(These rules apply to everyone including the Ops)

If you abide by the rules there will not be any problems, but for those that think there
above the rules we will not Put up with you.

*If you do not abide by the rules or what the ops enforce*

There is three warnings before you are kicked. We will warn you three times,if you still do not abide but what we ask, you will be kicked. If you return and continue with the same thing, You will be kicked without warning and placed on a temp ban. If you then return and continue again then you shall be placed on a perm ban. You will be notified when you
may return back to the role playing room.

All players do not have to role play within a certain story line if they do not wish to. If someone should challenge you to a fight and you turn it down. PLEASE have a good reason for doing so. You will not be forced to fight. Though if someone challenges you, you block and attack back then you shall continue the fight out. If you do not continue the fight out, your forfeit not only the fight but your character will be ruled as dead. There is a **Ten Minute Rule** Meaning if you do not respond back within ten minutes with a counter to the attack or with a fight move. You also forfeit not only the fight but your character will be rules as dead. This doesn’t mean if you had to leave the computer for a reason. PLEASE state you will BRB (Be Right Back) so the fight can be placed on hold. If you do not wish to be within a fight, Please state your reason clearly to an OP who is present at the time and Also to the person who challenges you to a fight.

If there is a problem with a RP fight. Please save the log of the fight and send it to an op. That’s what we are here For! to judge and rule fairly. NO ops will take a side nor show favoritism. Instead of arguing the fight out, as I said save the log and send it to a Op. They will review the log and make the best judgment possible on the fight.

If for some odd reason you need to speak OOC within the room for a very short period of time. Please Use brackets () * {} [] or OOC which means Out Of Character. So the players within the room are not confused by actions or comments that should be made out of character and not IC (meaning In Character) Please respect the other role players in the room and keep the OOC to a min. If you need to speak OOC for a long period of time, Take it to Blazing_Dagger-OOC a room set up for strictly Out Of Character talk.

We will not put up with people taking IC problems to OOC or taking OOC problems to IC. If you disagree with someone do not flood the role playing room with OOCs, Take it to whisper if its a problem between two people if you do not wish to take it to whisper then take it to the OOC room that has been created for such.

Please do not advertise for other channels, RPGs, networks, or anything else in our channels, or to our role players and staff. By the same token, BRI and ARC RPG should not be advertised on any other server, channel, or to any other group.

Abuse of Power - OP-in a room is a privilege, and a responsibility. OP rights should not be used to think yourself above others, or feel that you have "control" or "power". They should be used responsibly to maintain the channel properly, and deal with hostile, disruptive, crude people who are in opposition to the purpose of the channel.

The room is stated to be a mature in nature Role Play room. Tho please keep the cussing to a minimum. People do become offended with the constant cursing and battery.

Fighting Rules

If you wish to Role Play fight within Blazing Dagger, State your actions clearly and with detail so people understand the attacks and blocks.

What is not expectable

(example 1) Fighter One: Jabs out with his sword to slice

It should be
Fighter One: Jabs his/her sword blade outwards at :Fighter Two: Attempting to Slice/Cut at the right of there mid section.

As I said please state your actions clearly. State from which hand your sword (weapon) is at and to where you are blocking or stabbing at. This way there is no confusion between both parties involved.

Within your fighting action/blocking action. There will be a limit on three hits and one block within one action. Ifyour action is longer then your mirc/chat program will allow please cut the action by placing <cont> at the end of the first action and <cont> to continue with the same action.

If you need to speak OOC within a fight, Please do so clearly by using brackets. If you do not use the brackets and make a comment after the person attacks you and the next thing you say is not a block, it WILL be considered a hit. If it where a mistake you made a comment or OOC comment and forgot to use the brackets PLEASE say so quickly.

Please do not phase or teleport within a fight. If you do so it should be agreed on by both parties and let a op know so they do not rule unfairly when it was agreed upon by both parties.

If The chat room is very full or busy PLEASE take all role play fighting to another room. A room will be set up #Blazing_Dagger-Battle for fights when Role Play room is busy with other role plays. This will help so no mistakes are made within a fight, as your trying to watch the actions and the room is going faster then what you maybe able to read.

Sparring - Is not a fight it is a practice, People can not be hurt within a spar unless you wish to take the hit. Thatis totally up to those within the spar.

No God Moding! No Autos! No Power Gaming!

Autos - Autos are when you make a attack either with a weapons, sword or hand to hand and state it can notbe blocked. EVERY move can be blocked. If its stated it can not be block that’s rubbish. If a person doesn’t understand the attack or move please explain it to them and help them.

Godmoding - Is when a character says the can not be killed. EVERY character can be killed. There is no true Immortality when it comes to Role Play Fights. This includes all: Vampires, Demons, Elves, etc, etc: No character can withstand all attacks. All characters have there strengths and weaknesses.

Power Gaming - This term refers to people who play invincible, unbeatable, all-powerful characters. Every good character has strengths and weaknesses. This issue comes mostly into play with combat, but can also be applied to the raving, voluptuous beauties and strong, handsome, seven foot tall warriors that seem to make up the majority of the population of most fantasy realms.

We allow Magic to be used within the tavern for role playing purposes or for fighting. There are rules we wish for you to abide by so all goes smoothly.

Magic can be rather tricky due to the fact there are so many different spells and different magic one may use. Not everyone is going to understand the magic you may use. If magic is used within a fight and someone doesn’t understand the form your using or how to block it. Do not be ignorant and ignore the person if they ask for help. If the person asks you how to block or at least to explain there attack better please Help them. If the person is killed because they did not understand the magical attack and come to you for help and you disregard them they will not be ruled as dead. This doesn’t take away from the surprise of magical attacks, this only helps the person so there not confused and it also helps them to understand within the future as well.
