Rules and Regulations
The Game
This is where we have the discussion of the rules and regulations about this game. The Fall Inne is a chat-based RPG, with the program of choice being AOL Instant Messenger, so if you’re interested in joining us please see about aquiring that program.
The Warnings
First and foremost, this is a game. We want to have fun and we want you to have fun. The moderators are not here to ruin your fun, or to have fun at your expense. We are here to oversee things and make sure everyone is having a good time. If there is a problem, bring it to our attention. If you feel that one of the mods is being unfair it is okay to ask one of the other mods to mediate a discussion and everyone will try to reach an amicable conclusion. Because, and we can’t stress this enough we want everyone to have fun.
Also, the standard RPG warning, This is A GAME, not Real Life, so please try not to confuse the two. Real Life always takes precedence over a game.
Secondly, this is a Yaoi RPG. There will be going-ons that are not for the faint of heart. For those of you not familiar with the term, yaoi is a particular flavor of slash fanfictions. It is a sub-genre of anime/manga writing. Slash in general involves someone, somewhere, having sex with somebody. Yaoi is specifically boy/boy pairings. So if the idea of boys hugging, kissing, necking, and, Gods yes, having sex offends you in any way, please turn back now. We don’t want people to be uncomfortable here, we are an open-minded group and welcome anyone. We will not tolerate individuals who feel the need to rant/rave/cuss/holler or any other form of insult the actions or content of this game. This is participation by will, if you don’t have the will, don’t insult those of use who do, we are happy in our hobby and your insults are not likely to change that.
Thirdly and most importantly, even moreso than the fact that this is just a game. We are not about to get any jail time or fines for the corruption of minors so you have to be eighteen to play/watch/lurk or whatever in the chat. We realize that we can't exactly verify this, though. So, we're trusting you. If you're mature enough to be in this game, that's fine, you can stay, we don't have an issue with that. But, if we ever have reason to question your age, you will be asked to submit proof of age to one of us.
Character Applications
For individuals who have been accepted among the Fallen Angels they are welcome to petition for a character to play in the game.
Things to keep in mind when choosing a character:
Know your canon. Whatever anime, manga, or with special exceptions, book you wish to take a character from make sure you understand his motivations, his thinking, how he interacts with others, his background and goals as far as can be determined.
Keep your character In Character (IC). It might sound easy, but it can be quite difficult. If you know your canon then you will know what your character would be willing to do and what it would require to change their minds and try something different. Don’t force your character into something that he wouldn’t do normally just because you want to see him do it.
Know the game. We want you to feel comfortable with the game and what plots are going on there. You are required to read the last 5-10 logs so that you’ll be up to date on what other players are doing. We recommend that you read the first few logs too, just to see how characters initially reacted to the Inne.
Survive a test run. Once you have petitioned for a character and had your petition accepted, one of the mods will take you for a test run to see if you’ve adhered to the above statements. If, on review of the test run we find that you meet the above requirements you will be allowed to join the game proper. The test run will also be put into use as your character's IC knowledge if and when you are accepted as a player, so it's not just a waste of time.
Well, there you have it. If you still think you'd like to join us, that's wonderful. Please head over to the Contact page and see about getting yourself insinuated as a guest at the Fall.
