1. General rules

  • Keep swearing to a bare minimum: It's off putting and there may be minors viewing the board


  • Warnings for Sexually explicit material: if your post is going to contain such materials then please put a warning in the topic. Yet again there may be minors viewing the board.


  • No one liners: Please put detail into your posts, there's no hurry since it is a message board not a chat...so take your time when writing a post.


  • No killing PCs without prior consent: Please dont' kill someone unless you have both agreed on it. Killing NPCs is ok but try to be realistic and don't kill NPCs at every opportunity otherwise you'll be put on the Most Wanted list. If you do plan to kill off your character or agree with someone else to kill their character, then please make the events leading up to their demise as descriptive as possible.


  • Limit OOC talk: I know it's impossible to exlude OOC talk completely, so please only talk OOC if it's absolutely necessary. Also, dont bring OOC issues IC, so if you have a grudge against someone OOC, don't automatically hate them IC and don't attack them constantly or start fights with them.


  • No God Moding: You are not invincible, so don't take on impossible odds and then come out champion. You will get hurt eventually, unless you are really really careful, so don't act as if you are the best and can't be beaten. It is annoying and you won't make many friends.


  • Know when to be serious: It's ok to be silly sometimes, but this isn't kindergarten or some cartoon. Try to be serious as well. I'm not saying be serious all the time, it is ok to joke around, but you need to know when to be serious.


  • You are only one person: You cannot be in more than one place at a time. This also means you must post in the "Jump Gate" forum if you wish to go to another system, there is no exclusion. If you do not then you are still considered to be in the system.
  • Enjoy yourself!: People I cannot stress this enough. This isn't Stalin's Russia, you're free to have fun! Now read on then sign up! :D




  • Mechanized Games
    Ahh the MG (Mechanized Games), the rules for this is simple. You and another mech pilot (unless it is a special match with multiple pilots) duke it out in your metal warlords, the first to fall or surrender is the loser. When a tournament starts, an admin or moderator will put up a list of the planets that the tournament will be played upon and in which order, they will then put how many positions are open. Competitors will then have two weeks to apply, any positions that are still open will be filled with random NPCs. The admin/mod will then post a list of the competitors, who's fighting who first and where they will be fighting. The admin/mod will then post the intro for the match on the corresponding planet. The admin/mod or another admin/mod will act as referee for the battle. The two competitors then fight, which is simply the two competitors fighting as follows (the following is an extremely crude example not including the intro).

    Player1: Joe Bloggs sets his machine into a sprint, hoping to circle around the opponent and strike at their back, firing his gatling arm cannon at the enemy as he moves.

    Player2: He is caught off guard briefly as the bullets ricocheted off his hull scratching the paint work and smashing deep divots into the armor. He then activates his boosters, flying into the air and landing closer to the opponent, pushing his gatling cannon out of the way and swinging his arm for their head.


    As you can see you cannot confirm a hit on an opponent, they must confirm it themselves. This is usually where God Moding shows it's ugly head. So the admin/mod will make sure an opponent isn't dodging all of the attacks. This also means that you have to realise that your ability is limited, as you RP you may learn and acquire new skills/tactics, but you cannot be an ace straight away unless you are an admin/mod.

    We may include more games for other things, but for now this is the only sport.
