•   OOC Mod policy: All players on this sim are adults and are responsible for their own OOC issues.  If you have an OOC issue with another player you can mute them, file an abuse report or whatever you deem necessary. But this is a personal issue and should not be brought to the administration or a mod. Do not ask the Admins/Mods to read logs and take sides. It is a personal issue that should be dealt with privately.

 

•    IC Mod policy: All players are adults. IC issues will be handled IC unless SIM rules are being broken. If SIM rules are broken the offender may be suspended or banned at the discretion of the Admins.

 

•   Don't call for a mod just because you don't like the way IC RP is going.

 

•   Group chat - Is OOC, all players are equal.  IC roleplay should not be discussed in group chat.  There is zero tolerance for insults or conflicts in group chat.  Moderators have the right to mute anyones ability to chat in group if it is seen as inappropriate.  Both instigators and respondents may be muted and depending on the severity of the offense a 24 hour SIM suspension may be included.

 

•   No OOC in local.  If you need to leave the RP suddenly then do so

 

•   Thought emotes without actions associated with them is poor RP.  Negative thought emotes will not be tolerated period.  If you aren't willing to say it out loud don't bother thought emoting it either.

 

•   Ejection/Suspension: Admins reserve the right to eject anyone they perceive as disruptive to RP without warning or explanation, or role play suspend such a person as long as they deem necessary to maintain a stable environment that fosters role play for everyone.

 

Please note:

-------------

DEATH RULE:

•   Must be Valid RP and reasons to kill someone.

•   Must be a minimal of 30 minutes of role play before killing. (See BC rules for their kill time and rules)

•   Death is not permanent but 24 hours in Turia. It is up to the role player to honor the death how they choose to. Be it permanent and a new character, or only 24 hours and resurrected with no memory of how they died. A 24 hour death concludes the part of the storyline that resulted in the death.

 

 

ADDITIONAL  Role Play Rules:

 

1. HOW SHOULD ONE BE DRESSED:

•    All people on the sim outside of the market must be dressed in proper attire for Counter-Earth and only humans and creatures in the books are allowed.

 

2. ROLE PLAY LIMITS:

•    Please note that it is your right to refuse role-play if someone is acting non- Gorean, or if your RP "Limits" are exceeded. 

•   Should you feel uncomfortable or uneasy at any given time during role-play, please contact the person you are role-playing with and explain to them your reasons for wishing to stop. 

•    We will not respect limits that are put in place simply to hinder role-play, such as slaves that can not bind you, or slaves that are not allowed by their Owners to be captured, re-collared, punished, or detained.

•   We do NOT honor nongorean limits. IE.  Hair cutting, capture, collaring, scarring, death, punishment.

•    IF you have a NO SEX limit you may FTB

 

Unrealistic Limits that go against BTB Gor will not be honored here on Turia's sims.  There are other role plays in SL you can go to if Gor is too harsh for you.

•   This is an RP sim, meters need to be set to In Character (IC).  OOC only allowed with moderator permission.

•   Trade gates cannot be used to enter the city for a raid.  Main gate only or grapple the walls.

 

READ RAID RULES FOR INFORMATION

 

 

4.  RP BANS

•   Role-play bans do not mean you can get out of a valid capture or valid role-play. If a situation presents you where YOU personally had RP banned a person OR situation, you have the option of FADING INTO BLACK.

•   You don't have the right to reset your meter or the right to tp out, you will be ejected and banned for doing so. 

 - If you have a role-play ban on someone that is a citizen of Turia or any Camp on the sims, you might just want to leave the RP & NPC yourself.

 

 

6.  FIRES

•    Ensure there are people in the City and that they can see to the Role Play of this.  Turia is a City  in the books that was noted to be nearly (3) million people. We Role play 1 million. They may not be present, but it is understood that they are there.

•   The setting of fires is permitted.  If you set fires use the touch/die fire only.   That way they can be extinguished quickly through role-play. 

•   Use of any other fire will be invalidated and sent back.

•    All settings of fires should be role-played 3 lines minimum for the initial starting of the fire or lighting of the first torch, then 1 line per action of setting a building on fire, etc.

 

 

7. UNDOCUMENTED RULES

•    Any issues not covered in these laws will be left to the discretion of a Moderator to decide if something comes up that we have not taken the time to list here.

 

8.  NON-BIASED SOLUTIONS

•    If a role-play must require a Moderator, no Moderator that is involved in the role play is allowed to make decisions.

 

9. KILLS

•    30 minutes of RP before kill can be done and must be done with a valid reason. This include slaves and animals. ((This does not Include Duels or assassin kills))

 

Note on Duels :

•   If you are in a duel, you may kill the loser of the duel with out the usual 30 minutes, but only if you state its a duel to the death and its accepted by the person you challenge and as long  as its agreed  upon and its understood OOC and IC the consequences

THIS DEATH Falls under the DEATH rule for the sim.
