Rules and Regulations
Some simple rules to keep the fighting in the story and not outside it.
1. The RPA rules must be followed at all times. Remember this is still their website, so you follow their rules at all times.
2. Keep OOC and IC separated at all times. There is an OOC thread for anything you wish to discuss about RoW. Any complaints, ideas and suggestions can be posted there, but if you really want them to be seen, you can post them to any of the GMs of this project. In the IC sub-forum, any and all posts will be In Character.
3. If you wish to join this role-playing environment, you will have to set up a character profile with the template presented in the Warriors forum. While you won’t be judged with an iron hand, there is a certain ability to proper RP expected for this project, as well as a willingness to partake in this. Filling out the template will prove that for us, as well as allow us to keep tabs on your character and reward him or her appropriately.
4. All battle and story-affecting threads will be marked by specific tags. You are not allowed to create threads with these tags safe through approval from one of the GMs. You are free to make regular role-playing threads however, which can be deemed by spectating GMs to be a valid addition to the story. They will ask you about that when they determine so, but do not ask them to approve your role-playing thread to be added into the story.
5. Unless determined by GMs or the owning player, characters CANNOT PERMANENTLY DIE. Do not claim that a character of someone else is forever lost and dead. You can kill your opponent’s character, but they will be revived again. Don’t like it? Too bad for ya.
6. All story-affecting battles and threads will be announced in corresponding thread. This will be the one and ONLY chance to sign your character up for this. Late joining will not be allowed unless with special permission from the hosting GM(s). If you missed the announcement for an important battle you wanted to join, we’re sorry, but you can only hope there’s a chance to join late at some point.
7. Your character can only be in ONE story-affecting role-play thread at any time. This is to avoid paradoxes. You are allowed to have multiple characters up to a limit which will be displayed in the Warrior sub-forum. (This limit may be subject to change as player demand or project needs change.)
8. The regular, non-story affecting role-plays can be made at any time, by any one, be it a GM or a player. These are the role-playing threads to release you from the restrictions of the official threads. Your character can join as many of these threads at a time, does not have to sign up for them, can join them late if the GM of that particular threads allows it so, etc… You do not even have to play the character you signed up for the role-play. This thread will merely allow you to role-play in the setting that RoW gives.
9. The outcome of official battles and such will be decided by the GMs. Their decision is final and if this does not stroke with your likings, you can voice your complaints in a polite and civilized manner, or remain silent. If that can’t be done, we’ll be sure to relief you of your participation in this project.
10. All official battles and story-affecting roleplays will be set to a limited duration to make the story process at a decent pace. You will be allowed to post as often as the posting order allows before the time expires. The only exception of this are the duels, which will have a set number of required posts. But if for some reason, that number of posts is not reached within an alloted time limit, the duel will be judged on the posts already present.
