Lone Pine University is an extremely prestigious, historic university that is mentioned in the same breath as Harvard and Yale. It is located on a small island off the coast of Washington in the United States, bordering the Puget Sound, only accessible by ferry, in the town of Cape Foul. Cape Foul was founded in the early 1800s, and Lone Pine was established in 1851. The island is considered to be haunted by many inhabitants of the mainland and the island alike, and plenty of Lone Pine alumni and long-term residents have horror stories involving Ashurst Forest, Bel Air Island, Arietty’s Cove, and the dark and mysterious Montague mansion. Some of the townsfolk are eager— almost too eager— to entertain students. Others seem standoffish at best, and downright hostile at worst. There are secrets to be learned, clues to uncover, and mysteries to solve. 

You arrive to the island by ferry. There is only one boat that comes and goes each day, at 5AM, noon, and 7PM. The ferry station on Cape Foul is quaint and quiet, with large bay windows facing the Puget Sound and the far wall covered in layers and layers of missing persons posters. Some of them are decades old, decaying in damp, sea-salt soaked layers as if someone intends to fertilize their garden with the resulting mulch. The University and its namesake, the Lone Pine, tower over the island like watchful guardians, visible even from the shore of the mainland. You cannot be sure, but it almost seems as though the tree itself is calling for you, beckoning you forward, the breeze at your back an indication of its intention to draw you near. 

It’s a good thing that the University is your intended destination; you know that you would likely be unable to stop yourself from visiting either way.

I'm sure Gami's busy, is there a rough time estimate between applying and acceptance/rejection?

If you don't hear from Gami within 36 hours of submitting your application, please feel free to re-submit, DM us on Tumblr or on discord (@lonepinemods) or send us another ask. It won't bother us at all. The time between your application submission and contact with the DM should always be less than a day, and the time between your app submission and your acceptance/rejection should be less than two days!

[lonepine]

As each season is it's own separate thing, do new characters have to be made every time or are they just adapted to the new season?

Characters can be adapted to the new season or you can create new ones each time! It's completely up to you. Most of our writers have brought the same muse each time and adapted them to fit the plot, but many also make OCs specifically for each season.

[lonepine]

Would mods be comfy sharing what canons are already in use? I'd love to know who's been added, I'm trying to decide if I who I want to apply with.

Yes! I will post the current list here in this ask, and for anyone who is reading this in the future, this post contains a complete list of all of the characters in our server as well as their writers.

As of March 6th, our server contains the following canon characters:

Claire Randall from Outlander.

Madeleine "Maddy" Perez from Euphoria.

Paul Atreides from Dune.

SEASON FOUR PLAYER APPLICATION.

Find the spectating application here!

PLEASE BE SURE TO THOROUGHLY READ OUR RULES AND FILL OUT YOUR CONSENT CHECKLIST ALONG WITH YOUR SUBMISSION.

PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING:

This season, the server and gameplay system will be built around two different roles for your character: townies and university. When you submit your application, you’ll be asked to provide date(s)/time(s) that you would be available to sit down with the DM. This meeting is called Session Zero. In this session, you and the DM will flip a coin, determining whether your muse will be a town citizen or a university affiliate. Based on the outcome, the DM will then assist you in creating your character’s backstory and give you the information necessary depending on which role you receive. Roles are randomly assigned this season and cannot be chosen.

RULES.

Welcome to Cape Foul, and congratulations on your acceptance to Lone Pine University! Before getting started, please *carefully* read through our rules. Any failure to comply can result in an immediate ban. When you’ve finished, please visit the  #𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚛𝚘𝚍𝚞𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜 channel to introduce yourself. Once you’ve done that, you will be awarded with a role and given access to the rest of the server.

Your DM this season is Gami. Other mods may be added, but the entire server will be asked to vote them in before they are awarded a moderator role. Please direct any questions or concerns to Gami for now. Everything will remain confidential and private.

