This is a new rp, I want to see how it goes.

Rules:

1. Absolutely no metagaming. If you don't know what metagaming is, here is an explanation:

In role-playing games, metagaming is an "out of character" action where a player's character makes use of knowledge that the player is aware of but that the character is not meant to be aware of. Metagaming while taking part in relatively competitive games, or those with a more serious tone, is typically not well received, because a character played by a metagamer does not act in a way that reflects the character's in-game experiences and back-story.

Adjusting a character's actions based on foreknowledge of the long-term intentions of the gamemaster.

Gaining knowledge from Out-Of Character.

Using knowledge from a previously played or dead character.

Using certain types of attack or defense based on the strengths and weaknesses of an opponent that the player's character is unaware of.

Acting on any knowledge that the character is not aware of (such as creating gunpowder in a Dark Ages or Middle Ages setting).

Adjusting a character's behavior towards other player characters based on real-life relationships with other players.

Using knowledge of the game's mechanics to gain an advantage in the game by having the character do something incompatible with that character's personality.

2. No godmodding. What is godmodding?

"God Modding" is in essence when someone’s character has the ability to do practically anything without limits or boundaries. And example is when they simply cannot be harmed by any and all means other RP-ers try.

-It can be killing or injuring a character without the player's express permission. -It can be when they simply can’t be hit and dodge all attacks or anything for this matter aimed at them. -It can also be using other characters that other people RP with. In other words, if you do not RP as Legolas, then you cannot have Legolas say anything, or do anything, without the player's express permission.

The absolute worst is when they make out another character to be what they’re not, just to make their own character seem superior. They make others seem weak, screaming for help, when they’ve made it quite clear about their advantages and strengths. This is called power-play. It’s a strain of God-Modding, but instead of just being irritating, it’s offensive to boot.

This is a prime example of God Modding:

Player A: Punches Player B

Player B: Dodges attack, grabs Player A and throws him. Player A flies at Player B, who warps behind him and slashes Player A in the back.

3. No magic, unless you are one of the five istari.

4. No making the main threat unless I allow it.

5. This is the fourth age.

6. No controlling large armies! Not until ONE war happens, then we can lead a force of maybe 1000, but until then just adventures.

You get 3 chances. First is a warning, then a kick from the post for _ days (Considering how badly you broke the rules) and 3rd offence is you are out. Until I think you are ready.

We don't know each other. Until like the
