STAFF AND STUDENTS STILL WANTED!!
I know I know,
lots of people will cry out loud "oh gosh not another roleplay school on the
grid!"
But after the rather dissatisfying experiences we made with other
schools in SL where good RP was seen as a nuisance at best, and as griefing at
worst, the RP school I help my friends to found -
- the Rising Phoenix
High School -.
.
- will be entirely different..
.
1.The semesters,
including holiday breaks, will be 2 RL months long. Not one month, not six
weeks, but two entire months.
2.It will be strictly roleplay. Students
and Staff will have to apply for the school, providing some kind of background
story for their character. The focus will be on roleplay, not on actually
learning the subjects.
3.The usage of Gestures and short message style
abbreviations will not be tolerated. So, no "lol", no "rofl" "y r u so srz"
while roleplaying. There are a few exceptions though, like "((brb))" "((wb))" -
in double brackets for OOC - and like all OOC talk tolerated only as long as
it's seldom, short, and not disturbing the roleplay. Another exception will be
special gestures for the cheer team once we have one.
4.We strive for
"realism" - so: no vampires, no elves, no drows nor mermaids, no mutants, no
shapeshifters, no aliens, no robots. Human Avatars only. We may allow Human Like
Avatars under special circumstances, but ONLY with express permission from the
Principal and or Admin. ((please speak to Bernd Teardrop or Arr Silverweb to
discuss this.))
5.If you want to play an animal on the school grounds,
act like one - which means you won't be able to talk IC'ly. you won't be able to
attend or give classes, you might even be chased out of the building and from
the fields. Maybe one of the students or staff can interprete your emoting,
barking, mewing, growling or whinnying, based on their experience with you or
your species, but that's it.
6.The moment you leave the OOC skybox and
enter the school area on the ground not wearing an OOC visitor tag, you'll be
seen as "in character", and expected to follow the IC
guidelines.
7."Striving for "realism"" and "strictly roleplay" also
means: Flying will be disabled, voice will be disabled. Vehicles can only be
driven on the school grounds if you plausibly are allowed to drive them. Rezzing
will only be tolerated in certain, plausible circumstances. And teleports to
classrooms will be an exception, not the rule.
8.Basically everything
else goes (within the limits set by TOS and LL's Community Standards) if you're
ready to accept the IC consequences for it. As soon as trouble swaps over to OOC
though, the consequences will be OOC too.
So... what's
needed:
•Students: - You'll apply for your matching grade group
(Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior)
•Teachers: - all subjects welcome, but
remember the focus is on RP.
•Other staff - like councelor, nurse, cook,
janitor, ...
Since there is still a lot to do, we plan on opening the
school for the public in late September, with the first semester beginning Oct
1.
If you are interested, contact either me (Alexandra Actor), or Bernd
Teardrop (current Principal of RPHS), or Arr Silverweb (current VP and first
teacher at RPHS).
