It is expected that you make sure you read and understand the rules before playing. Here I will list all the rules of this RPG, however note that as the Head Administer I can change the rules as I see fit. To make things easier here is a table of contents.
1) General
2) Characters Profiles
3) Buying Units
4) Making Units
5) Combat and RPing
6) Traveling
7) Territories and Their Worth
1) General
This section will address the rules in general. Racism and Sexual Harassment, both, will not be tolerated. If you feel as if someone has done ether to you, or anyone for that matter, PM or IM me, my AIM is in my profile. Spamming will also be looked down upon. You are allowed to post in the same topic once or twice, but anymore and you may get into trouble for spamming, unless there is a good reason for it. You may only post in the RPG Boards if you are playing in the RPG, however General Boards are open. As far as cursing goes, curse all you like, when role playing if cursing is what your character dose then have fun. You may not change sides without talking to me first. You may not have pics in your sig, They take up to much room, sorry. Last, but not least, in the General Board if a thread gets to the 2nd page leave it there. I do not want people bring up old threads.
2) Character Profiles
Ok, now Im sure you want to get started so here is how you make your character. First off you need to pick if you will be fighting for the Principality of Zeon or the Earth Federation. Your Chara profile must consist of:
Name: (Must be a full name, you cant just have a first name)
Age: (Your Char's age)
Birthplace: (Where your Char's was born)
Rank: (Your starting rank is up to your faction leaders. Let it also be noted that only faction leaders can up your rank)
Physical appearance: (Describe what your Chara looks like, or if you have an Image then post it)
Bio: (Your Chara's background. I dont want any, "background unknown" BS. If you don't want other people to know your background then put that no one knows it, but it still must be typed out. Another thing, make sure that your Bio matches up with the UC timeline. If you have your person pilot their first MS on earth in 0076 I will make you re do your profile, because, guess what? There were no mobile suits on earth in 0076. Another thing I have seen is a lot of people love to have there parents dead. Thats fine just dont put "Killed by a Zeon attack in 0078," because, guess what? Zeon did not invade until March of 0079.
Now, as far as making your Chara a Newtype. You must ask me first. Note, The better and more detail you go into in your profile, the more likely I am to respect you as an experienced RPer.
3) Buying Units
To buy mobile suits and units for your MS Force you will have to wait for your faction leader to give you the money to buy some. You see each faction gets a pay check and the faction leader divides the pay check out as they see fit. The faction leader must post the money you get in your profile, if not you have not been given any. If I see that the faction leader is keeping all the money for themselves, they may find that they are not the faction leader anymore. Once you get your money go to the Mecha section for your faction. No, you may not buy from the other side. Buy the things you need then post what you bought, and how much money you have left in your profile. You may now use these units in combat.
4) Making Units
To make your own units talk to me about it. I will allow most units to be upgrade, but few will I let be made from scratch. Once you have one made, it will be put in the research area of your faction and you may buy it from there as you would another unit. (If you absolutely insist on having your own 100% custom unit made then make sure you read the MS Creation Guide)
5) Combat and RPing
When fighting in battle, or just walking around your base, you will need to distinguish what YOU are saying, what your chara is saying, and what your chara is doing. When talking as your Chara you will need to put " "s around what they have said. Example: "Im going to kill you Zeon Scum!"
For actions you will need to put * *s around whatever your chara is doing. Example: *The Zaku II aims and fires at the GM Sniper Custom*
When you are talking out of character you will need to post in (( ))s. Example: ((Hey is your Zaku II using a bazooka or a machine gun?))
You will also NEED to separate actions, in game convo, and out of game convo to keep things readable.
As far as taking damage, you will decide your own damage, dont abuse it, if you do, you will have to rewrite it. If you consistently take unfair damage I will fix the problem by writing damage for you. If someone posts an attack in a territory and no one replies after 48 hours you can call hits, but they must be fair, if not they will not count and you will have wasted your free hits. DO NOT God mod. Example of God moding: *Gundam fires 25 shots hitting evey enemy in sight,then cuts the Gallop in two* A Unit can only use one weapon to fire at one thing per turn, unless it is a rapid fire weapon. When attacking you must first post your units arrival, then in the next post you may perform actions (Chara dialog is not included.) If Minovsky particles have been spred you cannot send messages from or to an area with Minovsky particles.
Also, make sure you are specific about which way your unit is facing or how it is posed or what not. If you fail to specify in what way it is positioned common sense will apply and people will post their respond accordingly.
6) Traveling
To get from one place to another you have to post that you are leaving the place your in and post that you are crossing through the place you would need to go through to get there. All posts must be in the right place. If you fail to do this correctly your arrival will not count. You also have to post out of Chara in the battle are that you are headed to (assuming you are headed to one), that you are on your way there and then wait one battle turn for every territory you pass through before you can get to the area you are headed for.
7) Territories and their Worth
There are two kinds of area's that can be held. Territories and Major Territories. Major Territories are made up of Territories. If you have all the Territories to a Major Territory then you get the money for the Major Territory as well as for the Territories. A lot like Monopoly to some extent. All Major Territories are worth 5k and all Territories are worth 3k.
