Yup. *grin* I'm your new mod. I'm joining LizzyB to help keep you guys in line, so y'all need to read these rules or DYE trying, aight? Now go!
[/li][li]If you have never RPed before, we suggest you check out one of the Inns, or whatever else that is onhand that does not require signing up, just to get the hang of it.
[/li][li]When you have decided to participate in a RPG, you are required to keep an eye (or two) on the RPG you are in. Both discussion thread and the RPG. It is expected of you to post regularly, or at least follow the Game Owner's instructions.
[/li][li]Fill out the form the RPG requires:
NAME:
AGE:
FEMALE/MALE:
RACE:
PERSONALITY:
LOOKS:
HISTORY:
Optional:
WEAPONS:
That's the normal form we require. If the RPG Owner, (the one who comes up with the idea) requires something else, then please follow those instructions.
[/li][li]Keep everything canon with Tolkien. For example, there were only five Istari, and they were men, so don't create a sixth that is a woman, get it?
[/li][li]Chatspeak is not allowed. At all. This is an English site and we'll write English so everyone can understand. You may write in Elvish if you provide translation at the nd of your post. If you write in a chatty way, you will not get very popular, with the mods at least.
Example: u r cool is not acceptable, and posts containing such will be deleted or sent back to the gamer.
[/li][li]No swearing whatsoever. Be creative! Make up your own curses. You can never go wrong just saying "Curses!"
[/li][li]Try to double check your posts. Please try to avoid too many spelling and grammar errors. We do have understanding for those who don't have English as their first language, but we advice you to check your posts on an online grammar and spelling checker.
[/li][li]Your posts must follow the basic storyline. If the prince marries the princess, then you don't marry her, savvy?
[/li][li]No interfereing with other characters. I mean don't go killing, hurting or write about them in a way that doesn't fit to the character description, unless you have discussed it with them. NOTE: A gamer who feels their character has been mis-used or/and abused in any way, the Gamer who owns the character has every right to contact an admin, mod, or RPG Owner to tell them. Don't go flame the the other gamer.
[/li][li]Write good posts, at least 3 paragraphs. You don't need more than 3 sentences in each though.
[/li][li]And please, follow the instructions of the RPG Owner. It's their game, after all.
[/li][li]We advice you to only participate in maximum 2 RPGs at a time. If there is one you would like to join, but are at maximum, sign up only if one of your current RPGs will be over by the time the other starts.
[/li][li]Regarding Saves. 'Saves' are used to take up a space, which you intend to fill later. You can save a space and leave if for about 48 hours. By then, it should be filled. A 'Save' should always contain a sentence about what you are going to write about, so that the other gamers can carry on. 'Saves' are often used to save spaces for Gamers who are away or haven't posted for a while.
[/li][li]If you haven't posted in 10 days, an RPG Owner or an admin (or anyone else who would like to) may control your character, and write posts for them. If you still haven't showed up after 14 days we may do anything we'd like: kill off your character, for instance.... mwahaha... so beware.
