■ Welcome to Springfield ■
The whole 1950s notion was find the right girl, get married, move to the suburbs, then hang out with the guys while she stayed home with the babies.

Premise
■ The year is 1955. The air is fresh, the mood is jubilant, and the food is weird. Welcome to Springfield, my friend. A comical parody of a generic, 1950's American town where anything goes, and nothing is as it seems. You will cook up your own unique character, and guide them through daily life in Springfield. Maneuvering around obstacles such as the Red Scare, racial prejudice, and much more, you'll attempt to lead yourself to the American Dream - and make friends along the way. In order to accurately simulate the daily climate of this era, there will be some offensive and what might be considered today as unacceptable topics, but I trust that we can all be mature and try and limit these, and not receive them as intentional, OOC comments or actions. ■
■ A few things to make clear;
A) Please, realistic characters only.
B) While this will be a somewhat comedic and lighthearted rp, please keep things somewhat serious as well. ■
PLEASE READ
Heyo! Me here. If you're new to RP, here's a coupla tips that ought to help you through this adventure. This is required unless I say otherwise.
How to RP
Well, the title is pretty straightforward. Alright, let's see. Hmmmm.....
Perfect!
Okay. You're a young woman, taking a stroll along your neighborhood street when suddenly, a man pops up behind you! Oh no! He has a gun! Well, most newcomers to RP would usually get stuck on the first sentence. So let's get to the tips.
THE RULES
[-] 1. No metagaming, godmodding, and the like. If you've participated in RPs before, you know what we're talking about. Newbies, go here or here
[-] 2. OP's and Co-OP's word is final. You can argue, and if determined an OP is overreaching I'll step in. Obey or you get the ban hammah!
[-] 3. Be realistic. No, you can't have star lasers and know the Soviet nuclear codes. This rule will be fairly lax, to an extent.
[-] 4. Your posts may be as long as you'd like, as long as they're more than a paragraph or so.
[-] 5. No magic, no fairies, none of it. Remember what I said about being realistic? Keep that in mind. Always.
[-] 6. Respect your fellow players. If you have a problem with someone, keep it civil and don't let it spill over ICly.
[-] 7. ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THE FOLLOWING; Killing off characters without permission, changing historical events without permission, cyberbullying, NSFW content, virgins (ha-ha), and/or Elvis hating.
