Re: Server Rules

OOC Rules:
1: No Greaving or harassment.
2: No god-gaming, god-playing, power-playing, or power-gaming.
3: Use common sense. If you think it might be wrong, don't do it. And JUST because it's not written in the rules that it's wrong, doesn't mean you should do it..
4: Hostile actions MUST have ooc concent first. There's to be no pvp without both parties agreeing on it. There is, how ever, a bit of a loophole. Some players try to hide behind the rule, saying "well, I never agreed to it" when they're PKed for being an idiot ICly. If this situation is to arise, then I guess I could understand just splatting some prick. But there'd have to be a really good reason..
5: When the DMs are in game as players, please, do not harass them. They need time to play too. Think of them as any other player when they're not in DM mode, and please treat them as such. Would you want a bunch of people bothering you every time you're ig with a bunch or requests, questions, complaints, and problems?
6: OOC Concent is required for many things. If you think the other player might object, please, ask them..
7: No POWER-SLAVING.... for those players that might/may/will do the slave-thing, there is a three slave limit per player... not per character, per player.. you see, it comes to my attention that people sometimes make multipule characters JUST so they can have more slaves.. this is just a sneaky way to uber-slave. The same goes for making new accounts for having more slaves. This rule ALSO limits the number of slaves/pets a Master's slaves/pets may own.... for example....
If a Master gets a pet, then lets his pet get two slaves, then the Master in turn owns them as well through the line of power.. meaning the Master now owns 3 slaves, then the pet lets her slaves get pets, and through the line of power, the lead Master owns them as well... this is not allowed... a slave/pet owning a pet/slave is like the master owning another pet/slave, and is an easy and cheep way off power-slaving... so, if a Master gets a pet, he has a choice, ether get another pet himself, or let his pet/slave get 1 pet... the master would then have two, and have a choice of what to do with the last. And having lots and lots of wives... don't make us kick your buts. That's the same thing, just the name of it's changed from Slave to Wife. We're not stupid... a little out there, but not stupid. :wink:
This also means that players just MIGHT have to think before they go out grabbing slaves up.. boo-hoo... all and all, this would probably be best for the server. It cuts back on the problems that the slave-rp ALWAYS brings with it...
:arrow: Some players become jealous of others, I've found. If PlayerA has X slaves, PlayerB complains that PlayerA is power-slaving, and taking up all the slave characters cause PlayerB can't seem to get as many.
:arrow: Some people have a hard time understanding that (hopefuly) all the slave RPs are agreed to, and try to stage an unwanted rescue atempt. Then those playing the slave and his/her captor complain and nag to the DMs (i.e. Us.. kinda), and they have to go through total and compleat hell sorting it out..
:arrow: With a lessening of the number of slaves allowed, we also lessen the chances of people/players being hurt oocly. We've all seen it before. By making the number so low, the amount of time one can spend with this and/or that slave increases, because one has more time to do so...
8: Please, be mature about the play. This is a big one for us, and it makes everything easier on everyone.
9: All players and characters MUST be of legal age (18+). Some have argued that the legal age is 16... not here. 18 is the legal age. No acceptions or excuses. (Check the Disclaimer for this!)
IC Rules:
1: Don't be an IC idiot. I'm pretty sure that not everyone will get this, cause it sounds a little un-defined, so I'll give an example... breaking an IC law in front of the guards. True, they ARE NPCs, and won't attack you or anything, but that doesn't mean you should run around breaking the law in plain sight of everyone. Don't murder someone in public, don't rob people in the sight of guards and/or others, don't kidnap someone in plain sight. And "Good-guys", just cause someone is evil, don't think the guards would let you pick on them, and the same goes for "Evil people"...
2: No underage characters. This server may, and probably will contain adult conduct at the highest level, and is no place for such characters to be played.
3: Non-Gorean server. Due to the many problems (which will be explained) with the Gorean rp on servers, this form of slave rp shouldn't be alowed on the server.
The Gorean style of slavery was designed for a specific world in a book, where the people had a certan mindset, and a certan way of life. Bringing the ideas and concepts into a world that's not built to acomidate an inpaticular world built around different ideas is often a hard thing to do, and often brings a lot of conflict with it. It has been proven on multipule servers that the Gorean style of slavery rp is particularly hard to work with or work around, specialy in a D&D based world. It is true that SOME servers were able to work with the rp well, but it is also true to note that said servers held a same trait. All the servers didn't have DM run and motivated plots, and were built specificaly for bdsm/Dom-sub/slave-play. Most of which also having few to little IC rules.. we're no different in the area of IC rules, preffering to give players a free rule over what they do, but as the server plot will hopefuly have a lot of DM interaction, this makes things almost smotheringly hard for the DM staff to work around/with the idea of the Gorean play.
Also, the Gorean play is a server-killer/plot-killer form of RP, which is proving it's effectiveness not only in NWN, but in Star Wars: Galexies (SW:G), and recently WoW. It's been noted in NwN that servers that have catored to the Gorean RP (save two or three), have all fallen pray to a crippling loss of player activity in plot ideas, DMed quests, and general non-gorean rp. This can be crippling to servers, and many who were built with a running plot were dusted and dropped after the Gorean style of RP was introduced. In SW:G, it's been noted by serveral players that there are places where... one can walk into a full and crouded bar (with players, not npcs), find all gorean-rp players, and not find ONE person remorely interested in playing the SW plotline.. and recently, the Gorean style of play is working it's way into WoW (World of Warcraft). It is debait among players that it should be kept well away, after seeing what's been done in other games due to it's introduction. The Gorean style of rp is, it's self, in constent debait. Many would have it banned from IG (in many MMORPGs) for the fact it is such a said plot/server-killer. Others simply give the argument "it's just another form of RP". We do think that RP and fun is what the game is about, and everyone has the right to RP how/as they wish, but for the security of the server, the server plot, and the players of the server, the Gorean style of slave rp should be banned from the server..
4: Restricted special races. We don't want too many special and rare races running around in the server-world. In many servers you can find a lot of Drows, Demons and so on. We do not forbid them, but for example planaar-creatures and drows on the surface are very rare in a D&D-world and they are restricted to rpers, who can PLAY such races correctly. That means: They have to announce, ask premission to play a special char AND they have to prove they can rp good.
For example: In many servers are mass of "I'm a good one"-drows. That's shitty! Drows are 99% EVIL!!! That's why they are restricted!
Planaar/demon-creatures are still too rare in D&D, you can't find them around the corner.
The same with rare elven-creatures like Water-Elven etc.
And also races e.g. Vampires, Lycans and many many more...
How does an application of a player for a special character looks like?
For example:
Let's have the player offer an application of sorts. Something like
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Player Name/Sign-in:
Character:
Requesting Race:
Reason for wanting to play race:
Knowledgebase of race (Extent of/how well you know it of it's rp):
Future Character Bio:
Date of Request:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you for listening and following the rules!
