November

Winter is moving into the lands of Rhyallia. The lowlands around the bay are still enjoying foggy mornings and warm afternoons, with the trees colored by autumn.


UPDATES

My talent for updating (or lack thereof) makes me a little doubtful that I'll manage to keep this updated, but I'll try. =)

November 11, 2009
Finally sitting down and updating Identity! *Pats self on back.* The Air Skin is still under-construction, but is more or less done. What IS done, are the new boards. You can find them scattered about in all the Rhyallia boards, and all are non-city places for RPing fights or other, more unusual, meetings. If you have suggestions for additional boards that you'd like to see, please post in the Updates board. I think I'm also going to bring in some activities and prizes...so look for that. XD

October already! I can't believe how fast September went. I spent most of it sick, too. :(
Anyway, some pretty new main images for you to enjoy. Updated them and made them bigger. I think it looks a little nicer. New earth skin coming soon, and I'm going to start the air skin, which will take care of all 5 main elements. It'll also give the site a new default skin, which we need.

Congrats to EternallyAlone, who is our new forum designer! She'll be doing part of the graphics and skins and helping me to keep up-to-date on all that stuff. =)br /> ~flippedside~

Mappiness! I updated the map into what I hope is a more readable version. Also, you may see some upcoming board changes. The history thread is an ongoing thing...I made a whole board for it, though, so there won't be one ridiculously long thread. =P

Added a little more information about Rhyallia, so if you haven't checked out all the threads in the Library, you might want to. I've finally begun the history thread! I expect it will take a while for me to get a fairly complete collection of stories and information up there, but you can watch for that.
If anyone has any stories they want to write about Rhyallia's history, contact me. XD

Been working on updating some of the older skins. There should be some nice pretty new images for "Night" and "Earth" soon. I'm still running around a bit, but as soon as I'm done adjusting images, I'm going to change the default skin and then update threads...Poor Identity. *pets* I've neglected you much too long...

I bet you're all happy to see me take Identity out of MM. ;P I have one month left and then break...Still not finished, but at least the boards are set to what I want, so you can go back to RPing. Happiness! Sorry for my long absences. I'm really missing RPing, but I don't have the time (and energy) to come up with good posts...

So, no major announcements. Board is still in the process of adjustment. Sorry for the long time in MM, but I don't have much time to be on here right now. Still, it's getting there.

One account per player. You may have up to 10 characters at a time, but they should all be under ONE account.


Identity is open to all RPers of all skills. The following is a list of standard practices and is mostly a matter of common sense.


Be respectful of other players:


Accounts (and characters) may not have vulgar/distasteful names.

Keep swearing to a minimum. Do not use the “f-word.” There is no need for it.

This is a PG-13 board. Keep your posts appropriate.

If you have a disagreement and need to work something out with another member(s), do so in PMs, not in threads/posts. If you need help resolving a disagreement, contact a staff member for help. That’s what we’re here for.

If you feel you are being harassed by another player, report it the staff immediately. Harassment (including malicious ridicule of another player, abusive posts/PMs, etc.), will not be tolerated. I don’t have any patience for this and will remove you from the board.



On Posting:


There is no word limit on posts. However, RPs are usually character-driven more than story-driven, so write enough to keep it interesting. We are looking for quality posts, not quantity of words.

Keep your posts readable. Using a color that blends into the background is very annoying to try to decipher. Try not to do that.

Use good grammar in your post. No one’s going to edit your post, but it makes it much easier to read when you use good grammar and structure.

Don't reply to other player's character biographies. Only staff may reply and accept (this keeps the bios from getting cluttered and makes them easier to read).

Try not to double or triple post. If you need to fix or add something to your post, use "modify" at the top.


On Characters:


Keep your characters interesting and complex. They should be flawed but someone we can feel empathy for, as well. Don’t make anyone perfect. (If you create the “perfect” god-like character, you’ll be asked to change it.)

If you no longer want to play a character(s), they should either die or be “adopted” by someone else. If they are in a thread that you no longer want to play, role-play them leaving the scene.

Identify your character at the start of the thread (or their entrance to the thread). You can be creative, just make sure we know who they are.

Only write what your character thinks/feels/does, not what the other player’s character says or does. (In other words, no powerplaying.)

Please place everything your character says in bold and/or a different color, so that other characters can respond more easily to your posts.

Your character’s animal counterpart will age at the same rate as their human self. In other words, even though a dog is only a puppy for two years before reaching maturity, in Identity a human-dog shape-shifter would be a puppy for 16 years (until both human and animal reach maturity).

When creating your character, please be sure to completely fill out the form. You can add as much information (or more categories) as you want, but make sure all included areas are complete.

Characters of any age or gender can get into fights. The players should judge who wins the fight (if you are having trouble deciding who wins, contact a staff member, who will choose for you). Remember to keep the violence and gore at a PG-13 level.

You may create a character of any age, but keep in mind that people can’t speak well until age 4-5 and most people don’t live past the age of 70-75.

If you choose to have a character be a child, make sure that they have a parent or caregiver. Children under the age of nine cannot live without an adult caretaker.

Humans will become adults at the age of 16. Under that age, and they may be limited by what they can do.

You cannot create a mythic creature or play under the "Northern Wastes" until your rating is “Traveler” (two stars). See the Star and Storm Element Rules for more information.


On Images:


Signatures are allowed, but keep in mind that they tend to be distracting. Signatures should not exceed 200 pixels high x500 pixels wide. (You can PM me if you have something you absolutely have to have that's larger than that.)

Signatures may only have one clickable image.

Images/Signatures should not contain any inappropriate material (remember that this is a PG-13 board). They also should not link to an “adult” site or forum (anything exceeding the PG-13 level). You can advertise that elsewhere.

Do not use someone else’s image (unless they made it for you or you have their permission). It is copyrighted material.
