Like any site or game, we do have a set of rules that players need to follow. They aren't complicated, and should be easy to remember. If you have any questions about them though, feel free to ask!


~*Basic Site Rules*~

1. Enjoy yourself here, but always respect the rights of others. Impersonation of other players, sexism, sexual-preference, insulting religious beliefs, ethnic slurs or unwelcome overtures of any kind to other chatters will not be tolerated. If you are being rude to other chatters, you may find yourself kicked out of the room or banned from the site completely.

2. Posting adult or pornographic pictures is strictly prohibited.

3. If there is a present RP (Role Play) going on in a room, please respect the participants and keep all OOC (Out Of Character) comments to a minimum. Use whisper to convey such OOC messages, or please label the message OOC.

4. Any room that is labelled with a _18_ in the room list is an adult room, it is meant only for members who are 18 years of age and older, anyone under this age will be asked to leave the room.

5. Soliciting of any kind is prohibited. Those found to be advertising other chats will be banned immediately. This includes whispered messages and linking from your homepages.

6. You may have a maximum of 9 accounts.

7. Do not move gold between your accounts unless it's through a valid RP transaction. Suspicious activity will be investigated. If you have made a donation, and that character has died, please RM Leo to request permission to transfer the gold to a different account. This rule is in place to prevent "Feeder" accounts, and we reserve the right to delete the additional moved gold.

*General Role-Playing Rules*~

- You cannot kill someone unless it has been decided by the person playing the character that they want that character to die. If the user makes an IC post saying they have died then that is also considered consent.

- When just two people are in a room you must ask permission to enter, either in whisper or shout. Give respect to others who might be in a private conversation. With the following rooms you may just enter:
Banquet Hall, Emerald Inn, Garden, Kitchen, Sanctuary, Mystical Forest, Grande Hall, Meadows, Market, Tournament Grounds.
**Room owners do not need to ask permission to enter their own rooms.

- No extreme public sexual content: A heated kiss or feeding is not porn, graphic sexual acts are (cybering). Take it to one of the private or 18+ rooms, try not to involve too many other people. Use whispers where possible and ask a HighCouncil member to clean the room for you afterwards.


- You may not make an immortal character. There must be at least two ways to kill everyone. Once you are dead you can only come back as a ghost/spirit. Resurrections are only granted by Admin, and rarely happen, so take this into consideration before killing off a character.

- We suggest that when you are role playing with more than one person that you keep to a posting order, this will stop any confusion between posts. Once everyone has posted remember the order of posts and stick to it, you will find this makes everyone involved much happier.

*Dungeon Crawling*~

If you should be unfortunate enough to be sent to the Dungeon, then you shall be disarmed of all your weapons at the door by NPC guards- whether or not someone writes this happening.

Any magic or natural abilities you may hold will be rendered useless whilst you are in the Dungeon. This is explained by the dampening field which surrounds the Dungeon.

Take note of how you were left by the guards, whether it be in a cell or in shackles, make sure your character acts in the correct manner.
The following may visit the Dungeon;

Royal Family
Guards and Military
Anyone with the permission of any of the above


NPC Guards patrol the Dungeon at all times.

~* Babies! Babies Everywhere!*~

So your character has decided to settle down and start a family. Or maybe a dark night of passion has had some consequences. Before officially declaring your character is pregnant, please consider the following:

- Anyone whose RL age is under 16 may NOT become pregnant in this Realm. If you are found to be cybering you both will be warned and quite possible banned, no matter the age of the other person.
This is for legal issues regarding the chat.

- Any details of a pregnancy, including conception or early termination, need to be discussed and agreed upon between players OOCly. If there is no agreement, you can ask for a moderator to be brought in.

- All pregnancies must last at least three weeks. If you require it to be shorter than this for an RP, then please make a request on the forum.

- Once you have decided that your character is pregnant, you'll need to post it in the Announcement section of the Forums. The 3 week waiting period will begin only after you've posted it here. Your character does not need to know she is pregnant before post.
* The First Rule of Fight Club... *~

As this is primarily a turn-based site, we encourage turn-based fighting as well. This list is a good guideline to follow when role fighting.

1. Each player has one "intro" post to describe all his/her equipment. This includes weapons, armour, and magic. Your character does not have to state what he/she has out loud- it can be in your character's quick mental check of items on their person.

2. Magic may only be used in spars after your character has received approval to use it. This is to help keep "god-modding" down to a minimum.

