The Fifteen Commandments
- Each member will start with $300,000.00-a small amount of money given by your organization, enough for starting modifications and other minor customizations for your mobile suit. Your organization will only pay you if you are valuable to them; meaning participation in this RPG is a must. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to battle others thirty times a week, it just means that if you at all hope to earn any money here you will have to post frequently (at least 2 times a week). At the same time, battles have the potential to earn you more money-therefore the more battles you fight in, the richer you will become.
- You can only get a customized Gundam when you prove that you deserve one by posting-this again refers to the fact that your organization will only spend money on you if they feel you are worth it. Rogues, on the other hand, have to additionally pay for their own suit (or steal one, whatever).
- When fighting a duel or taking part in a battle, try to adhere to the IC/OOC/Action rules of play, as well as the Darkness Echo FAQ. They help to progress both the battles and the roleplay experience with more efficiency.
- Profanity is allowed, as long as it is used appropriately and in an adult manner. Absolutely no statements like this: "God damn, you bastard bitch cock-biting fucktard."
- As far as the smushy stuff goes, some is allowed(and that includes perverted humor and the like). But please, for the love of GOD, no yaoi or yuri! That stuff gets really annoying and doesn't do anything with this storyline.
- Blood is good-in amounts. The rule for this is similar to the profanity rule: use such things as decapitations and dismemberment in an adult manner.
- You may not attempt to bring down this site in any way. If you do, remember the concept of "An Eye for an Eye": I will have the universal right to do the same exact thing to you.
- Even though some supernatural things such as telekinesis, electrokinesis, telepathy, etc. are acceptable and used in this RPG, it in no way means that your character can be a "superhero." This is not Superman nor Spiderman, and neither is it Fantastic Four. This is Darkness Echo, therefore no characters that resemble the ones seen in superhero stories will exist here.
- Please refrain from urges pertaining to nonstop, repetetive, completely senseless and pointless destruction.
- When you become a member, you may post actions as soon as you like. But please, post your first action no later than two weeks. There is almost zero tolerance when it comes to inactives: the purpose of joining this RPG in the first place is to participate in it. (Plus, inactives effectively become decoys, bullet shields, etc. since they are completely useless otherwise.)
- Conferring with an Admin or the head of your organization before you can do something very big (such as new mobile weapon designation, division reassignment, etc.) is a must. Even then you will have to show that you have earned what you requested.
- Pulling things out of your ass, attacking another player and instantaneously rendering them harmless without their consent, killing off a large group of enemies without one slight amount of damage, and other forms of cheating will not be tolerated. "Being lucky" is not an excuse.
- That being said, having such "extreme good luck" WILL result in extremely bad luck at the whim of a moderator.
- Concerning the killing of other members' characters: you cannot kill another player unless that player fell for it, or the battle was obviously in your favor.
- Follow these rules in their entirety. If you do not, severe penalties can and will most likely result. (Example: being declared treasonous because of a violation of rule #11; being killed as well because of a violation of rule 14.)
