OOC (Out Of Character)
O.K. Rhydin is a game, but without Rules a game can not properly be played
by all. If each person participating in the game could, just on a whim, create
a rule, a phrase - there would be no hope for interaction with all. No hope
that two strangers were meaning the same thing. So here are the rules we
hope all can like, live with, honor and follow.
NO Cross Role Playing - this means do not bring knowledge from one SN to
the life of another SN. This is extremely poor sportsmanship, shows lack
of Character on the Muns part and not tolerated. If you die, for what ever
the reason DIE. Come back with fresh feelings. We know this is hard but,
for the sake of the game Do It.
This is fantasy, but Role Playing fantasy, Please live your life as if your
only chance here. Honor your misfortune in the Slave Match, Honor Match and
Death Match. Become the true Slave, lose the rights from the Honor Match,
or your Life from the Death Match if you enter them. In Real Life you would
not have the choice or the second chance,,, Play with us in the same manner.
Remember, many here are under the Legal Age (16 some states, 18 others) Lewd,
crude and/or illegal IRL is just (if not more so) as lewd, crude and/or illegal
in cyber land. Always assume one is under the legal age, and act accordingly.
ALL MEMBERS of PoRU MUST STATE IN THEIR PROFILE:
<GUILD NAME or if freelancer FREELANCER><PROFESSION>
<RANK> <DICE> PoRU
Trading, loaning, giving or gifting of Xp's is illegal, between members and/or between guilds.
At the end of this Document is a Fine Schedule which will be imposed upon
anyone who Violates the guidelines & rules of PoRU.
You gain the EXP's THEN you get the dice.

Earning Xp's
You Earn Xp's by - Sparring, SM's, HM's, RM's, AA's, Wars and in the case of the Priest(ess)/Healer by certain acts or ceremonies noted below. All must be logged. The logs MUST be turned in to your Division Commanders (or Tower Commanders, Legion Generals, or who ever the GC designates), as this is the only way to be certain of Honesty. Freelancers (those without Guild affiliation) will be informed who within the council of PoRU to send theirs to.
d90's Verification
SAVE ALL LOGS
PoRU is a forum that cares about proper recording of Xp's earned. For this
reason it is one of many forums that requires "log" verification on all power
once a member claims to reach d90. The PoRU Dice Master, once informed of
this achievement, will contact each member, requesting them to submit ALL
battle logs and other records stating why and how many Xp's were issued to
them, that comprise of this claim. The Dice Master will review each record
to assure it meets PoRU requirements for valid Xp's earnings, will then tally
all Xp's and verify the claim. Once this has been done, a certificate will
be issued and the person's name added to the PoRU website, page heading "Valid
over d90 PoRU power". If a person is NOT listed at this site, yet claims
to have d90's or over, know they are illegal, not to be recognized as allowable
power.
Rolling the dice:
Any individual caught trying to manipulate the RNG (Random Number Generator,
or "dice") in any way, shape, or form, shall be considered to be cheating
and subject to the PoRU Court System. The accepted dice commands for PoRU
are: //roll-diceX-sidesY OR //roll-sidesY-diceX where X = number of dice
to be rolled, and where Y = number of sides to be rolled. //roll-sidesY is
also acceptable when two dice are to be rolled.
definition: "extras" "SIDs"
Selfires - roll a One (1) and the damage is on yourself instead of your opponent.
(Increases there score not yours)
Instants - roll the sides mentioned in the TERMS as doubles instant win.
Doubles - roll any double and take another turn
*****NOTE*****
the Spar is the only fight/battle you can enter that has no serious side
effects. All damage taken during the fight are cured as if my magik the second
you leave the ring.
Sharing dice or sides
in all cases "sharing" of dice or sides is allowable, and recommended in
all standard Spars, Team Spars or Free For Alls. If one opponent has 4d50
and the other 2d20: the 4d could for the sake of this spar temporally lend
1 dice to the opponent. If the dice in question are 3d50 vs 2d20 there are
no sides available to "share" and the 3d50 must agree to spar with 2d. (3
- 1 = 2 so the dice would still be 2d vs 3d, just the original higher dice
holder would now only be 2d). In the "sharing" of sides the formula is: highest
side less the lower side, that figure divided by two - that is the most that
could be "shared" for the sake of this spar. ie: 50 - 20 = 30, 30 divided
by 2 = 15 they could both legally use D35.
1.) SPARRING - When you fight a spar, you receive 5x the difference in Xp's
as by how much you win by (ie: final score is 10-6 you, so you earn 20 points
4 hit win x 5 Xp's). If you lose a spar, you earn 5 points, as even though
you lost, you still LEARNED from the Experience. Now, this doesn't mean go
nuts sparring people with uneven dice. If you fight a Spar in which the two
dice and/or sides are unmatched then the spar does NOT count for points.
