In an effort to
facilitate the appropriate forum decorum and role playing etiquette,
the following rules are required to be honored during game play.
While it is understood that this is a game, we are set in a
Para-military setting and thus there will be ranks and
responsibilities associated with each department and department
head. It is our goal to establish realistic scenario's based
on current events placed into the Star Trek realm. While
"Omega" is based in the Starfleet domain, the team is governed under
Section 31, Article "C" of the Articles of Federation, defining
special and black operations. The time frame is the year 2377
CE. There will be one Captain
and one full Commander assigned as the teams command officers. Other
characters may bring their players in as Lieutenant Commander;
Lieutenant; Lieutenant Junior Grade; Ensign or any non-commissioned
rank. Typically non-military positions will be discouraged but
if permitted, will be held accountable to the military rank command
structure.
You may not post words or actions for any other player-character,
nor may you write as though a character has answered. Once you have
reached a point in your post that requires another player’s input,
stop and wait or work with the other character through a joint post.
The GM or AGM may strike any post from the record if it violates
the rules or corrupts the story line in such a way that the story
can not be recovered to allow for its intended conclusion.
The use of NPC’s are restricted and may only be introduced as a
story plot device by the GM/AGM. We encourage characters to interact
and work together.
All players are expected to acknowledge another player’s posts
directed at them in a timely manner, usually within a day or two of
the post being sent out. Should a player experience gaming
outages such as vacations/holidays; work related business or any
other restricting conditions, the GM/AGM must be informed in advance
so that the character may be played in an NPC fashion.
You may not post as though you are in two places at once, or conduct
two different conversations at the same time.
Nobody “owns” an NPC. All NPC’s are available for use by any player;
however, players MUST use NPC’s in accordance with the established
character and background of that NPC and within the rules as stated
herein.
Our logs are public and thus the use of profanity or sexual innuendo
is not permitted. It is considered appropriate to use “symbols” in
place of colorful language.
Everyone is expected to work together to further the plot and the
mission. There should be no god-like quick fixes. No one character
knows everything; all characters are to maintain a sense of
believability. Your character is limited to the plot information
within the story and nothing further.
Players are encouraged to communicate with one another, even
out-of-game, so that everyone is on the same page with respect to
intentions, plans, and clarification of posts. If you’re not sure
what someone wants to do, send that player a message.
We role play in the "third person"
format. See the RPG Guide for further instruction. |
