The official decisions are in:
Time Jump:
Two months. Not so much that peoples chars should be affected (I hope!), but enough to wrap up after the war and people to calm down/have healed from physical and mental wounds, even if just partially. No ones chars will hopefully be laid up after, and adjustments can more easily be made post-war.
Character Adjustments:[/u]
Guidelines:
- Everyone is allowed to make adjustments to their characters, omitting things in their personal history, adding things, changing siblings, cousins, even last names. However, the rules of the board still apply, as well as a few additional to this unique situation as we prepare to transition from Proboards to our own .com.
Rules:
1. If a change affects another player/character, ask them if they mind you change it. We highly encourage everyone to be flexible and keep others in the forefront of their mind, however there are some situations where changing things drastically alters another players character, and we too have to be thoughtful/mindful of that. It's a give-take relationship, with much emphasis on giving.
2. If a change affects the country, such as wanting your adept to have the offspring of the ruler of another country, or some other high-standing official, if it has to do with a canon house or anything else major, then play it safe and ask Niky or Carol for permission. It'll save time, energy and strife in the long haul.
3. Keep the community spirit!
Remember that as this has never been done before, there are bound to be circumstances that we haven't foreseen, and rules may be added/adjusted accordingly. If there is a problem, try to work it out between yourselves, but in the event a stalemate is reached and neither party is happy, feel free to bring it to a staffer.
To address a few questions about it:
- Ressurections are allowed, following the same rules as character changes
- Deaths are allowed - this is a personal choice and others may not veto a players right to kill off a character. You do not have to RP this out.
- Children birthed and/or taken away (pretending it never happened) is allowed (both parents of the children born/taken away must be in agreement)
- Name changes are allowed, following the same rules as affecting others, and canon houses are not allowed to be taken on without Managements permission.
We will make a thread with official and PC char changes on the new site, so everyone is well-informed as to it.
Hopefully these things can help bring a more fun, exciting and fresh board!