Lone Pine University is an extremely prestigious, historic university that is mentioned in the same breath as Harvard and Yale. It is located on a small island off the coast of Washington in the United States, bordering the Puget Sound, only accessible by ferry, in the town of Cape Foul. Cape Foul was founded in the early 1800s, and Lone Pine was established in 1851. The island is considered to be haunted by many inhabitants of the mainland and the island alike, and plenty of Lone Pine alumni have horror stories involving Ashurst Forest, Bel Air Island, Arietty’s Cove, and the mysteriously abandoned Montague mansion. Some of the townsfolk are eager— almost too eager— to entertain you and your fellow classmates. Others seem standoffish at best, and downright hostile at worst. You’re staying in the dorms on campus while you’re here, and you’ve got free reign of the town and most of the campus. There are secrets to be learned, clues to uncover, and mysteries to solve. 

There is an overarching meta plot, and players are encouraged and are free to create their own dynamics and subplots, but any event that will affect more than 3 players or the main plot of the game, or a potentially triggering event (i.e. a player being hospitalized, going to jail, getting pregnant) needs to be run by the DM first.

— 𝙼𝚄𝚂𝙴 :

Due to the nature of the game, everyone will only be allowed one muse. Both OCs and canon characters are allowed, but the DM does ask that any character be humanized. This means that your superhero can't still be a superhero without their powers. The character should be adapted to fit the server, or they will not be accepted.

Things to consider about your character are things like their financial status (as they are attending an Ivy League school, which are notoriously expensive), their major, and how they decided on Lone Pine as their school of choice.

— 𝙲𝙾𝙽𝙳𝚄𝙲𝚃 :

ABSOLUTELY NO malicious arguing, name-calling, passive aggressive behavior, or bullying. No always means no. No racism, transphobia, ableism, or sexism. Discrimination of any kind is not allowed and will result in an immediate removal without warning.

No politics are to be brought up in the server. If things are getting political, Gami will put you in timeout and speak to you. This can result in a warning.

if you consistently can't keep OOC and IC separate, you will be issued a warning. Character bleed happens, but if you cannot handle conflict IC, then this isn't the server for you. In the same vein, if your character and another are having a heated or stressful interaction, it’s important to check with your writing partner OOC frequently, or things may be misconstrued and taken personally. 

On voice chat, DO NOT discuss politics or triggering topics like sexual assault, murder, etc. There is a difference between sharing your personal experience with the consent of the other people in chat with you and mindlessly sharing trauma without any warning or asking consent. CONSENT IS KEY. When in doubt, always ask.

— 𝚃𝚁𝙸𝙶𝙶𝙴𝚁𝚂 :

Thoroughly read the pinned post in the #𝚝𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚐𝚎𝚛𝚜 channel and be mindful of what you post. If you have ANY triggers, no matter how arbitrary or unlikely it may seem to you, PLEASE post it in the #triggers channel and make sure you commit all triggers listed in the channel to memory. Anything listed in the channel MUST be spoilered and the trigger be declared. 

Example: tw sweet tea ||i fucking love sweet tea bro.|| Anything not listed in the channel may be freely posted.

If something is listed in the triggers channel, best practice is to not mention it in any context, especially without consent from your fellow writers. Utilize the spoiler function when needed and declare the relevant trigger warning when needed. If someone accidentally forgets to spoiler something that is a trigger, simply approach them politely and let them know. If they fix their mistake, the problem is solved. Moderators will try our best to keep it from happening, but we’re all adults, and as long as we have the intention to treat each other well, mistakes should be tolerated and forgiven. There is an obvious difference between a simple mistake and a pattern of behavior. 

Possible triggers in this game may include but are not limited to: murder, death, sex, illness, gaslighting, uncanny valley content, body horror, existential horror, doppelgangers, cryptids, paranoia, violence, the occult, curses, alcohol/drug use, and unbalanced power dynamics.

— 𝙲𝙾𝙽𝚃𝙴𝙽𝚃 :

This server is 21+ ONLY. That means that adult themes will be present both OOC and IC. These themes can include but are not limited to explicit sexual content (in private threads), mentions of or references to sexual content, drug and/or alcohol use, and mentions of any of the triggers in the section above. If you are not comfortable with any of the aforementioned themes, Lone Pine is not the server for you.

Please keep IC content to the IC channels and OOC content to the OOC channels. Plotting must be mutual and enthusiastic, so no one gets thrown a curve ball without consent. For example, if I wanted to make your muse my muse’s ex, we’d have to discuss it beforehand. I couldn't make that decision for us both.

