Hi, you must be excited to play the game! But first, let me introduce you to a set of rules you, me, and everyone has to follow.
Respect.
- We don't expect everyone to like each other in the game, but what we won't tolerate is dis-respectfulness. You can hate people but arguing over OOC or verbing them without reason? No. Nope. You'll get the BAN HAMMER.
Admin's Ruling.
- In any situation where an admin lays down a law, you follow it and RP through. We expect you to respect the decision of the admin.
Metagaming.
- This is when your character assumes they know something but actually got the information OOCly. For example, you can't know the person's name without asking them to introduce themselves. You can't get shikai or bankai without a captain teaching you how or even telling you what it is. You wouldn't know this person is a visored, unless they showed you their mask RPly. Basically, you wouldn't know anything unless told to you ICly. If you are caught metagaming, you also get the BAN HAMMER.
Strictly RP.
- Everything and anything you do has to be RPed out. Especially in fights, everything is RP unless both of you agree to settle it in verb.
Role-playing is the act of writing out every gesture, action, speech, etc and then performing them in-game. When you start taking OOC info into IC context, not only do problems begin to arise, but rp is also halted and ruined. Things such as sensing a player in a certain direction when certain actions happen, then chasing them down and threatening to kill them over something your character isn't completely sure of IC is one of those instances. Instead you should rp having sensed that character in that direction, investigated, then sought them out for an explanation before jumping to conclusions. When lines begin getting blurred and questions arise, it can ruin the experience not only for you but for everyone around you as well.
- Actions such as fleeing, stealing, hacking, attacking, destroying, killing, trapping, etc should be of sufficient length and quality to the action being taken. They should also explain what it is you are doing and why it is you are taking the action. But should not be any less than 3 quality sentences detailing such action. Killing, mass robbing, or destroying large amounts of items should be more a longer more elaborate rp.
Ranks.
- Ranks are one of the highest positions a player can achieve in game. They are not simply here to give you more skills or power to make you feel special. They are here to promote RP for the rest of the server. If you intend on applying for a rank, just to sit around and AFK or Power-game, then you've thought wrong. Anyone abusing their rank, not following the purpose that ranks are for, the plans provided at time of try-outs, or needlessly kills without reason will be stripped and placed on DNR (Figure-Ban) for 2 wipes. If you are already on DNR, you will not be able to apply for any rank.
Just Keep Playing.
- What you get is final. No asking for a different release, no asking for a cert, just play. Stop complaining and start RPing.
Death.
- Entering a garaganta without a hollow to -guide- you means you die. Going to SS in a physical body means you die. When you die, you get to be remade and reset by an admin. You get a rename, and a race change. Probably a bit of a boost since you worked hard for your character.
Have Fun.
- Some people will be stronger, some people will be weaker, just RP and have fun. That's what RP is, going with what happens to your character, ok?
