Newcomers! (Read First)

From the bank you spy a man in the park. Dressed all in blue with a lighter trim, beneath one arm is a board, half hidden by cloth. You watch for a moment as he heaves onwards, trying not to drop the board, re-adjusting it every few paces. He finally arrives, a sweat across his brow, that you can see now that you have walked over. Is there something I can help you with? You ask.

He turns around. You jump back half expecting to see a wizened wizard, in his place is a young man. Spectacles hooked on a beaded chain, slung beneath the hood, around his neck. There is actually. He says mysteriously before smiling knowingly and closing his eyes. You are about to ask or walk away, you havent quite decided which yet, when the face of the building beings to tremble. The old bricks flaking their moss covered shells and the mortar between them spreading to hold the smaller bricks. The board gently rises, a smoothed side, rising up further, hooking onto invisible latches. Falador Library it reads. Your eyes come back down to him. He has opened the doors and now stands inviting you in. You walk in the once humble building, replaced now with a vaulted hall that disappears, hidden from the light that shines from the torches either side of the door. Obscured by any number of bookcases, only a few filled. Tables before them, each stocked with paper and quills, charcoal and chalk. On the end of bookcases are posters, detailed drawings of different beasts, some you recognise and othersEither side of you are doors, only two and one has a thick bar across. The other, though, has Rusco engraved in a gold plaque. The man has begun walking into the main room, his footsteps clicking off the marble floor. He is heading towards a central circular desk. Come on, no need to dally. He says without looking back. You proceed hesitantly, the torches lighting as you walk close to them, revealing more cases, more tables. When he arrives he takes out a scroll from behind the desk, he holds it out to you.

Welcome to Falador Library.

The embassy of RPGs in Tip it. Feel free to peruse, to write and question. We have only a few rules for you to follow, and for you to tell back to me in a message of a private varity, after that it is up to you.

1. Should you post your message more than once or before you have a reply, you will meet with the PostMaster, and he is not a very nice...thing.

2. Swear at peril. Too much peril will result in a rather short obituary.

3. There has been a recent spree of smiley shaped engravings which people have used while they are speaking. Do not use them, they are rather annoying.

4. When you do not spell in the right way you annoy others. The same with Grammar. Of course though if you have an accent we are sure to be more understanding.

5. Death is not pretty, give your victim some warning.

6. Death without purpose solves nothing, death for robbery...that is against the law. The former will earn you a one way trip to death itself, where as the later will land you in a jail cell. Remember that before you strike them the last time...

7. OOC: When you are talking Out Of Context please make sure other people know, either by underscoring

_________

Like so, or by using OOC.

8. Imagine that all the worlds a stage, and all the men and women mearly players, they have the exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts...Now imagine that your audience in blind. Description is your friend....Because blind people have sticks and they don't half hurt.

9. Magic is to be used sparingly....it does have limits you know...I remember one time that Hawks tried to use a levitation spell to jump ten feet off the ground...Laid up in bed for the rest of the day...

10. If you have something relevant to say then say it...if you don't then don't say it. Also keep moving forwards. One liners will not be tolerated

Beneath is another less fluted version.

1. No double posts.

2. Please keep swearing to a minimum.

3. Please do not use smileys while in character.

4. Please use correct spelling and grammar when writing the stories, however, your character may speak and spell as needed for their personality.

5. Ask before you kill another character.

6. Dont kill character, your own or other peoples, without a good reason.

7. Always use ooc to show when you are out of character in Rusco.

8. Write as you would as if you were writing a story. When speaking, you might bold your words, italicize them, or make them a different color. Description is your friend!

9. Think. If something isnt logical, try to find a logical way to do it. Be fair to others and in fights. Be realistic in your storytelling. Magic may exist, but you cant jump ten feet in the air unless youre superhuman.

10. Please make relevant posts, and post at least three sentences per post.

11. All other forum rules apply as well.

12. Any rule(Excluding 11) can be withdrawn by the Games Master of the story at any time.

And now I must leave you, I believe I can hear another author approaching.
