The Masses Have Spoken - RP Cities
GoldenMaiden
– 2008-11-20 10:49:19
The results of our poll are in, and the majority want RP cities that are specified and controlled. So, you asked for it, you got it!
Effective NOW the following cities will be STRICTLY RP:
Cueneo, Fate's Landing, Bladescross.
Cueneo will be a Town, and Bladescross will be the Sparring city, as it currently is. Fate shall be a Town also.
Staff Enforcement: Beginning that day, the STAFF, who will also, ALWAYS stay in RP, will begin to remind you to post only in RP. If your posts are OOC [Out of Character] or distruptive to role play, then you will be instructed to move to another city. You will be asked once, warned once if you continue, then MUTED until I release you, if you to not comply.
Here are a few tips for RPing, but you can find many more on the web.
Do:
Include lots of description and comparisons in your posts.
Use dialogue that other people can understand.
Use your addition bios to give a full description of who your character is, their history, etc. Songs and poems tell no one anything about your player.
Include movement such as walking, drinking, smelling, etc.
Use your character's five senses.
Describe the surrounding environment.
Research before you post. If you are responding to a particular topic, learn about it before you just make something up.
Remember to use good grammar, punctuation, and spelling. It is appreciated.
Be realistic. Its RP, but, the more realistic you can make it, the more that will accept it.
Chose an avatar for your character. Avatars really do have a lot to do with how much "action" your character can get from other players. If no one knows what you look like, they really don't think about you.
Get together with one or more players and build a scene or script in YoM or IM, then play it out in the city. Everyone will enjoy it.
If your player is “good”, act it, if you are “evil” be it.
How you enter the city matters. It sets a tone for your character.. “Sally enters.. “ is not going to garner much attention.. however, if Sally enters and then DOES something, it gives players a reason to react or respond.
Don't:
Take an insult to your character personally. It is just a character, insulting another character...that is all.
Break the rules of the Realm in your role playing.
Think your character is invincible. If they are, then they aren't a very good character. No one wants to role play with a god, especially if they always have to be right. Except for GM *laughs*
Get mad if you don’t get a boyfriend/girlfriend right away. The cities aren't meant as a dating service. RP romance is more than acceptable, but it takes more than 5 minutes of talking for people to fall in love.
Harassment is not role play. It’s just poor attitude.
Don’t ignore or be rude to “healers” [or other specialty characters].. they contribute greatly to the game; and Healers, if you have the power, show it in your posts, don’t just lay hands on and they are instantly healed.
Pouting, miserable, sullen, moody or negative characters are no ones idea of a good time.
Evil characters are good to have, but don’t go overboard by being an ass, there is a difference. Evil natured is not attractive if that is all you are.
On line posters – Don’t post one line and except the entire city to reply to it. Build into a convo with a few posts.
Sending, Huggles, kisses, pounces, etc to a character is not RP.. you can’t send a huggle over in RL, so why would you expect to in RP? If you want to huggle, etc someone, walk over to them and do it.. don’t forget to put the ‘action’ of doing it into your post.
Give it a couple weeks, then feed back would be appreciated. And remember, if you don't want to RP, go to another city or take it to YoM.
Enjoy - GM

CJ Design's !Jxyt
– 2008-11-18 11:10:49
First of all, Id like to thank all of you who helped us by reporting found mistypings so we could fix them.
Secondly, we have a request regarding this. When you find a mistyping or any other errors, please tell us (in a petition) what the problem is. Also, we'd like to ask you to include the URL of the page you are on, on which the problem has been found.
This so we can find them faster and thus can fix them faster.

Yes, in all cities (28 - 22.6%)
Yes, in certain named cities (76 - 61.3%)

Not in once city (0 - 0%)
No (12 - 9.7%)

Calling all Creative and Visually Artistic Citizens!!
Ever wonder about the faces you see lurking in the villages? About the different Clans, Families, Assassins, Saints, Feuds, Record holders and breakers and Staff? About who your love interest might be, or perhaps if you might be welcomed into a family, or adopt into your own family.
Perhaps you are looking for a faithful pet/companion or a loving Master. All that and so much more could be had -
*^-^*^-^*^-^*^-^*^-^*^-^*^-^*^-^*^-^*^-^*^-^*^-^*^-^*^-^*^-^*
The staff of Tynastera presents for the approval of all citizens a bi-weekly Magazine featuring player written Stories, Poems, Articles, Interviews, and Want ads.
However! This is much too big for GM to shoulder alone, so I am calling you ~ one and all, if you enjoy creating, writing, visual affects ~ then apply for a position on our Soon Coming Bi-weekly Newsletter ~ The Tynastera Gazette. Committee positions must be filled quickly and will be rotated out so that all who want to be apart of this historic all-inclusive Realm creation!
This newsletter would be updated every two weeks.
It will carry a wide range of columns and categories.
The "staff" of writers will come from the Players themselves.
The Newsletter would be available via PDF download from our Forum.
If you are interested in applying for a position on the Newsletter team, please submit your application to Donguri, Head of Creative, Ty. In your application include the Topic or Column you would like to be assigned. We can have more than one write per topic.

