down in flames

america the beautiful...or that's what the song claims. but if you travel to the heart of the u.s. where it all happens, you'll find a completely different story. washington d.c is home to the country's best and worst politicians. is there truth and beauty hiding beneath the scandals, affairs, and ruthless schemes, or is the country burning down in flames?

also the first event is happening! please keep all event threads within the summer flood forum! it makes it easier to move the event when it closes! it'll be open for at least a week if not longer. ENJOY! 

[downinflamesrp]

Hey guys! So the event will go up as soon as I get home tonight! Just to be a spoilsport I'll give you a hint on what it is. It's some sort of natural disaster. Not in disastrous size but it will include a blackout of the city. Nothing is running, no one is getting in or out. Expect some cabin fever and high emotions. ;D Also look forward to an announcement about a few things too! xoxox

[downinflamesrp]

late night musings. anything you guys would like to see on the site? anything you dislike that we might be able to accomodate better? we want your opinions on matter since it's not all about us! so give us advice yeah?

[downinflamesrp]

Little less then two hours until reserves run out guys! Make sure you re-reserve or get an app up! You have five days to complete an app before it's archived. Just so you know! Toss a message in our inbox if you need more time on your reserve!

[downinflamesrp]

So there have been a couple of people who want an earlier or later time. The best for us would be later. So would you guys rather open later? Tell us what works best for you guys?

ANNOUNCEMENT: OPENING TIME

How does 6pm EST, 3 pm PST, and 11 pm GMT suit people?

[downinflamesrp]

i'm so excited skdfj;aslkdjfasdf are we still allowed to reserve even if the site is opening tomorrow?

we’re so glad you’re excited!! but as we’re opening just tomorrow we’re going to close reserves now - when the site opens, you can reserve faces then!

[downinflamesrp]

can d.c royalty be originals?

absolutely!

[downinflamesrp]

So those prompts you released, are they the only prompts we will be able to use? Or are there more that haven't been released yet? And will they be released before opening?

those are the only prompts! remember you can always go the freestyle route if you don’t like the prompts. :D

Important Announcement on Opening!

Hey guys! So we were planning on opening tomorrow! Everything is looking so good and we didn't want to make you wait any longer! But I (Violet) am in the middle of tear down for the classroom I work in tomorrow and then right after I have my side job to go to. And I'm sort of panicking over everything being ready for you guys! SO I've decided to push back opening till Thursday, May 23rd! I really hope this isn't an inconvenience and you guys all understand that I just want to give you the best from the start! I know how sucky it is to wait for a site to open! But I hope you guys will forgive us if we give you some super awesome previews of the skin and the app tomorrow! (:

app prompts!

these are just a few of the prompts you can use for your app! you will be able use two prompts. no more, no less! if you're not a prompt fan, we have freestyle and traditional (personality & history) apps as well! don't fear a word count. we have it at ~500 in total (so 250 per prompt, if you choose to do so!) but if you write us a novel, we'll read it all, if all you need is a five paragraph essay, that's just fine too. QUALITY NOT QUANTITY! Ok now you can have prompts! XOXO!

1. describe your (immediate) family and the part you play in it. are you the mediator? the black sheep? etc.

2. are you more of an extroverted people person, or do you live a more internalized life? explain.

3. what are your political beliefs? do you tend to be more right wing or left?

4. does your character have a special talent, ie: with art, instruments, etc.?

5. describe a person who plays/has played a significant role in your character's life, and how/why.

6. which of the seven deadly sins (pride, lust, greed, sloth, envy, wrath, gluttony) is your character most susceptible to? keep in mind that these are not meant to be taken by their exact definition, ie: gluttony doesn't just mean overconsumption of just food.

7. is your character more of a theoretical thinker, or do they tend to be more methodical?

8. your home has just been broken into. what is the first thing you do immediately after finding out?

9. when your character can't sleep, what kind of thoughts keep them up?

10. if you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go, and why?

[downinflamesrp]

I'm thinking it's time for a few app prompts to be released. Anyone else think that might be a good idea?! ;D
