Rules of Conduct
Rules of Conduct
They're posted because I expect them to be followed!!
- Most Important Rule Number 0) The minimum age limit recommended is 17 years of age. As stated before, I can’t guarantee you’ll all be this age. But I have stated below the contents of the RPG, as well as the actions I will take if someone tries to get me in trouble for this. I’m a nice person, but I won’t take bullets for anyone else if you know what I mean.
- 1) I’ll state this now, I believe in freedom of expression as much as I do in moral standards. I do not allow people to censor my writings, but I will place limitations on what is put out.
- 2) Profanity is allowed, however, it cannot be used every sentence, etc. Use it when necessary, or you seem ignorant.
- 3) Considering this is a horror style game, it’s gonna get bloody and violent. Live with it, but I promise there won’t be anything TOO, TOO horrid. Even I have limits.
- 4) Sexuality is often a thing that is touchy in RPGs. Let’s leave it like this, I’ll accept anything that’s low-R rated, but I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING MORE! I despise total sex! Nor will I accept explicit sexual perversion.
- 5) Furthermore on sexuality, your character is yours to design, and I’m not going to protest if you want a homosexual character. In fact, I myself am a fan of yaoi, for reasons I need not explain, I think. However, this is not a strictly yaoi RPG. I encourage being open to almost all forms of creativity.
- 6) If you have a problem with something, address a message to ME and only ME, and we’ll work it out. I’m a stickler for confidentiality, and I dislike matters being fought over by everyone in a game because it creates unrest and detracts from the story line.
- 7) This is an anime-based RPG, but because it is based off my own form of world as well, I will not allow any characters from either VHD movie. All characters must be original.
- 8) Do NOT, I repeat do NOT join this RPG if you’re going to complain about the views presented in it. I will kick you from the game if that happens. I HATE IT when people join something like this, then harp to me that I’m evil and going to hell because my beliefs are different!
- 9) NO CHAIN LETTERS! I’m sorry little Annie in Russia has cancer, but I seriously doubt my forwarding a letter a thousand times is going to have any impact on her life, and I KNOW Microsoft ain’t gonna give me money for sending around a letter about them.
- 10) As far as rules go, I AM GOD. My word goes, and I am a fair person, so do not question me. If you do, I’ll say tough nookie. I have NO idea what a nookie is, but I’ll bet it’s tough to begin with, so it’ll just get tougher!
- 11) For God’s sake, HAVE FUN! I know there are rules, but they’re a lot more lenient than other RPGs I’ve been in!
- 12) I used to like baseball, so here’s a tip. Three warnings, for infractions of the rules. And if you get those three, well, guess what? You’ve struck out and got your ass kicked out. You CAN earn yourself off strikes by ‘’good behavior’’, meaning you don’t do anything wrong for a certain amount of time. And if you Do get kicked out, I may be convinced to let you have another try, but I’ll be watching you like a hawk.
- 13) Try to post as often as possible. I myself know this is a hard thing; I may at times have to leave the RPG hanging for as much as a week due to time constraints. I am a member of many musical orchestras, I attend martial arts, work at a hospital, I’m part of the Air Force JROTC, and I’m a full-time student. Thus, I run out of hours in the day.
- 14) I’ve gone to all the trouble of writing out all the things necessary for the RPG, and I didn’t do it for myself. I did it for you, and I’d advise you read it.
- 15) Further more, I went to the trouble of writing the Guidelines for you, so you know how I want everything to be posted. Please do so.
- 16) I reserve the right to admit and reject characters at my discretion. If its only something about our profile, I’ll give you unlimited chances to change it. But if I happen to know you from another RPG, and I know how you played there and I know it wasn’t right, I’ll not give any reasons why I reject you.
- 17) When you’re accepted, the first thing I’m going to ask you is whether or not you read the rules. I will keep the reply on file. Therefore, if have a problem with anyone’s Mommy or Daddy, I will forward them the letter you sent me stating that you knew and read the rules.
- 18) Okay, here’s the fun part. When you receive a post, or start one, it will be started like so:
Lonesome Travels: Act One: The Illumina Council
- Started By: Samael
- Players: (Your characters names will be stated here)
- Blah, blah, blah, yakitty-shmakitty . . .
- Okay, now, when you get this post, you’re going to COPY the post (meaning for the computer illiterate you select all of the post, then right click and hit copy). Then you hit reply, which will have EVERYONE’S address who is playing. Delete the stuff on there, because I hate those little arrow thingies! And then paste the message. Then, add to the bottom and send. Presto!
