I've been contemplating over some of the rules so here's updated versions.
1. No pre existing characters. This applies to both rping as naruto as well as another ninja from their village. things like squidkids and pokemon trainers are also out.
2. Prooobably gonna allow furries. thematically it kinda bugs me so anime still strongly encouraged, but i cant be fucked to play avatar police when there are so many shithead anime's out there too
3. No weapons. Use your fists if you need to fight but its generally not encouraged. I'm thinking also no death without express permission and an idea of the rp reasons why you want to. "I'm just done with this character" is not a good enough reason.
4. no loli's. duh No shota's either.
5. this is a public sim. if you lewd in public then dont get all bent out of shape when people cam you. That said, i think you should probably ask permission before barging in on two people lewding unless they're in like, the bathroom or something.
6. Fit with the sim. If you wander around in a skintight latex bodysuit, expect people to treat you like a lunatic IC.
At the moment i'm thinking people will just write up their characters in a pick on their profile. you can wander around with em before they're approved, just dont cause drama. reviewing them will mostly be to root out MC wannabe's and edgelords.
For the most part the sim will be low fantasy but androids will exist at about persocom level of unusualness.
ghosts are probably also gonna be allowed with people's spiritual awareness fluctuating. think dusk maiden or re-kan.

I'm not gonna doomsay (did that last thread already), just keep a really good eye on the situation.

yeah good plan. solid no is better on death.
the problem is that when i look at HH, its not overrun with furries, its just overrun with bad rpers in general (in addition to its myriad management problems). I dont think the sim is any better off having an exclusively anime population if they end up going "hey bby *smiles*" anyway.
One thing i've been thinking about as an experiment is completely open ban records. put them in the library in NC's or something but make it so that everyone can look up exactly why so and so was banned or warned or whatever. I figure that kind of openness will really differentiate us from HH... or destroy everything, who knows!

Staffing definitely needs to be worked on along with all this too. Part of the reason why HH is so fucking awful is the garbage staff. Warren wasn't even an anime, and he was the best admin they had. I miss Warren.

That's still on my watch list so if you're making a reference i'm missing it but yeah, its elite in that, you wouldnt be here in the first place if you werent l33t
>>16186
I dont want the records to be something used IC though, considering they'll be logs of when people got in OOC trouble. It'd be awkward to bring it up there.
we could log particularly good rp's and records of past events for IC purposes though. its a good idea.
No.16199
>>16196
I was thinking more like... subtle IC, like if someone's a dick then the logs could say they were expelled for being a disruptive influence. At least then even if people are getting banned, we can maybe springboard some stories and such off of that, or at least have passing IC conversations about them.
of course, if people decide to use information like that in a metagamey way then that's just poor RP and then they'll find themselves on the list too

I think the point behind it being explicitly OOC is so that everyone knows exactly why people were banned so it gives less room for banned people to start going "Oh I got banned because admin just didn't like me" or some shit like that. Less rumors, less drama, and the admins don't have to explain themselves to anyone "intervening" on someone's behalf, because they already explained it in the record.
It gives the admins a more visible appearance of being active in their duties, and from the trends in the ban log, it gives them the appearance of fairness as well. It says "No really we're not joking, don't do this shit". It's like a kid-friendly version of heads on pikes.
If it's treated as IC, then it can be misconstrued. The facts get blurred and people start to take it personally. That's where the drama comes in.

so i've been puzzling about what exactly the school should "be". Elite academy is a nice idea but it discludes a lot of character types. I'm thinking more now that it might be a school with an illustrious reputation, but the reality is something closer to a community college. maybe the place is down on its luck and had to lower entrance requirements, i dunno.
I'm also concerned about avoiding HH's trap of being a highschool dressed up as a university since that'll hopefully force people to be less of shrinking violet "p-p-penis" types.

