the IC/OOC line. Just because a character is a mean jerk to yours doesn't mean the player has a problem with you. On the other side, try not to use your character to voice complaints you as player have and don't want to address personally. Characters should stay in character at all times.

V. Godmoding and metagaming are not allowed. For clarification, godmoding means that you decided on the action of another player's character without their consent (ie. posting about their character being shot by yours when the player never agreed to it, etc.) Metagaming includes using OOC knowledge when your character should not be aware of it (i.e. Light Yagami is Kira, but characters who have never met him can't know that he kills people on regular basis, even if the player does). Neither are allowed in any form.

VI. This DR is not age rated, so everyone can join. However, posts that contain adult material should be friends-locked and labeled as such. Everyone participating in such posts should be old enough to do so.

VII. To speak OOC, for plotting purposes or simply to chat with fellow players, there's our AIM chatroom apurgatorium. Feel free to invite yourself at any time and talk (or remain in awkward silence).

VIII. As this is just a dressing room, activity checks will not happen. However, player effort and participation are the key to keeping this place alive, so try to tag around in order to help keep things going.

IX. Be sure to check the FAQ for further information on setting, game mechanics and other issues. We reserve the right to answer any questions already answered in the FAQ with "Read the FAQ". If there is still something that's unclear, comment there or contact a mod and we'll work it out as soon as we can.

X. And most importantly: Have fun!
