Chaos Rising - Comments Thread
Chevalier-Ange:
So as not too bog down the RP thread with Aqua text, I thought this might be needed now since the story is getting more in depth and whatnot.
NINJA BY MIKE:
The new rules to join the RP. CA's original post has been moved to the bottom.
How to go about joining Chaos Rising
Note I: Through out this post, I refer to Chaos Rising as "the RP" or "this RP"
Note II: These rules may seem designed to exclude 99% of the population of Earth. That is a correct observation. I don't want to be rude to everyone who isn't an English Major, but much like you can't join the NHL unless you know how to play hockey well, you can't participate in the RP unless you're going to contribute well. In other words, the bar is set very high.
1. You must be an established member of Tale of the Cave. This means at a bare minimum, 20 posts. We need to know who you are, and what your writing style is.
2. You must read the RP fully. From the beginning. Yes, it's long. Too bad. If you don't read it, you cannot possibly participate in it.
3. Anyone who wishes to join must create a detailed character sheet, including background info and current whereabouts, and an introductory post where the character somehow becomes part of the current events of the RP.
4.
a) You must post the character sheet created in #2 in the comments thread, where you will be subjected to a vote by the voting members of the RP.
b) Three votes or 60% of voters, whichever is less, in your favour will allow you to join.
c) Three votes or 60% of voters, whichever is less, against you will result in you not being able to join.
d) The vote will take place over a period of 48 hours starting from the time your application is posted.
e) In the event of a tie (i.e. enough votes to both accept and reject your application), and a majority of 60% is not reached, the application shall be considered rejected.
f) I, Mike Caron, reserve to right to veto the decision in either way, for whatever reasons I choose.
g) Voting members shall be considered to be any member of the RP who has posted in the RP within the last 60 days, or within the last 15 posts, whichever is more inclusive.
5.
a) Upon acceptance into the RP, you shall be on probation for a period of three (3) RP posts. If any voting member does not consider your posts to be of an acceptable quality after the three posts, or 5 days, whichever is sooner, they may request a re-vote subject to the conditions of section 3.
b) Those who survive the probation period without a vote, or who win a vote of confidence, shall be considered full members of the RP, with all the rights and privleges therein.
c) Those who lose a vote of confidence shall be expelled from the RP, and their posts shall be stricken from the record if possible.
d) If your posts cannot be stricken due to other posts being supported by them, then your character shall be subjected to a colourful death at the hands of the presiding villan.
e) If expelled from the RP, you may not re-apply for a period of one (1) week.
Anyway...this is regarding Chronous's last post.

How is it your character knows about the cult?
And, in some ways, you seemed to point the finger at OwA's character as being in said cult.
Dunno...it just seemed your character was too...'knowledgable' to me.
Anyone else see this at all?
OnewingedDragon:
That seemed to be the overall issue. The character was just too knowledgeable. Where he was going to stay, the cult, etc. The building was on fire before he even made it into the city so...?
Chevalier-Ange:
Agreed. The one rule of RPing that seems to get over looked...usually accidentally of course, is this..."If you weren't there, you didn't see it happen." or "If you weren't there, you don't know about it."
It's sometimes hard to keep that in mind when you just read about it. I guess, just try to remember it's from 'your' characters perspective, and not the over all stories.
Mike Caron:
I agree with the contents of this thread.
RedAxie:
OwA, you spelled Aidan's name wrong.
