IMMORTAL STAND

In The Immortal-Stand RPG we all prefer longer posts with some thought behind them. It keeps your mailbox from being flooded with one line replies. If it's less then a paragraph, this is not the game for you.

Keep the others characters as true to their form when describing them. Don't move them around unreasonably, and please, if you are not sure what they would do in a situation either write the player off-list or end the post and let the other player reply.

In addition, please write well thought out posts and remember to use spell check.

Also, we all make typos - no need to point them out.

The age request here on the Immortal-Stand RPG is 18 and above. You have been warned, if content is 18+ and offends you, do not complain. By joining the list you are agreeing that you are over 18 years of age.

We encourage all new players to read through the character's bios and decide if your character knows someone from before the plague. Email the monitor to discover who each writer is and how to contact them.

However, please do not become a friend, relative, or past lover of another persons character without their permission first. If your character has a past history with another please clear it through that character's player FIRST.

If your character has a past with a canon character that is not taken in our game upon your subscription, it will be allowed at the moderator's discretion and when the character in question is taken the approved history will become canon for them.

We require a time, location and cast stamp at the beginning of each post. It's the only way to keep track of the action on the list and keeps everyone within a day of each other.

An Example. Joe's Flat - Denver Sunday Evening Joe/Amanda/Methos/Fran/Stu

DO NOT take someone else's post and rewrite it inserting your character's reactions and interject a few words between each paragraph. We are assuming that other characters are reacting when someone else is speaking and it is not necessary to see the same post six or seven times with a few modifications.

While gaming, please read *all* the responses that have accumulated before replying, and reply only to the latest information.

Your character CANNOT be in two places at once. That should be self-explanatory.

All OOC talk should take place on the OOC list for the game. If you need an invite, please mail us and we can send you and invite or directly subscribe you to the list: OOC List. When you join, please email the OOC list to introduce yourself and discuss where to start your new character.

Also, your character doesn't know what you know. Be mindful not to use OOC knowledge in your IC posts.

Do not take things said about your character personally.

Please do NOT kill or maim another persons character without their permission first. If you choose to have your character killed, you may create another. Canon characters can not be killed off without monitor approval. If you leave the game, the canon character you hold can be open to other players.

You may have as many canon and created characters as you can keep up with. If I think you are becoming overloaded I will ask you to cut back.

New Players: You may start with two created characters. For canon characters, new players are limited to two until we are certain you're going to post consistently.

Please try and post for your character at least once a week. I am not going to be super strict and insist you post everyday twice a day, but if you are part of an active story line making those you RP with wait for a long period of time shows little respect, and the moderators will support the people you are playing with to leave your character behind.

If you are going to be gone for a bit of time (longer than two weeks), please either move your character to a non playing mode, or hand them over to someone who can temporarily play them. This would be greatly appreciated.

If a player leaves without notifying the monitor of an intent to return to the game later, your created character can be killed off without further notice. If you need a break, please communicate it and we will work with you.

Failure to abide by these rules will have the following consequences:

First transgression - You will mildly irritate everyone on the list, and you will receive a kind warning from the monitor (or co-monitor if applies) to review these rules.

Second transgression - You will mightily annoy all members on the list, and you will receive a stern suggestion from the monitor to read the rules and follow them.

Third transgression - You will infuriate all members. Some of them will write to the monitor and complain about you, some will write to the list and complain about you. Some will write directly to you and complain about you. The monitor will place your posts on monitored (this means that everything you send to the list must first be approved by the monitors).

Repeated transgressions of the rules will result in removal from the list.
