Rules
One. Please be respectful towards others. This includes: Do not, I repeat, do not take your frustrations out on another player through your character. This is a form of bullying and we on SH will not put up with this, no sirree.
Two. SH does not support separate character accounts. Upon registering please keep your username sweet and simple and all characters to one central account. We do not want to see any BoBBieJOEs24942's.
three. When you join you are promising to take part in all required polls, nominations, activity checks, or anything that has been deemed required to partake in.
four. Respect is highly valued here toward both member and staff member. Multiple accounts of disrespect toward anyone will result in either a temporary or permanent account ban.
five. We don't want to see a obscene use of profanity. There's a point where it gets tacky and unneeded. 5. No spamming, advertising other sites, or arguing in the cbox.
six. Bullying of any kind will not be tolerated.
seven. Don't pester others. Begging does not help anything.
ICC
One You are allowed five free characters to start off with, but any characters created after that must be bought via the store. It's a character slot. Want more? Buy it.
Two At the end of each academy 'semester' there are finals. These are activity checks. You only have to post with your student characters! Only the students. Then, your student will be graded and awarded appropriately for their activity as well as performance in the academy. If they maintain their grade throughout the duration of their academy life, then they are more likely to find better managers, get more offers, and have a better chance at touring!
three Any marriages, divorces, babies etc have to be bought via the store! One sure fine way to get monies is by posting. You must first ask permission for your character to join with a spouse already, however they can be brought over as engaged! And characters may have children upon creation!
four No God-modding or powerplaying. If you have to question whether or not you should do it, don't do it. If you do not have permission to do it, don't do it. Please keep in mind when you create characters, try not to have all students, or townies, or all ghosts. Keep a variety!
five Always keep the gender and role ratio in mind when creating a character. This goes for your own character group as well. If we notice a greater difference in gender count, bans will be placed until the lesser number catches up.
six There is no word count minimum. However please do your best to keep a good word count ratio when threading with others. Quality over quantity works in more cases than you may think.
Grades, Gifts, and Credit Hours
One: Okay, so your student character has decided to go to SHA and pursue a career in the music industry, right? What now? First off, they need to apply. You can join a student character, and for their first semester it's a free shoo-in for enrollment. However, in order to keep going to SHA, that student needs good grades to stay in school and they need to pay for enrollment.
Two: You're probably asking, well how do I make good grades? The same way you would in a real, you complete the courses you chose for that semester and do your final! We grade in a hundred point system, which will be explained in another thread.
Three Schedules. Each semester a schedule is posted to tell what classes are done where, and at what time just to give you an idea of where your character would be, say at two when she has a vocal study at that time in the classrooms. Granted, if you want to thread your character elsewhere, feel free too! We allow liquid time here! your character is allowed to be in several places at once, of course.
Four: So for full time students, they must complete 12 credit hours a semester, at least. You're more than welcome to take on more than this and if you do, your character gets to graduate early! For part time students, the minimum is eight credit hours. A SH credit hour = 1 post regarding that class. Say you want to take four credit hours in vocal, or that it's required, and four in studio management. You must have four posts in each category to move on to the next rank (freshman to sophomore, sophomore to junior, etc etc.)
Five: At the end of the semester, you're character will take a final, this final will determine their grade for the semester and whether or not they get a free ride to the next semester. Your character can graduate in four seasons, or four semesters.
six: How long is a semester? Well we work with 8 of our months is a year in SH. So divide that by four and you have two of our months is a season. That's two months to complete your credit hours for the semester! Just like our university, however, SH grants breaks for Thanksgiving, Christmas and other holidays! So you won't be posting ALL the time with your student character in just a classroom setting!
