* The Tyran's Cove Role Playing Game Campaign is a RPG on Talk City chat service. Because this is an RPG on Talk City, the Talk City rules MUST be followed. Failure to follow the rules of Talk City may result in our RPG rooms being shut down. Those who fail to follow Talk City's rules will be unable to participate in the Tyran's Cove RPG. Please visit the Talk City Standards page for more detail on the rules of Talk City: Talk City Standards .
* OOC (Out of Character) and IC (In Character): OOC and IC is defined as the seperation between the player at the keyboard and the character being played. OOC and IC should and MUST remain seperate at ALL times if you are to participate in the Tyran's Cove RPG. We ask that OOC discussions be kept out of the RPG rooms. Please take any OOC discussions to whisper or one of the OOC rooms in Tyran's Cove. If you MUST step OOC in a RPG room then please state you are OOC at the beginning of all of your statments. When returning to your character, please state you are now back IC. In NO WAY, SHAPE, or FORM should OOC play a role in the role play of the game. Killing or attacking another character for OOC reasons will NOT be tollerated and may result in banishment from the game depending on how severe the crime. OOC and IC should NOT and WILL NOT mix in any way.
* Attacking and/or killing for no reason is UNACCEPTABLE in the Tyran's Cove RPG. A character MUST have a reasonable reason to attack another character. Attacking a character because you dont like their nic, because of OOC reasons, because you are bored, or because they just annoy you are examples of reasons NOT to kill. Killing to avenge the death of a loved one and other SERIOUS reasons such as that are REASONABLE reasons to attack and/or kill another character. There is a fine line between killing without a cause and killing with cause. Killing without cause can result in punishment of the character depending on how severe the crime. Punishment can include anything from lowered hit points to banishment of that character from the game.
* KOS means "Kill on Sight" in the Tyran's Cove RPG. A KOS is used when a character does something very uncalled for while staying within the rules of the game. Lets say a character kills an innocent child, a KOS can be placed on the Killer. A KOS is a request to everyone in the game. A KOS asks the characters to kill this certain individual should they find him/her. There MUST be a good reason for placing a KOS on someone. Placing a KOS on someone because they annoy you or for OOC reasons are two examples of UNREASONABLE reasons to place a KOS on someone. Placing a KOS on someone because they attack a clan member or killed someone innocent are examples of reasons to put a KOS on someone. A KOS can ONLY be placed on someone by a Lord, Lady, or God (Those being the highest ranks in the game by role play standards). If a KOS is needed, you must speak with one who holds one of the above ranks. A KOS MUST be posted in the proper posting section for it to be legal. A KOS stands until the person who placed the KOS lifts it or until the person who is on KOS is killed.
* Character Seperation is defined as the seperation of two or more characters played by the same player. This means that if a player has two or more characters in the game, neither character knows what the other character knows. They are played as if they are two different people...BECAUSE THEY ARE. Failure to character seperate may lead to the automatic death of his or her both nics.
* Doubling nics in the Tyran's Cove RPG is allowed. What this means is that a player CAN have more than one nic in the game. Wether or not a player is allowed to have more than one ic in more than on e clan is left up to the individual clans.
* Cloning nics is NOT allowed in this RPG Campaign. Cloning nics is to be considered a crime against the game. Punishment may result in lowered hit points for a certain period of time to banishment from the game. Cloning nics demonstrates a player's INABILITY to role play and lack of RESPECT for his or her fellow players.
* Clan recruiting is PROHIBITED in this Role Playing Game. That means that under NO circumstances can one clan recruit members from another clan. If a clan is caught doing this, punishment will be passed down on that clan. This rule applys to BOTH recognized and non-recognized clans.
* No clan may use the same symbols of an already established clan, recognized or not. If this happens, the clan who has copied the symbols of another will be asked to change them before they are able to become a recognized clan.
* No ONE person rules over this game. The rules of the game are made by the SHC (Supreme High Council) and enforced by the DMs (Dungeon Masters). This the PEOPLE's game. The rules of this game WILL be ENFORCED. Failure to follow the rules of Tyran will result in you being unable to take part in role play.
