The
first and foremost rule of this holt is to Have Fun! Other
rules are as follows to help keep the game enjoyable for all:
New
character generation is closed.
Use
the links below to skip to a rule category:
|
| 1. |
Provide
a valid e-mail address. Our RP venue is e-mail based, and I
can't admit your character to the holt if I can't get in contact
with you. I will not take the time to hunt down your correct
e-mail address if you provide one that is not valid or bounces. |
| 2. |
No
Pini characters. No exceptions. Sure, it might be fun to play
Cutter, Leetah, or Skywise, but this holt is for original characters
only. The same rule applies to both elf and human characters. |
| 3. |
Only
up to three characters (elf, human, or bond) will be allowed
to have a word in their name. For example, if we have characters
named Starsong, Winterstar, and Stargazer, you will not be allowed
to make a character with "Star" in his or her name. |
| 4. |
No
High Ones allowed. The High Ones (except Timmain) are dead and/or
missing and are nowhere near our holt. Players are also not
allowed to make half-breeds (like Timmorn or Two-edge) or excessively
old characters (3000 turns is the limit for now--these are wolfriders,
after all!) |
| 5. |
Wandering
characters are no longer being accepted in Stormrise Holt. Your
character must be a life member of Stormrise until further notice. |
| 6. |
A
griffin-rider character must have been born at Stormrise Holt
or must have lived at the holt for at least four full turns.
Also, please keep in mind that Griffins do not bond with elves
until they reach maturity, around age 100. |
| 7. |
A
new member is only allowed to play one character to begin with. You may choose a human or an elf character, but please be aware that, at this time, humans and elves have not met in our plotlines.
New members will also have a one month probationary period.
If you've shown you can participate actively during that time,
you will be given the privelege to create or adopt another character.
No player may have any more than three characters total. Keep
in mind that if you play more than one character, you must be
active with all of them. |
8. |
Magics
and skills available are limited to what is on the CIS form
and are first-come, first serve. If you have an idea for a
magic you'd like to have that isn't listed, let me know, and
I might make an exception. However, I reserve the right to
refuse if I don't think it will work out. |

1. |
This is
an R-rated Holt. That means there might be a few situations
that might be offensive to some. Elves and Humans in Stormrise
might experience violent and/or sexual situations. Please keep
these things in mind before you join. Any such situations are
expected to be handled tastefully. Use of overly graphic violence
or the use of pornographic language and/or material will
not be tolerated and will be grounds for immediate expulsion
from the Holt. |
2. |
Holt Members
are required to post for their characters once a week at the
very least. Posting more often than this is preferable. |
3. |
If you
own more than one character, you are required to be active with
all of them. If you don't post regularly
for all of your characters, you will be asked to put your inactive
characters up for adoption. |
| 4. |
Don't
hold up the plot. If you're involved in a thread, post in a
timely fashion. Other members are depending on you to keep the
story going. If something comes up and you're unable to post
for a while, let me know so I can play your character for you.
|
5. |
You
are not allowed to play another player's character or their
bond in any way, shape, or form unless you have permission
from that player. If you do so, you will be warned. Repeated
instances of playing others' characters without permission
will get you removed from the holt. |
6. |
I understand
completely that Real Life can interfere with one's playing
time--so if something comes up that keeps you from playing,
I won't be angry with you. However, if you know you will be
away and unable to contribute for a while, please let me know,
either via e-mail
or the forums.
Failure to do so may result in your being removed from the
holt. I will hold purges from time to time to remove inactive
players. A purge may or may not be announced in the forum,
so be sure to contact me if you will be inactive to avoid
losing your place in the holt.
My definition
of an active player is one who posts regularly and makes an
effort to interact with other members' characters and to participate
in plots. Throwing your character into a post where here or
she is off alone somewhere to say you've posted isn't being
active.
Characters
of players who have been inactive for quite some time and
who have been purged will be subject to placement on the Adoptables
list. Don't expect me to kill off your character when he or
she is integrated into society. |
7. |
New members who
do not post an in character posting to the group RP within one week of joining will
be removed from the holt, and their character will be placed
up for adoption. |
8. |
A leader
may create a holt, but the members of a holt help to bring
it to life. I encourage member players to be creative. I encourage
you to interject your own side plots and events into existing
storylines--after all, what fun is RP if you're just reading
a script a HM tells you to read? I don't call that roleplay
at all!
Please
keep in mind, though, if you want to start something "big"
that is going to change the face of this holt, will threaten
this holt or threaten to kill any elfin or human character,
it needs to be approved by me first. |
9. |
Lovemating
and/or lifemating is to be left up to the players. Recognitions,
however, will be chosen at random by the holtmistress.
A player
can not have his or her character become pregnant outside
of Recognition. |
10. |
Do not
send spam, e-mail chain letters, "virus warnings"
or other junk mail to the list. Doing so will result in your
removal from the Holt. |
11. |
Keep forum
topics focused on holt or ElfQuest related topics. |

Art
and Fan Fiction submitted to Stormrise Holt must be original
-- don't steal someone else's art or fiction and claim it
as your own. I will refuse and/or remove any such work, and
submitting such work can be grounds for your removal from
the Holt. |
2. |
Please
keep art and stories tasteful. Overly graphic or pornographic
material will be rejected. |
3. |
Preferred
format for art submissions is a 72 dpi .jpg. You may e-mail
your submissions to me.
|
4. |
Art and
Fan Fiction submitted must pertain to Stormrise Holt. Pictures
of elves, humans, or griffins from other worlds, etc will not
be accepted. |
5. |
If you
commission someone to draw or color artwork for you, be sure
to give the artist proper credit for his or her work at the
time of its submission. I am not responsible for any improperly
credited art due to someone not following this rule. |
6. |
I will
accept dolls/dollz as an art submission, provided you have dressed
the doll yourself. If you have made a doll on a base that is
not your own, you must give proper credit to the individual/site
where you got the base. I will not accept drag-n-drop submissions
or dolls or dolls that have been made via "frankendolling"
(cutting up others' dolls to make one of your own). |
7. |
By submitting
your work for placement on the Stormrise Holt website, you grant
your permission for its use on this Holt site, even if your
membership in the Holt should cease for any reason. |

fit and/or necessary. I will always notify the holtmembers of
any changes made to these rules.
