OOC Rules:
- Be kind and patient.
- Keep lines of communication open.
- If you (as a player) have a beef, please take it up via a PM to Dray, or if not Dray, please reach out to the moderators of RPR. Please do not mini-mod. If your character has a beef with another character, try following that narrative thread to see where it goes. You may wish to check in with the other player before anything turns violent to be sure they're okay with a PvP fight.
- If you have any questions, please use the OOC tab of the thread to pose them, or PM Dray. Please do not intermix OOC and IC chatter in the thread expect for one sentence or less notices.
- Interested in running quests? Please PM Dray. As the game grows I would love to have back-up!
RP Format- Please respect one anothers play styles. We aim to play in 3rd person past tense, though during combat we may slip to present tense to keep the urgency of the moment going!
- This thread is available for larger scale RP's, like meeting and chatting in the tavern, forming parties, wandering around Cindergrove, etc.
- Private RP's are available for quests, moderated by the person who set up the quest and joined by characters who want to fulfill the quest. Quest-specific rules will be reiterated at the top of that private RP chain of messages and will be complete whenever the quest is fulfilled. Characters can transition back to this main public chat whenever they wish.
- Any romantic or extremely violent (gory, maim-y) threads must be taken to private messages.
- Combat is purely cosmetic, and for your badass character's pleasure. I trust you to make the best narrative choice, but please do not take this responsibility lightly. Help one another, take a hit once in a while, ask difficult questions, and look for the best possible story. That's what makes this game fun for everyone!
Monthly Activity Checks- Monthly check-ins will occur at the start of each month.
- You must pass a basic post-count to remain in the game. (We'll start with 5 IC posts per month, accumulated from the main RP or from 1x1 threads.)
- If you fail to post for a month, you will be removed from active participation. (You can re-apply, but you may not jump in without re-application.)
- If you are removed from active participation you will not lose any gear or XP so long as you kept track of it, unless you would like to for story purposes. (we're more about the social/RP than the stats grinding in this game!)
- Have you read these? If so, please remember to add the term specklemoo to your form.
- When you check in, you'll be asked to give a count of your posts from the start to the end of the month previous. These include private threads or posts in this public area. You only need to account for 5 for a basic pass, however more activity is awarded in the form of XP, which will allow you to take harder quests.
Character Updates and Tracking- You are responsible for updating your character sheet with new XP, coins, and items.
- Even if you do not want to RP item purchases, please leave an OOC note in this thread of what item you purchases from which merchant; this will be updated in the weekly merchant logs as there are limited quantities of things!
- You have the capacity to buy, sell, and trade items to one another or to merchant NPC's. Please keep track of sales with other players and update your character's belongings.
Exploration & City Building- You have the capacity to explore the surroundings of Cindergrove without taking up quests! Because of the mod-intensive quality of this game, there will be a monthly reward of exploration for active participation. Keep an eye out on more of that, later.
- You have the capacity to help Azureus decide how Cindergrove will grow! A monthly poll will be available for active participants on what to build next. Note that these buildings will cost gold and take time to build, and days will be measured IRL, so the town will grow slooooowly. If your character has suggestions not on the list, they may need to undertake special quests to gain the resources necessary to build.
- As the game grows, NPC's will begin to populate the town. You have the ability to take on an NPC, help them grow, and eventually level them up into playable characters. More on that as the game rolls out.
Misc. Rules- Trigger warning for death and danger: Because this is a questing/adventuring game, your character may suffer damage or even die. They are of course not dead outside of the game if you want to RP them elsewhere, but they are considered 'dead' in game until you are able (with another character, maybe the help of friends?) to resurrect them using a service or another player character's powers. This is costly, and can only be done once every three months IRL. Be careful out there! Please be aware that violence and depictions of injuries are likely.
- Future rules may be added or amended based on adjustments needed for the game.