Forum Accounts
Chaos GM ¿Leonidas
– 2008-11-16 04:11:57
Many of you will now see a drop in members if you log on to the game forums.
This is due to the fact I have deleted and/or banned forum accounts for content not suited to the community Tynastera offers.
If you see any accounts that you believe do not meet the community standards contact a staff member and they will get it removed.
If any person is caught showing Content not viewable by all ages then you will be banned and not allowed back.
If you believe your forum account has been banned due to the range of the IP address then you can send in a Petition with your forum name, IP used and your contact email. The staff will then review each case and decide whether you will be allowed back on that IP Range.
For our Newest Citizens - UPDATED
GoldenMaiden
– 2008-11-13 16:22:45
.
NEW: We have created a special Misc. Item in our Equipment Shop, called GothicHope for those of you that may wish to pay homage to your past Realm.
First let me warn this is long, but I think worth your time in reading. Secondly, Welcome to Tynastera! We are sad for you, that your previous home is not available but are pleased that you chose to come to us. We hope you believe you made a good choice as the days more forward. In the meantime, I am writing this to help you learn your way around our fair Realm.
1. Read the Rules. Our rules are not much more than common sense and general respect, however, we DO have rules, and we DO take a few precautions to protect our younger citizens and request that you respect and protect them also. Ignorance of our rules will not help you down the road.
2. Tynastera Forums. If you have not yet, please register on our Forum [link on left Nav Panel] as requested in your welcome letter. This is not a request, but a requirement of being a citizen of Tynastera.
3. 18 and Older City We do offer an adult city, where rules and behavior are more relaxed. If you are 18 or older, and have registered on our forum, please petition for access. Access is a gift, not a right and can be withdrawn at any time. IF, per chance, you make an error when entering your birthday, and are found out, we will ban you from the site. As mentioned before, we protect our younger citizens, even from themselves.
4. City Tours on Forums Take a moment while you are on the Forum to visit Information/City Tours. This will show you what is where, city by city, on Tynastera and enhance your game play immensely. Of course, any staff is always more than willing to help also.
5. Cybering between adults and minors, together. As per our Rules, this is strictly forbidden and absolutely enforced. Minor to minor can do as they want. Adult to adult may also. But NO adult to minor. Thank you for understanding and heeding this rule.
6. Stat Transfers. You may petition for a stat transfer, though we have a max allowance.. but you must FIRST register on our Tynastera Forums with your full date of birth, as requested in your Welcome Letter or there will be no transfer. We give you up to our max of 100 KKs, some gold, some gems and set your HP.
7. HP CAP. Please be aware that we have a HP Cap on Tynastera. It is approx. 150 + 34 x KKs. Even if you purchase more, when you KK it will be reset and you will lose it without a refund of gems.
8. Color Names/Custom Titles. At this time, these are benefits of Donators and not available upon request. Once we show a track record for meeting our modest Donation Needs, we may reconsider. However, we do offer numerous contests to earn points, they are also earned in the Forest to a lower level and we offer them for referring players, doing special jobs upon request and our random Trivia Contests.
I’m sure that’s more than you wanted to read at this time, but I think it covers the basics. Again, welcome to our land and enjoy!

GoldenMaiden
– 2008-11-05 10:27:24
You might have noticed by now that we moved around many of the modules. I have updated the Tynastera Forums with a Tour of each city. Go there, and you will find each city listed, along with all the modules in that city and what they do. Take the time to review it and feel free to send me any feedback.
For a quick overview, Bladescross has most modules that involve fighting, Glorfindal has most of the shops, Cueneo has most of the fun playful things, and the others are scattered about.

~Constable – 2008-11-04 22:18:00
Do you use the Friend List to see the count of friends or friends names whom are presently on line? (This will be located to the right of your monitor on the majority of themes under character stats and can be enabled or disabled from Preferences.)
I am presently cleaning up the Friend List code and I will gladly take suggestions for any additional feature you want to see included. I already have one and you can find more here on this suggestion:
http://forums.tynastera.com/index.php?topic=305.0
If you have a suggestion, either post it in Idea Place on the Tynastera Forums or send me a Ye Olde Mail.
Thank you.

Modules on the Move!

While we are awaiting Constable's fix for the Streets module, we'll be moving around some things to make Cueneo less cluttered. So, if you can't find something, look around. Once I move them around, we'll try to post in the Tynastera Forum where everything is for now, but give me a couple days for that.

All Hallows Eve - LET THE BALL BEGIN!
Green Dragon Staff
– 2008-10-31 20:00:33
'Twas All Hallows Eve, and all through the Land
Many creatures were stirring, musicians gathering their bands
Masks had been donned, costumes picked with care,
A Ball was announced, and mystery filled the air;
The ghosts and ghouls were all hiding in wait,
Planning to devour all who ran late;
And Gem in her ball gown and Don in his cape
Awaited their guests, as the party took shape
From out of the forest there arose such a clatter,
They sprang from their thrones, expecting to see someone splatter.
Away to the window they flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the lake all aglow
Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to their wandering eyes should appear,
But coaches, and portals, and headless horsemen in full gear!
The gowns, the jewels, the masks and the wigs
On this special occasion, HellChild was dressed as a pig!
Elves all shiny, and Vamps deathly pale
They all held the promise, this Ball wouldn't be stale
More rapid than eagles their guests did arrive
Many counted as undead but some were alive
Shrieks and screams filled the air, blood curdling cries
Don smiled at Gem, “Yet another one dies...”
Don leaned out the window, and called to them all,
There’s drinks! There’s revelry! And it's all in the Hall!
Our mansion is haunted, our servants await,
If you dare, if you're brave, then step through the gate.
Our home is a haven, or coven to some
Our brews promise to please you, and make your brain numb
There’s dancing, romancing, and fun to had
We ask that you don’t argue, slay, or act all that bad!
As their guest filed in to the candlelit ballroom
Don and Gem waved to all, then each mounted a broom
“We hope you have fun, but we must leave now.
Know we will be watching.” then flew off with a howl.
So party away, and see who you meet
Just remember the rules, and please, wipe your feet.
