Straight to the Point: There is no OOC/IC crossing. This is something every game says, and if you haven't figured it out by now then this is not the place for you. Please PM us if there are any issues, and we will handle it on a case-by-case basis.

• your journal must be in character, and should contain no numbers, underscores
• your character must be within 5 years of your pb's age. use your best judgment on this.
• We ask you to submit a biography that consists of at least 300 words in lieu of examples

OR
you may submit a small blurb and examples. The choice is yours, but we want to see at least the basic information on your character.
• once you're accepted, you must intro in ~diners within 72 hours.
• We do not have a character limit, but ask you to use your best judgement when knowing what you can handle.
• We do not accept challenges, it is a first come first service basis.

• UPDATED 8/1/2022: we ask for two updates a month at your leisure. While they can be just about anything we do ask all activity submitted for the month to show effort. This can be html type posts such as social media posts, playlists, moodboards, or an entry or narrative with a word count of at least 100+ words. We will accept plot posts as a form of activity. We will not be accepting one liner posts or posts with just a photo posted. At this time we will still accept lyrical posts, but they must be accompanying one of the posts above. They cannot be submitted along side a ~pbads post or a FFA interaction. We want to see some creativity! We ask for at least one post have comments enbabled to encourage interaction.

• ADDED 11/20/2021: We will accept a detailed ~pbads post every four months in lieu of a second form of activity in your journal. We ask this post to be more than just a couple words as we will not be counting that. We also will be posting more free for all's that if you interact/participate you can submit as your second form as activity. You cannot submit a ~pbads post and your FFA interaction in the same month. You must have at least one form of activity in your journal if you are using either of these options as your second activity.

• added before the 15th - two updates
• added after the 15th - intro and one comment enabled update
• added after the 25th - intro only
you do not need to provide us with a link to your introduction.

• to avoid being removed, you must follow the activity requirements above. It is your job to make sure you have dropped off both your links to us before the removal date. It is not our job to keep track of your activity.

• The removal date will be listed at the beginning of the month, but will more than likely take place the last day of the month.

• We will also be montioring friends lists and how often the button is being run. If numerous adds have passed and your friends list is very out of date, you may be removed. So we ask all players to keep up with their friends list.

• If you are removed for inactivity, you must reapply with a form of activity.

• If you are in need of a hiatus for any reason, please reach out to the moderators in the members area post. We will grant hiatus up to 3 weeks, but if more time is needed please let us know.
• We will allow extensions up to a week. You may not request an extension twice in a row.

• If you are lookiing for your character to own a business, we suggest first looking at our area directory. As Bar Harbor is a smaller area, we do suggest looking to see if there are a number of similar businesses listed already. If you are interested in claiming ownership or just running already established business in the area, please just let us know before applying!

• At this time we are not allowing the use of WIRE & DISCORD, but this may change later. If it does, this will be something the mod team will offer.
