Rules of Angel Wing General Forum Rules Keep up to date on the rules. Any changes to the rules of Angel Wing will be announced publicly. It is therefore up to you to make sure you have read the revised rules so that you do not break them. One account per member. You are allowed to have more than one character, so there is no reason for duplicate accounts. Should you and a family member or friend share IP addresses and both wish to join, then the first to join should PM a member of staff to let us know before the other joins. Inconsiderate behaviour such as flaming is strictly prohibited. We at Angel Wing uphold a Zero Tolerance stance on flaming, and should someone be caught doing so, they will be banned. This is, after all, a community, and as such we should show one another respect. Racism, sexism or similar acts are strictly prohibited. These acts fall under the same Zero Tolerance policy as flaming, and will result in an immediate IP ban. Do not spam the boards. This includes posts containing single or useless/pointless words that do not add anything to the topic, as well as advertising anything within inappropriate areas. Adult material MUST be accompanied by a warning. The members of this board may find said material offensive. Please show respect for them by hiding it in a spoiler box and giving a clear warning. Anything that can spoil the game or the RP for someone MUST be put in a spoiler box. This can be done by wrapping the image or text in "spoiler tags" as shown below.
This would appear like so: Spoiler: click to toggle Images in signatures must abide by the size restrictions. All images must be a maximum size of 150x300 pixels. There may be members using slow connections, and signatures of a large size may slow the page loading down and ruin their experiences. All original material posted in the RP by members remains their property. Angel Wing reserves the right to use said material in order to recap or further the RP's story, however, we will never claim ownership of member-posted original content. Role Play Rules Angel Wing is a literate Role Play. This means that all posts within the RP must be written in prose and form part of the overall story for that thread. Thoughts must be written in blue text and in italic, and speech in red, whilst all over text should be left black. This makes it far easier to read. For example:
It is assumed that you have an understanding of Role Play when you sign up. However, we will offer as much help as we can, as long as it is accepted. If you prove to be reluctant to learn, then you will likely be left out of the RP. A Role Play thread must have a point. For now, the reason behind creating the role play (such as it being to introduce your character into its respective Faction) should be posted at the top of the thread's first post. We will be creating Faction-specific Role Play Planning threads shortly, were you will be able to plan out the begging and presumed end of an RP so that its direction can be understood by all players. All new members are considered "newbies". It does not matter whether you were an admin on 30 different forums, you are still new to this community. That does not, however, mean you will be looked down upon. No flaming "newbies". This falls under the same Zero Tolerance rule as flaming in general, and will result in an immediate ban. Role Play in English This is due to the fact that English is a wide spread language, on therefore people from around the world will be able to join and enjoy the RP. No character sheets of the playable character in Final Fantasy VIII This is because characters such as Squall and Rinoa are copyright of Square Enix, and as such we should not use the characters in the RP for both security and respect. Realistic Characters Only. Although this is a Role Play about a fantasy game, it is never fun for people to read about a "chosen one" type character, or someone that everyone automatically loves. People have positive and negative aspects to them, and so should characters. Consider and respect character individuality. Just because you have one character in Balamb Garden and one in the Galbadian Army doesn't mean they would both know the secrets the other has been told. They are seperate people, and should act and think as such. Characters can die. This can be through combat, illness or old age. However, permission must be granted before killing off another members character. NPC Characters as well as civilian characters permitted. If you want to make a civilian character, you may as long as they have an occupation fitting their citizenship. Also, if you want make a character specifically for official/governmental play, you may but it will count as an NPC character and will not be permitted to take part in battles or actions outside of government/official duties. No Godmodding! This means you are not permitted to make your character invincible during combat, nor are you permitted to have a character carry out phsyically impossible acts of speed or strength. You are all not allowed to take control of another player's character within a battle or interaction as it can be frustrating for the player and take away their enjoyment of the RP. If you can't end it, we will. This refers to conflicts between players, rather than characters. If said conflict cannot be resolved by the persons involved, a member of staff will step in and end it. Should it continue or be repeated after a member of staff has called an end to it, all parties will receive a minimum of a warning. Explicit actions should be avoided. This includes character acts of sexual behaviour or other explicit actions. If you feel that you absolutely must have explicit details in a thread, you MUST put an "18+" in the topic title. No copying a previous post in order to increase your post count. This counts as spamming, and will be treated as such. Battle Thread Rules Battle Turn Rules Battles between characters will take place in a turn-based style system, with each post acting as a turn. Will a battle post, you are permitted one attack manoeuvre and one reaction/dodging/defence manoeuvre. For example:
A Referee must be present! Each character versus character battle thread MUST have a member acting as a referee before it may begin. To request a referee simply post you request in the "Referee Wanted" thread with details of which characters are to fight. The only exception to this is during events, where the host of the event will act as a referee automatically. A Referee's decision is final. If the referee declares a match finished, either by time out or default, then that is the final word to be said on the matter. Winning a Character Battle The conditions for winning are as follows:
Requesting a Character Battle in the Arena When you simply wish to have a character battle that doesn't affect the main RP, then make a request in the Arena's main section. The following is a request template:
Once your request has been accepted and a referee has been appointed, you may create the Character Battle thread in the Battles section of the arena. The referee must then choose at random which character gets to post first. Edited by Rael, Sep 18 2008, 02:48 PM.

*cough* In Mikhail's intro thread, you used blue for thoughts, and red for speech. I found this easier to read myself, considering the red draws your attention. |
