as you can see, we don't steal anything; so don't steal from us and we won't steal from you, mmkay?
You will find the rules, the plot and all the goody information about the board here. You should read this before joining, because then you will know for sure if you are interested in joining. If you joined before reading all this important info., you pretty much wasted ten seconds of your life.
Basically, as you can see, this is where all the staff hang out in a beautiful paradise where there are no members to watch. Haha, just kidding. The staff converses about forum-wide and board wide problems, updates and all the upcoming stuff so you guys aren't bored most of the time.
Do you have some sort of problems with a certain board? Maybe you don't understand something and want to get it cleared up. Or have a question and want an answer? This is just the place to do it. We also like to have comments from the members here, to see what they think of the place. Gives the staff a sense of accomplishment, if you will.
Old threads, inactive threads, old profiles, inactive characters, dead characters...They all go here for safe keeping, just in case. If you would like something moved contact a staff member.
Here is where all the magic happens. You can create your character here to play on the boards--just follow the template, fill it out as best as you can and hope that you've been accepted into one of the best schools in Japan.
Characters that have been accepted are moved here for safe-keeping. If you feel the need to edit/modify something, contact a staff member to unlock your profile.
Here you can create various relationship plots for your characters--figure out who are your friends, your enemies, and your lovers are. One plot per character please.
The first thing you see when you enter Shirosawa Gakkuen is the large administrative office. Various desks and other sub-offices liter the area, many people coming to and fro for their mail, for announcements--even the occasional student who got in trouble and needs to see the principal. In the back lies the scary and demeaning Principal's Office.
Four different court yards are found at Shirosawa Gakkuen. One each in the north, south, east and west wing of the school. The court yards are usually littered with students during lunch time, before classes and after classes, and the occasional student who tends to skip classes here or there.
A large area is designated as the school's cafeteria--nearly taking up one third of the first floor. The cafeteria is always filled with students during lunch time. To the sides are vending machines and the large dug-out area where students can buy the school's food for lunch.
You will find the dormitories for all the students here. The female students take the north and east dormitories, while the male students attend to the west and the south dorms. No one of the opposite sex can enter the dorms of the opposite sex. So play safe, kiddies.
The first floor of the school is mainly the classrooms and lockers of the first years and their academic classes. You will normally find the majority of the teachers here are those who teach the first years.
The second and third years share the second floor of the school--the various classes mixed together and littered all over the place. The second floor tends to be a tad bit cleaner than the first, as the second and third years are well behaved and know that cleanliness is the way to go (at least, most of them do.)
The large shopping district of city is quite populated day and night. All sorts of stores and carts are all over the place. Restaurants, cafes, a large towering department store, and even a tourist shop lies in the heart of the district.
A large sized park lies towards the east section of the city, surrounded by luscious trees and even a small playground and swing sets for small children to play at. There are various trails that meander through the park if the occasional person comes for a jog or just wants to take a park that goes out into the forest or even into the heart of the city.
The main attraction to the place--the city! Here you can browse through the stores and find all the tourist shops and attractions. Trolley rides, train rides to the other places in Japan, and so many other things.
Most of the houses, big or small, apartments or mansions are found within the southwestern area of the city. Either you live by yourself, you live with your parents, you live in a shared house, or you just end up on the streets. It all depends on if you have the money to pay for all the stuff.
To the south of the city, a large forest covers the area--called the Soudai Rikka Forest (Grand Snow). If you dare yourself to travel deep within the lush trees and grass, perhaps you will find a hill, known as Naibun Ukiyo Hill (Secret Life), where many mysteries are found but none are solved.
