RPGing and writing are the absolute MAIN purposes of this website. WhatEverEva was created as a safe haven for writers from The-N who were getting fed up with the strict rules and lack of serious material to write for. After a few years of being up, WEE has grown and become ready to be a casual RP and testing site for all interest writers.
So you want to create an RPG, but aren't sure what works or not? You want to find a group of writers that are fully committed as you are and are actually going to post well-thought-out posts and help to develop your ideas? You want a place to go to that makes you feel comfortable and not scrutinized under a microscope? Well, you've come to the right place.
WEE was created to solve not only those problems, but loads of others as well. But, like every other site out there on the interwebs we have rules as well.
Don't fret. There aren't many rules we try to enforce her at WEE. You're almost allowed to do anything and everything to your heart's content, but there are a few things that will not be tolerated. [new rules are added/old rules deleted upon discussion]

- Rules & Guidelines -
Don't fret. There aren't many rules we try to enforce her at WEE. You're almost allowed to do anything and everything to your heart's content, but there are a few things that will not be tolerated. [new rules are added/old rules deleted upon discussion]
- Participation: While you aren't required to join every RPG on the site, it's best that you at least try to delve into something on the site. Whether it's writing your own RSG, RPG, or joining in someone else's story, or partaking even in the chat at the bottom of the main page. We like it that you try to make it be known that you're here. It seems rather silly to just lurk and do nothing else. Stop by and say hi, I promise, we don't bite. At least some of us don't.
- Follow Posting Etiquette: This is pretty easy. Writing a complete sentence isn't hard at all! Though, if you're one of the people who don't know where to begin in doing that just ask around and I'm positive that someone will be willing to help you on that. We're not huge grammar freaks, well... most of us aren't, but we do know the difference from right and wrong. However, if you are to mess up on your post, you're always able to continue to edit them thanks to a cool function called: Modify.
- Stay Committed: I can only stress this so much. Joining and suddenly leaving not only annoys the creator of the RP, it annoys the other writers as well. It's your duty as writers to stick to what you join. I know that there are temptations outside this place, but I will let you know that giving a heads up when you're leaving or going to be busy is the greatest thing you can do. Leaving without warning, is not.
- Be Friendly [or somewhat Cordial]: You aren't forced to like everyone on WEE [hell, you're not forced to like anyone actually. I know I don't!], but you should at least try to be friendly with them while in a group setting, such as writing RPGs or in the chat box. Sometimes we just can't get along with people and that's understandable. However, it'd be better to talk about your problems with an Admin be it Eva, Gafe, myself, or anyone on the admin list. Instead of having a big blowout, things can be talked out and resolved.. be it in a small manner or something much more major.
- Keep Spam to a Minimum: You won't be forced not to talk off topic, but we would like it that so that spam isn't a reason for postage.
While we want to remain a little more lenient on offenders of these crimes, I will let it be known that chances won't come a dime a dozen. If you break a rule once, you'll go off almost scott free. However, if you continue to break rules on a count of you wanting to be some kind of douchey ass-hat, the Admins and Mods will discuss your future at WEE. If we feel your actions are THAT severe, it'll result in a perma-ban. We haven't actually had to do any of that to anyone as of yet, but don't think we won't consider doing it. Because we will.
