Stadium Of Blades

General Rules and Guidelines:

1. Your character’s name or use name must be Gorean in nature. Initials, room default or anonymous names, and improperly themed names such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer are not acceptable within any Gorean GRP Room.
2. Mirror rules regarding kills, captures and collaring will apply.
3. You are free to use our GRP rooms and silently observe, meditate or quietly learn. We won't hold it againt you, so long as you are practicing good manners and using your roleplay name! Once you break your silence, in any fashion, you are fair game and subject to the harsh realities of this room.
4. There is NO OOC in any of the GRP rooms. You are responsible for every word that you utter, whether you are in character or not, and will be held accountable IN CHARACTER for any words you say.
5. It is not acceptable to be in two rooms at the same time. If you are here, then you are here, not in your home, another's, or any other Gorean GRP room. Pick one.

Free Women and slaves:

1. You have no business sitting within the stands to socialize unless you are prepared for danger. The only time you are safe within the stadium is when there is a site sanctioned Event going on.
2. Any claims to an NPC escort will not assist you in escaping any harsh consequences you find yourself in.

Capture/Combat:

1. All role-play on Stadium of Blades pull-downs must be realistic and appropriate.
2. The default system for open combat/capture is AR Open Combat Rules unless ALL parties agree to another system.
If the parties involved cannot decide upon an outcome amongst themselves, they must post the role-play for review by a judge agreeable to ALL parties. If the parties involved can not agree to a mutual judge, they forfeit any and ALL rights to choosing who does or does not judge the fight, as well as refusal to honor the ruling of the judge. In such instance, the Senior Staff will find a judge for you from the list of judges each combatant has put forth. Participants are free to have captures, escapes and deaths judged for resolution, unless all parties involved have chosen to accept the results as they happen.
3. You are required to make a MINIMUM of 2 entry posts, and 2 exit posts. The ONLY Exception will be during the Warrior Challenge Spars, or any site sanctioned Event. Then ONE exit post is allowed for Free women and slaves only. Free men must still make the required 2 exit posts.
4. There is NO entering and pouncing. No kills, attacks, or captures will be honored if made during an entry post. You MUST enter properly into the area before joining any activity zone, ongoing battle, etc. You MUST exit properly before being safely outside the zone, as well. Likewise, no one may attack you during your entry posts, although you are permitted to defend against attack while simultaneously making your exit posts.
5. When a conflict breaks out, those who are able to participate and become a factor in the scenario will be limited to those who are already present within the room. A scenario is seen as beginning at the moment of the first attack.
6. Captures and escapes can make your palms sweat, your heart race and be extremely exciting roleplay! ALL Capture attempts in our GRP rooms need to be done in three alternating posts.(3 posts each) Please don't forget that those doing the capture should be realistically roleplayed and those being captured must realistically defend all attempts while fleeing. Most Importantly - Have Fun!
7. NPC animals played in GRP rooms are used for enhancement of a storyline and may not kill or maim any played character. NPC animals can be used to augment the capture of a played character, but the NPC animal must be controlled by a played character for the capture to be considered valid.
