  Antiquities Hotel: Horror or Hoax?
  
  
  
  ​
  
  
  
  
  
  
  People often say that the places with the most traumatic places are the places where paranormal activity is the highest. These places attract believers and skeptics alike and many have a habit of converting skeptics. None so much as the Antiquities Hotel in Pennsylvania. Built on the grounds of a once-extensive asylum, miles from any urban area, the Antiquities Hotel has been abandoned for decades following a mysterious unsolved murder. The details of the asylum’s existence and practices have been lost in time, though they were believe to be unlawful and immoral. Now the hollow shell of the Antiquities Hotel is a tourist attraction for those willing to brave a few hours within its crumbling walls. Stories of experiences within the Antiquities Hotel are often left to the smallest details, its website boasting some choice words such as “life changing,” “thrilling,” “absolutely terrifying.” The mysterious owners of the hotel communicate very little with the outside world and just as very little is known about the hotel and its history, little is known about the current owners beside the fact they strongly believe in the paranormal activity that occurs at the hotel. Requests for a few hours in the hotel are often met with a date and a time window, neglecting other details. Also they claim no responsibility for events that occur on the property during your tour and will not reimburse you for "any harm done, physical or emotional" and a waiver must be signed. This Halloween weekend only brave ghost hunters can attempt to break the record for longest night at the Antiquities Hotel of 4 hours and 27 minutes and win a cash prize of $500. If you’re looking to spend a night at the hotel, contact details can be found on their website. But be warned, the homepage of the website reads:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  "ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK
  
  
  Some of the current residents may not want you to enter their home
  
  
  Some may not want you to ever leave"

  I reserve the right to replace or remove anyone participating in the roleplay. Depending on the offense, you may be given a warning or two before being kicked out or you may be kicked out immediately. Feel free to inform me about any issues you have about these rules or you may have with group members during the roleplay.

  No god-moding/Mary Sues/Etc
  
  This is just a basic rule you should always follow. Make your characters realistic, realistic characters have flaws.
  
  Proper grammar is a must
  
  English doesn't have to be your first language but you must understand how to write it. A few mistakes every now and then are okay but if you write in "txt talk" or just have terrible grammar, you will not be accepted into the roleplay. This is absolutely nonnegotiable.
  
  A minimum of one response per day
  
  This requirement may be negotiated on certain circumstances but it's important to be online often to help move the plot along
  
  A minimum of one paragraph per response
  
  A paragraph in this case is defined as at least six lines of solid content
  
  Being rude out of character is unacceptable
  
  Your partners are your friends. You should bond over the RP, not bicker and argue. In character, there are no restrictions as long as your character has good reason.
  
  Be original
  
  Don't be afraid to stray from the norm. A diverse cast is far more realistic!
