About Arcadia

What to expect from our Leadership:
1. We will respond to forum posts, PMs, emails, and other inquiries from players promptly. 2. We treat the concerns of the players with respect. We want to enable our players to generate ideas and spin plot webs and explore with our characters, and want to know if the player feels that something is artificially blocking them or making them feel uncomfortable. We are inclusive and strive to make sure everyone can be heard. 3. We treat every single character as a main character. Because in a character’s mind, they always believe and act like they are the hero of their personal story - even Sin believes she is saving humanity, though in her own twisted way. While Phoebe or Sin are focal in the historical conflict of the setting, by no means are they the most important characters in the game and everyone else just supports them. Every character should have a definite development and progression of their own, and no player should feel like they have to sacrifice their character development in order to please the metaplot. 4. We are flexible, and we love fun ideas! While we can’t necessarily take on every single idea suggested, we rave over ideas that provide the more opportunity for plot and good writing in the game. We are willing to handwave in plot elements that are creative and fantastic. We are not married to a particular direction of the game, and will go where the player interest goes. What we ask of Players: 1. We ask that players be 16 years old and up. We are not trying to discriminate against good young roleplayers, but facets of this game can be dark and disturbing. Further to the point, out-of-character chats can (and usually do) contain foul language and sexual references. 2. If you’ve been in an RPG before, you probably know the usual deal about no godmodding, etc. Same deal here. 3. If you want to kill another character, it has to be at the consent of the player and notification and permission of the Mods. There will be MotD/cannon-fodder NPCs who will not require permission. 4. Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have done unto you... out-of-character. Play nicely with the other players. Don’t post about other players on anything like bad_rpers_suck. 5. If you’re playing a racist/homophobe/sexist/any other variety of bigot, then keep it in-character. Any out-of-character talk of that kind will get you booted and your character either put up for adoption or used as cannon-fodder. 6. To stay in the game, players need to post or make some sort of sign of life within the game at least once every three months. If a player is inactive for three months, they will be put on suspension. If they do not respond to any inquiries after being suspended, then their character is retired. Extended leave is fine, provided the player notifies the Mods first. 7. Before applying, read through the info provided to you in the top navigation links. We put it there for your edification. A look-through of the inspiration threads on the forums, the Pinterest or the Tumblr will probably help you get a stronger feel of the game. 8. Due to the small number of currently available slots compared to other games, we are currently restricting the number of characters per player to two, and those two characters shouldn’t be on the same team. ...UNLESS you app for a regular human or regular Coppelia. They are Free Passes and you can pick up those beyond the two character limit without penalty (so long as they are accepted). |
