Default Town Hall (Please Read)

Town Hall



It's a large wood and stone building with a pair of grand double doors.
They lead you to are larger room with a series of chairs arranged in a circle

A plaque is on the wall with the door reads.

Welcome to the town. We are a small community of role players. If you are new we recommend you find a mentor and or read our guide. There are a few rules in relation to the town hall please respect them. Stay in character as much as possible. While I understand some of what we hope for this building to achieve is impossible without some full out of character posts. But if you can please stay in character if you can. The hall is a place of peace, there is to be no fighting within the hall. Enjoy your stay.


The inside of the hall is well decorated and a large fire burns at the far end keeping the hall at a constant temperature that is warm and pleasant .

Now
What the town hall and council is and isn't for

The town hall and council is a place to
Discuss upcoming plots and to seek advice on them.
To resolve IC or OOC issues.
Get help improving your RP
Have fun
Improve the town
Discuss changes that would effect the town
Hang about and Roleplay


The town hall is not a place for

Fighting
Making rules.
Attacking players verbally
Breaking forum rules

The OoC Mayor: ( Quinsar )
Will come up with guidelines they aren't laws, but they are a good thing to follow as
he just cares about the good of the town


The IC Mayor (Character: Ori Player Mee)
Is a incredibly friendly and helpful Town council member


What a Town council member is:

An elected player who is.
A friendly player who is willing to dedicate extra time to help players.
An experienced role player who can answer questions
And someone who can help you with your roleplaying


What a town council member IS NOT

The Law
All knowing


Mentorship


The Town can be a scary place as can Acronym
This is a program run by some of the more experienced role players to help some of the newer ones. If you are looking for a mentor post a request here and wait. A mentor will come to you.

List of mentors currently:

Mee
Celtois
KerfuffleMach2
Kigganaku

List of Town Council members:
-None-

and 4 guards who protect the town hall.
Thank you please enjoy your stay in the town


This week in the town

All town characters, within Town borders, must maintain a power level of six or lower. They must do this by
A) Manifesting as a lower power within town, or B) be affected by the spell casted over the Town that lowers you to power level six. Be warned, we have people watching you! DO NOT say you are a six and still over power your character. This applies to all threads and defies all other magic. If your thread is on Town ground, it is under the effect of the spell.
We 'll test this out over the next week then the Town will vote if it seems to be holding up, and we'll decide whether or not it stays. We will also be implementing a new death system. If your character dies, there are two ways to raise them: A) Wait a week, then they can be rezzed as normal, or B) When your character dies, the character that killed your character receives a "Soul orb", to be able to resurrect your character, before the weekly respond time, someone else must collect the orb, then resurrect you normally. If your character dies of un battle related causes, they may be raised normally. This will be in effect for a week, then it will be voted on!
That is all!

I was only following orders (Inter-Town Plot)

Okay, this mini-plot of mine features three people controlled by me. The Target, the Assassin, and the Boss.
Basically, a person is going to show up dead, and anybody who wants to can go around looking for who killed that person, and why they did so.
Anybody interested? Tell me here, so I know when to start it.

Oh right, I have no intention whatsoever of having anybody's characters die. But the Assassin will fight if backed into a corner.

A Kigg double walks into the Town Hall and sees the application forms for being a council member. "Huh, that looks fun!" The copy grabs one a fills it out.

Player Name:Kigganaku

Character Name:Kigganaku Railstorm

Reason for applying: Sounded like fun.

Why you would be a good council member:
I bring a very unique quality to the table, and I have access to the Mages Guild and all of its uses. I also tend to be a bit excentric about most things, and channeling it toward something useful sounds like a good idea.

When your around: 8-12 pm -8GMT

Link to character backstory and info: Here

Alignment: Neutral Good

Quote from you:"Yep, break out the cookies and fire goblins!"

Anything else you wish to tell us
Boredum is the mother of nessicity?

"Time to blow this popcile stand!"

(That is why I made the thread IC and OOC so we could use it for anything to keep it on the first page. Also why a link is in my sig.)