No.18433
alright, these are the rules as of the current moment. this is what people are gonna find in a NC by the entrance. please point out anything that needs to be added, changed or expunged if you see it
==Daicon Official Rules======Subject to change as loopholes are discovered======
1. No pre existing characters. This applies to both specific characters as well as franchise specific races, professions, etc
EG: You cannot be Goku, nor can you be a saiyan at all. An orc is okay since they are generic fantasy, a moogle is not.
2. Anime heads are obviously encouraged for thematic consistency but every (non-macro) avatar is welcome. Furries are A-Ok but please keep the theme of the sim in mind. We are rural japan. If you wander around in neon raver pants, expect people to treat you like you are wandering around rural japan in neon raver pants (aka: a Fucking lunatic)
3. No weapons. Fistfights are fine but nobody should end up hospitalized ever. There are a million and one sims out there to beat each other to death, this aint one of em. No Character deaths either, no exceptions (playing undead or ghostly characters is a-okay)
4. No loli's. Duh. No shota's either. There are no fixed height requirements but mods may step in and tell you to change if you look dangerously underage. This is the one thing Linden labs does not fuck around with and neither do we.
5. No edgelords. The sim has like a lighthearted atmosphere, so excessively dark characters, motives, and storylines will be nixed. Think azumanga daioh or nichijou, not tokyo ghoul or whatever this seasons ultra grimdark super cereal anime is.
======I wanna RP here! What do i do?==========
Its very simple. Come up with a character, create a pick with a short bio of the character... And you're done. go rp with them.
Management will occasionally peruse them but unless you broke one of the above rules or your character is just hella stupid, you're good to go.
===Social Norms==========Rules that are mostly IC. you can break them but dont go nuts or people will bitch about you to the mods=
1. Pants. Nobody wants to wear pants, that's just how the world works. Streaking is a fine hobby, maybe losing your top at the beach, but no full time nudists please.
2. keep S&M on the downlow. Just like in real life, nobody wants to hear about your 24/7 power exchange relationship. do not walk around dragging your slave by a rlv chain or oh boy are you gonna get such a talking to.

By that logic, every sim should be dead as a doornail. It's not entirely Redo's choice to make in any case since LL is so nazi about it. Even with the benefit of Elin-like hips and the really-400-years-old excuse, caution in this regard is a virtue.

yeah, just to be clear, i absolutely do not give a fuck at all about loli's. I`m not a pedo but the whole "protect the digital children" argument is stupid when you have gor and vore and literal cannibal sims.
LL's rules though so no ren-chon knockoff for me.
No.18476
>>18462
It's really a legality/rules thing. I don't think LL really cares about protecting the digital children, either. They don't take action for similar groups. They have a rule about rape, but it's barely enforced, and I have not seen a single line about bestiality, despite that being almost on the level of pedophilia IRL (partner is not as intelligent, easily manipulated, can't truly consent, isn't sentient, can't communicate, and doesn't fully understand.) There are bestiality toys from the prim era still up.
No.18483
>>18476
I think it's primarily due to the fact that SL isn't entirely off-limits to children under legal age, and such users will often times will use a persona very close to their authentic selves, and therefore for every realistic-looking child avatar (that is, not half-dog or huge-hipped fairy or what-have-you), there's the potential that the user is no older than how the avatar appears.
That being said though, I think SL as a whole should absolutely be off limits to kids considering the reputation it's never going to be able to erase by now. No point in damage control anymore, just go full tilt into the lewd.

In the case of really "hands on classes" that require a lot of interaction, those are gonna get folded into clubs.

As someone who's recently been hanging around HH a bit, and found it utterly cringeworthy in every capacity, can I suggest a "NON-SUPERPOWERED HUMANS/FURRIES ONLY" rule? Because honestly I think that's what makes HH the most retarded fucking aspergers shithole.
e.g. No half-lamia shapeshifting demon spawn with magic missile bullshit.
Unless that's covered by the edgelord rule, in which case good job.

So, underwear and skirts are heavily encouraged?
