There are three main concerns I've seriously taken into consideration regarding the kingdom of the Crescent Pirates which are causing debate and problems among the kingdom. As the majority has spoken, and I have decided to take different points of views on the matter as well as agree upon things by "feeling" for myself, I have decided on some changes.
Isolation act:
The isolation act will be lifted. Though I was only told it
may be a violation of kingdoms, I am lifting the act. However, the intention will remain and so will some expectations. Basically, while IC you should only talk IC to people who are IC. That also means no "teasing" of people who talk OOC, even if they're on an RP name and tag. I've seen this before. The good RPers kind of just play along with the non-RPers. Someone says something like "u wanna trade 3 iwd's 4 ur rot plz". Then, let's say the person is a pirate, he'll say "What ye be saying? Ye must be speaking the demon's language? What be these 'rot pills'?". This kind of "teasing" (that's what I would call it...) should only be done to fellow kingdom members to help spread RPing if the members are being OOC. This also means if someone says something OOC, you should not respond IC. Example would be someone says "((Are you level 20 in wisdom yet?))".....the response should be OOC, and NOT IC. Yes, this means RP with other kingdoms as you please. But don't forget you're still a mean pirate, and anyone (on a RP name/tag) who responds to you saying "Draw yer sword or I'll have yer head on a platter!" by saying "lol" instead of "((lol))" is foe, not friend >=)
We'll continue to remain nuteral IC. Our IC behavior is somewhat isolation. Generally speaking, IC we don't want to have anything to do with any kingdom. OOC, I'd like a war :] That is, one that's well-plotted/planned....and MOY one that can be described as "Kingdom with Tec wins" or "Kingdom who has the biggest total sum of exp/'money' will win".
-OOC- in nicknames:
People have stated this shouldn't be needed. I've always agreed. If you don't want to RP at certain times, don't use the tag. Recently, there's been confusion about being on tag. I believe I cleared this up on the post the confusion was caused by. People do NOT ALWAYS have to be on tag. However, as for people who ridiculously say "You don't have to RP 24/7.", this IS true, but not in the sense they would allow/mean it. If you're on tag, you're being IC. So any OOC text that's said in-game on tag is to be parenthesis as always. This means toguilds and PM's are normally OOC. There are appropriate times to have important/real/big RPing in toguilds, but it usually doens't apply to normal things like "toguild: *walks in and looks around at all the pirates* Who be this boy that be stealing the ships?!". That would be an example of what NOT to do.
My "rudeness":
Not sure how to respond to this. I'll just state facts when enforcing the rules and just remove people who don't comply with them. I have no reason to express my frusteration for people wasting people's time by joining and not complying with the rules. As for people who come to me for help, I usually am willing to help if I can. I just don't take care for helping people who make vague or ridiculous statements such as "I don't understand this." when referring to a document which contains NO main point but MANY points. For example, it's like asking the same for this forum thread. Learn to ask for what you want and you'll be more likely to get it
Otherwise, I'll asusme you're asking for too much and tell you to do more on your behalf.
Feel free to ask for clarifications, point out confusing things, mistakes, etc. No comments please- this thread is only for helping, not for unneeded commentary.
