Welcome to Ancient Europe!
If you join this RPG-forum and role-play with other members, you will have to follow the rules listed in this thread, as well as the "Battle Rules".
If you do not follow these rules, you will receive a warning by a member of the staff, and you will have to take the consequences of what mistake you have done.
General Rules
1. Joining: If you join as a member of this forum, please make sure that you take a name proper for an Antiquity-Character. As well, before posting in the role-play section, please fill out the formula about your character's history and profile, it is set in the "Introduce Yourself" board, in "Your History".
2. Activity: If you join this forum, try and stay as active as you can, preferably get online once per day. If you are leaving for a couple of days and won't be able to get online, please inform us, make a thread about it in the "Your Life" board.
3. Spelling and Grammar: Please try and spell the words in your posts correctly, and try to write in good grammar, so that the members who read your posts will understand what you meant. If you have problems with spelling, please use the "Spell Check" button when you reply.
4. Posting: Each role-play post has to be the minimum length of three sentences. If you have problems with writing more, describe the environment, the surroundings of your character, the feelings, thoughts and speeches of the character. With a bit of training it is not difficult to write more than three sentences. But if you write less than three sentences, you will recieve a pm of one of the staff, reminding you to write more or your post will be deleted without warning.
Do not double-post in a thread where other people are posting as well, give them the opportunity to reply. In the threads, stay on topics and please, no spamming.
5. Hacking Threads: If people are posting peacefully in a thread, you have to ask for permission so you can post together in this thread. Do not just pop up in the thread and post that you attack, you will get a warning from one of the staff otherwise.
6. Godmoding and Powerplaying: Do not godmode or powerplay in the threads.
One example for godmodding would be: "The Spartans stormed forward, killing many of the Athenans."
This is unfair, because it is up for the person who controls the elves to control his/her own numbers. But at the same time, be fair in writing about winning or losing. Refusing to take any losses or only very few losses while rping will lead to you getting a warning from the staff team to play fairly. More about winning and losing is explained in the "Battle Rules".
7. Mategaming Mategaming is a form of cheating or gaining informations in an unfair way.
One example for mategaming would be: First poster: "The Roman People moved quietly through the woods, covered by darkness." Second poster: "The Celts knew of this and sent a volley of arrows down onto the Romans."
This is an unfair way to roleplay, and would destroy the fun of this play for the first poster. The game would become boring and foreseeable, as no plan would work out. Be fair and avoid mategaming, but play your character wholeheartedly, do not pretend to know what your character cannot know.
8. Swearing: Do not swear unnecessarily in your posts, it only annoys other Members.
9. Advertising: If you want to advertise your own page in this forum, or affiliate with the forum, you have to advertise this forum on your site as well. If you haven’t done that then we won’t advertise you’re either, if you later remove us from yours then we will remove your ours as well. Be fair!
10. Images and Signatures: Do not post any images that stretch the site and so obviously are too large.
11. Threatening: We do not want any threatening or swearing at other Members on this page. If you have a problem with someone, then send a pm to this person and work it out so that it is no problem anymore. Act grown-up and respect the others, think how they would reacted to your post, and ask yourself, “How would I like to be treated?”
12. Celebrities in the signatures: To apply to reserve one celebrity to use for your character, please post in the thread 'Signature celebrities that are taken', which is placed in the Introduce yourself board.
- When a member has not been online for one month, his celebrity automatically is free for taking again.
- When a character dies and so does not return anymore, his celebrity automatically is up for taking again as well.
- When related and both members agree, one celebrity can be used by two members at the same time.
Living in Ancient Europe
Lords and Ladies / Kings and Queens
The King and Queen have full control over their country, they rule it. They have to divide their population numbers into warriors and non-warriors, and split it up to the different regions and towns in their realm (sub-boards).
According to the number of non-warriors, every three months their population will be increased (check the thread "Population"). They also can give part of their population to the rule of a Lord, Lady, steward or other commander in their country. But the King and Queen remain as main-commander over the whole army and population in their kingdom, to send the warriors to war for example.
It is also to them to make alliances with other kingdoms, or to declare war. To rule in their stead, they should choose a steward or lord to rule during their absence.
- Each ruler of a land has to make a thread about the defenses of the country.
- Each ruler of a land has to make a thread about the Population, the warriors and non-warriors of a country and update it each 3 months at least. This thread also has to include army numbers, armory, and the current location of each troop.
- Each ruler of a land has to make a thread about the History of the country.
- Each ruler of a land has to make a thread where he tells all the enemies and allies of this country.
- Each Ruler of a land has to make a thread "Throne Room", where people can come for alliance, trades or other businesses.
- Each Ruler of a land has to make threads like pubs, inns, restaurants, market places and other local places where people can come and talk to each other while they are passing by or resting for the night. The rules of markets you can find below.
Markets Rules
In each city you can buy things or weapons, whatever offered, to your character. But they cost gold. This gold you can get by posting. You can lose or earn money when you buy / sell things, or be given gold. The gold on your profile cannot be taken away from you, if you buy/lose money, you have to write your loss into your signature, and the same goes for winning money.
- The rulers of the lands decide the prices.
- The rulers of a land do not need to buy things, all things they have on the market in their own country are free for them.
