There is no flaming.  

A lot of people get emotional as they play the game, and that's fine.  Just remember play is play and ooc is ooc.  I'm not saying you can't tell me to shut the hell up, just be polite about it.  Mind your manners, we're all humans with feelings here.

Metagaming. 

ie. players who are friends let each other know of their plots and whatnot.  Keep it in the game.  Sure talk about it, but don't let it affect the way you play.  If any of this is found out you will be wishing it hadn't happened.

Don't get Attached 

Your character IS NOT an extension of you personally.  The character can be remade.  Losing is part of playing and remember that you can always make a replacement.   Not to mention, if you can lose, you can also win.  BTW I was told that the best rper's make their characters extensions of them.  While this is correct those same rper's don't take it personally when their chars are destroyed either.

Op's ooc power vs. ic power 

I will not be prince nor will any other op.  If you want to op here and prove yourself,  you can be invited, but remember that any ic power you have will be relinquished.  This channel is made so that the players run ic and ops make sure ic is doing well.  I'm not god don't kiss up to me,  I want to see you have a good time.

Grudge

He killed your char? That sucks, but that doesn't mean new char goes after that guy just because the other one was killed.  Think of your characters as pieces on a chessboard and be prepared to let a few die because it will happen.  You will be allowed to have a finite number of characters.  As you prove yourself as a player you will be rewarded by getting character slots that might be unique or more in number.  Holding a grudge won't help you do this

There are more rules, plenty I'm sure just remember to treat others as you would like to be treated, unless its ic, then try and be as ruthless as you can.

Kill

Vampires are predators, they kill sometimes while feeding, they kill to survive, some of them kill for laughs.  This isn't a peaceful channel guys.  We're not here to just hang out pretend to drink "wyne" and be all social.  There will be Sabbat spies among you, trying to kill you.  You'll get points for plenty of things.  Killing could be one of them.  At the very least don't be afraid to mix some paint with the local bully or something.

Play Your Sheet

If your going to be a social vampire your social skills will be tested.  NPC's will test them, if your arguing in a council they will be tested. Don't be an app 4 and post like your an app 5.  And if your an int 2 don't act all smart.  Play your sheets and even some of the mundane talents skills and knowledge's will be played at.  There will be violence, but with the proper use of your social abilities, you can make others do the violence for you.

Hostilities

No you can't have a tzi lover (sure there's something about it in the books but really it was meant as a sl idea and not a norm for the founder) , or an old friend who happens to be a Werewolf (again if this is the case be ready as other werewolves will see this as "mingling with the wyrm" a very big nono).  Werewolves HATE vampires, they'll kill on site and visa versa.  If your a Sabby and get involved with the Cammy be ready to fend of a pack off angry vampires.  Same for Werewolves who fraternize with vamps.  We'll be adding more werewolf and Sabbat slots as the channel grows, be ready to fight for dominance.

Exceptions to the rules

None but enforcing is going to be up to the prince, who will answer to the Justicar or Archon that comes down to inspect things from time to time.   A weak prince who cannot hunt down the Sabbat or traitors will not rule for long.  NPC pacts of vampires or something else will also be utilized to make sure things don't get too unbelievable.

Other stuff

This channel is probably going to be welcome to all,  but if your here to get your cyber on or if you are under 18 and are looking for some "action" take it out of a TDA channel.  I'm not the cops and I'm not going to deal with this whole underage thing.  Vampires aren't sexual creatures but I know its fun sometimes, just get a channel for it, and don't sex in the TDA channels.
