Rules

There must be rules to ensure a drama-free environment, and RoK has a strict zero-strikes policy in place. If you break a rule, you will be banned from the SL. Our rules are incredibly simple to understand and easy to follow, and most importantly, they were created to keep the game fun.

Rules
Rule One:  Leave the baggage at the keyboard. No one wants to hear about the past problems you have had with (insert player name) when you played in (insert prior SL name). The moderators do not care, so don't bring it up.

Rule Two:  We don't require that you get along with each other, but try to keep it civil. If you find yourself being bullied by a particular player, the moderators encourage you to use the block feature provided by AOL. We still don't want to hear about it, though. Resolve OOC problems amongst yourselves.

Rule Three:  A lot of information is located on the forum, so you must register and use the forums. You are not required to use doHtml but if you are familiar with it, then please go right ahead.

Rule Four:  Players will not be removed from the storyline based on their character's attitude. The more undesirable, offensive, frightening a character is - the more he/she is welcome in the SL.

Rule Five:  When there is more then three players in the room, TB is turned off. Try having two players post at one time, to keep the play organized and easy to understand. If this method does not lessen the lag, then open another room or assume TB is completely off.

Rule Six:  CRP is strictly forbidden. If your character didn't hear it, didn't witness it, then they don't know it. Yes, they can guess it, but you better make it logical because we do check logs.

Rule Seven: By joining the storyline, you understand that there will be graphic content posted during live play and forum play. If this offends you, please do not join.

Rule Eight: This storyline is about the politics and intrigue. You are expected to add in character drama, and help us drive the storyline forward.

Rule Nine: Characters that hold a feifdom require more commitment than other characters. If you are not able to commit much time to the storyline, consider creating a lesser ranking character to play. Ranking positions will be reassigned if a player is unable or unwilling to advance the storyline plot.

Rule Ten: We want you to plot, we want you to plan, we want you to build a great story for your character. We want to help you. The moderators of the storyline have spent MANY hours formulating systems to provide an advanced RPG that is both fun and fair. If anyone is caught CRPing (or otherwise manipulating the play ooc) they will be removed immediately. No warnings, or second chances.
