The reason Feloszt exists is simple. We wanted to create a place where writers could share in our love for telling stories and building worlds. Heroes, terrible monsters, clever villains and spectacular landscapes are just a small part of what we envision. We want Feloszt to be a safe haven where creativity is nurtured within an established realm. We know that many writers seek out roleplaying sites to help cope with or escape aspects of their real lives. As your staff, we promise to strive for an environment where players feel encouraged to contribute to the world and, of course, create an epic tale for their characters. We know not everything will fit inside the world of Feloszt but it is our goal to be honest and compassionate in guiding writers towards an acceptable idea. It is also our deep desire to allow every character to have a hand in shaping the story of the world. We don’t want players to feel like they are just visiting Feloszt or a backdrop to something greater. Here, the writers are our greatest resource.
Dearest author, we welcome you and we can’t wait to read your beautiful words. Please read over the policies and rules we have set forth to help facilitate this vision.
1. Slander Policy: We do not condone and will not tolerate players slandering another player, roleplaying game or website or any of the people involved with those entities. Feloszt is designed as a safe place to write, create and be free of judgment. Any behavior which contradicts that will result in disciplinary action.
2. Player's Legal Responsibility: Every member of Feloszt is responsible for knowing and understanding the laws which govern his or her real life location. There are no exceptions.
3. Statement of Originality: Feloszt is a work of fiction. Everyone is influenced by other things. We’ve all read books, listened to music, and watched movies. While it is ok to allow these outside forces to influence and inspire your work, it is not ok to simply take an idea from something else and claim it as your own.
4.Godmodding: Defined when a player does not follow the rules of character creation or the reality of the setting and situations as it pertains to talents and knowledge.
5. Powerplaying: This is the act of controlling, impacting, or using another writer’s PC or an NPC without permission.
6. Metagaming: The act of using out of character knowledge in character.
7. No Roleplay in PMs: As it states, don't do it. We reserve the right to read any and all PMs to ensure that site rules are being followed.
8. Thick Skin: This is the internet. Sometimes, people say things or do things that could be taken as offensive or mean. Abusive language and other things that directly violate site rules will be dealt with by the staff. However, there will be shades of grey and times when rules will be bent but not broken. It is these instances that we ask for our members to all gain a bit of 'Thick Skin'. You can't let every little thing bother you and you can't take everything being said to heart. Please pick and choose your battles and decide ahead of time that you will not let other people ruin your fun.
9. Under 18: If you are a minor, we ask that you take a few moments to consider what your parents might think. There are adult themes on Feloszt. We encourage you to be open with your guardians about what you do and have them look over the site.
10. The Right Attitude: Be courteous to your fellow authors and the staff.
11. Be a Team Player: Do your best in a timely manner. No one expects perfection.
12. Communicate: If you have a concern, an idea, an issue, or a problem- please contact a member of our staff. We want to make sure everyone is heard and will do our best to resolve things as fairly as possible.
