PROBOARDS HAS A STRICT NO ADULT CONTENT POLICY. NO NSFW ON SW FURRENDS. TAKE IT TO MESSENGERS
Welcome to Star Wars Furriends! The Star Wars RP for furries and more!! ((You don't have to be a furry to play with us, but we welcome any and all!))
This is a list of rules enforced at Star Wars Furriends to keep things fun and exciting for all members!
First, a quick list of RP terms for anyone who's new and may not be familiar:
RP: Roleplay. This is the story that you are helping to write! And your story, no matter how small you may believe it to be, will have an impact on the galaxy as a whole, and it's millions of inhabitants!
IC: In Character. The normal unspoken style of an RP. Your posts should be from your character's perspective!
OOC: Out of Character. This is the thoughts and words of YOU, the player!
Thread: The entirety of a story. This includes all posts in a thread and all characters involved!
And now the rules
ART: Credit your artist! Even if it's AI!
The Big 4
BE NICE
Think of Dalton from Roadhouse. Be nice. This is a game. So be nice to each other. Don't bash anyone else's fun. Or you'll be asked to leave.
NO GODMODING
Godmoding is defined as doing anything unrealistic or that gives an unfair advantage.
To go along with this, you may not hurt, maim, or kill another player without their consent.
All players have a right to defend themselves. Since this is a forum, not everyone is online when you are. Give them a chance to respond before moving the story forward. Don't leave your friends behind!
Espionage is allowed, as long as it is fair and WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE STORY. OOC knowledge used IC is Godmoding.
STAFF HAS THE FINAL SAY
While we do take into account the opinions, feelings, and beliefs of all players involved in a dispute, it is the staff's responsibility to ensure that SW Furriends stays a fun, safe, and calm experience for all involved. You are welcome to voice concerns or ideas, but the staff bear the burden of not only deciding, but also enforcing. And their word is law
HAVE FUN!
This is a game. We are here to have fun. So enjoy it!
INFRACTIONS
SW Furriends uses a 3 strike system
1st Strike - Offending post(s) will be removed and a warning will be issued
2nd Strike - Offending post(s) will be removed and a 3 day ban will be issued
3rd Strike - Offending post(s) will be removed and the player will be ejected from SW Furriends with a permanent ban.
Anyone found to be circumventing the rules or exploiting loopholes will be punished accordingly on a case by case basis
The staff reserves the right to skip any strike as necessary and based on the severity of the issue
GUIDE
If you're new to this style RP, or Star Wars RP in general, welcome!! It may sound a little daunting, but it isn't as bad as it looks. In fact, it's the most relaxed form I've ever found! We use a message board so you don't even have to be online when your friends are to play with them! They post their character's part, you respond with yours, and the next person does the same, and the story unfolds! If you have questions, ask in the OOC forum! We're happy to help!
RPs should be planned in the OOC forum by all who wish to participate. Please give time for anyone to respond that may want to join in before starting. (I typically give it 2-3 days, but it's up to you)
RPs should go in the Sagas forum. Any RP marked "open" can be joined by any player. Any RP marked "closed" is closed to only those named.
It is asked that you at least poke someone in the OOC thread before joining an open RP, or message them privately, to ask if it's alright and how you may contribute. Most RPs are loosely planned and can typically accommodate you.
While I typically wait a few days out of courtesy, it is not required or frowned upon if you don't. Feel free to start your story at anytime you're ready. If you have no concrete plan, open an RP and see what happens! Some of the best fights with my old nemesis were totally unscripted/unplanned and we were even asked to do a live action duel at an RP event with friends we played with!
THE FORCE
Jedi, Sith, Gray Jedi, Shadow Jedi, Dark Jedi, Nightsisters, and any being capable of feeling or using the Force are Force users. And we welcome you!
