Roleplay Regulations

ROLEPLAY

• A minimum of 150 words is required for a roleplay post to be considered acceptable.
  
  
• Roleplay posts that require you to roll must also have a minimum word count of 150 words, unless it's an event or quest that requires it. Then you may do it once.
  
  
• If the user is caught cheating the point system by not following these rules, points will be taken away.
  
  
• In socials, dialogue counts towards the total amount of words. Though, dialogue may not exceed more than 50% of the post.
  
  
• Dialogue must be relevant to the topic. Saying nonsense to fill up words may result in punishment.
  
  
• Dialogue does not count towards the total amount of words in training topics.
  
  
• Users can only be in 10 topics at the same time. These topics must be in the same region (East, West, Center, North, or South). This allows for the possibility to do a mission in one topic, while having a romantic dinner in another topic. When you leave a region, you may finish your topics there but you may not create new ones there.
  
  
• It is not allowed to double post in a topic with other people. It is only allowed to double post if you have to skip another roleplayer who hasn't posted in 48 hours to exit.
  
  
• Users are not allowed to edit their post unless their roleplay partner(s) allow(s) it. If your character is fighting another character, you should not edit your posts without asking your opponent first. This is to ensure that people are not editing their posts after making a mistake to get an advantage. Please think twice before you post.
  
  
• Do not metagame. Metagaming can be defined as any out-of-character action made by a player's character which makes use of knowledge that the character is not meant to be aware of. Roleplay with your character based on the information that they have access to.
  
  
• It is mandatory that you separate the actions, thoughts, and other things for your character, using colors, dashes, quotes, or anything else that serves this purpose.
  
  
• Users must use paragraphs and not post walls of texts. In case a post is below 300 words no paragraphs are needed. When a post exceeds 300 words, please find a fitting moment to turn it into two paragraphs at least.
  
  
• Users cannot use spells or items that they did not have approved before they entered a topic.
  

Travel Regulations

Travel

• In order to move from one location to another, the user must travel. Travel itself is not an instantaneous thing.
  
  
• Due to the roleplay having an actual time flow, traveling counts as time progression. This translates into users not being able to enter ongoing topics when they enter a new location.
  
  
• The user must use a proper format for titling travel topics. The title is always the start and end destination i.e. East to West, South to East, etc.
  
  
• The user can only be in one region at the same time e.g. West, South, East, and North.
  
  
• The user may move freely within a region once they are in that region, but must exit their topic threads before traveling to another Region.
  
  
• The number of words required to travel from one region to another is 200 words. This starts at the region the user is leaving and ends at the region they arrive at. The word count minimum for roleplay posts is ignored for traveling should the user be in a situation in which the travel amount is less than the mandatory roleplay requirement.
  
  
• The amount of words required to move from one region to another region is 200 words, starting at the region you leave from and ending at the region you arrive at. The word counts minimum for roleplay posts is ignored for traveling.
  
  
• If you are in Crocus and want to travel to Magnolia, that would be a 200 word travel post as you are traveling between the two regions; in this instance, from Central to East.
  

Other Countries

• The user can enter the other countries (listed under the category Other Countries) without leaving their topics taking place in Fiore.
  
  
• The user does not have to travel to enter other countries.
  
  
• The user gets 5 additional roleplay slots for topics taking place in other countries that do not affect the normal amount of roleplay slots already available in Fiore.
  
  
• The user can only be present in one other country at a time. In order to enter another country, the user must first conclude all their topics in the foreign country they are staying at e.g. if the user has topics in Iceberg, they must first finish all topics in Iceberg before starting topics in Seven.
  

Mentorship and Rivalry Regulations

MENTORSHIP

• Characters may be mentored by other members of the Community who are at least two ranks ahead of them.
  
  
• Mentors and Students are eligible to claim fights between them as though they were Arena fights regardless of their location, doing so counts towards the same fight limit as other Arena Fights.
  
  
• Mentoring a character allows the mentor to repeat Quests and the student to receive an additional 20% Jewels, Experience Bonus and 10% Word Count Reduction Quests and Fights with or alongside the mentor, this does not stack with the Arena Fight modifier listed above.
  
  
• To submit a mentor and mentee relationship, a Social or Training topic must be submitted with the two characters.
  
  
• Members can only mentor up to 2 other members at a time.
  
  
• To mentor another character, one of the previous mentor relationships must be ended. This may be done once every 3 months.
  
  
• Mentor relationships are automatically considered ended when the difference in ranks between the characters is less than two ranks.
  
  
• When a mentorship ends as a result of rank differential, the cool-down is now reset allowing a user to become a mentor directly after as a result.
  

RIVALRY

• Characters may develop dedicated rivals who they can fight more frequently and challenge directly without the ability for others to interfere.
  
  
• Consenting rivals may fight each other twice per month, regardless of location.
  
  
• When submitting Fight Topics, both members gain an additional 20% Jewels, Experience and +1 Attribute Point per fight.
  
  
• To submit a rivalry relationship, they must submit a completed Fight Topic between both characters.
  
  
• Members can have one rival at a time.
  
  
• Rivalry relationships are automatically considered ended when the difference in ranks between the characters is greater than two ranks.
  
  
• Becoming Rivals also enables the user to raid the Guild Buildings and Real Estate with just cause.
