BREAKING DOWN THE VERY BASICS AND ESSENTIALS OF RPING:

It's came to my knowledge that some players aren't clear on discerning IC and OOC.  (Check: What is roleplaying?)

Extinguishing between OOC and IC isn't difficult. Your character cannot assume INFORMATION collected from your OOC sources. This is called "META-GAMING". There is no emotional ooc involved in ic. Do not misconstrue ic for ooc actions. A character's personality is their own, and is not to be questioned OOC, nor can a character figure out another's personality, or alignment by looking at their site sheet. No one's characters are to be pandered to. When you say; "Your character did this...and that.." - It can result in a kick/ban. There are various alignments and types of personas in Aegle Waygate. If you feel you don't get some unknown due attention for whatever reason, then perhaps Aegle Waygate is not for you, and you should just go now. This is not an RPG to -learn- how to play in. You are not permitted to attack someone OOC for something -your- character did to another. Aegle Waygate's owners have been roleplaying for approximately 12+ years. If you fail to comply to these guidelines- it will be obvious and noticed. You WILL be warned, then banned. People who lash out OOCly, because they're unable to hear/translate conversations about their character ICly, should really find a cybersex chat, because they're not RPing, they're meta-gaming. You will know everything that your character knows, but the character will not know everything that you know.

EXAMPLE:

<Camigwen> dem is nothign but an foul mouthed ass, sho is the dark brooding look-at-me I'm soooo very darak and cool and shit and the gm not only allows it, but encourages it.
<@Aegle> I don't understand.
<@Aegle> They were speaking Abyssal. They're roleplaying their characters.
<@Sholin> Demitri is a Demon, Sholin is Evil. They're not do-gooders. And my character specifically has said nothing to yours.
<Camigwen> cami is the only one NOT trying to plot or start a fight.  she is TRYING to help the gm by getting everone tocalm down and SHE's the one who gets the hounds called on her???  wtf!!!
<Camigwen> yeah, your character never interacts.  just sits there and preens
<@Aegle> Camigwen: It's a lawless land, they're going to be loud, harsh and evil creatures around.
<Camigwen> pull pull cami from the character list.
<Camigwen> this is NOT were I want to spend my spare time.
<Camigwen> you three and can just keep playing with yourselves
<Camigwen> you've alreaady run off two players and who knows how many more
* Camigwen was kicked by ChanServ ([Aegle] User kick requested)

WARNING: We don't 'run off' characters. We weed them out, thankfully. The persons who do not read the rules, have the know-how and IC/OOC expertise, will fail at being capable of roleplaying anything remotely decent for the environment. Please do not register if you're emotionally connected to your characters. There are no 'good/evil' specifications in this game. You roleplay the alignment your character is registered in. This will naturally conflict good/evil characters along the way. There are no good/bad campaigns. You mingle within the Endow Moors- a sanctuary for 'bizzare' and strange creatures.

We've been questing for nearly two weeks now. The atmosphere is gaining momentum as we slowly accumulate more players! (Aegle will be hosting soon!)

If you're currently having trouble with rolling, figuring out spells and your mana costs; familiarize yourself with the system, to learn.

Some tips:

1. Refer to the Spell Rules page
2. Refer to the Dice Rules page
3. Keep your Character sheet page open during quest times
4. Take notes; if you figure out your spells exact roll command, copy/paste that into notepad for future reference, then during rolls, just paste it.
5. If you're a sparkholder, keep your entire mana pool up, and delete the spell cost every round.

Mood:  bright

The Born Skills were added. Two born skills permitted per character.

* The remaining 100+ other skills will be added within the week.

* Registry page redone for easier registeration. It is safe and accessible in every browser. Rank 1 Spells box were added for Sparkholders to choose their starter spell.

ROLEPLAY INSIGHT: What we're LOOKING for.

It's come to my attention that the type of [roleplaying] Aegle Waygate's seeks has been confused. We are in search of roleplayers. This includes persons who can stand-alone in a storyline, even freely RPing by themselves- between them and another RPer, also. We are not gamers, we are Roleplayers. We enjoy expressive characters- history based characters, players who are working behind the scenes to enrich their characterization. We require roleplayers who enjoy RPing for the sake of RPing. You will not be awarded any exp (while tavern Rping), for one-line responses, nor merely mirroring every statement players give your character. Without a player's own personal touch, unique contrasts of roleplaying, the lack of quality Rping isn't to be rewarded.
