1.) Respect for your staff and fellow players. In other words, please treat people with the same courtesy and dignity that you’d like to be treated with. We don’t expect everyone to become BFFs, but let’s keep it pleasant!
2.) No God-Moding. Characters are as human as their players here! Failure, heartbreak and barriers will occur. Players who violate this will receive one warning. If the player persists in this behavior after that warning, they will be asked to leave and their character placed up for adoption.
3.) Communication is a must. If you need a break, or you are having issues, then please let us know. If you are having difficulties with another player, please discuss it privately with them and try to resolve it for the good of everyone here.
Addendum: Any and all plot/story questions should be directed to the Staff via private message, email or if one is available in the cbox, please ask questions there. This also applies to story ideas, concerns, requests for assistance and so on. We always welcome interaction with our players!
4.) Players should be 13+ per PB requirements. Since there are adult topics in play, we would prefer to keep our participants mature.
5.) Don’t cross the IC/OOC Line - What you know may not be what your character knows. What one character knows, another may not know. Please remember you are not your character!
6.) Please check your tiara and sash at the door. If you bring unnecessary drama to this site, then we will warn you once. If you persist, you will be placed on a probationary period. Third strike, you’re out. Certain extreme behaviors may constitute automatic dismissal.
7.) All new players will have to apply for a character within an already established house for their first character. Original characters that are not created within the plotlines or from the family trees will not be accepted.
8.) Vassal/new houses may not be established without staff approval. To qualify for a vassal house, a player must have at least 75 posts (across all characters) or be consistently active over two months.
9.) Please be aware of our activity rules:
- Standard Characters should have at least three posts per month minimum.
- Head of House/Council Members should have at least seven posts per month minimum.
- Royal Family/Royal Household should have at least ten posts per month minimum.
- Failure to meet these expectations will result in one warning; players who are unable to meet these expectations for a second month will be placed on Inactive status and their characters opened for adoption.
- If a player does not post for a character within a month's time without communicating with the staff or posting an away, they will automatically lose that character and it will be opened for adoption.
- There is no limit on the number of characters you can play, but please do not take on more characters than you can handle!
10.) Players are encouraged to be creative in their submissions, and we welcome their additions to the game. However, players should remain aware that if they leave the game for whatever reason, their contributions to Archades will remain with Archades. We will not delete posts, characters or Houses, or significantly alter them.
11.) Playing an adoptable character is a privilege, not a right. If a player persistently fails to write a character in accordance with the creator's description after two separate discussions to resolve the matter and the failure is clearly documented over at least five separate threads, the creator may request the return of the character. The creator must produce evidence that efforts have been made to correct the problems and an appropriate amount of time has been allowed for correction. The staff will review the evidence and if warranted, return the character to the creator.
