The Kingdom of Etirath is a fantasy-based, sandbox RP kingdom. Our community is open to all who are willing to participate, and follow the rules.
We operate on a three strike system. When you break a rule, you get a warning. If you get three warnings you'll be banned for a length of time the reflects your last offense. But do not worry too much about the rules. They're very basic, and hard to break if you simply act courteously.
Rules:
1.) RESPECT
This means:
- No discrimination
- No member bashing
- No staff bashing
- No racism
- No sexism
- No bigoted language or hateful/hurtful language, of any kind
2.) NO SPAMMING
This is an important rule, which covers:
- Posting one word/sentence responses. This is a multi-paragraph site where effort is required.
- Consistent displays of poor spelling and/or grammar.
- Irrelevant post in threads and/or topics
- Repeated double-posting (Remember, you can edit or delete your own posts!)
- Posting links to unrelated off-site sources
3.) NO ILLEGAL LINKS/IMAGES. 18+ RESTRICTIONS
- Do not post images or links of sexual or explicit nature on this site.
- Mature content (sex RPs, smut, etc) will not be permitted on this site. Keep it PG-13 (fade to black, etc)
- Swearing is permitted, but only In-Character. Use courteous language in OOC threads.
- Violence is permitted, but gore should be minimal (ex. spilling guts). Be sparing with your blood – it’s difficult to get out.
4.) NO MINI-MODDING
- If a member breaks a posted rule, report it to the moderators.
- Do not take it upon yourself to reprimand the user, or act in place of a moderator.
5.) IN-CHARACTER INTERACTION
A. No god-modding. Do not take control of a character that does not belong to you, and do not create a character that is ridiculously powerful. If your character should take a hit, take the hit. The point of RP’ing is not to portray your character as superior, or untouchable compared to others. Everyone has weaknesses, and everyone has advantages.
B. IT IS POSSIBLE FOR YOUR CHARACTER TO DIE. Etirath is a sandbox-type RP kingdom, and by creating a character you acknowledge that they can be killed. We want to avoid un-planned character death as much as possible, but sometimes circumstances and choices within the RP can lead to undesirable outcomes.
- If you begin a thread that leads to a moment where your character would die, abandoning the thread is not a responsible way to handle the situation. Do not leave your thread-mates hanging. Instead, contact them directly, or reach out to the moderators to discuss the situation. We will try to resolve it as fairly as possible.
- By dropping the thread without contacting the thread-mates or a moderator, you may forfeit your character, as you are no longer around to save them. So, remember, THINK BEFORE YOU ACT!
C. Do not argue with the admin or moderators in a thread. If you disagree with a decision, please send them a PM appeal.
D. NPCs (neighbors, passerbys, civilians, etc) are free to use; paint your story with them as you please.
- Staple NPCs (Innkeepers, or Silva from Silva’s Sundries) will be played by the admin or moderating team.
Lastly, please DO NOT be afraid to start a thread. We encourage activity and character interaction. DO NOT be afraid to submit ideas, characters, or feedback. If you're unsure about anything mentioned here, feel free to PM a moderator for clarification. If you have a question that is not answered in this thread, please post it in the General Questions section.
Happy RP'ing! Welcome to Etirath!
