This board is to give a helping hand to those who are still new to RP or for those who want to simply better themselves. All manner of hints and tips will be found here and you are welcome to add your own if you think they will be helpful.

Here, the application form can be found, as well as the canon list and face claim.

Post your plot ideas or wanted ads here. Just a hint -- make them interesting and people will be more likely to go along with them.

Relationship charts can be useful for keeping track of who your character knows. They aren't mandatory but they are handy.

Thread trackers are really handy to help you keep an eye on what threads you're in, and they can make a nice little record of all your threads you've done. Again, having one of these isn't mandatory, but they're useful.

There are times when talking face to face are not an option, either through distance or cowardice regarding the subject. Letters are perfect for times such as these. All in-character letters go here.

Want to send a gift to another but would rather not do it face-to-face? Do so here.

All threads for the Masquerade Ball can be found here.

The Grand Cascade is modeled on one constructed for Louis XIV at his Château de Marly. At the center of the cascade is an artificial grotto with two stories, faced inside and out with hewn brown stone. The fountains of the Grand Cascade are located below the grotto and on either side of it. Their waters flow into a semicircular pool, the terminus of the fountain-lined Sea Channel. In the 1730s, the large Samson Fountain was placed in this pool, a gold statue depicting the moment when Samson tears open the jaws of a lion.

The expanse of the Lower Gardens is designed in the formal style of a garden à la française of the 17th century. The many fountains located here exhibit an unusual degree of creativity. One of the most notable designs is entitled 'The Sun'. A disk radiating water jets from its edge creates an image of the sun's rays, and the whole structure rotates about a vertical axis so that the direction in which the "sun" faces is constantly changing.

This huge room screams extravagance. It it decorated in the French style and is breathtaking. Beautiful paintings line the walls, reflected in the shimmering marble floor, and there is a massive table to seat forty on a raised platform at the far end of the hall.

The ballroom is directly off the great hall, seperated by a large wooden door. The most note-worthy feature of this wonderful ballroom is the massive gold chandelier suspended from the center of the ceiling. The floor is highly polished wood, and rows of mirrors line one of the walls. There are large glass doors that lead out onto the balcony. When in use, a band plays both inside and out on the balcony, so the music is continues even if you choose to take some air.

Positioned at the centre of the palace is the Picture Hall. . Its walls are almost entirely covered by a series of 368 paintings, mostly of variously dressed women, differing in appearance and even age, yet most were drawn from a single model. These were purchased in 1764 from the widow of the Italian artist P. Rotari, who died in St. Petersburg.

The library is the only 'plain' room in the entire palace, since it is barely used by the Russian Royal family. It is not extravagant, but it is well-stocked with all kinds of books. It is quite small, but the bookshelves go from floor to ceiling on every wall, only broken up by a tall window that allows plenty of light to filter into the room. There is a fireplace and a few comfortable armchairs for any who wish to read here for a while.

The music room is small but cosy. It is decorated in rich red, with wall panels and drapes all the same shade. It houses a grand piano and any are welcomed to sit a while and either enjoy the seclusion or play a few tunes on the piano.

The East and West Chinese Cabinets were decorated between 1766 and 1769 to exhibit objects of decorative art imported from the East. The walls were decorated with imitation Oriental patterns by Russian craftsmen, and hung with Chinese landscape paintings in yellow and black lacquer.

Only the Tsar, Tsarina, members of the Russian royal family and those with express invitations may enter these rooms. They are lavish and excessively comfortable, not to mention heavily guarded.

Every guest at the Peterhof palace has their own room, either singularly or that they share with their spouse. Even the young Princes and Princesses have their own rooms. They are all lavish and accomodating.

Although mostly used by the palace staff, the kitchens are open for any who wish to find something to fill a corner between meals. The kitchens are small, but the staff are highly skilled, and the cupboards are always well stocked.

The servants quarters are the hidden underbelly of the extravagant Peterhof Palace. They are cramped and dingy, though not wholly unpleasant to life in, and considering the servants spend most of their time around the Palace doing whatever it is they are required, it doesn't matter.

To those who don't know the palace well, these hallways can be a bit of a maze. They are beautiful, with marble floors and large paintings hung on the walls, aswell as various ornaments and antiquities on display.

Come here to talk about whatever you want, within reason obviously. It can be to do with No Place Else, or just to introduce yourself, or whatever, really.