— 𝙽𝚂𝙵𝚆 𝙲𝙾𝙽𝚃𝙴𝙽𝚃 :

NSFW will be present in this server. This category includes but is not limited to: explicit descriptions of sex, murder, and gore. In the overall plot, there will be no mentions or descriptions of any kind of sexual content, but this will likely be present in the private threads of some server members. 

IMPORTANT: If you intend on writing NSFW content, or if a private thread between you and another writer turns into smut or another type of graphic NSFW content, please RENAME THE THREAD to include “nsfw” as the first word in the title. 

Example: (nsfw) The Talk; Bruce and Anna. 

This is to ensure that server members who are reading the threads of other writers are able to give their consent to view sexual/graphic material of any kind and are not blindsided.

— 𝚂𝙴𝚁𝚅𝙴𝚁 𝙲𝙾𝙽𝚃𝙴𝙽𝚃 :

All channels and categories in this server have a purpose and nothing is here arbitrarily. Each channel has a description and/or a pinned post containing information like templates, rules and guidelines, and descriptions. There is also guide to the server in the #𝚜𝚎𝚛𝚟𝚎𝚛-𝚐𝚞𝚒𝚍𝚎 channel that contains descriptions of each location, information about the town and the university, and other helpful information that WILL HELP YOU get your footing in this universe and give your muse some common knowledge with NPCs and other muses. You will also notice that there are maps of the campus and the town made for your convenience in the #𝚖𝚊𝚙𝚜 channel. Please refer to these maps and the other available materials as often as needed. Gami has tried to ensure that you have everything you need, but they can get very busy. Sometimes a question can be answered by going back to check a map, pinned posts, the server guide, or a specific channel.

— 𝚂𝚄𝙽𝙳𝙰𝚈 𝙵𝚄𝙽𝙳𝙰𝚈 :

Every Sunday, all available members of the server are welcome and encouraged to participate in whatever group activity is decided upon for that week. We’ll do things like in-character Cards Against Humanity, Jackbox 1-4, watching a movie or a show, etc. If you have any ideas for activities on Sunday Funday, make sure to let Gami know in the #𝚛𝚎𝚚𝚞𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚜 channel!

— 𝙸𝙽𝙲𝙻𝚄𝚂𝙸𝚅𝙸𝚃𝚈 :

Please ensure that you’re including all members of the server. Sticking to only one or two people and ignoring the rest is extremely discouraged and considered to be clique-ish behavior. It will result in a private message from Gami and potentially a warning if it continues. 

This extends to checking in with one another during stressful interactions. When your muse is rude to another, or if something happens in the narrative that could potentially hurt the other member’s feelings, it’s important to keep in contact with them OOC to ensure they’re comfortable and not taking things personally. Communication is essential. This extends to the DM as well; they are a person, just like anyone else, and just as prone to character bleed. The rule of thumb is: if a scene you’re writing is getting intense, be sure to check in with your partner if you are not already speaking with them OOC. 

— 𝙰𝙲𝚃𝙸𝚅𝙸𝚃𝚈 :

Gami is not going to demand any sort of activity level, but they do ask that you consider your availability and motivation prior to committing to the server. They understand that things happen and real life always comes first, but it is difficult to advance a plot driven storyline when a crucial member of the server is unavailable. They ask that you do not commit to this server if you consistently can’t be here for events, which are (typically) every Saturday at 5pm PST/8pm EST. We’ll have surveys every week with 4-5 different times for everyone to vote on to ensure that the maximum amount of server members are able to participate. If you go a week with no activity IC or OOC without notifying the DM, they reserve the right to remove you from the server.  

— 𝙲𝙾𝙽𝚃𝙰𝙲𝚃 :

If you have any questions, concerns, issues, or anything else, please message the server owner, Gami. It’s their goal to ensure a safe, secure, and comfortable environment. 

— 𝙿𝚄𝙱𝙻𝙸𝙲 𝙸𝙽𝚃𝙴𝚁𝙰𝙲𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽𝚂 :

Any interactions posted in public channels are considered to be public, meaning that any other muse can walk up and join the conversation. If you want a private thread, go to your writing partner’s channel and create a thread. Otherwise, the IC channels provide a space where everyone is free to interact with each other.

