One: First and foremost is that whatever goes on in the room most not be took seriously, arguments or fights or anything similar should not be taken seriously.
Two: Please, please ask whomever you are RPing with if you can fight, mind probing ( For violent intent) or anything similar before you actually do it.
Three: Try to keep to as little ooc (in ‘think’ bubbles) in the room as possible, if you want to talk to someone, please PM them rather then disrupting any RP that’s going on.
Four: Before you talk to someone make sure they are in the room, for instance you may see that Pandora is in the room but that doesn’t mean she has entered yet, PM the person you want to RP with or mention to make sure they have entered and to prevent confusion.
Five: Try avoiding doing a post that doesn’t allow the person to react to what you have done for example: Walks up behind her and pulls her by her arms to the sofa, putting her down then sitting beside her and throwing the book into her hand. This doesn’t give the person you are Rping with a chance to reply, perhaps she didn’t want to follow you to the sofa, but now she has to because you have said she does.
Six: Don’t assume that the person/persons you are Rping with are going to do something, for example: He quickly takes the book from her but she glares at him. Again, maybe she didn’t want to glare at you.
Seven: No one can kill another person without that person’s permission first.
Eight: No one can drink from another person without that person’s permission first.
Nine: Do not bring others into the room through them tagging you or the like. If someone wants to join the group give him or her the site URL and ask him or her to look at the available page. That will tell them who is free and what to do.
Ten: The location is Santino’s Villa. When the room is open it is Santino’s Villa, you can RP your character outside his Villa of course, for instance walking to or from or going out to feed or think. However, unless it has been arranged it is always in Santino’s villa, which I am all; sure you know is in Florence, which is in Italy.
Eleven: If you dislike someone in the room go ahead and don’t like them. No one is stopping you, argue with them do what ever you wish (seeking their permission first if it is fighting, mind probing, drinking ect). It puts on for a good show for the rest of the vampires in the room, but please do not turn it into a personal RL fight. This is pointless, if you don’t get on with someone in RL the best thing you can do is ignore him or her.
Twelve: Some of the other Vampires live in effect in Santino’s Villa. Or rather they live in parts of the Villa that are not connected to the main house itself. Further onto his land. Unless arranged RP does not take place in their personal houses, please seek permission before entering one of there homes first in offside RP in the room.
Thirteen: I know some of you don’t like Santino, but please, respect his home and things. The sofas in the room he doesn’t mind being thrown around in fights and things like that. The occasional tipped over sofa, armchair or table is fine. And of course the fire you are all welcome to poke throw in more logs ect.
Fourteen: Around the room the dogs will probably be strolling, a Irish Wolfhound, Doberman, and a West Highland Terrier. Of course you may pet and play with but do not kick or hurt any of them. If you don’t like them, shoo them away.
Fifteen: If you have a permanent character and a semi-permanent you are of course welcome to bring them in the room at the same time as long as you are able to keep up. Please come into the room under the screen name of your character to avoid confusion.
Sixteen: And this is very important. We do have young kids coming into the room, I ask that you please take serious sexual acts to a private room or to a PM where young eyes can’t see this going on. A Hug, a kiss among other things are acceptable. Anything that would lead the mind to believe the clothing has come off and that wild animal sounds should be heard, MUST BE TAKEN TO PM OR TO A PRIVATE ROOM, there is no getting around this.
Thank you for reading this. Any suggestions welcome, please send them to Santino And please please abide by them, break a rule a few too many times and you will have to be banned.
….Santino….