The maximum allowed spread for point Awards (Xp's) is: 1 dice (ie: 2d vs
3d but not 2d vs 4d) and/or 5 sides (ie: d20 vs d25, but not d26 or higher).
2.) Team Spars - This is where 4 6 8 etc get together chose sides, and the Teams battle each other. Is best to use equal dice (all use 3d30, all use 2d40 if there are enough dice/sides to share with the lower dice holders). Depending on the group size you would roll 1d50 or 1d100 for INIT. There are no Honor Strikes in the Team Spar, the INIT is strictly for the order in which one attacks. Team spars are scored differently as well. When RodgerSpud attacks opposite team member NancyLee and rolls 28 29, NancyLee now have 6 hits added to her score. Team Spars should be fought to an "out" of at least 20, but could go 30 40 50 etc., depending on the length you wish to make the spar and the sides you are using. Obviously a Team Spar with 2d50's to an out of 20 would be too quick a spar. Once a person is "out", they no longer can help their team members. The spar is over when all on one Team are "out". All remaining members of the winning team still "in" the spar share the Xp's. All who participated in the spar but "out" receive 5 Xp's. The formula for calculating the Xp's is: ((highest side used times the type of spar) times the highest number of dice)). ie: if all used 2d40 and was the Spar, 40 x 5 = 200 x 2 = 400. The Spar would be worth a total of 400 Xp's to be divided between the winners still standing ("in").
ie: if the score was: ~Harly 14 ~Gorgious out ~NancyLee out ~RodgerSpud 0
Rodger and Harly each receive 200 Xp's Gorgious and Nancy 5 Xp's
3.) Free For All's - This is when you have 3 5 7 etc and no teams, each battles
all the others, and there can be only One victor. Again is best when all
use the same dice as in the Team Spar. Scoring and point calculation is the
same. The last one left standing (still "in") receives all the Xp's, all
others receive 5 Xp's each.
***** Note - Split Attacks S/A's and the 20/30/40 hit rule are not legal
in PoRU and if used in a TS or FFA,, that battle is void for PoRU Xp's
4.) Slave Match - The Xp's earned from SM's are 10x the victors point spread
(win by 4, get 40 points). Along with a new slave. The Terms of the SM must
state the period of time the loser is to be slave. However this period of
time Must be no less than 72 hrs. IRL. The loser Must list in their profile
that they are "slave to (full SN of winner)" and the date they are once again
to be free. If the SM is for Life this must be stated in the Profile as well.
If the slave is to remain in service for more than 72 IRL Hours, then after
the 72 hours are served a RM may be fought to free them. It is required,
if a SM is fought for life, there must be at least one witness, a proctor
must be used and it must be fought in the PR.
Once a slave, you have no status, no honor, nothing. The ONLY fight you may
participate in is the standard spar, no SM, no RM, no HM, no DM. There are
NO terms that will modify this rule. If you are foolish enough to enter into
the Slave Match, then you will become the Slave. Period.
5.) Release Match - The Xp's earned from the RM are 15x the victors point
spread (win by 4 get 60 points). The Terms of the RM must clearly state who
the RM be for and what the loser faces. Proof of ownership must accompany
the RM log for the Xp's to be issued. (ie: the log of the original SM of
the slave or slaves you fight to free). If the loser faces Life enslavement,
there must be at least one witness, a proctor must be used and it must be
fought in the PR.
6.) Honor Match - The Xp's earned from the HM are 20x the victors point spread
(win by 4 get 80 points). HMs are for just that Honor. They are for the
restoration of someone's Honor, or to settle a dispute where reason fails
and a DM not warranted. The Terms must clearly state what the winner receives
and what the loser gives up. The HM must at all times be Proctored, there
must be at least one witness, and fought in the PR.
7.) Death Match - The DM is the ultimate Spar. Two men enter, one man leaves.
The Xp's earned from the DM are 25x the point spread (win by 4 get 100 points),
and the loser SN swipes (keep the SN but creates a totally different character
for it) or SN deletes (if you agree to the SN deletion you are honored bound
to do just that DELETE. Either opponent can refuse the DELETE prior to start
of the fight and re-state "no Swipe only" and that will be honored as long
as in Proctors log.) In either case the Loser loses all Xp's, rank, dice,
guild affiliations - if married that marriage now ended and all relationships
- friends family etc. are no longer. For the Sake of good RPing we ask the
Muns to live with this DO NOT CROSS ROLE PLAY. If you are foolhardy enough
to jump into a DM, then live with the consequences. All DMs must be Proctored,
must have at least two witnesses per opponent, must go for at least 10 rounds
and must be fought in the PR.
