THE FAQ.

[THE ADMIN IS A DINOSAUR]

Do you have a question that needs answering and no one is on to lend a hand? Then you can post here! Below are some questions that have been previously asked and their answers answers. (:

1.) What kind of races aren’t allowed?

Creatures like elves, dragons, phoenix’s, fairies, centaurs, most creatures from myth but not all (ask first please), and some others are not allowed. If you’re confused or wondering about it; always ask first. We like the species to go with the sites theme. Asking saves us the trouble and yours as well.

2.) During role play, my character was turned or got “changed” into something else. What should I do?

Contact staff and tell us what happened. We’ll move your characters profile to a different sub-board and change your member group. It’s no big deal. But remember; once you turned, you can’t really turn back. So be sure this is something you want.

3.) Can I be staff? I have experience and run my own site.

…No. Plain and simple.

4.) When do the seasons change?

This Is My Hell run on more of a realistic time set. In America if it’s summer-time in August then the site is in August. If it’s being blown away by cold and blizzards; TIMH will also. This is likely to change, but for now it will stick on a realistic time set.

5.) What happens when a character dies? Are they permanently dead?

That’s up to the role player. As stated in question two, you can change them but inform us. If they died in the role play you can either have them live on as an entity, demon, or angel, or just delete your account. It’s up to you.

6.) Are angels essentially good and demons essentially bad?

More or less, yes. There are always exceptions to the rule.

7.) What the heck is an entity?

A dead being, a ghost, poltergeist, spirit; or something related to that. This can also include some breeds of demons, but given a logical explanation.

8.) Can I start a mafia or crime syndicate?

Yes you can. Have fun. Just don’t get too chaotic and power-play.

9.) Can I have my own sub-board besides the ones dedicated to homes?

More or less it’s a no, but… If you prove yourself to be an active member that won’t vanish randomly anytime soon, then yes; the staff will make you a sub-board as long as it’s within reason. We might say no, so don’t get your panties too caught up in a bunch.

10.) How many threads can you be in?

As many as you want. There is no restrictions.

11.) Are there any limitations to witches and wizards?

Yes, there is. Remember, these are mainly humans we’re talking about, so please, don’t be too powerful. Remember; books, chanting, and the like are what makes a witch a witch. Don’t go crazy with abilities and powers and everything should be fine.

12.) Can I have my thread moved back?

Sure! Just supply the link of the thread and inform staff where it goes and we’d be happy to move it back for you if it was moved to the archives.

13.) Can demons have a demon form?

If you want them to, sure. Remember though; they’d have to hide it and walk amongst Earth as a human.

14.) Is there a limit on how much history my character can have?

As long as it meets the minimum. Though if your character is old (as in not human), we would like your character to have some events form their past to present. After all, if they’re that old, some events had to have happened to shape them, no? In other words: the history will reflect their age.

15.) I was deleted in the past but now I’m back. Can I repost my character?

Of course you can. If they were accepted back then they should most likely be accepted now. We’d love to have you back.

16.) I’m having trouble finding a role playing partner. Advice?

PM’ing a character you find interesting is a good way to get a partner. We also advise for people to post in the “Lounge” section. Start your own thread and/or post in others to get a plot going. You can also ask in the CBox – that helps as well. We also have an Open Thread Directory – you can check that out. If you still think that doesn’t work, hit Teej up a PM and he’ll help.

17.) Are people born as hunters and witches?

Here on This Is My Hell, witches are not species, but an occupation. Same with Hunters. It’s an occupation to us. You can be whatever species you want to be and still be a witch or a hunter. It’s up to you and if it fits your character. One becomes a witch by practicing the arts (a book is always required) and hunters just need training.

18.) My account was deleted when there wasn’t an activity check! Why is that?

It’s always nice to read over site rules before you join. We have a little rule about activity in there. It’s nothing major. We just do a little bit of cleaning with accounts that haven’t signed on in a while to give the site a more of an active slate and to free face’s. You can always re-join no problem. Just try to at least sign in next time so we know that you’re still with us!

19.) I want to make a creature from myth. A mermaid, a siren, and a fairy, but the site doesn’t allow them. Is there a way that I can still make them?

As a specie, no. However, we do allow demons with powers on This Is My Hell. So your ‘demon’ can have the powers/abilities of a fairy if you want a fairy-like being, the powers/abilities of a mermaid for that character, and the powers/abilities of a siren. That’s probably our only exception to this. So in some ways you can still make characters like this though take in mind there are some exceptions. Any questions, just ask.

20.) So my character was accepted by one staff member, can I RP now?

Not yet! We here at This Is My Hell have a little 2-point system. Where one staff member reads, then the head admin double checks. So each application gets two different views in case someone misses something - for no one is perfect. :] If the head admin gives the OK, then feel free to do your claims and RP!.

21.) So, is it just you that makes the final decision?

No. I discuss things with other staff members and members themselves whom I believe will give me a valid reason why. In conclusion, this is more of a democracy, but I do get the last say in things. I just ask around to get an array of answers and opinions before making my final say. Just remember; staff members here have the same authority I do; so if there is something that needs changing; please cooperate.

21.) Can I edit my characters application?

Yes; however, you should let the main administrator know of this so that staff can re-read the application and make sure that the changes fit. We spent time to read the application and would like it if it made sense
