RULES 1. Choose your avatar carefully, because once you've made your first post with it, you're sticking with it. It doesn't matter if its anthropomorphic, drawn or not drawn, so long as he's manly. If you don't want to change your main avatar, then find yourself a secondary avatar to attach to each of your posts on the group boards, much like how some would add when posting in an RP. This should be put up at the top and centered above your posts. *EXAMPLES OF VALID AVATARS* Spoiler 2. When I say Gentleman's club, I mean Gentleman's club. Meaning that this is an 18+ club, as discussions will feature semi-mature themes. Naturally, we're not gonna go overboard because we're still confined to the rules of this lovely forum, so no porno (but you better believe we'll be getting into swimsuit models one summer comes 'round). 3. I do not care for your sexual preferences. In my eyes and the eyes of the Brotherhood, a man is a man, regardless of what he seeks in a partner. - Should I find out that our members have been harassing/bullying one another over this, the offender will be expelled and reported faster than I can shake my d*** after a hot piss. 4. The topic of beards will be addressed at some point, and likely in more than one occasion. You have to be willing to post a picture of you and your mane when that time comes. Like I said, this is a Brotherhood with a capital 'B': we hold no secrets. If you can't grow a full beard, no worries, just show us what you got. 5. You have to reply to our discussion topic at least once in the week. If you can't make your quota for whatever reason, send me a PM and we're good. Otherwise, you get 2 strikes then you're out. 6. If you have a Topic-of-the-Week that you want to discuss, send me a PM and I'll introduce it the following week. This works on a first come/first serve principle, meaning that if someone already pitched a topic to me, then second will be put up the week after that. 7. Suggestions for invitations come through me. This club is exclusive and I want to make sure I know who's who before I open these doors to them. Membership Form- Username: - Avatar (just attach a link to the text to keep things orderly-lookin'. Once you've picked your avatar, you stick with it. This so that your identity and image within the group be eternal, regardless of what you might change your username into in the future) - Age: - Vow (that's right, we write our own vows. I only want the most sincere and dedicated of bros in this group, and if you can't find the words to prove how serious you are about joining, then we don't want you here. I don't care for length; just convince me). The following is my own: - Username: Spike - Avatar - Age: 21 - Vow: As the founder and Arbiter of this group, I swear past the edge of my ability to make this the most GAR group any message board has ever seen. My eyes are open to the words of my brothers, my heart is open to the pain of my comrades, and my soul is bound to the souls of my brothers. My allegiance is to no single person, but to the group and each and every collective man apart of it. My judgment will be wrought in the name of the group as a whole, and there will be no bad blood between me and he ones who leave us.
Do I by chance have to defend my choice of avatar as a gentleman? I'd keep my current of Varric Tethras, form Dragon Age II, if I may. He is gentlemanly in my mind.
I've no problems with it. Just keep in mind that if you change your avatar at some point, you'll have to attach Varric to your posts from then on.
- tummer - Avatar - 21 - As a member of the club, I vow to aid in keeping the valor and spirit of other the other gentlemen alive. There are many things out there may cause disagreement, but this does not mean I will judge a fellow gentlemen (or person) on one aspect, but instead on his overall character. I will help my fellow man never give up on the quest that they are on. While I may not always join them, I will be an ally and guide to where ones path may lead them. Edit: new Avatar
I don't know the best way to put this without seeming uppity about it, but your chosen avatar doesn't meet the standards I had posted above. Take a look at the examples I put up on the first post for a referral. Other than that, you check out fine.
