Our rules are fairly simple and basic.
Rule 1: Dark Gully is a R-Rated RPG. You must be 18 or older to play the game. If you play..you are saying you are atleast 18 years of age.
Rule 2: Always obey the Hosts requests and personal rules at the time.
Rule 3: Always obey restrictions to races, professions, and sub-classes. Moding is not tolerated.
Rule 4: There is no fighting in the Tavern unless one of two things happen. The first thing that could happen that permits fighting is someone attempting to pick your characters pocket and gets caught (fails their roll). The second thing that permits fighting is a Host being present. If neither of these things have happened there are places to fight any other time so hold the hostilities till youre out the door.
Rule 5: We dont like "loud thinking". This means posting things in thought about a character that are insulting which could just as easily be said outloud. In short, when it comes to insults, if your character isnt brave enough to say it outloud...then dont have them think it where we can all see it.
Rule 6: Dark Gully is not a Flirt room. We are not named Dark_Gully-Flirt or Flirt Gully. If your purpose for playing is to meet people in real life then we would prefer you dont play. Our purpose is to provide a fun roleplaying game, not to be your Love Connection. Though...we do understand at times people do grow close.
Rule 7: Keep ooc (out of character) comments and questions off the Main Channel. Always ask a Host or other character for their help. Hosts will always be glad to assist you.
Rule 8: Some professions and races were made for the roleplaying experience only. They are not warriors and not designed to be powerful on the battlefield. Any suggestions to make those races/professions more than what they are will be denied.
Rule 8: No sexual scenes are allowed in the main channels. Players must go to their own private room for such things. Things allowed are things that are considered PG. Examples: Kissing, lap setting, whispers in the ear.
Rule 9: Dark Gully is Rated-R for language and violence but we do not allow a couple of words to be used regardless. Those words are... the bad four letter word that begins with C, usually an insult to a female and GD..unless you say Gods Damn.
Rule 10: Read over Shadowfire's AUP (Acceptable Use Policy) sometime to be familiar with their terms found at http://www.shadowfire.org/aup.htm
Rule 11: Here is a list of things which we dont have in Dark Gully... and so the characters will not have.
(1) Cigarettes. No there are no cigarettes for you to toke on while wearing your trench coat and your fancy red leather boots.
(2) Powerful New Characters. If you act like you can beat the person next to you up when you first start...then we hope you can stand to have your ego wounded. There will not be any loopholes for you to instantly be powerful. If you want to be powerful...keep playing.
(3) Trench Coats. No there are no trench coats for you to wear with your red leather boots while you toke on a cigarette.
(4) Eyeless Sockets. Every player character should have eyeballs..not just lights in sockets. If all your character has is lights in their sockets then youre a puppet for a Necromancer. Good luck with that.
(5)Animal Companions. If an animal of any kind is brought into the Tavern to lounge around and stink up the place worse than it already is..or to climb onto the lap of the patrons it will be served for dinner. Leave the "pets" outside.
