Dark Hour Server Rules
1. Remain in-character at all times. If you need to speak oocly, we prefer if you use tells. If you need to make a spelling correction or note something to a group of people, it's not a big issue- just please denote your OOC. //, (( and OOC: are all fairly standard forms of denoting OOC.
2. Be excellent to each other. Yes, this is a real rule. Treat your fellow human with respect, DM or Player. There are no exceptions to this rule, we expect all players to be respectful to one another, no matter the situation.
3. No God-Modding. This means you can't have your character be able to just anything with no limits or boundaries. Be aware of your abilities, and don't fabricate things just to win a scenario or make yourself seem more interesting. You're beautiful the way you are.
4. ALL players are encouraged to build a background for their characters, such as what they were doing before the apocalypse and when it happened (The undead have dominated Siranda for over 5 years). You are also encouraged to show this in a forum-side character biography. Players who complete a biography and have it approved in the Biography section of the forums are given considerable bonuses.
5. Party chat is in character! Rings of Telepathy exist, allowing your character to connect with his or her allies and communicate via this ring. Please denote your OOC in party chat.
6. Muling. Transferring equipment from one of your characters to another is a bannable offense. If a player sees muling or dead-dropping like this, tell a DM. Muling is when someone else holds the items for one character, and then conveniently no longer wishes to hold onto it, and gives it to the player's new character.
7. No Metagaming. This means using OOC information to grant your IC character knowledge that they wouldn't otherwise have. This is a pretty basic RP server rule.
8. Respect the DM if they make a request of you. We only ask things of a player if it is beneficial.
9. ERP. Should you wish to do so, do it in private (preferably in tells).
10. Some subraces are open, however anything above +2 ECL is not allowed. Check the forums for details on how to get in on this.
11. Everybody gets one. We get it, lag deaths and bugs are unfair. We'll accommodate you on almost every occasion, but only -once- will we take your word for it. Otherwise, your raise is at the discretion of the DM team.
12. The Common Sense Rule. We have to have it, because some people don't seem to understand. If you think you shouldn't be doing it, then probably shouldn't be doing it.
13. Pickpocketing has been disabled for the time being, until we release a customized pickpocketing system.
If you have any questions, or generally have to tell a DM something (Like witnessing any cheating by a player or DM), use the DM channel if it's a player. If it's a DM, contact the Admin.