In the Terms, it must be stated whether REZZ rites be allowed (normally stated
"REZZ rites to winner"). At the end of the match, the Proctor must ask the
winner if they grant REZZ rites. There are NO AUTO REZZes in the PoRU, this
is what the Healer and Priest(ess) are for, and as explained under the heading
PRIEST(ESS) it takes a total of three to perform.
If guild dice are stated in the Terms as the dice being used. Both opponents
must be in a Viable Council, and the Dice used backed by that Council. Should
the question of Guild Dice arise, the Councils Must submit Proof of the Dice
for the DM to be considered Valid. Proof would be considered at least 3 prior
rosters (or a letter of verification from the Council Chairperson) from the
guild in which the opponent used their dice, provided by the Council or Guild
in question. For This Councils rules to have mandate over the DM the member
must state IN THE PROCTORS DM log that they be of the PoRU council and follows
there rules.
***** Important: DM logs must be sent to the Board Member of PoRU designated
________, for review. The loser of the DM is required to add to their Profile
"GHOST" till the official word comes down on whether the DM followed PoRU
rules (providing you remembered to state for the Proctors log: "I follow
the PoRU rules"). The "ghost" can not interact with anyone until a determination
has been made that the DM is valid or not. If the decision is - the DM is
valid you must honor the terms of the DM. If the decision is - the DM did
not follow the rules of PoRU, it will be voided (all voided DMs will also
be reviewed by the HC and the XO before official notice given), all involved
will be notified. Both combatants, the Proctor, all witnesses and the WARDENs
(if log was sent to them). The loser removes ""ghost"" from their profile
and life resumes as if nothing had happened.
In All Spars/Battles/Fights:
Remember: if NOT in their profile NOT viable dice - always look to Profiles.
Also remember one can state anything in their profile, if in doubt do not
fight the more serious battles Unless you are prepared to pay the consequences.
Don't fight, lose and THEN cry foul. All Combantants in Proctored required
battles must remain in the room until the Proctor closes their log.
Remember: when ever using the Proctor make sure they KNOW what they do -
a Proctor is NOT just a score keeper, they see to it that all the rules of
the council in question are followed. They attempt to monitor for the cheater
and a whole lot more. It is their duty to keep the match a solemn event.
To kick out disrupters, log the event and send copies to GCs of both (or
all) guilds in question. Send copies - if the DM to the councils involved
so the Death can be registered etc. If a WARDEN train proctor they know their
job. A Proctor must be unbiased, never a family member and must be "agreed
to" by both opponents prior to battle beginning.
If you suspect the opponent of being of questionable honor, it is always
wise to request in the proctors log, that the log be sent to the WARDENS
for review.
The Proctors log is the log they start AFTER the words:
~~~~~log on~~~~~
any words agreed to prior to that are unrecorded AND need to be re-stated.
Do not let the heat of the moment trap you into false security. Your log
that may have started pages ago may NOT be honored.
Races/AAs/Wars
Races - Battle Dice
Super-Naturals - This implies that you are in fact immortal (such as God(dess),
Spirits <including wraiths, ghosts, demons, lesser gods>, angels, nymphs,
or your basic Immortal) or you are not easily killed (such as Vampires, dragons,
werewolf, minotaurs etc). If you are included in any of the above you earn
4 dice (ie: 4d20). If your parents are both supernatural but not of the same
race this will not apply to you (such as your father a god and your mother
was a vampire thus making you a half vampire/half god ie: a half breed).
The race you are must be in your profile to qualify.
Half Breeds of Super-Naturals - Any Supernatural of any Mixed blood. If this
applies to you you will have 3 dice (ie: 3d20). The race you are Must be
in your profile to qualify.
Vampires - To be a vampire, both parents must be the vampire OR one must
be sired. Once you are sired you are now a full vampire thus making you a
full super-natural rolling with 4 dice (ie: 4d20) if only one of your parents
was a vampire the other a mortal or Half Breed that would make you the half
breed rolling 3 dice (ie: 3d20). Either Vampire or sired must be in your
profile to qualify.
Even though your "race" has special traits, or abilities, you are not able to perform them unless you are registered with a guild or PoRU (if freelandes) and actively function in the profession that special trait or ability falls under. Then the rules for that profession govern.
