GENERAL

SPIRIT OF THE GAME. The Equilibrium of Night is based in modern cities. Therefore it has a high realism factor, this fact should be kept in mind while playing the game. Emphasising using realistic methods to solve problems and interaction. Instead of using magic talismans and the like.

GOOD OF THE GAME. The game should be played with the overall storyline in mind, as well as their characters story. The overriding principle in the game is COMMON SENSE. For instance it would make no sense for a vampire hunter to take on 50-100 vampires by himself. It would however make sense for a vampire hunter to take on 2 vampires with a partner. The same goes for a vampire. A vampire cannot take on a group of hunters and not get some kind of injury.

POSTING FREQUENCY. It is desireable that players post at least twice a week. However it is understandable if this cannot be done. Once a week is the minimum posting frequency without risking getting kicked off the game. This is negotiable though. If a player has a specific reason that they cannot post once a week then that player can simply tell his city admin. IF A CITY ADMINISTRATOR IS NOT NOTIFIED. THAT ADMIN CAN REMOVE THE PLAYER FROM THE GAME. This of course is up to the Administrator.

"GOD MODING." God moding will not be tolerated. If a player is god moding that player will be removed immediatly. A small amount is acceptable and almost inevitable in this kind of game. However making your character invincible is not allowed. It doesn't matter how your character get's this power. GOD MODING IS NOT ALLOWED.

CITY ADMINISTRATOR. Every city has an administrator that is also a player. This persons is responsible for how well the game is running and to solve any disputes. We hope that disputes will be rare. If a character has a problem with the story or other characters that player must contact the city administrator. THE ADMINISTRATOR'S DECISION IS FINAL. Unless there is reason to suspect that admin is misusing it's power then the problem should be taken to the game masters. THE GAME MASTER'S DECISION IS FINAL IN EVERY CERCUMSTANCE IT WILL NOT BE CHANGED.

GAME MASTERS. The game masters (gms) handles character applications and maintains the website. They also appoint the city admins. In this game there are three Game masters when a problem is taken to one it will invovle all of them. This makes for a decision that is not based upon one person's thoughts. AGAIN THE GAME MASTERS' DECISION IS FINAL.

NPCs. There will be much use of Non-Player Characters (NPCs) in the game. Players may write a post from the point of view of an NPC, if it advances the story. NPCs may be killed. However some special NPCs should only be killed in VERY special instances since they will be integral to the game.

PCs. A player may write for another player's character in their own posts, like in a conversation, however they may not write a whole post from the point of view of another character.

CHARACTER DEATHS. To kill another player's character you must have permission.


RELOCATING TO ANOTHER CITY. Interaction between cities is incouraged. Moving to another city is permissable just talk to the two admins.
