Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

(OOC: NOTE: These rules are mostly from my rping group on myspace. just know that the terms may be different here)

If you're doing Star Wars/Gundam/military RP:

1. Limit fleet sizes
not every battle is to be a episode 3 battle for coruscant-type war. Each rper must bring a limited amount of ships, perferably less than 100, to the battle. the side that has less actual RPers are allowed more.

2. Limit ship sizes
No ship, aside from that side's megaship, shall exceed the Executor-class Super Star Destoyer in size. Note the the Eclipse IS included as being bigger than it. the Sovereign has been decreed to be the only exception.

3. There IS no more Order 66
Gone. Finito. End of discussion.

4. limit the number of complete orbital bombardments
Continueously blasting a planet from orbit with a fleet completely surrounding it will kill more galaxy-wide than a war itself. No Taris-style destruction. Only localized bombardments, on specific points.

5. Limiting the type and power of superweapons
God Hammers, Death Stars, Sun Cruisers, Galaxy Guns...mass-destruction weapons. All gone. No more of them.

6. Limit the number of planetside troops
We all cannot send thousands of troops to a planet's surface. Each fleet, with its reduced size, must SHARE troops between them. So, GIS/Death Watch troops must be the same, and not seperate guys. NPCs and underling rpers (Like Von Martin is Surge's next-in-command.) This will make it harder to call in troops, and make the possibility of killing all troops much more realistic. It will also allow for more strategizing. in addition, it prevents all-droid armies from overwhelming the enemy.

7. No more than 1 star dreadnaught per team at a time!
For God's sake, people. When did you EVER see two Executor-sized ships, much less 20? Since I can't ask for sides to play rock-paper-scissors for the supership, I will ask that any other superships are to be on standby for the slight chance the current dreadnaught on your side is destroyed. And no more than 1 per RPer. no fleet has 2 Star Dreadnaughts.

8. Pick 1 megaship. It cannot participate in all battles.
The opponant is allowed to have a ship of similar size or strength, but it cannot, repeat, CANNOT, appear in EVERY SINGLE major battle we have. it is used only once out of every four blogs, unless an attack was made on its last known position or the ship itself was attacked. Keep count. i will, if i spot it.

9. Read thoroughly.
We've had too many skimmers here. i admit, when I'm in a hurry, I don't take the time to read everything. But we need to be more accurate. As was evident with the malastare blog, according to Lyanna. (talk to her for more info about what happened).

10. If there's a violator, he is to be voided and booted off.
in short, if someone violates these rules, then the blog manager is to boot them off, and that goes for allies too. They then will have 36 hours to put in a petition to the blog manager, and then a vote will be held, majority rules, to let the offender back in, under strict watch. if the offender is the main bad guy, then he is allowed 48 hours, but if the petition is not sent or he is voted not to come back in, his remaining troops pull back and the victory goes to the enemy. If the offender is the blog manager himself, the blog is thereby immediately voided, with the manager's forces pulling back and an immediate victory for the opposition, no negotiaton allowed.

11. Do not attempt to claim straight victories, unless you have actually won superiority over your enemy.
Doing so will be a clear sign of your noob status. Your next attack will be voided if it happens twice prior to that.

12. Do NOT GOD MOD or claim to be/act invincible
I'm tired of people trying to claim they are invincible. i'm also tired of people controlling my character, controlling my thoughts, attacks, ect. This is a good way for me to block you.

13. Inform other, newer RPers of these rules.
Informing the youth should be the job of the old.


For any other RP:

Just follow #12 unless otherwise specified.
