Character Creation/ Bio Submition:

1. Character Bio's: Members
must be filed out so everyone else undertands this character .

3.Ownership:
You own your character. Other members will not be able to use or
control your character in any way. If this happens notify a Staff
member. If a member actively attempts to control another members
character a warning will be issued. Written permission must be made for
another user to use your character.

All
characters will recieve a Tech Spec for their Character upon completion
of the Character Bio. This Tech Spec will include the following fields.
Pending Discriptions.

Legend:
Strength: STR
Speed: SPE
Endurance: END
Firepower: FIR
Skill: SKI

Members
will not give themselves Tech Spec's. Only an admin can approve raising
the Tech Spec or lowering the Tech Spec. There are many ways to do so.
One would be buying better equipment for your character, another would
be achieving a goal or completing a mission, or defeating another
character in Combat.

Posting Rules:

1. Topics: Topics
are what this place is all about. Open topics allow any character to
join. Closed topics are restricted topics that the creator dictates who
may enter. Please state if you want your topic closed in the
sub-category under topic title.

1.1 Topics:
Members may not close a Battle topics. For example, a member that
attacks another may not restrict who aids the defender by limiting the
topic only to the attacker and defender.

2. Major Topics/Minor Topics:
Major topics are topics that include such events like Faction battles,
Faction attacks on uncontrolled planets, Destroying a base, Fleet
battles, environmental changes, diseases and biological weapons,
introducing a new species, introducing a new technology using databases
and finally base building or fleet building. Please state in the
Sub-topic line if the topic is a Major Topic. Otherwise Minor topics do
not need to be stated so.

3. Double posting is
a restricted act. Please allow whomever you are Role-Playing with to
respond within the allotted timeframe. Keyword 2: Rollout. If a Major
Storyline battle is occurring, this applies with factions. For Example:
If the Autobots post an attack on the Decepticons, the Autobots must
wait until a Decepticon member posts a defense before posting again.

4. Posing Length:
Posting length is an important standard of this site. The minimum word
count is 25 -50 words. This is an incentive for those whom do not post long
post to attempt to do so. If you can not finish your post, state it at
the bottom of the post. You may finish and continue a post at a later
time if you like, just state it before hand. Also, I understand that
some topics really do not inspire creativity, but try at least. I will
not delete posts or warn you on this rule.

5. Grammar and Spelling: Spell
check is your friend. I make mistakes, a ton of them. You might catch
them, I might not. I try to use spell check if I can it helps clarify
my posts. Checking your spelling and grammar is important, you do not
want to have your post miss-interpreted. Please do not shorten words.
Do not use abbr words as well.

6.
Attacking and Defending: When an attack post is made the Defender has
to respond and No god like characters .

7. God-modding:
No god-modding. Your character is not all powerful. Thus the reason for
the addition of weaknesses to the bio's. I don't care who you are I
will ban you for breaking this rule. Keyword 3: Spark. Of course a
warning will be announced before such an action.Missions: Some Factions
may have missions. You can take one mission at time. Missions will have
rewards by Staff and Faction leaders.

8. Death:
No character is immortal, because of this fact Death is a topic we must
discuss. During the term of this Role-Play your character and others
may die, that’s life. No matter the cause of how, which may include
several reasons you are dead and can not post in any forum but the OCC
and Main/ General Area. An inventive solution has been derived to
remedy death. You may have noticed or you may never have but there is a
forum where you may be cloned or resurrected. You do not have to clone
yourself and return at all, the choice is yours and yours alone. You
may in fact want to create a new character. I invite you to do so. Just
place a new bio in the Character Creation page. There is no limit to
the number of times a character may be cloned/Resurrected.

9. Abuse Posts:
Any member or members just posting to gain income will be warned then I
will deduct Income from their total. This will be inacted only where I
or other admins find that the system is being abused. If it happens
constantly You will be banned.

Factions/ Missions:

Factions: There
are currently four Factions on Transformers: Autobots,
Decepticons, Humans, and Independent. Members can create Alternative
Factions. A New Member Created Faction must write a bio for the faction
and have it approved by the Admin’s. A new faction will need Five
members to be official. A leader will be appointed to the new faction
so that missions and other acts will be organized.

Missions:
Some Factions may have missions. In fact I hope that there will be
continuous missions for all factions. Missions are the responsibility
of the Faction Leader. The Faction Leaders will be posted in the
Databank. Faction Leaders will assign and have missions approved for
member use.

Staff will assign military statistics and Tech
Specs for each Character. It is the Members responsibility to add the
Tech Spec to his or her Signature. If a member changes the Tech Spec
that the Admin gives them with out permission that member will be
banned. There is only one warning for this.

Members and Factions
can not create fleets, technology, armies, or any major changes without
staff approval. For Example, If a player wants to upgrade or make a new
weapon they must use a “Did I” or purchase the upgrade or weapon.

Combat:

Members
can engage other members at anytime. Members are not allowed to
continuously attack the same member three times in a row. Each combat
thread counts as one time.

"Did I's: At some point a member will
have to ask permission on some acts that are decided within the
Roleplay. An Example of such would be that If you wanted to engage an
enemy player and effectively hit him or her with a weapon or defend an
attack you would have to ask an Admin, by posting "Did I hit "blank"
with a weapon blast ?" The Admin will answer and decide the outcome.
The Admin might decided the attempt hit or failed, also the Admin has
the right to enter other conditions into the RP at this point. Such as,
adding an effect to the attack or for example that the attacker hit a
friendly target. The defender may post One post as his or her defense.
The Admin's answer may be "Yes you hit "blank" but he or she is only
hit in the arm" or "yes you hit "blank" and killed them. "Blank may
post his or her death or post to clone his or her self.

With
the use of Tech Spec’s members that engage in combat will be matched
against each other. An Admin will review each characters tech spec
which is posted in the member’s signature. Please note that Tech Spec’s
only count for half the battle. Member Posts will be the deciding
factor.

The content of your post will effect how your Did I is
acted upon. Content includes concise description and clear posted acts.
Vagueness will only hurt your case. Posting a one sentence response
will forfeit your act to the other player. Try to be descriptive, the
Admin’s are here to help as for it if you need it.

A "Did I"
must be made in the post you hope to have your action concluded upon, A
Major “DID I” must be made to kill or take over control of a planet,
Disable a Character, injure a player, steal something, or generally
affect the site.

You can configure your attack and then when
the defender responds you may respond to his/her defense. Please allow
at least two posts each before declaring a victory with will be awarded
by an Admin. Yes in DID I form.

Obtaining items After a Victory:
In one on one combat or team combat when a character falls in battle
the member that caused his or her death may choose two items from the
victim. Only two items/weapons can be choosen and they can not be
defalt items/weapons that the member recieved with their bio. The item
can NOT include armor plating but can include shields. All weapons are
up for grabs.

Other:

Weapons: All
members are have a in battle weapon cap of five weapons. They may NOT
use more than five at a time. A member can have more than five in his
or her possesion but they can not be used in battle. The user must
state that they are only using said weapons. Please adhear to this
rule.

Members can only have five useable weapons at one time.
The two that are their defalt weapons plus three others they get from
battle or they buy. The combined total of the weapons will make up your
firepower. Please note that you can only use fiver to this total others
will be only invintory and you can sell or trade them if you wish.
Defalt weapons can be replaced.
