The good, the bad and the ugly. Only one of those three are accepted in De Lorme. Welcome to a kingdom of shallow, wealthy degenerates whose primary goal in life is to live. This is where Angelina's boys will be going, this is where Nicole Kidman's daughter will be going. This is five star, posh and prestigious down to the toilets. The very best money can buy where enough is never enough. So let's play a game - we're all winners.
this is a version3 of the original site! this is a revamp, de lorme is under new management, will have new rules and new requirements. Due to inactivity, de lorme was under the threat of a permanent shutdown. To prevent this from happening in the foreseeable future activity checks will be done weekly. If you are going to be absent and have knowledge prior to this there will be a board provided where you will state how long you will be gone - reasons are irrelevent. Dead threads will be deleted as will inactive accounts. If you come back after say, two weeks and discover your account is gone I make no apologies. This is your warning. Active threads will be salvaged and those already accepted will have escaped the application process - all members after the site has been re-opened will undergo a semi-literate, detailed application; not painful, but it will promote connection with one's characters. Those that post before being accepted will have their accounts disabled for three days at which point they will be allowed to post. I run a tight ship, but I promise it will be worth it. De Lorme is being renovated - be ready and be excited. - Ray
P.S. I would like to thank Jamie for allowing me to continue with De Lorme!! <3

In a small alcove between France and Spain you will find Port Bou, and on the peak of a rather regal looking mountain you will find De Lorme University. Nothing special - except it is.
What does the world do with Daddy's little defects and Mommy's little monsters? The wealthy degenerates of society have always been a source of embarassment to their parents, and it's become no laughing matter. Rather than being sent to boarding school or the furthest military establishment accessible the forgotten leaders of tomorrow find sanctuary in the campus grounds of De Lorme University. True, it does take a certain finesse to meet the academic standards but nothing the parental figures can't fix on a transcript with a some spare change, am I correct? So acceptance isn't such a big deal. The housing for the students has been properly seen to, thanks to a mob of clammering parents who have been heckled by their high maintenance kiddies. Dormitories, apartments and condos for the high end customers. Entertainment has also been provided for, and what would a school be without good eats? While this palace of an institution is bright and shiny on the outside the characters within are not always such rays of sunshine, please recall everyone is human and so the souls that wander within have been given the right to be themselves through the shunning of society and their direct relatives.
Naturally that makes for a couple bitter scholars but honestly, freedom and cash; what more could they expect from the world at this point? It's all about the parties, the relationships and the money. Grades are not often cared for but what seems to be overlooked is that once in De Lorme you are not permanently here. Attendance is a must, and the professors are just as snobby as one might expect them to be at a "rich kid's" academy. Once one is ten minutes late one is counted absent, and that's the end of the story. A variety of majors have been offered, basically added on as demand rose for that given major. Sources of entertainment sprouted up in a fashion akin to that of the majors; demand. De Lorme has become something of its own town, with a predominantly young population. The "town" caters to its inhabitants who in turn get their parents to pay for their stays - much like a hotel with classes tossed into the mix. Cruel joke? Perhaps, but again - the youth of today has been tossed aside; De Lorme is where they find a home. So welcome, welcome to the carnival, welcome to the show...
