general:
-swearing is permitted. please don't take advantage of this. One or two swear words per post is fine, but please limit yourself. Swear words should only be used in appropriate situations, and should not be used every single sentence. Please be reasonable. Should I find people swearing too much, a warning will be given.
-please keep sexual content to a minimum. This does not mean that romance is not allowed. I encourage relationships and romance between characters. but please do not get too graphic. if you insist on getting graphic, then please tag the thread with [x] or [xxx] so that people are warned of what this thread contains. No pornographic images are permitted on this site. If you are found sharing such things with others, you will be immediately banned.
-please respect all the other members of the site. This means, be nice, friendly, and helpful to others. constructive criticism is allowed, but do not nag, make fun of, or degrade other members. not all of us are amazing posters, wonderful graphics makers, or superb artists. please respect that.
-what happens in character, stays in character. this means that if your character gets in a fight with someone else's character, you should NOT be mad at the real live person who plays that character. No one is trying to offend you - they are just playing their characters.
-if any fights ooc (out of character) happen, please keep them OFF OF THE BOARDS. you may argue over PMS, but please do not disturb the other members of this site. if things get really bad, feel free to contact a staff member. (ie. cadenza, or the co-admins, or any other mods)
-if you break a rule, then you will get a warning in your warning bar. if your warning bar ever becomes full (100%), or you must excessively be warned not to break rules, then you will be banned, or deleted, depending on the circumstance. Any staff member has the rightful power to ban you from the site - so be careful, and be extra nice to your staff members! ^^
-please let us know when your going away, so that we don't delete you thinking that you are inactive. we understand that you have a life of your own, and that you can not be on the RPG 24-7, as none of us can. but please try and be active, coming on at least twice a week, if possible.
role playing guidelines:
-no godmodling or power playing will be put up with. unsure what this means? please pm me or another staff member.
-PLEASE, PLEASE, please, use the spell check button. thats what its there for. no one likes a post filled with spelling errors. (I'll understand if the spell check button doesn't work on your computer)
-use proper grammar. come on people, your not in first grade anymore, I'm sure you can use commas, periods. and "quotations" in the proper places. This means that I expect to see more than one period in a post, capitals after a period, and at least one comma! come on people! if you are not using proper grammar, I may send you a msg, asking you to give your writing structure a little polishing up.
-there will be no posting minimum....yet. if I see people getting lazy and posting one liners, then there WILL be a posting limit. PLEASE try to write decent, long, descriptive posts. Its good for everyone.
-please use "quotations" for speech, and italics for thought. no using bold for either of those, or using a different colour, or using anything else. just quotations and italics. thank you. If I find people doing otherwise, there may be a slight warning.
character creation:
- your characters MAY NOT be perfect. all characters MUST have at least SOME flaws. without flaws, characters are boring, and not very interesting in the least. Keep this in mind.
- make your characters interesting. make them deep. make people feel they can relate to them. no shallow, always happy, bland characters with no personality or interest at all.
- wait to be accepted by a staff member, and USE THE FORM given.
-your characters can age whenever you want them to, but they must age. (and humans and mortal animals must all die of old age at some point) immortals never have to die, but the only way for them to die, is if they will themselves to, they loose the will to live, they become ill, or they are killed by another creature.
-I realize that people like to play characters from the range 14-18, but not ALL characters may be teen agers. We need older people, and younger children. Also, please keep in mind that not all characters can be kind hearted and good. We need LOTS of evil people, and plenty of mean, selfish, unpleasant people. I'm not saying that you can't have nice characters, but please try and have a good range of different personalities, and loyalties.
game play:
-the currency is (highest to lowest):
gold crown
silver pieces
coppers
The golden crown is worth one hundred silvers, and one thousand coppers. (if my math is right, which it might not be.). one silver piece, is worth 100 coppers, and one copper isn't worth much at all.
you do not HAVE to keep track of your money, but if you want to, then your welcomed to. Just keep in mind, peasants would not have a gold crown. They would probably have a couple coppers. Travelers might have a few silver pieces, and some coppers, but probably no golden crowns. really, only rich people (royal people) have golden crowns, or people who have been saving for a long time.
-you can basically do whatever you want. you can get a job and settle in a town, travel across the country, be good, evil, or whatever you like.
-I will be auditioning for important roles such as royalty (kings and queens) or other parts I have need to be played.
-to get a job, just look around. you will find some place with a position open. look in villages, in Inns, taverns, shops, and in castles for maid positions, stable hand positions, etc.
