Hi! These are just a few general posting guidelines to make play more coherent.

1:  Post in the third person, please.
  ex:  Joey ran down the dirt road and into the field, sure he'd escaped the bullies from up the creek.
  not:  I ran down the dirt road and into the field, sure I'd escaped the bullies from up the creek.

2: If you're playing a new adult or foster child, please make your arrival post long enough to introduce your character adequately.  You don't have to put in spoilers about the character, just make sure you describe them physically and what their attitude may appear to be.  Also their feeling about the situation and not just what they say. Think about what you are replying to.

3: All limits must be respected.

4: You must post regularly unless you let us know you will be away.  Even if you're just bogged down at school/work, leave us a note.

5: Starting threads if fun and important in this sort of game.  If you intend for it to be for specific people, please mark who the playing characters are in the subject line.  If you would like to join one of these predetermined threads, please ask the people involved if they mind you joining them.  Some threads are intended for very particular reasons and too many characters slow down the thread's plot development.  If you don't state who the thread is for, this is considered an open thread for anyone to join.

6: If you are doing a thread with more than two people and one person has to take a few days off or just signs off for the day, do not continue the thread to the point that they are left four rooms behind. This is very inconsiderate to that player.  If you'd like to continue playing, just start a new thread.  The exception to this is if the player says that you can continue and they'll catch up.

7: There will be no posting for other players in this game.  That means feelings, actions, or words.  The exception to this is the NPCs that anyone can play.  Just make sure you play them according to their profile.

8: All posts have to be a minimum of 3-4 lines. Otherwise, there is nothing to post to. anyone posting less with be given a warning. After 3 warnings you will be removed from the site.

9: This is VERY important -- HAVE FUN!

Playing is very easy.

1. You sign in as your username.

2. You find the family list and see what family you're put into.

3. To start playing you post your arrival at The Grove if your a child... If you're an adult you can either post arriving in town by moving into your own new home or by attepting to meet with a child in need of fostering and adoption.

4. Just have fun.

5. If you have problems, contact a moderator.

Grant Lang inherited an island from his great, great grandfather. On the island's West Side is the island airport, along with a  County Train Station and Greyhound Bus Station. You can get to the East Side by train or bus. You can only leave the island via airplane. Both the train and bus connections with Mount Pleasant's Westside. You can get a bus to downtown Mount Pleasant's West Side. Your ride from the west side to the east side will be very scenic ride and most relaxing.

East side was built a small town which would be rebuilt into a nice town or even a big city which could flourish. Grant and his close cousin Mark's favorite place in England.  Grant would run the town and west Side of the Island as it begins to grow. He would be the Mayor to begin a new life for them both. They would make Mount Pleasant the best place to be Mark would be there starting up the city on his side of the island.

Mark was originally a Journalist. This time around he and Grant were going to run a ranch for small troubled kids. Small families would settle on the ranch to help the children and teenagers. The trouble children and teenagers would come from around the globe. Social workers would bring troubled kids from around the globe to learn about life and love. It was their destiny to find love and family on the ranch. The ranch will grow slowly.