**AAs (assassination attacks) and WAR Rules are still being written. What this means is,,
in regards to AAs there are NONE. NO form of AA will be honored against a PoRU member UNLESS that member is in another forum that allows peacetime AAs,, AND that forum AA rules are followed to the letter. A PoRU member finding themself in that situation may feel free to send the log into GaiasMyth to assure all legalities were followed. AS IN ANY DEATH,, the person should put "Ghosted" in profile until this is determined. If a PoRU member is not in any other forum or their other forum(s) do not allow PeaceTime AAs, no Assassination Attack will be recognized.
As to WARs. **note there is a difference between a mock war and total out and out war** Any Guild is free to wage war on any other guild regardless of forum. IF another forum is involved and that forum has War Rule Guidelines they must be followed. The only requirement PoRU currently requests is, a War Council meeting must be held comprising of no less than the GCs of all warring guilds and one PoRU board member. Complete and Compressive guidelines must be written up and ALL members of ALL guilds MUST be sent them. Each type of battle must be clearly defined, and the position of the loser clearly stated. ie: POW till <date> or POW till end of war. LOD's (Level Of Death) are not allowed. As in all wars, you battle the DM you DIE. REZZ rites may be granted as long as stated so in the War Councils "Rules of War", but only AFTER the war is concluded.
****** for Healer and Priest(ess) Rules and Information see separate cover*******
Recruiting
1.) Recruiting for your guild - As for the recruiting of new members, the
person who recruited the new member receives a minimum of 5 Xp's. Should
the new member be "given" Xp's from the Guild Xp's Bank (because of prior
experience elsewhere - and this is the soul discretion of the GC), the recruiter
receives 1 x's the Xp's given the new member. (ie: 100 Xp's given new member
IHearU - dice of d26, the recruiter receives 1 times 100 plus the 5 minimum
for a total of 105 Xp's). Guild Commander may also give rewards for recruiting
Example: a recruiting week where a 50 Xp's bonus is given for recruiting.
2.) Guild Recruiting - When you recruit a guild or person (freelander), and
bring them into the PoRU, the recruiting person earns Xp's based on the following
formula: # of members in the recruited guild x 50 = the total points earned,
The recruiter gets half, and the other half goes to the point pool of the
guild the recruiter belongs to. If the recruiter is in more than one PoRU
registered guild, they must chose One guild to share the Xp's with. If the
recruiter is a freelancer they get all of the Xps.
SN Changes - Invalid SNs
1.) Where a person changes SNs but the character remains the same, rank and
dice are transferred to the new SN. A letter must be sent to the Guild/Grand
commander.
2.) When an SN goes invalid (non AOL member) for a length of time, their
name must be removed from the roster. Their earned Xp's are transferred to
the Guild Xp's Bank. If you know you will be "cut off" from AOL for any length
of time, but plan on returning - you should write a letter to both your
Guild/Grand commander(s) and PoRU designated Board Member _______ to assure
your rank and dice are held for you.
COURT SYSTEM
Any member or Guild accused of any misconduct, (repeated TOSable actions
or language, non RPing actions in a member room, not showing proper guild
rank and dice in profile, constant use of dice unearned, to name but a few)
and if after an investigation by the designated committee, these accusations
appear valid, the member or Guild's GC will be approached with the complaint
and demanded to resolve the issue to all's satisfaction. Should this fail,
the member or Guild's GC (representing the guilds entire membership) will
be required to participate in a Trial by Jury. Contact your GC or any Board
Member of PoRU for details on the procedures and possible fines/penalties.
PoRU Executioners:
The executioners job would only come into play when the Court System has
already voted on the punishment for a character, and that character refuses
to obey the Courts ruling. If the defendant is ordered to a DM by an executioner,
they can not refuse. To do so is considered an immediate loss for them (death
by DM). The Terms of the Executioner DM is: SN deletion for the loser. (the
Executioner takes their position with this agreement, therefore is a term
that the defendant must agree to). Period. No REZZ rites. PoRU Guild dice.
To 15 rounds. As it is a PoRU attempt at an execution, PoRU rules will be
in effect. All other rules for the standard DM will be in affect.
Fine Schedule for the PoRU (in Xp's)
Fighting a Mis-Matched Spar = (Where one person's dice, are higher than the 5 point limit): Invalidation of Spar.
Fighting an SM where Loser is not the True Slave = 200 Xp's each participant in the Match.
Fighting an HM where True Honor not an issue, (ridicules Terms just to get the XP's of the HM) = 3000 Xp's
Insubordination to a Superior Officer of PoRU = 3000 Xp's
Disrespect to the President of PoRU = Outlaw Status and/or a fine, at the discretion of the President.
unauthorized MASS Mailings = 10,000 Xp's to the one starting them,, and any subsequent non informative replies ((ie: stop replying to all,,,,, ie: i dont care,,,,, ie: ::grins:: ,,,,, etc))
