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

Rules & Regulations « Thread Started on Nov 13, 2008, 6:10pm »
There is no order here. There are IC (in character) rules, and OOC (out of character) rules.
This is a mature site; cursing is permitted but please don't get too graphic - most of us know basic anatomy; referencing it is unnecessary. As far as violence goes I'm not too concerned about it; I'll monitor it but there are no formal regulations. I'm giong to assume that you will exercise control and not powerplay; post on the basis of another character. As mentioned before this is mature site - in reality sex happens at college but for our purposes let's not delve into intercourse on this site. "Making out" is fine but your account will be deleted if I see posts "rounding the bases", kapeesh? Try to widen the scope of your character's contacts - they should speak with more than one other character. Posts should all be at least 150 words in third or first person. Just for your information I operate under the basis that 500 word posts are extremely short. I concede though that muse and time don't always coincide so 150 is the limit.) The word limit excludes posts in phone calls, text messages, voicemails and instant messenges.
";; the aging of your characters. on the site, your character will remain ONE age. your grade is based on your characters age.
;; SENIOR ;; 25-27 years of age ;; JUNIOR ;; 23-24 years of age ;; SOPHOMORE ;; 21-22 years of age ;; FRESHMAN 2nd YEAR ;; 19-20 years of age ;; FRESHMAN 1st YEAR ;; 18 years of age"
I'm going to address the most urgent matter first; activity. People have lives, I understand, but if you create a character on this site you are making a commitment. There will be activity checks every two weeks; that is the thread will be posted on a Monday and closed the next Monday. If you are absent for two consecutive checks your accounts will be deleted as will your threads. If you are going to have a planned absence you may post the length and dates. (There will be a board provided.) Your account name must consist of your character's first middle and last name in all lowercase without any added characters; we're neat freaks. And for the purpose of sorting please create a new account for every new character, there are no "official" limitations to creating characters but if I see you making over three characters and any of them are inactive I will request that you stop and either delete one and become more active with the ones created prior. In the chat box I will not outlaw arguments - I believe not voicing one's opinions breeds contempt but please if you do argue make it a logical, reasonable debate. Don't make it personal. Fights in character should remain so. Do not harass administration - it's like poking a bear with a stick. If you contact us we will respond asap. That being said please feel free to make suggestions - we are here to help make roleplay fun - De Lorme is your site too.