— 𝙲𝙷𝙰𝚁𝙰𝙲𝚃𝙴𝚁 𝙳𝙴𝙰𝚃𝙷 :

PERMANENT DEATH IS A MECHANIC THAT WILL BE UTILIZED IN THIS GAME. If you are not okay with the potential permanent death of your muse, indicate this on your interest tracker; if you are not okay with injuring, mutilating, psychologically torturing, or otherwise harming your muse, this may not be the server for you, but let us know anyway and we’ll see if we can accommodate you (we would like to try, at least). PLEASE FILL OUT THE INTEREST TRACKER.

— 𝙷𝙾𝚆 𝙸𝚃 𝚆𝙾𝚁𝙺𝚂 :

Due to the nature of the content in this game, the DM will only allow players over the age of 21. Once you read and agree to these rules, you will be allowed into the introduction channel.

Here is the basic overview of the guidelines to the way this server works:

1.   Your application must be approved by Gami before you can gain access to the server. 

2.   You will be asked to list positive and negative traits in your application and your bio. An even number of positive and negative traits are required for your characters, in the spirit of balanced interactions. 

3.    Players are encouraged to interact with as many NPCs, objects, and other muses as possible. There is information everywhere. Feel free to start threads and tag Gami if you want an NPC interaction; just be mindful of their time. They will respond ASAP (also, please don’t skip out on doing this because you feel that I am “already too busy” or “very overwhelmed” with other threads. I promise, I will find time for them all in the order that I receive them. This is basically my full-time job, for now. -Gami)!

4.   Players are encouraged to start multiple “longform” threads, text threads, and interact in the IC and OOC chat. “Longform” threads are time locked, meaning that you can have multiple threads taking place at different points in the timeline.

CODE OF CONDUCT:

1. Moderators will be monitoring gameplay and any metagaming will be addressed both in and out of character. 

Metagaming: defined as the character having knowledge of things the character should not (for example: witnessing a character death OOC in a mini meta event and somehow having knowledge of that death IC), or attempting to influence the plot in major ways without consulting a mod. Offenders will receive a warning. 

2. Players are expected to be consistently active and interacting with multiple parties. If you are chronically inactive, you will receive a private message from a moderator and could be removed from the server.

3. If the plot involves significant life events (pregnancy, jail, serious bodily harm, etc), it needs to be approved by the DM and your fellow writers. If your character has a “secret plan,” that plan should never be a secret from the DM. Springing a last minute plan on the DM will result in that plan being denied. Until your request is approved or denied, DO NOT continue with your plot. Put it on hold. If the plot affects more than two people, all affected parties must be consulted. You cannot speak for another player in these matters.

4. If your character is standoffish or rude to another character, it’s important to interact with that writer OOC and make sure they’re feeling comfortable. Things can be taken personally otherwise. Character bleed is a real thing, especially in high stress situations. If the DM senses tension, they reserve the right to call for a break to avoid hurt feelings. The DM and other Moderators are included in this rule; we’re just as human and sensitive as anyone else.

5. Actions IC have consequences IC. Gami can step into private and public threads at any time to narrate/help players navigate the plot. If your character wants to investigate something, let the DM know! They’ll make you your own mini-event. Anyone can have a mini-event at any time, with regard to mod availability.

6. You have a certain amount of control over your character and their death. You’re welcome to plot out your character’s death with Gami, if you’re into that kind of drama (they definitely are). They’d love to help make the end of your character’s story special. Otherwise, your character may still die as a result of their action or inaction IC. Again, if you’d be afraid for your life, your character probably should be too. 

7. There are no main characters in this server. All characters are important in their own ways and all characters are fallible, prone to mistakes, and make poor decisions. No one likes a character who’s always right. Please take care to keep your characters from becoming Mary/Gary/Therry Sues.

