We did not think these would need to exist but they do.
1. Forum behaviour
1.1 Forum account avatars can be anything you want them to be, provided its inline with forum rules.
1.2 Character image. When RPing as a BD| member you must not:
Use images from popular culture including anime characters (regardless of how obscure the anime they are from) RP as a furry or half animal-humanoid species. Play a character under the age of 16 or a character that suffers from a defect/illness that gives them childlike physical qualities.
1.3 oorp. When posting on the forums in oorp and BD| related situations such as faction-feed back after an encounter you must not, swear, make personal insults or purposefully troll. It is advised that post faction feedback but if you are heated from a partially bad piece of sportsmanship that you take a day out before making the necessary suggestions on the appropriate threads.
1.4 All Members must be mature in their outlook. This applies to forum activity as well as generally good practice for VC and ingame.
1.5 If you can't burn somebody in two sentences or less, don't do it at all. Typing out four paragraphs about why (guy) is a mongoloid lacking in social graces basically makes you look like a mouthbreathing CAOD publord furiously slamming his ham-like paws against his keyboard in a sweaty rage. This only applies when posting on the forums as BD|, do what you want within forum rules when you aren't representing us.
2. Ingame behaviour
2.1 Blood Dragons are not pirates. Blood Dragons are not terrorists. Blood Dragons are revolutionaries, this means regardless of how you want to RP your character you simply wouldn't have joined the Dragons without being more than sympathetic to their cause. Remember the name of the Shogun and your Daimyo and feel free to drop them in conversation when fighting for your cause.
2.2.1 Piracy. Note as said above we aren't defined by piracy, with that in mind the only vessels you HAVE to pirate the MAXIMUM fine are ships using a Samura ID. Your clan may fallout with other certain trading entities and at their will add more corporations to that list.
2.2.2 When it comes to pirating always be reasonable. The actual maximum that you will be able to demand will be set by your clans Daimyo. That said here is the maximum they are allowed to set. If someone is carrying Ore never demand more than $10,000,000 and $5,000,000 for commodities. If you catch someone who is a new player adjust your demand to their rank, cargo size, and cargo hold. Even if you are only demanding $150,000 still complete the demand so that the new players can learn what to expect from pirates as they progress in the game.
2.2.3 Always use calm, relaxed and respectful inrp language when engaging in acts of piracy, unless dealing with a Samura ID'd vessel, although you may talk to these players as if they are evil peasant scum you must keep it clean of over to top personal insults and vulgar language.
2.3 Private messaging, Only ever use // oorp when trying to help a new player who just isn't getting it. Never respond to // oorp messages unless as above. all private messages should be inrp, start with "Long Range communication request sent, do you Accept Y/N....." Or something similar and finally never, under any circumstances PM any players with the [KNF] tag or respond to private messages from said tag inrp or oorp.
