Here is where we'll be going over the very basic rules of the forum. most will appear as common sense or things to which most of us are accustomed to seeing from board to board. Although these do need to be here as a written statement and of course guideline as to what will and will not fly, each forum is different after all. These are always subject to change.
[No Powergaming]
- Powergaming is a no no, period. This is a rp server. Role Play or go elsewhere. If you are going to powergaming, you will be warned and dealt with accordingly. Powergaming is when you do everything you an to make your character god, this isn't just boring its unfair to other plays and people on our server.
[No Public Cybering]
- This is a PG-13 server. Please keep cybering to tells, or in whisper in a private location. We don't want to see it. And you don't want to explain it. We allow you to Cyber if you wish, but keep it out of the public eye. As well, Do not cyber with a character under 18 as for some people that is highly disturbing. Just don't do it.
[Metagaming]
- Any action that allows you to make any decision you would not normally make due to outside knowledge that your character would not normally possess. If you are caught Metagaming, you will be dealt with Accordingly. metagaming is the act of trying to make your character know something they obviously would not for your own personal IC or OOC gain.
[Purchases]
All RP Token purchases for your characters must be logged on their character bio. You must state the amount of tokens spent, what was purchased and the DM that did the purchase. This is to insure no one is cheating, and to keep a log of where all your RP Tokens are going. DM's also have a log of all purchases to make sure all of the purchases are kept legitimate.
[Character Refunds]
When refunding a character, a few things determine how much of a refund you will get. Everything that you purchase on a character is refunded, when you decide to kill / NPC the character. Items are always refunded at 100% token cost spent, unless you decide to pass the item onto your next character or another PC, at which time it will not be refunded. When you refund a character that is less then 3 months old, you will receive a 1/2 token refund on the total amount spent (Minus the cost of items, if you had any) and these will be given to your new PC. If you refund a character that is older then 3 months old, you will receive a 3/4 token refund on the total amount spent (Minus the cost of items, if you hand any) and these will be given to your new PC. The age of your character is determined by the creation date of your Forum Bio. In some circumstances you may be given a higher refund, but this decision lays solely on the Admin and the circumstances of the refund. All character refunds are final, and can not be undone once the DM has posted on the characters bio that they have been killed / NPCd.
[Other / Enemy Villages]
- If you are a ninja from a hidden village and you go to a village not friendly to you. You are subject to perma. There will be no arguments about if you are killed. You shouldn't be there so do not go there. Entering a village that you have stumbled upon randomly is note permitted unless it is an allied village or you were taken there by someone from that village. This rule will be pushed greatly, and those that do not follow it will be punished.
[Player Property]
- If a area is owned by a player, meaning they have boughten it with tokens, and sent it in adding it to the model, and you stumble upon it, or 'fall in' so to speak, it doesn't mean ICly you found it. Ask the creator first, for all you know that door, or gate, or trapdoor, whatever, was locked and barred with 500 explosive Fuuinjutsu.
[Character Levels]
- Each character, depending on their Rank is subject to a maximum level. For more information, read the Rank Rules. All levels are automatically given here, not bought nor gained through killing Spawns on the server.
[Banned Classes]
- Because we have a system here made to give your characters a Total of +5 Free mods from Chunin to Jounin, we do NOT support the classes that grant 'Extra' Great Stat Feats. For this reason, ALL Classes but the following are Banned. If you are caught once with them we will relevel you, slap your wrist gently and point you at this rule. If we catch you a second time you are gonna be in trouble. The Classes that we ALLOW here are: [ Bard / Rogue / Fighter / Barbarian / Cleric / Ranger / Monk ] Please stick to these Classes. Note: Great Stat Feats and Epic Skill Focus Feats are allowed.
[Customized 'Extras']
- Each character is aloud their own custom Abilities/Items/Weapons etc. Each of these must be submitted to the DM team before you can use it. For a list on more information, read the Custom Weapon/Items/Abilities Information.
[Concerning DM's]
- If a DM is caught abusing their power, players, or other DMs they will be dealt with severely. IF a player is harassed by a DM please take a screen shot and submit it to the forum DM or Admins. DM Staff is all for one, and one for all. ALL DM's are equal. DM's are players too, please refrain from spamming them with DM questions, unless they approve of. We are all players we deserve some RP time too.
[No Flaming/Bashing]
- Naturally we must request that people treat others with the amount of respect you wish for yourself to receive. It seems quite simple in theory to just assume if your rude to someone that they may not be anything less to yourself, and these are feelings to which we would like to avoid here on the board. Feelings as such can create a hostile environment for the members and that can really kill a mood. Rule of thumb folks, just don't take things too seriously, this is meant to be a fun experience, not something that you should stress over. Any problems you may be having should be addressed to a staff member to be dealt with.
[No Trolling]
- One could assume that this would be mostly said in the rule above, however Trolls crave upon the chaos and to bait people into their world if you will. It will only be said once, Trolls will absolutely NOT be tolerated in any shape or form.
[Player Harassment]
- If a player bugs you, and becomes an annoyance, Get a screen shot of the conversation. And send it to the DM Team. The Person will be dealt with. If you are caught Harassing anyone in tells, party, or otherwise on an out of character level. Punishment will be quick and sever to an automatic level 2 Punishment.
[Drama]
- We all know these groups of people who like to make a mess of things which are for a lack of a better word, not as big as it seems or they try and direct an issue at a member whom they do not like for various reasons. This of course isn't allowed as mentioned before, it can make the environment a bit tense for members not involved. You have a problem with someone, you take it to the staff, they don't feel the same way, well tough. I'm not saying that we will not listen to your case, but if we decide it's not a big deal, well sorry. No taking this sort of thing to the c-box either.
[Have Fun]
- Not much of a rule. but this sort of thing can be what people need to lighten up after reading a list of stuffy rules which really bring a certain aura to the rper. Some may seem strict at times, but its all for the benefit of the players who join the community. Remember that this is a site to not be taken all that seriously, it's a place for one to enjoy one's self and have a fun time. So to all those joining the board, I bid you a welcome, and a fun stay.
