Rules Menu
This is a game for the true RolePlayer. You must want to RolePlay
without incentive or encouragement. If you are joining just to dominate
and create a powerful character you will not have fun here. No one will
hold your hand, but help is available if you do not understand
something in the rules.
Joining
There is no guarantee that you will be accepted to the RPG, so please
do not ask the staff about your join application. If no one has replied
to your application within a week, you may post a "bump" to redraw
attention to the topic.
Post only once. If your application is pruned, then you may post
another.
Your Forum User Name must match your character's name, and the names
may not contain numbers; only letters. Also, they must sound like
names. If they are inappropriate and/or do not follow these guidelines,
you will not be allowed to join. Please be creative and realistic with
your name; "Bit Cloud" is not acceptable.
Post
the following information in the Join Board on the forums:
Character's
Name: See
above.
Email
Address: Used
for administrative purposes only.
Age: Purely
for RP purposes; your character is not required to have an age.
Gender: Self-explanatory.
Character
Description: Should
include both a physical description and an explanation of your
character's personality. This section should be approximately two to
three paragraphs long.
Origins: A
detailed account of your character's backstory. This section should be
approximately three to four paragraphs. Again, please be both creative
and realistic with these. "So-and-so's past is unknown to everyone,
even himself" is unacceptable. You can have a past that is "shrouded in
mystery" to all outsiders, but you still have to explain your existence.
Zoid: You may
choose any stock Zoid to start with except those with GL restrictions.
Sample
RolePlay: An
in-character RP to display your skills. Many moderators prefer that you
include a bit of battle RP in your sample. This section should be
approximately three to five paragraphs.
**Please note that all applications should be spell- and
grammar-checked prior to being posted.
After
your stats have been added to the team page, contact your Captain to
gain access to your team's board and the other game boards.
Starting
Stats:
0 AP
4 Skill Points
Apply
your Skill Points to the following Pilot Attributes:
Mental Ability
Reflexes
Proficiency (See the Statistical
Data Defined page
in the Rules for the breakdown)
Each pilot receives 1,500 Monetary Credits to start with.
General
Respect the staff and your fellow players.
Participate often. If you do not post at least three times a week, you
will be dropped. If there is a reason why you cannot post, e-mail or PM
us as soon as possible, or post an explanation in the Absences topic on
the Pilot's Den board.
Please do not ask about updating; we will update when we can. Many
teams have updation topics in their respective team boards where you
can post a link to the RP/store post/battle that you need updated to
alert your team moderator.
Please refrain from posting in restricted areas unless you have
permission to do so. Restricted areas would include battles or RPs in
which you are not participating, and the InfoNet, Pilot Profiles, and
Join boards (again, unless you are in one of the approved categories).
We will be enforcing a 500 Monetary Credit fine for the first offense.
You will be fined 1,000 MC the second time, and, if it comes to it, you
will be temporarily banned on your third offense.
Keep arguments, unnecessary commenting, and "flaming" off of these
boards. There is no room for childish behavior in our RPG. Take it
elsewhere. If you do not, we have a system of consequences in place
which will be enforced.
No more than one character to a player. If we catch anyone with more
than one character, you will be kicked off and banned from the RPG. No
excuses. IP addresses are monitored, so if your friend is a member and
he/she is using your computer to post on the boards, the administration
will assume it is you. So no excuses, one IP to a member.
Before starting any battles, obtain a judge. There is a topic set aside
on the Battle Request board for this purpose.
Buying/Selling
Please include your team in the subject of your post.
To buy Zoids or other items, create a post in the store board. List all
the items you wish to buy with their full stats - the name, price,
damage points, slots used, and any other information included with an
item on the parts page.
To sell an item or items, simply create a post and list the item(s) you
wish to sell. You need only list the name and price for each item.
---> You will only be given 50% value for any parts being sold
back. Coatings of any kind are not sellable, nor is NanoTech armor.
Your purchase request will be locked when your stats are updated.
Transferring
Zoids
If you choose to switch Zoids during your time on the RPG, that is
allowable. Most after-market parts can transfer to your new Zoid, at a
cost of 300 MC per part. The only items that can not transfer are armor
coatings and the NanoTech armor.
Loans
To take out a loan simply start a thread on the store board.
Team Captains may take loans of up to 5,000 monetary credits. Captains
may also take out multiple loans without paying back previous ones.
Individual pilots may take out a loan of up to 1,000 monetary credits.
They must pay the loan back completely before taking out another.
Donations
Donating parts or credits of any kind to another member of the site is
strictly prohibited. Because we allow loans to be taken out, personal
monetary or RP credit donations between friends will not be allowed.
Equipment purchases and levels should be earned.
Donating used equipment or un-equipable weapons to your team stash is
acceptable, but admins can and will revoke this right if/when behavior
regarding it becomes dishonest or suspicious. Also, if a pilot borrows
something from the team bank of weapons/armor for an inordinate length
of time, admins reserve the right to make them buy it. |