MEL, United States, North America: ★★★★✬, 4.5/5 stars i was deathly afraid of discord rp servers when i first heard about lone pine and saw the promos for the first storyline's iteration, but on a whim i decided to face my fears head on and put in an application to join and i am SO GLAD that i did! upon joining lone pine 1 i was quickly swept into a well-established, immersive world populated with believable and engaging characters written by passionate and enthusiastic players, many of whom are my friends and are people I continue to write with across both discord and tumblr.

though the horror content involved isn't for everyone and it can definitely challenge you at times to be mindful of your own triggers where applicable, the mystery-solving element offered by the completely unique overarching plot line provided in each season — as well as smaller subplots and relationship dynamics that form between all the muses — make it ridiculously fun to interact with this fictional world. i’ve dedicated countless google docs to trying to puzzle out the unsolved mysteries as they develop and tracking my own character’s memories, thoughts and feelings on how things are going in-universe, purely for the fun of it all!

every group has its flaws, but i’ll go out on a limb to say that lone pine’s management is dedicated to addressing the underlying issues. our mods are friendly, supportive, and understanding, but firm in upholding the rules, quick to respond to concerns and communicate more clarity as needed. they are constantly improving in order to provide a more inclusive environment and foster the opportunity for growth and change.

BLUE, Northern Ireland, UK: ★★★★✬, 4.5/5 stars "every server has its ups and downs. and unfortunately, many servers struggle to communicate and resolve the problems that naturally arise within. but i'm going to tell you right now, that all my experiences of the lone pine servers have been wonderfully refreshing, in that the mods actually insist on communication and resolution, even for matters that we might think are "non-issues". on top of the excellent moderation, the friendships i've formed in these servers have been long-lasting and utterly wonderful! i've written with some fantastic people, and the creativity is ENDLESS! naturally, the material covered within these seasons aren't for everyone, but the level of respect and consideration for one another is unfathomable, and any problems can be easily addressed with the mods and resolved promptly. i want to conclude this with a final point. i've been participating in the lone pine servers during some rough times, and the love and care and enthusiasm that dwell in these servers are off the charts. i'll rejoin one day, and when i do, i know i'll be just as thrilled and welcomed as i was on the very first day that i joined!"

Lone Pine is a small town in New Mexico, near the border, built upon the blood and sweat of late 19th century gold miners. You will be an influencer coming to sign a contract with the trillion-dollar company, Forsythe-Newman Technology Management (FNTM), which is a household name and widely considered to distribute the best, most high-quality film making equipment on the market.

You take a plane to the Albuquerque International Sunport, and from there you head south on the Rail Runner Express, the state-wide railroad. You ride in the train car for several hours, watching the sprawling desert scenery rush past, and notice the presence of humans becoming dauntingly scarce. You disembark in Truth of Consequences, the home of the infamous Toybox Killer, and from there, your contracting company provides a car with a driver to take you the rest of the way down to Lone Pine.

The driver explains that you've been provided with housing, food, and brand-new production equipment in exchange for living in Lone Pine to produce content regarding the eerie paranormal activity reported there. They make extended and uncomfortable eye contact in the rear-view mirror, and when they stop to let you out, you hardly have time to take your bags from the car before the driver peels out and races back down the road from whence you came.

FAQ

SHOULD I WAIT FOR A SPECIFIC SEASON TO JOIN? Each season of Lone Pine is a standalone story that is a complete narrative arc and does not reference or rely on any previous season. Lone Pine is a horror anthology, meaning each season is its own independent story. You don't need knowledge of any previous seasons to apply for the current season.

WHO CAN JOIN? Any writer who is over the age of 21 is welcome to join us. As we are an adult-only server, adult themes will be present and often heavily explored.

ARE THERE ANY BARS FOR ENTRY? Lone Pine is an adult-only horror-based server, meaning that horror tropes and themes will be present and often heavily explored. If you have an issue with blood, gore, violence, the uncanny valley, insular communities, drug or alcohol use, paranoia, murder/death, brainwashing/indoctrination, cults/cult activity, sex (referenced and/or implied), emotional/physical abuse (referenced and/or implied), betrayal, or religion (real world and fictional), then Lone Pine is likely not the server for you.

IS SPECTATING ALLOWED? Yes! If you'd like to join Lone Pine as a spectator, just send us an ask, a private message, or a submission telling us so along with your discord handle. You will have access to all channels but will only be able to post in the OOC categories. You can react everywhere else. This is a great option for people who would like to see how the server functions but aren't sure whether or not they'd enjoy participating as a player.
