1.No Harassment(sending offensive RPs to people, messing with them, etc. In PM or in the OOC boards).
2.No Godmodding(Making yourself win, making someone else take a hit or lose a battle, example: Alberto swung his Broadsword, decapitating Michael.) You must give the other player a chance to respond, dodge, take the hit etc.
3.No Taking Over the World.(By this I mean that since at first not many countries will have human rulers so no beating all the AI nations and taking over most of the known world, unless it fits in with real polotics etc. of the time, PM me if you have any questions on how far you can go.)
4.Threads that may be offensive, such as threads with cussing or nudity, must be specified with an [R] in the title. If you wish to only RP with a certain few put a
in the thread title, specifying Private. Do not go into a Private Thread unless invited.
5.Adhere slightly to history. While this board gives ton of leeway in RPing, we have to stick somewhat to history so we can get past the First Crusade, this means not Conquering all of the Middle East and Africa or destroying Islam or Crhstianity or some of thier main things, (such as Mecca). PM me if you have any questions about this rule.
6.Be realistic. No Super Characters. Your Char cannot dodge every slash or stab, every rock or arrow. And do not RP like that, Your char cannot ride alone into a hundred guys and take them out. And no Peasants raising super armies and conquering half of Europe in a week. Be realistic in your RPing, if you have a question about how far you can go PM me.
7.No going beyond the times. No inventing Canons or Guns or Nukes etc.
8.Try to keep it clean. In the OOC. board no links to Porn or adult-related sites, and while I can tolerate some cussing, having a cuss word every other word is not allowed.
9.This site is abotu the Crusades. There weren't wizards or arcane magic in these times, as such, there are no options for being a mage etc. and no Magic. You could be an underground Wiccan in Europe, a Wiseman/Astrologer in the Middle East, or a Voodoo/Spirit practicer from Africa or India, butn o big time Wizards or anythign like that. If you have any questions o nhow far you can go with Magic, PM me.
10.No being Pope/Head Patriarch. The Pope, Head Partriarch, the Byzantine Emperor, etc, are very influentual and important people in these times, as such, no one can really RP them right, so no human wil ltake their position.
11.No Double Posting, IE posting twice in a row, RPing with yourself, etc. Just post it all in one post. If you forget something, edit your post or post after someone else does, if a thread dies talk to a mod or admin so they can bump it, but posting twice in a row makes RPing annoying, hard to follow, and one-sided, so it's a no-no.
12. Have common sense. You can probablly tell if something your doing isn't right, if your not sure, PM me or some other Staff member.
13. Have fun, this is what the Sites all about.
Further rules will be added as the Staff will see fit, and other rules can be found in How to Role Play, Character Creation, and other threads in the RPG Talk Category.
