Rules for threads in Tortal RP

[oelinuial]

Hi all! I'm Oelinuial and I'll be RP Master for this group of threads.

Welcome to the World of Tortall, home of Tamora Pierce's Tortall and other countries, and the many different peoples that populate it.

This thread is for the rules (no duh ) and any breakage will result in 1-2 warnings, suspension, and then removal from the RP. I'd really rather not do that so please stick to the rules.

I'll be posting the rules (as replies here) in categories over the next couple of days as I think of them. Anyone who wants to join in the fun please read the rules and post in this thread (after I get all the rules up) that you've read them.

[oelinuial]

Common Courtesy Rules:

Follow Chance's general rules.

No Cursing as we know it, Tortallan and other forms IC are allowed with moderation.

Do NOT post strictly OOC comments in the IC threads. There's a special thread just for those. An OOC tag/comment at the end of a post is fine.

Please USE the spell check!

NO one liners!!

Always use third person format please! This means you HAVE to name you character in the post!

Any problems/questions take them to the OOC board or me. If the problem is with me please TALK to me first before bothering Chance.

Do NOT double post. Basically, don't post with the same character in the same situation/time twice in a row. If you want to change/add something please edit back into the original post. It's alright to post with the same character in two different situations/times twice in a row.

Have fun!!!!

[oelinuial]

My Rules:

Absolutely NO black robe Mages!

Please place the participating character's names in () at the top of the post to prevent utter confusion later on.

If you make more than one persona at least one must be human. For more than 2 at least one must be of the opposite gender.

Hm, that's all I can think of right now. I'll edit more in as I think of them.

Well.... I've read what is here.... and accept these rules of massive doom..... Might I suggest a few threads? Perhaps a Tortallion Palace thread where Knights are trianed and what not.... King Jonathon.... yadda yadda.... doom and suffering......

[oelinuial]

Zi that's what the two Tortal threads I have made are for. Training that takes place in the capital or Pirate's Swoop (for Riders) goes in the Corus/Pirate's Swoop thread (mention which city at the beginning of post) and training that takes place elsewhere (squire or page outings) goes in the Out and About thread. As for King Jonathan I'm actually considering setting this RP roughly 100 years after the Trickster books so as not to overlap or inadvertantly use Tamora's characters.

[A Lobster Formally Known as Zi]

Ahhh.... I see..... SO we're useing all made ups then?

[oelinuial]

Ya I think so. Personally I think it's more fun that way. Oh and since we're just starting out and there's not alot of us here if you want to play a Knight you can go ahead and start with one instead of starting with a page if you don't want to.

[A Lobster Formally Known as Zi]

Hmmmmm..... or we could have multiple characters ^^

[A Lobster Formally Known as Zi]

Nah.... I like pages ^^.... who's the training guy? You get to control him cuz your the rp master

[oelinuial]

Of course you can have multiple characters. I'm working on the Training Master right now. He's almost finished and I'll post his profile as soon as I get done with it.

OOC: umm... I hope you know, it's spelled TORTALL. >.>

[oelinuial]

ya, I know. Accidentally spelled it wrong.

[Hiei Jaganshi]

Okay, I've read these rules. Is it okay to create a character who's a Shang warrior? And if so, since Liam Ironarm, the Shang Dragon, died in the last book of the Song of the Lioness quartet, could my character possibly be the new Shang Dragon? I'm thinking of having her be from Pirate's Swoop. Either that, or Conté.

[oelinuial]

Hmm, I guess I don't mind your playing a Shang. If I remember correctly Shang do not take members of noble houses. She could be from Pirate's Swoop but it would have to be as a commoner. Also most female Shangs do not pick names of Immortals. Only one or two have ever done that so it's very rare. The only female Shangs with names of Immortals that were ever mentioned were the Gryphon and the Unicorn. So while I don't mind you're playing a female Shang she couldn't be the Dragon. It just doesn't fit in with the books.
