--- RP GAME RULES AND GUIDELINES ---
Our world is called Star Theater Horse World. It is a different place then the world inside Red Dead Online (RDO), though we play it using RDO. Our citizens are the member players of our Role Play Group. While in a RP session, there are rules and laws of the land. The first rule is to follow these rules. We have tried being easy-going and lenient and find that we end up with chaos and frustration. If you don't want to play by the rules, then this is probably not a good activity for you. NOTE: The below rules are in addition to the rules of our Discord Server.
1. THE MAIN IDEA AND GOAL is that we are pretending and acting like the RDO world is like America was in 1897. Most of the people were law-abiding citizens and lived upright lives. Many of them were Christian believers, and tried to live their lives that way. America at that time was considered a Christian nation and our RP community is founded on Christian beliefs. RDO, in general, is founded on the idea that criminal behaviour is the normal acceptable way to be. But not in our RP community. So picture yourself in that environment and act accordingly.
2. In general, save fast gallops for urgent situations. When trail riding - or going through town, be respectful of speed limits for safety reasons - even though they are not posting. No racing to next destination. We ride slow and together 2 by 2 (side by side) or single file on the trails.
3. DO stay in character the total time you are in a role play session. This means, dont talk about real life stuff, and don't discuss how this should work within the community. We are actors in an old western movie. Take out of character chat outside of the ROLE PLAY session.
4. DO pretend that you are your character. Stop and smell the flowers, take toilet ibreaks (n the bush, or some other appropriate place), bathe regularly, stop and eat lunch or dinner, etc... look at the views. Enjoy the scenery, flora and fauna, and talk to the group and eachother about it. Some of the add'l actions need some more pretend imagination to accompany it - such as taking a toilet break.
5. No griefing NPCs nor Players unless they attack us first.
6. Depending on the scenario, you can play the part of any character, either act out a character from the RP PLOT IR SCRIPT, follow the story of ur gaming character, or make one up on the fly for added drama and adventure.
7. At collection sites form a queue, get in line, and take ur turn.
8. Please be courteous and helpful to make it a pleasant experience for everyone.
9. Optional: Bring a date and stay close to him or her. But if someone else tries to "steal" them away, well playact ur reaction... like u can let them go and pick a new partner, or fight to keep ur date.
10. If a fight breaks out, no killing. Respond like real humans and stay civil. If someone is killed, the others will take u to the sheriff. Unless u escape. But dont come back, either way.
11. If u or someone is injured, others should take them to the nearest doctor for treatment. (They may be bed-ridden for a time too. ) But do act it out, and sit down to rest, or tell someone u think ur leg is broken etc. Others should show concern and go along with it.
12 OBEY THE LAW - AND SUBMIT TO THE LAWMAN.
- If you are told u r handcuffed, then act like it.
- ONE OF US CAN ACT THE PART OF A LAWMAN, or do a citizen's arrest, AND TAKE THE DETAINEE TO THE NEAREST SHERIFF'S OFFICE. Later, as we grow, we may be able to vote in positions such as Marshalls and Sheriffs.
- If an NPC shoots u for a crime consider yourself detained and off to jail.
- IF U HIDE FROM THE LAW, We can set our own appropriate bounties which must be paid off.
13. If u have to leave, please let the group know and walk or ride out of sight before leaving session.
14. If in a group, FOLLOW the designated leader and STICK TOGETHER.
15. Keep chaos to a minimum, as much as possible. NO Roping, hogtying, tea bagging, or horse play. At least not in pubic. If you want to do that in the role play session, take it to a private place. If you do it in public, expect to be reported to the law..
16. If any of us are attacked, then defend yourselves. But if it's the law, then submit. If you are wanted and choose to run from the law, that is your choice. But any of the citizens can choose to do a citizen's arrest. If we are attacked by other players who are not in our RP Group, then treat them how you wish, but do so within the laws and rules of our RP Group..
17. Rules will be strictly enforced. Players need to read the rules and state that they do agree to follow them. If they do not, they will be suspended or kicked from ROLE PLAY.
18. Role Play members must also join our community group on our website. There is an application procedures which includes signing that you agree to follow our rules.
19. The RP game is played with a variety of fun additional activities that extend the fun of RDO. These are on top of RDO itself. To do this you will need to utilize a virtual world tracked inside our community. This includes the movement of goods and services in an economy using STRP game currencies, and NFT's. There are additional rules and guildelines that must be agreed to in order to become a citizen of our community. This community is at www.ST-HORSE-WORLD.com.
20. CONDUCT BUSINESS IN GAME. Meet with pple in the RDO game to conduct business. suggestions are: around a campfire, in a saloon, at a home or business. A real nice place to meet is at a moonshine shack, where you can sit across the table from eachother as you talk
21. Later, as we grow, we may be able to vote in positions such as President, Governors, Mayors, Marshalls and Sheriffs..
