Rules of Engagement
I. General
-This is a role playing site. If you talk about other things please do it in the correct boards. i.e. on the 'Anaweir' boards.
-This is a PG-13 site however this does not mean cuss excessively or make constant Adult references. This is simply to give older members more freedom to speak as they think their characters would. We do ask you to keep it to a reasonable level though. However if I think it is superfluous then I will let you know.
-No fighting. That is for PM only! No fighting in threads, C-Box, or any other area where others who aren’t part of your fight, can read it. I can ban you from the c-box and Boards so please don't!!!
-No harassing people. i.e. stalking, making rude comments, constantly criticizing, ect. These things do not include constructive criticism, because these do help people as long as you aren't rude about it. If you have any of these problems please contact me, however I'm warning you that I might not see the situation as you do.
-Staff are respected members of our site so no messing with them. They are not favorites, and Admins Kyra and Creya will kick your butts if you mess with them. So don’t even think about it. However if I see that they are doing something inappropriate then they will be reprimand and, depending on the severity of their act they may be bumped out of the staff position
II. C-Box rules
-The C-Box is a right not a privilege. We can kick you off, so don’t even try it.
-As stated above, no fighting here because we don't want to read it.
-Spam is against the rules.
-No advertising, you can put links in your names or put it in the Ad board and that should be good enough.
-Language is more tolerated here. But no long strings of stupid cuss words, if I need to I’ll make a rule against it just for you special people who like cussing.
III. Roleplaying
-No roleplaying until your character has been accepted by a staff member. No ifs, ands, or buts.
-No chat speak in your posts. It’s really annoying to the other person your posting with.
-At the moment there is no required post length. But put more effort into it than just a sentence, describe the surrounding area. If I need to put a post length I will!
-Your character can be in multiple threads at once. It is allowed but make sure you can handle the number of threads you put them in.
-No God-moding (when your charrie is invincible or you take over someone else’s charrie this can include just saying 'they smiled' or they said "..."'. This is so no one messes up what someone plans to do with their characters.)
-No Power playing (where you don’t let the other person’s charrie react to what your charrie just did)
IV. Characters
-Make your character’s bio under the ‘Weyr Book’ Thread then wait for it to be accepted by staff.
-When we accept it we will move it to the correct sub board.
-There is no limit on the amount of characters you have. But if you don’t use one for a while Kyra or I will send you a PM to either kill them… or start using them again.
-No Mary-Sues or Gary-Sues(perfect, everyone loves me characters), these are frowned upon because they are the most annoying characters on the face of the earth!!!! They will NOT be accepted.
-Elicitors will be discussed later.
V. Avatars and Signatures
-Avatar size is 100x100, so deal with it since we can't change it any way.
-Pictures must be appropriate or you WILL suffer the consequences.
-It would be helpful if you put something about your charries in your sig but it is not required.
-There will be NO signatures that stretch the page! That is one of my biggest pet peeves! You WILL be PMed about it if you ignore this rule.
VI. Marriage and Birth
-PM us if a charrie is getting married to another person’s charrie.
-You are not allowed to RP out how children are made. This is not something people want to read about.
-You can have one kid, twins or… if you really want to… PM Kyra or me and ask for triplets.
-You have to wait two weeks before the kid is born. It’s not instantaneous believe it or not.
VII. Death
-Yay!
-Your characters can die any time you want but please tell one of the staff so we can move their bio’s to the correct board.
-Characters can die from, sickness, old age, killings… or what not.
-You can not kill off other people’s charries without their consent. If someone does this to you, PM Kyra or me.
VIII. Raven’s Ghyl
-We will have tournaments (The Roses will be addressed later) Only Warriors can enter. I’m sorry everyone that’s just the way it is.
-We will have these… whenever Kyra and I get around to it ^.^
IX. The Roses
-I told you we’d get to them.
-The Roses are alive and well (sadly). You can have your characters be a part of the Roses if you so wish.
-If you are a part of the Roses, then good luck to you, but no being leader of the Roses or Game Master or anything like that.
X. Elictors and Magical Items
-Elicitors are only given out every few months. You may not make an Elicitor unless you win. These drawings every few months are random and only have a few requirements. If you decide to make an Elicitor without winning a drawing, said Elicitor will not[/b] be accepted.
-Magical items are rare. They will be given out during Contests in the future. Please do not make characters with Magic swords or sefas. Things made by sorcerers as long as they aren't ultra powerful Sefas are fine.
XI. Other
-This is a world where Jack, Ellen, Seph and all the others DON’T exist. No do NOT ask for us to make it other wise. There are traders, Roses, Bears, Rebels, anything, but no characters from the book. And no making characters that are similar from characters in the book.
-This is based off of a series however we don’t ask you to read the books because a complete back story/summary-of-what-you-need-to-know will be available. ^.^
-Make this site happy and friendly or your butt will be half way across the world before you can say other wise.
-We would prefer if you did not post pictures or information about yourself on here, simply for reasons of protection. However you may do so if you wish.
-Don’t take anything off this site before talking to us first. We are happy to help you with anything you need but we don't like stealing
-Throughout the rules are various underlined letters, put the letters together in order and they will spell a word that you need to make a character, this may be tedious (I'm sorry) but it is to ensure that everyone has read the rules. Thank you!! .[/color]
