Rules for the Continuity


1. MUST USE FREE-FORM TURNSTYLE - Free-form turnstyle means that when you post, you take turns. There is a posting order which you stick to and you post everything in one (or a continued second) post. When posting, if it deals with another character you always attempt your actions and when posting in reply to another's attempts, you inform them if they have succeeded or not. (see rule number 3) Dice are rarely used.

2. NO GODMODING - Godmoding is basically having god-like powers and the ability to change things beyond furre control. Magick is often an issue when it comes to godmoding as furres do not understand they must prep for spells, with one prep per post. (There are rare exceptions to the prep rule, and during those exceptions there is often consequences.) (see Magick Rules) GODMODING IS NOT TOLERATED.

3. NO TWINKING - Twinking is a post that affects another's character without attempting. For example: "Bob throws a ball and knocks Joe out." is twinking. An example of the same post without being twinkish is, "Bob throws a ball at Joe's head, attempting to knock him out." TWINKING IS NOT TOLERATED.

4. OOC HONESTY - There is a large difference between IC (In Character) and OOC (Out Of Character). PLEASE KEEP IC AND OOC SEPERATE. A furre can give a false name ICly and others most likely would not know, but OOCly, we, the Players/Gods of our own characters do know it is a lie. If your furre is carrying hidden weapons, casts an illusion spell, or poisons a weapon you must be honest and up front about it OOCly. Post these types of situations before your character commits the action(s) so OOCly we know that you are not lying. To take this OOC knowledge IC without severely legitamate and good reason is annoying, and can be considered a form of GodModing and twinking.

5. OOC RESPECT - This is an important rule. A character and the Player of the character can be two seperate beings. Remember that just because you do not like a character does not mean that you should disrespect the Player by calling names, annoying them, or simply by ignoring them. Intelligent Players often can create characters very different from their true selves and they do not deserve to be treated harshly because their character is a jerk. This respect also involves OOC fights. No one likes OOC fighting and very few like any OOC discussions. Please keep OOC to a minimum, about RP only, or to whispers. You should never insult how others RP. If it isn't up to your standards, try teaching by example. If you have a real problem with someone else, then speak to the Rah or the taneests. Also email logs to prove your claim, to the guild email address. wayfarers_inn@yahoo.ca

6.CONTINUITY - The dream continuity is a medievil theme. This means that any futuristic characters that wish to roleplay there, have to alter, to suit the surroundings. There are no acceptions to this. The timeline has to be followed. No pregnancies that last two days. We are accelerated, but not to that extent. Each RL week equals about 2 IC months. Also, this is fantasy based, but with some logic.

7.WEAPONS AND ITEMS - All weapons, armor, and items, -must- be of an accepted material. You CANNOT have such things of an unknown material, and therefore unbreakable. A list of accepted materials will be posted on this site in time. Until then, ask. All materials must have a known weakness.

8.REQUESTING OF JOBS - We will be hiring. But not just anyone will be accepted. Not just anyone can hire. You have to seek out Kithen Lacaob, Ja Lacaob or Songwind Eternity. There may be more names added in time. But it must be done IC, and during roleplay. Your request for a job will be ignored if it is in whispers. And no, you cannot claim the ability to mindspeak either of them, because IC that is something hard to do with them, due to their own protective abilities. Anyone who tries for a job will have to prove they can rp, before they are hired. We usually watch you RP in the dream for awhile, and then decide if you are staff material.

9.CONSENT - There is no consent rule here. So if you are involved in a fight, you must reply to it. Though you can be excused for an RP that involved your character without your knowing, if you can prove you were AFK the whole time. If you die, you must wait an RL month before you can be resurrected. And you must have proof of it, if asked. If no proof is available, you will remain dead in the continuity. You CANNOT bring your character back if their soul was taken. Basically, anything goes here, so you have to learn how to survive the things that happen here. Things that need consent are as follows; Anything that will destroy the whole dream, kill off everyone without them having to be part of it. Or anything that will require a change in the overall continuity. If you want to suggest an RP like that, speak to the Rah, so it can be discuessed between the founding members. If an disagreement comes up in an RP, the founding members, or the Rah will make final decision. No Rp will be voided without Rah consent.

10.DESCRIPTIONS - Everyone must have an IC description. It is to be of things that can be seen by others, and could easily be known. Not adds about other dreams, being single and looking. That can be learned through RP. No senseless poetry. No character history, unless on a webpage with the desc. No excessive use of brackets.

11.EJECTION - You will be ejected if you do not follow the rules, after being warned. No blocking of the doors or stairs, or you will be ejected. If there are complaints about you, we may have to eject. If it becomes serious enough, a ban will be placed on you. The staff are NOT allowed to eject eachother. If a problem comes up, taking it to the Rah. Do not rebel and block the dream because of it. This spoils the fun for everyone else. And the guardians have to be involved.
