Dead end; In every person’s life they’ll arrive to this inevitability. A long and clear path becomes blocked by obstacles. Whatever the cause of the obstacles, whether the mind’s inability to conquer its fears and doubts or an external force driving one into a corner, the block will spring up like a menacing wall. This wall looms high and threatening to devour the soul in despair. But there is a way out.
As the soul cries out in desperation, a path opens and inexplicably leads to a tavern. It’s an old, creaky building surrounded by dry, unforgiving desert. It looks desolate and deserted though it couldn’t be more bleak and rotted than the route behind you. Now the choice remains whether to enter the building, or to turn back into the snarls and briars of life’s previous path. The choice is always yours.
Rules~
There are two sets of rules, OOC (Out of Character) and IC (In character). Please make sure to read and abide by these rules. I am forgiving and can compromise but I am also strict. Repeated offenders will be banned. These rules apply to everyone. Rules are subject to change, check back frequently.
OOC Rules
1. Obey TOS. This is a PG-13 site, obey that absolutely. This rule is enforced and offenses not tolerated as it will get the thread deleted/banned.
- a. Romance is acceptable but cybering is not allowed on gaia and any requests to do so will be banned immediately. Anyone caught PMing request to cyber will likewise be banned.
b. Battle and fighting is allowed and encouraged IC, but excessive violence and gore is also against TOS. The horror scenes must be dialed down.
2. No drama OOC. Any problems you have outside this thread keep it outside the thread. Any problems developed in the thread, take it out of the thread.
- a. If you develop a problem with another member, please work on resolving said problem away from the thread. I will not coddle or solve these problems for you. If after discussing the issue with said person and you still cannot resolve it, there is a simple solution. Ignore. Add them to your ignore list.
b. (Just a tip more than a rule) Though this is a PG-13 site, most of us on gaia are older because we’ve been here a long time. Try to be civil and work out problems in a mature manner by discussing your thoughts, opinions and feelings in a decent way. This will help cut down on your drama.
3. This is my tavern. I created it, which means it is at my discretion whom to banned or punish for transgressions. Do not argue this fact. Arguing and causing drama based on one of these decisions will result in a warning and if continued your own banishment.
- a. Due to this and the consideration of the person banned (regardless of reason) I will not discuss any information pertaining to the banishment of said person. I will likely list the reason, but will not indulge in spreading discord and spark the need for drama by elaborating details.
4. Don't bring up negative things here. There is enough negativity IRL so keep it out of Dead End. Absolutely no politics, worldly news, etc.
IC Rules~
1. No God-modding. Though this could be consider an OOC rule as well, I placed it here because many may consider their character’s god-like, etc. Regardless of the character’s race or abilities, auto-hits (when declaring an attack hit no matter what), puppeteering (moving or controlling another character for them), and invincibility (nothing can hurt your character) will not be accepted. Any action that is deemed a god mod move will be instantly considered a miss/null attack.
2. Drama allowed. (IC ONLY!) For story purposes, drama (please try not to make it too melodramatic) is allowed so long as it’s kept IC.
3. Don’t take anything personally. If another character tells your character they are a dirty snob, don’t get bent out of shape OOC. Keep IC and OOC separate so that we can all enjoy fun and engaging stories without having OOC drama.
4. Feel free to be rough and rowdy! Wanna start a brawl? Go for it. The more going on, the more excitement will be in the air.
5. No kids younger than 15. Just no. This is a bar setting. A child would not be allowed in a bar IRL so don’t expect to be able to bring children into a bar IC. It’s unrealistic.
6. Character deaths are ONLY allowed if the Player agrees to it.
7. This is a casual role-play thread. This means at any given time an rp can end and change. Events will tend to be day by day, and once the player (ooc) leaves, then it should be assumed the character has also left for the day/night. There won't be long standing events that take days (or even weeks or months) at a time to end.
- a. Naturally, there may be a few events that continue on if the players wish to. However, don't be offended or upset if they don't. Things can become boring and stale if they drag on for too long.
8. No outside roleplay/IC politics. While everyone and their characters are welcome in the Tavern, outside politics cause stress and will not be allowed.