All Force sensitives must spend a minimum of 6 months training under a Master of Knight status or equivalent. They must also participate in a minimum of 2 Roleplays with their Master. The Master is responsible for teaching their apprentice the ways of their respective Orders.
Upon meeting the above requirements, an Apprentice may take the Trials. Upon successful completion of the trials, the Apprentice will be granted the rank of Knight.
Knights may take a student 3 months after their promotion and after completing 2 additional RPs. This is to ensure competency and understanding.
Final decisions on Force ranks are left to the discretion of the respective Councils, but will be checked up on regularly by SW Furriends staff to ensure they are meeting the community's standards
Players may be able to skip a rank if they are able to prove proficiency to the staff. This will be handled on a case by case basis.
GROUND COMBAT
Combat is to be handled by the participants. Disputes will result in the RP being locked until a resolution is found.
It's a game. We're adults. Have fun. It's a game. But if you want to be in a combat scenario, take your licks like the rest of us. Luke and Vader lost limbs. Han was frozen in carbonite and tortured. Let's be true to the characters.
PERSONAL TRANSPORT
All players are allowed ONE(1) ship, of their preference, for personal transport. This ship however, must be no bigger than a freighter.(No frigates or Star Destroyers, PAZ!)
PLANETARY TAKEOVERS/DIPLOMACY
Planetary Takeovers/Diplomacy missions are the way factions gain additional planets. This is accomplished with an RP of at least 10,000 words.
Factions looking to take a planet must:
Have at least 2 active members participating in the RP
Must have at least 1 planet with 3 functioning shipyards to replace/reinforce lost assets from such a battle
Must own, at minimum, 5 capital class ships
All Planetary Takeovers are closed to the faction involved. A faction may only have one active planetary takeover at a time.
PLANETS BELONGING TO OTHER FACTIONS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR TAKEOVER BUT MAY BE ATTACKED
FLEETING
Fleeting is the military side of RP. This includes everything from Planetary Takeovers to construction of ships. Every new faction to SW Furriends will set up base on a planet of their choosing, provided the planet isn't currently involved in hostilities(Planetary takeover, etc).
NAVAL COMBAT
Space battles are expected to be handled by both factions involved. Plan your roleplay and agree on acceptable outcomes and losses. Disputes will be decided by a random simulator so there is no room for bias. Therefore it is best that you handle your own disputes. Again, it's a game. Have fun. Or don't do combat.
CONSTRUCTION
ALL FACTIONS MUST HAVE A BOARD/FORUM THAT LISTS ALL OF THEIR CONSTRUCTION REQUESTS. THIS BOARD/FORUM MUST BE OPEN TO PUBLIC VIEW(POSTING IS NOT REQUIRED, BUT IT MUST BE VIEWABLE FOR STAFF REVIEW AT ALL TIMES
Shipyards take 30 days to build and cannot begin production until fully completed
Only 1 shipyard may be in production per planet. You can have more than one across multiple planets being built simultaneously, but only 1 per planet at a time.
Shipyards produce ships at a rate of 1200 meters per day
Factions will be given their first shipyard. The remaining two, as well as any needed on additional planets, must be built.
Each planet may have a maximum of 3 Shipyards
Shipyards can be damaged/destroyed in a RP. This is up to the discretion of the players and should be planned out prior to the RP.
DEATH STARS AND SUN CRUSHERS ARE BANNED FROM SW FURRIENDS
PLANETARY DEFENSES
Planetary Defenses may be built simultaneously to shipyards
Planetary Shields take 3 days to build and can withstand 1500 consecutive blasts from capital ship batteries(ion or laser) before going offline for 24 hours. Hits must be played out in RP
Ion/Laser batteries produce at a rate of 150 per day and each planet can have a maximum of 3000 combined ion/laser batteries.
FACTIONS
SW Furriends is in need of factions! To apply, make a post in the OOC forum. Minimum of 2 active members are required for faction approval. So pick a planet and get to work!
Any questions can be posted in the OOC forum.
