Rules

The Last Romance RPG is an email-based role playing game run through Yahoo! Groups. Members of the game may participate to an extent of their choosing. Those who wish to lurk or set their preferences to "no mail" are welcome. Any technology anachronistic to a medieval world i.e. computers is not acceptable for the game, but plot devices such as time travel and magick are considered acceptable. Please follow the follow rules to ensure your comfort and the comfort of other players. Continued disregard of these rules will result in your being banned from this list.

 Do not under any circumstances start a flame war with another player. If someone advertently or inadvertently role plays your character, this is not a good enough reason to harangue and abuse them through the list. You may email me privately to settle the problem. If you say anything disparaging about another player publicly I will email you privately and ask you to change your behavior. Do not enforce rules yourself or point fingers. It is up to me as moderator to enforce the rules. If you don't think I am doing a good enough job of that you may email me privately.

You may not role play another person's character. Sometimes there are gray areas. For example, sometimes we create minor characters that may be killed off because they are not official characters. You may not kill or maim another character without that player's permission, however. You also may not assume actions or thoughts on the part of the other player (unless your character simply thinks that is how they are reacting). Nothing is more frustrating than having your character taken over by someone else in a scene. It takes the enjoyment from the game. For the record, the most-broken rule is the first rule listed. This is the second most-broken rule. You may not think you are capable of breaking these rules, but even with the best of intentions sometimes we make mistakes. Therefore take note especially of these two rules. The other rules are less important.

You are welcome to make out of character "ooc" posts to the list, but signify them in the subject like as "ooc" when posting them. Title in character "ic" posts with an appropriate subject such as the name of your character or the setting. Make certain your subject is relevant to your post so that there is no confusion about your post. Continual "RE:" posts with a recycled subject line may be confusing when the plot has moved onward.

Make your posts in the third person point of view. This rule is subject to change. Everyone should, however, be using the same point of view to post.

You are allowed to play more than one character on the list. Properly introduce second and third characters to the list, and provide the moderator with a bio for new characters, so there is no confusion on the list about your characters.
