Register

Submitted by Horo on Sat, 02/16/2008 - 17:07

One last thing before you register for our forums! In Adylheim, we ask that people use their character's name as the name of their account. Don't worry--you can always register another account if you want another character. If you register an account and want to change the name, please PM an Admin with the proposed name change. Since this is a fantasy play-by-post, we ask that you follow a few common-sense rules when registering an account:

1. Alphabetic characters only please. Dan183@7 is not an acceptable account name. You can either use your character's first name (John) or full name (John Smith).

2. Use proper capitalization. DaN SmItH is not acceptable, but Dan Smith is.

Code of Conduct

Submitted by The Mad Professor on Sat, 02/09/2008 - 22:39

Adylheim has a code of conduct that everyone who plays will be expected to follow at all times. This is primarily a matter of etiquette: we want the game to be fun for everyone, and a civil community is an important part of that. The staff reserves the right to punish or expel any player who is in violation of these rules.

1. Treat other players (including staff members) with respect.

2. No out of character racism, sexism, or other forms of discrimination or spreading of hateful speech will be tolerated.

Posting Rules

Posting

The contents of in character posts should not refer to out of character events or things.

Continuity Declarations

All storylines should be marked with a Continuity Declaration, this means that it should be at the top of every thread which is not a location thread, and on every post in which a character enters a new location thread. Look here.

Flexible Continuity

Q: Do I have to account for every day in my character's life?

A: Nope! In fact, we do prefer that you didn't write about every time your character buys a sandwich or visits the outhouse (though you certainly could, if that's your fancy). Focus on the important and interesting events in your character's life, like chapters of a novel, and don't fret if there's a gap in your character's timeline. This just means that nothing particularly interesting happened during that time.

Skills and Lore

Skills are anything in which PCs can be trained or learn through study. Players are encouraged to keep track of the particulars of their skills in their character sheets, someone with a similar levels in longsword for instance may be using different styles and techniques, recording these will greatly aid moderators in their job. This game uses an open ended skill system, meaning that if it's possible to think of it as a skill, it will probably be a viable skill. However, any skill dealing with magic and the supernatural should be checked with the staff before being used in character. If the skill existed in real life during the late middle ages, however, there is no reason it cannot be used in character. Articles on specific skills may exist, but will, by nature of the open ended skill system be the exception to the rule.
