Albion Tales is like many other Role-Playing sites. The object is to develop an interesting character, whether good or evil, and make a mark on the world of Albion. However, there are something that are not necessary in these stories.
There is absolutely no tolerance for racist, sexist, homophobic or otherwise nasty remarks. If the admin sees you doing this or hears about it from someone else then there will be some mighty punishments.
Fable is a mature game, so naturally this site may have some mature content. This doesn't mean that it is a pornographic or erotic site and if you are unsure what the difference between adult content and erotic content are then feel free to ask someone. It is mostly in the description and word usage, refrain from too much.
It is not necessary for a character to be on here every single day we do however want characters to be active whenever possible. Also, if you have more then one character and can't keep it up anymore then inform an admin and we will come up with a solution. All we ask is for you to be involved when you can and if you aren't interested in the site anymore, no problem. Write your character out of the storyline, tell the admins and you can go on your merry way. Absolutely no guilt necessary.
It is necessary, for the tales on this site to make sense, for you to be faithful to the storyline of Fable. Anything that was not mentioned in Fable should not be brought into it at all. Period. Likewise, if you adopt someone else's character it is unwise for you to change said character completely. A sudden change, from good to evil, after a user switch will be addressed. Not punished but addressed.
Similar to the first rule this one just states you need to respect others. That means NO GOD-MODDING of any kind. If you want to injure someone in battle or kill them then talk to them about it first or request a Blind Battle, this is where the Heroes of Strength, Will, and Skill decided the outcome as it goes. Also do not be upset and harass them if they don't want to battle you. Take it as a compliment. Maybe they are scared. Just simply walk away and look for someone else to fight.
Respect and listen to the Administration on this site. This of course does not mean that if an Admin asks for your password that you should give it to them. Unless it is told to you by several administrators that it is needed (although I can not think of a single reason why) do not give them it. Also if an Administrator is harassing you or making you uncomfortable tell another admin. They are not above the rules just because they make them.
I'm not such a stickler that all commas must be the right place and slang of any kind is not allowed but it is still a rule. Just use proper judgement. Remember that others will be reading these posts and if they can't understand what you are writing they can't write back. All posts are in the 3rd person (some exceptions) and there can be no text-messaging type words. (brb, lol, lmao, l8er, 2 as in to, 4 as in for) These are stories and most stories don't have abbreviations like that in them. Also never start and RP assuming people will read your display name and then start the RP.
Example: walked in wondering what was going on. She heard a loud noise. ; hated the bright sun in the afternoon.; said, "Hey, I don't have a pet Balverine."
It's just annoying and I won't allow it. RPing classes will be held anonymously with me or another Admin if we think that you need some help. But we will not judge you even if you are new to RPing.
Well that's it. Shouldn't be too hard remember. I want everyone to read this and post that they understand it.
Prejudices and hateful comments need to be left outside
