All Storylines and Characters on this site are for the express purpose of Fantasy Role-playing and in no way are intended to reflect current organizations or affiliations. The information on this site is kept with much of a fictional base. Owners are not liable for crossing, coincidences, and discussions taken off site concerning the characters and players here. Likewise, if you have a complaint concerning Moderators, Guides, or Owners please copy and paste the scene or chat and send it to kitalakat@hotmail.com. They are all adults and will be dealt with as such.

Character Rules:

Characters approved for play on any part of Electricring.com are to be used expressly for this site. Scenes and storylines taken off site will not count towards experience gathered here. Coinciding playing of one character on Electricring.com with any other 'By Night'-style site, will result in the character being denied and pulled from play.

 

Abominations, ghouled mage, infernalists, transformed vampire-'Mortale Spiritus', and any other cross-system creations will not be allowed on site unless express written approval is given by an Owner for Storyline purposes. Although they can happen in play, the possible power of such characters needs to be monitored.

 

Play testing is to be approved through a staff member of that system only after a character sheet has been sent into them. No play testing or trying scenes will be allowed without staff approval, period. Once approved, Play testing can only be allowed for a period of One Week (7 Days) before the character needs to be approved or pulled from the site. During play testing, characters are not allowed the use of combat, disciplines, gifts, spheres or other supernatural abilities (Please note that this time limit for play testing does not apply while the site is under construction.)

 

Out Of Character information and In Character information should be kept separated at all times. Players found repeatedly using information gleaned out of character for storyline and role-playing information will be warned, then the character will be auto-killed and player is subject to be banned for repeated offenses to this rule. Please act responsibly.

Chat Rules:

Electricring.com , although a site and game with high adult themes, is not a site to use for cybering or sexual relations out of character. Personal role-plays of this nature, and relationships between players are asked to be kept off site, and players engaging in such actions, in a chat room will be reprimanded, then banned from all the role-playing sites on Electricring.com

 

To create a chat account, use the register button in the chat section of the website. Once your account is created, it will be temporarily playable for 45 days. If you have not created a character or played in that time, the account will expire, and be deleted. Once you have a playable character, your system guide, or the owner can make your account permanent.

 

Please remember that anything said or played in the chat program, is readable to the owner. The chat program creates a log that is often viewed. A good rule of thumb is if you do not want others reading it, do not post it in chat.

Forum Rules:

Once you create a forum account, using the login button or membership button, it will not be usable until it is approved. Please send an email to kitalakat@hotmail.com with your character name and forum name and email and it can be approved for you. Unfortunately this measure is necessary to block Spam, and unwanted posts.

The forums are there for site information and in character ideas or stories. Those posts that are used for personal arguments, lewd, pornographic, sexually debasing, or racist commentary will be deleted immediately, and the post creator reprimanded or banned. Please use common sense when posting in the forums.

Banning:

On Electricring.com, arguing extensively with the owner or staff will NOT be tolerated. If you have a difference of opinion however, then voice the difference if needed in pm's, or privately with the person in the disagreement; be polite about it, and don't get into an arguing match. The same rules apply to staff on site, when dealing with players. If you have a problem with staff or another player, feel free to bring the problem to the owner. These role-playing settings are for enjoyment, and no one can do that with fighting within.

First Warning- Is just as it says. One warning will be given on all occasions. If that warning is ignored then further action will be taken.

Second Warning- A second warning is given to make sure that the parties arguing, or disrespecting the rules know, and understand they are in the wrong. If the second warning is ignored or the action is repeated, then step three WILL be taken.

BAN - If all previous attempts to correct the problem have been taken, and ignored or repeated, then this last step is taken. I do not take joy in this last step, but cannot afford for this site to be ruined with those ignorant to others. The first Ban will be for 2 months. If at that time, the action continues, then I will keep the ban permanent. Be it a staff member, or player, I will not make a distinction when it comes to the rules.

Some reasons for Banning on Electricring.com

• Continuing to play characters never submitted or not approved against permission.
• Forcing someone into rp situations they refuse, or are uncomfortable playing out.
• Fraudulent statistic playing (I played a 5 in dexterity when I really only have a 3 on my sheet)
• Use of OOC information In Character.
• Harassment or repugnant behavior towards players or staff.

Moderators and Rules

Selection - Be cautious of your selection of a Moderator. Please choose one that has working knowledge of the systems, including setting changes, and who is impartial to all parties involved. All guides and the owner are encouraged to post a list of choice moderators who are knowledgeable in their systems either on their pages, or in their ooc forum.

Decision - Once you decide on a moderator, he or she owns the scene and runs it to its conclusion. All decisions are final and non-reclusive. The only way to gain a second opinion on a scene that has been played and the moderator chosen is to discuss it with the owner. Please be careful and impartial when choosing your moderator. Because that is it, you choose.

Rules - Rules for Electricring.com follow most modern combat rules in revised books: Star wars revised, vampire third, Werewolf third, Werewolf Wild West, Mage revised, wraith second edition and so forth. Adjustments to the rules and combat will be posted when applying, into the individual system or site pages. If you are not familiar with the combat rules, that is fine... that is what the Guide is there to consult with. Not everyone can afford the books, we know this.. its easy to learn.

Restricted and Disallowed things on Site

Merits and Flaws: NOTE: All merits and flaws should follow third edition or revised books. Those merits and flaws outside of the core books "i.e.. in the clan books only, or the tribe books" cannot be approved without prior approval from the storyteller of that system.

There are lists of what merit and flaws are restricted or banned, in each system creation rules. Please adhere to them

Weapons and Demolitions:

A general rule of thumb is that if the weapon would take you effort and coercion to get in real life, then it would be equally hard to get that weapon on any of the Electricring.com sites. For specialized weaponry please inform your storyteller, or for questions and plans you can consult the Mundane Guide as well.

Demolitions and heavy motorized vehicles of an armed services branch and the like need to be approved through the Mundane Guide; as they are highly restricted to player's characters depending on their contacts and influences.
