... PeRsOnAl ::
This site will be strict concerning the rules, not to the point of stopping RPG from being fun, but simply to ensure that everyone respect them and also gets on well with each other and some guidelines are established. I honestly believe it would be difficult to RPG if there are no rules on what you can do or cannot do, despite how all or most RPG sites have rules that state more or less the same things. So I hope this rules help you, however if you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me (Gawain) or Isolde.
And so, without further ado... the rules...
1. No vulgar language will be allowed wether among the people of this forum or guests who posts adds or even talk in the chat-box, it is annoying having someone being rude to others, surely there are other ways so solve problems.
2. If you have a problem with another member let the staff know and we will sort things out nice and easy among ourselves instead of creating a massive problem where there surely is none.
3. No one is allowed to send pms of people asking them to join your own forums or websites, there is already a board for advertising so stick to it, even if you are a loyal member here. It is annoying to receive millions of pms only to ask people to join sites, so if people make advertising board it is so that people can look for other sites if they so wish.
4. No stealing other people's 'original' characters and then playing them here or in any other forum for you will be banned and never allowed to be on this site anymore and word might spread to other sites, so please make your own characters or play cannons, there are plenty of cannons to chose from in these legends.
5. If you are going on Holiday, exams, etc... There is a board - click here - for you to let us know what is going on and hopefully for how long you will be gone. That way we will know you did not suddenly leave and won't have to delete your account or anything of the sort, that also will help keep things going.
6. The graphics of this forum as well as original characters, rules and plot-lines are copyrighted to this forum and it is made for entertainment purposes only so please no plagiarism allowed.
7. No copy/pasting from other sites unless you quote the specific site, link, author, etc. If you are making a cannon biography please don't simply copy/paste from wikipedia or the sort, be creative and work on the history yourself.
8. This site is rated PG-13 or more since it deals with Pre-Medieval Times, an Era of many battles and struggles, and conspiracies so do take that into account before making your character biography, make sure you agree to this.
9. You are not expected to know everything about the Legends of King Arthur, that is why I made a board for Annals of information to help you out through the gaining of knowledge.
10. Every two months there will be voting for the male character of the month and the female character of the month, once we have more members it might include couple, haven't decided yet.
11. If a member registers he or she is expected to complete a character biography within two weeks, otherwise that person will be deleted form the forum.
12. If some characters are inactive for a month, maximum, and hadn't told anyone why or how it is they were to be inactive, the plot those characters were involved in will continue without them.
... InTeRaCtIvE :: RPG
1. Please RPG as things would evolve in the year 410 A.D. at that times there were no cars, no electricity, etc. so please remember that this RPG is not contemporary to us.
2. I am well aware of the existence of the BBC series and though this forum does not follow the plot line of C's 'Merlin' we are willing to accept any original character, for example Lady Sophia, among others... that are not cannon in the Arthurian Legends, so please no MErlin or Arthur of the BBC but rather the legendary ones are the cannons that will be accepted.
3. If you have any queries related anything at all please pm a member of Staff and we will be more than happy to help you, it is best to deal with some things through pms, especially when not everyone can log at the same time.
4. Please keep your characters cannon to the times you are to RPG in, there was never a perfect person nor all women were warriors so try to be consistent in characterisation. There were obviously exceptions but not in every single case, you must have a good motif for making certain characters.
5. When fighting with other characters or dealing with them you are not allowed to kill them or do anything to them without previous permission from the owner of said character and a member of Staff must be informed of such agreement as well, this will help things in order.
6. Make sure you do not Power-Play (in other words G-mod), by this it means not to create your character almighty, indestructible, flawless, etc. Everyone has flaws, no one is perfect and even character of legends were represented with said human and realistic traits.
7. Magic is obviously allowed in this forum however you must be realistic with it as well, it can't be used for every single thing or situation, for surely real persons form legends would not be flying form one place to the other, so be consistent. At present only four kinds of magic will be allowed:
Paladin : Mainly persons with healing abilities, it is some kind of white magic but in this case it will be reduced to mainly healing please.
Mentalist: Person that can read the thoughts of another person, this ability will be limited to only whenever a person is thinking about the mentalist. Just to make things fair for others.
Elemental: Persons that can control one or more than one element, with prudence.
Shadow: Persons with black magic abilities.
So, if you are planning on making a Druid, or a character with a magical trait pm me and we shall discover the abilities, I believe magic was and is rather complex to reduce it to some abilities that then all character will share. So we can make it unique, and so pm me (Gawain) or Isolde and we will see what we come up with.
8. There is no limit to the characters you can play here so long as you have enough time to play them and it doesn't affect your real life, as in school, etc.
9. Make sure to have an avatar and signature for your character so others can know what they look like. If you don't know how to make them or who to ask for one, pm me or make a thread in the Off-Topic board and I'll have a friend of mine make graphics for you
... That being said... have fun everyone...
