The following is a "Code of Conduct" so to speak, that is not meant to be followed strictly, but merely exists to maintain order.

We are a group based around original content, thus we only accept Original Characters.

Refusal to RP with another player is acceptable only with justified reason. If you simply do not like they player, you cannot refuse to RP with them, but can ignore them IC.

This is a mature group. Mature themes lie within. If you cannot handle it, then you may leave. Note that this does not mean RP sex is allowed within this group, even for story purposes. "Mature" should not translate to "Pornographic", so please keep that amongst yourselves.

We do everything we can to avoid drama. If someone starts OoC drama over our Campaigns, or during OoC chats, or anything of the sort, you are advised to get them to stop as best as you can. If they remain stubborn, a moderator should be consulted. As I have stated, this is a mature group, and should know how to get along like civil members of society.

We will not tolerate attacks on others based on Race, Sexual Orientation, Religious or Political Views, or personal preferences.. If you want to talk about such things, try do so among yourselves.Lastly, we expect everyone here to cooperate and get along with one another. Any and all complaints should be sent to me via message, and I shall address them. -General Manager ParsifalZen



A Note:
Characters very well may die, and the fate that you have written for your character may be changed.

In Character

1. Characters may die.
2. Fighting is perfectly acceptable.
3. Kills are allowed, but are only official and permanent upon GM approval.
4. Implement realism into your roleplay.
5. No moding of any kind.
6. Do not use OOC knowledge IC.
7. Do no cross OOC grudges and such with IC grudges.
8. Characters may not have an arsenal of powers and abilities at their disposal.
9. In regards to powers and abilities try and keep your list down to a reasonable amount, especially if your character is not of mythical origin.
10. Characters should follow their current storyline properly. They should also be true to form.
11. Multiple storylines can be going on concurrently in the room. Pay attention, if this is the case.

Out of character

1. Quality over quantity - make sure your posts are well written and descriptive - not long and overly windy.
2. No moding of any kind, including using OOC knowledge IC.
3. Do not spam or advertise in the room.
4. Fighting in this room will be turn based ONLY.
5. Do not park unless you have been given the go ahead to do so.
6. NO excessive OOC unless it is clear that you may be OOC and chatter OOC-wise.
7. RP is expected while the room is active unless otherwise stated.
8. If you enter, then leave and room hop obsessively, you will be banned.
9. Do not ask to be hosted.
10. Keep cybering to a minimum. If, for any reason, it is done in excess, and involves a great deal of explicit material, take it to a whisper.
11. No guests. If you are one, whisper host for permission to remain so for a limited time. If the reasoning is not good, prepare to be kicked or banned.
12. The pace of this room is FAST. If you cannot handle that, there are a few things that you can do:
13. Start your own storyline, with a slower pace.
14. Don't enter the storyline(s) at all - just RP freely in the room.
15. Keep up.

Combat & posting

1. When posting and you are not in a group, you may post as many times as you like, especially if entering.
2. Turn-based fighting ONLY, unless otherwise agreed upon by a host, and approved by both combatants.
3. If you are in a group, start a posting order.
4. Before fighting, whisper a host to get a fight referee, to moderate the fighting.
5. D&D spells are welcome.
6. If characters are in multiple locations (IE: Sheba and Dedan), then whisper the person you wish to engage in RP with first.
7. Combat between combatants should be discussed in whisper first, in case of a argument.
8. If you have a key character here, try and show up for RP at least 3 out of 7 days to RP, if only for an hour.
9. Characters may NOT possess powers and magical abilities, unless given the go ahead by a GM.
10. Failure to comply to these rules may result in the nullification of private or group fights, by a host.

Hosts

1. Hosts run the room and decide the laws and such.
2. Do not ask to be hosted, or host someone unless they are on the host list, or approved by a GM
3. Before kicking someone, (unless there is an exception put forth by a GM), warn them once. The warning must be OBVIOUS, in case of future disputes.
4. Before banning someone, warn the person twice.
5. To have questions answered, talk to a host. ANY host.
6. If a host is away, do not pester them.
7. A host may lose their hosting privileges if they abuse the rules more than twice.
8. Hosts are expected to moderate a room. Check other's posts for discrepancies, explain themes, and answer questions. If a host does NOT do this, then why are you hosted? Expect to lose your hammer.
9. A host may lose their hosting priviledges if they do not do their jobs, and aren't around to even moderate the room more than twice a week.
10. It is up to the brown host to figure out what's been going on if they have been absent.
11. If you're a member, and you show up for one roleplaying session, disappear, then you WANT to know what's been going on, don't expect any host to answer you, and if they do, expect it at their leisure.

Locations

1. You may not teleport to a location. Travel, however you wish, there. Shadow hopping, and other forms of it are fine, such as spirit travel. Just nothing instantaneous. Even shadow hopping takes time.
2. If you were located in a location, do not randomly place yourself in a location that's too far away on the map to randomly be there.
3. Travel must take a reasonable amount of time. This roleplay is supposed to encompass all the components of a normal RPG, so things can happen while you're on the ship, airship, wagon, etc. Make it interesting for yourself - there are enough interesting locations in this roleplay to never stop having fun.
4. Usually something will happen in each new location you visit - they're not there just for show. So try and be present, especially IF it's a new town.
5. The money you start off with can be used HOWEVER you want. But if you run out:
   
   • Don't expect travelling to be easy and such - especially if you're in a group.
   • Get ready to do some begging.
   • Taverns typically have missions, which can bag you a decent amount of gold.
   • Become a Mercenary; Chances are there's someone out there that someone wants beaten up/killed.
   • Get a real Job if possible. Working on a payroll will earn you good, honest gold.
   • Steal if you have to. Just get ready to pay the Karmic Consequences...
   • Being a travelling Merchant isn't too difficult.

Overall, have FUN!