3. If two characters are going to spar, they must come to an agreement of who will make the first move. If they cannot decide who will go first, they shall agree on an equitable random way of deciding it.

4. There is one post per person during a spar. This does NOT mean that you can make two posts into one and attack twice in one post. If you do your opponent is allowed to ignore the first and respond only to the second. NOTE: Some people may write long posts, and wish to break it up into smaller parts. When posting, put "TBC" or "Cont." at the end to show that you are not yet finished writing. This is not considered double-posting, merely away of making "smaller" posts.


Illustration of a post:
Quote

~Standing towards the right of his opponent, nearly 4 feet away, he swings his blade full force high over his head and left shoulder directly towards the chest of his opponent, while placing his feet firmly in a fighting stance~


This includes:
1) Location - 'towards the right of his opponent'
2) Distance, Radius - '4 feet'
3) Time Allotment - Not needed no *special* actions (spells ect.) are happening
4) Combat (target) - 'his opponents chest', acceleration - 'full force' Direction - 'over his head and left shoulder'
5) Defense Action -'Feet firmly placed', Direction - in a fighting stance, or to the right of, and Results of Attack - none as he is not being attacked

It takes some time to get used to but it is easy over all.

5. In situations where you do not avoid or block an attack on the following post, it is reasonable to assume that you were hit during your opponent's attack.

6. No god-modding. For those of you who may not know what that is, it is when one makes his or her character invincible. Not only is this unfair and boring for others to RP with, it is unbelievable.

Further Advice:

* Be descriptive and creative in your posts. Remember that if you leave an opening in your defence, your opponent may use that against you. Be careful!

* While making your posts, be careful not to make too many actions. Having so many in one post is dangerous, for you can't know what your opponent does in between.

*When using magic, take advantage of the spell preparation to describe what exactly the spell is supposed to do. It doesn't help if you make an elaborate post about a spell and don't say what it's for.

*Please be respectful of others as they are sparring. Keep talk to a minimum, and use whispers so you do not distract those who are fighting.

Also...YOUR CHARACTER CANNOT BE KILLED WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION


Resurrection
If your character dies ... you may bring it back as a spirit or ghost or shadow.. If you decide that the character is dead and gone then let us know and we can delete the account for you. If it is agreed on by all involved, and a HighCouncil member, that your character may be resurrected then do so.. Its only respectful to also involve the person who killed that character in deciding upon resurrection.

The character must have a soul to be resurrected. Vampires cannot be resurrected under any circumstances


Leaving a battle
If you are role-playing and you get into a fight you will be expected to finish it.
Simply deciding your no longer Role-playing IE: "I’m not role playing anymore" isn’t a good enough excuse if you have provoked a fight or are losing one.
If you do so and walk away in the middle we will assume the last attack hit you...be it kill you or wounded ... whichever fits


~* Making and Using Character Images *~

Character avatars in chat can be 375 by 325 (or 325 by 375, it's up to you!) max. Images can be smaller than this, but not larger. If you do not have a photo editing program and would like an image made for your character, you can post a request to memebers of the art guild and they will be able make one for you!

If you are thinking of using a particular actor/actress, you might want to check the listing to be sure that the person is not already in use. This avoids any confusion between players.

You may also have banners to use in place of your change room quotes or on the boards. These banners should be no larger than 400 pixels wide by 150 high.

Ocassionally the realm hosts OOC nights to mark special occasions. On these nights, Character Avatar rules are relaxed, and there are no max size limits. But please, don't make them TOO big! wink

**NOTE**
Any images considered to be pornographic or offensive will be removed.
If a mod or admin tells you that your image is too explicit, please be courteous and remove the image BEFORE finding a replacement

~* Uploading Images to your Profile *~

There are two ways to use an image for your character avatar.

UPLOAD it directly from your computer to the site.
- Go to Settings
- Click on "Choose File"
- Select the file that you want to use from your computer
- In the section that says "for Alias," type the name of the Account
- Click the button that says 'Upload'
**There is a check box at the bottom that says "Use Automatic Picture for Aliases" - this MUST be checked if you wish to use an uploaded image

...or...

USE A URL from an existing site, like Photobucket.
- Go to Settings
- In the box that says 'Picture,' paste the url of the image that you want to use
- Be sure that the image still follows image rules
- Make sure that the checkbox fo "Use Automatic Pictures" is unchecked
