welcome to crocker park
Crocker Park is a fictional city in the state of South Carolina. It is a pretty booming city, but not as big as places like New York City, but not small like your neighborhood drive though village. Crocker Park houses the rich and the not so rich, as well on one side of town you will have the large housing complexes, even a gated community to keep the smelly poor people away, and on the opposite side you will have your working class, welfare baby mommas living in the government housing complexes that are usually income based. Right in the center is the brown nosing, bosses pets that make enough to drive a new car and have a 4 bedroom house, but only because they clip coupons and are in credit card debt, but hey what you don’t know about them the better right?
rules
general. There is not going to be many rules in this community, and we do not want you to feel like you cannot play your character the way you want to. With fewer rules you have more areas to play your character more freely and that is what we want. Though with every decent community we have to have a set of rules to obey with so nothing will get out of hand. We would also like to take this time to let you know that we are not going to die in a week or never open, we are perfectly content with a large base of players as we are with a small amount of players and with dedicated mods right with dedicated players we are sure this game will last.
ic/ooc. We would like to know that everyone in rpland knows the line, but some happen to cross this line very often. IC knowledge is when a character speaks in a scene, writes a public forum post or update that says what they want the characters to know. OOC knowledge is a characters unspoken thought in a scene, strikeouts, and posted logs your character is not involved in. We know that sometimes there is a very fine line and it gets crossed, but with our digression and if we feel that it was clear that you did, we will warn you.
godmodding. As everyone knows, your character is your own, he or she has their own backstory, thoughts, and actions as any human being. We will not tolerate anyone goddmoding another character and the player has a right to ignore what was said and put in their own characters thoughts. Godmodding as be described as making a character in a setting or place that they would not, and are not in. describing another characters feelings toward your own character, saying that the character did something that they did not do, so on and so forth. If we do see, or get a complaint in the dropbox over these matters you will be warned. If it is not your first time you will be removed from the community.
activity. Activity will be looked at on the last day of the month and removals will be done promptly at midnight on the 1st for every month. It will be looked at in several ways. A substantial entry in your characters journal (ex. A private, third person narrative, or a simple entry) of at least two paragraphs (5 or more sentences is a paragraph) or more. A thread or AIM log of your characters scene within the month. Though if we do find it a pattern that you update on the last week, without any kind or replies to forum posts or making any we do have the right to ask you to become more active within the community or remove your character.
journal/aim names. We ask that these be something to do with your character it being first name, last name, a mixture, nickname, or something along those lines. This is only to reduce any kind of confusion within the community of who your character is. Please refrain from many underscores, x’s, and numbers in the journal or AIM names
character limit. Right now we are going allow each player to have up to four characters in the community. Previously we had stated two per player but seeing as it looks like we are growing and having no signs of going anywhere we are extending this. If we do find that you cannot handle the amount of characters we will either deny or ask you to remove your most inactive character.
rewards. We have decided to make a reward system within the community to assure activity and what better way to other than to receive awards! We will add more but right now we have a few ways to earn immunity from removals. Now these can be used at any time. If you did update or post a thread that month you can save it until a time where you are feeling swamped or just more focused on something else at the moment. Though please tell us when you do want to use it.
1. Pimping. We are going to set up a post to link how many times you posted for the community in ~pbads or any other community pimping game.
2. We are going to put a place on the application asking who had asked you to join the community. The person that was most referred will win this
3. The person with the most forum posts that month will gain a pass since you are obviously being active on your character.
4. Mayor Missions. This is something we are going to set up, the Mayor of the town will come to your character and ask them to get information on something. It could be about another player, it could be about the city that is found in the city information, or even something in the ‘meet the mayor’ or the NPC citizens of the city.
The catch is, if you win that month you can only win again after 3 months since we want to assure that it isn’t the same person each month that is winning. Mods are exempt from the reward system since in our eyes, that is not fair at all.
