CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
Chi[info]cago is the largest city by population in the state of Illinois and the Midwest, and a dominant center of finance, industry and culture in the region. The city was long the "second city" (second in population to New York), and is currently the third-most populous city in the United States, with nearly 3 million people. The city is located almost entirely in Cook County, though a portion of the city's O'Hare International Airport overlaps into DuPage County. The Chicago metropolitan area (commonly referred to as Chicagoland) has a population of over 9.7 million people in Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana, making it also the third largest metropolitan area in the U.S. Adjacent to Lake Michigan, it is the largest city located on the Great Lakes and among the world's twenty-five largest urban areas by population. Chicago has been classified as an alpha world city for its worldwide economic influence.

adds done every 2-5 applications for now. [06 Oct 2017|04:37pm]
APPLY.
Okay, here's what we're going for. We are definitely looking for examples first and foremost. We do need SOME information on your character, so a basic biography, detailed list of facts or a first entry will suffice. We definitely want to know your character's background and basic information. We do not expect a novel.

REQUIREMENTS ON THE APPLICATION!
Please indicate whether your PLAYED BY was held or not and if you were challenging someone else. For your ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER & EXAMPLES we expect links. You must put their first entry, bio or detailed facts in a post in your character journal. If you submit it in your application comment you will be REJECTED! Same goes for your EXAMPLES. You can submit a link to an example journal or links to examples. Do PM us threads / logs or apply them to the application.

EXAMPLES
please request membership to: [info]duce, [info]involved, [info]crypticize and [info]whatnow.

IF YOU ARE REJECTED!
We will simply delete your application. Here are the reasons WHY we would reject someone - if you were rejected for any other reason besides the following, we will pm you and let you know.
  • We did not feel your writing examples were up to par. This could be because your examples lacked detail or the spelling / grammar wasn't proper enough.
  • You failed to follow the rules in one way, shape or form.
  • You were challenged and after reviewing both applications, we decided we liked the other one better.

    rules [05 Aug 2008|05:43pm]
    RULES.
    Most played bys are allowed here. However, we do not allow originals. Played bys age is important too and we are asking that you don't attempt to stretch a played bys real age too far when it comes to their character please! In fact, check out imdb.com to find out an actor or actresses real age so that you can base the age around that.

    Journal and aim names should stay pretty basic. Journal names should be a form of your character's name with nothing extra. Your aim name should have your character's name somewhere in the name. No xnamex aim names and no numbers please!

    No crossing the in character and out of character line. You are not your character and you shouldn't be crossing lines based on your opinions. If you dislike someone ooc, deal with it and don't let it effect the way your character acts.

    No characters in high school please. All characters should be graduated and 18 or over. College students are allowed, of course! Be creative with your character's occupations. Not everyone can be an aspiring fashion designer, local band member, bartender, etc.

    Activity wise, once accepted you have one week to post an intro in the introduction community. After that, we do have an update limit of four weeks. If you haven't updated in that amount of time since being accepted, you're removed from the game. By updates, we mean journal updates and acceptable ones in your journal.

    HOLDING.

    TAKEN BOYS and the TAKEN GIRLS!

    You know what to do. As for challenging, we DO allow it. Why have holds then? Some people do not like to hold - this way they may see who's applying. Not to mention, not everyone who holds actually applies, sadly, so this way, maybe some more roles will still get filled right off the bat. The name will be added when we get your hold request - we will not be replying to hold comments to make it easier on deleting them when we need to!

    CHECK THE TAKEN LISTS!!! THEY ARE RIGHT THERE!


    NO MORE HOLDS, JUST APPLY

    please pimp in [info]pbads and [info]rps!
    HOLDS DO NOT LAST UNTIL FIRST ADDS. THEY LAST 2 TO 3 DAYS BEFORE
    BEING TAKEN OFF THE LIST.
