1.)  This is a turn based game with a focus on diplomacy and strategy.  It's a homebrew system made very basic to ensure a focus on story telling and diplomacy, but allowing an element of skill and fate through dice rolling.

2.)  It is an adult game, therefore with the RTJ of your race, you will need to submit an age verification post stating your birth date month/day/year and a statement that it is legal for you to view adult material in your country of residence.

3.)  All rolls must be rolled with the servers dice roller and posted in your actions to me privately will be made by the GM.

4.)  Each week consists of 1 turn.  Each player must submit their posts by 10:00 AM Pacific Standard Time each Saturday.  Failure to post by that time will go as an uneventful turn for your race.  Submitted turns may be posted as early as the day after the previous turns results.

5.)  Have fun and be cordial with one another.  Disagreements that get volatile will be handled with the expulsion of all players involved.  Bottom line...  Keep it respectful in the OOC board.  This also includes your attitudes towards the GMs.  We don't mind questions and concerns, or even disagreements, but if you act childish or rude we will boot you out.

Obviously PM's should be used to communicate all official role-playing communications that are secret between two+ races. PM's are also well suited for players to interact with other players in a respectful fashion and to process OOC game mechanic like things. Such PM's should indicate if they are OOC however.

Race-Threads should be used to communicate general information about your race and non-secret role-playing of a public nature.

Galactic Seat/UA Hall should be used for pontificating, broad speeches that are public to every race and most NPC's in the galaxy.

The OOC thread should stay out of character and should not be used for actually playing the game.  However, you can feel free to ask questions, joke around, coordinate time-zones, and generally chat.

Every other form of communication is for players to talk to players (telephone, texting, skype, and rMail). However, if somebody tells you that they do not want to talk to you online, texting, rMail, or whatever, then you need to respect their wishes and limit yourself to IN-GAME communication methods.

=======================================
You are permitted to use rMail to communicate, if you choose.  (I couldn't stop you anyway.) However, YOU have to continue to follow the rules that RPOL has established. In no fashion should rMail be used to badger another player or attempt to entice them or engage them in activities that are Empirium related without their consent.
