Kingdom Rules and Regulations
These rules and gudelines for Tintagel are presented so that you know what is expected in the Kingdom of Tintagel.
:::Tintagel Group Chat::::
The chat is for the purposes of uniting all Tintagel Kingdom members, so that we can ask questions, post responses, share helpful information, and enjoy each others company.
Please note: To be on Second Life you are required to have provided proof to LL that you are at least age 18 years or older. EVERYONE in the chat will be treated as an adult, not a minor.
As adults, you have previously encountered colorful language, sexual innuendo, mock-violence and aggression both in RL and SL. You will encounter these from time to time in Tintagel chat, though we do our best to keep such things to a minimum. We apologize if these offend you in anyway, and encourage you to simply close out chat or mute the person who is offending you at the time. If you find something to be particularly offensive, please notecard the situation and let Gaelyn Seomun and AquaMarine Alter know. If you feel it necessary to address the issue personally, please do so privately, and politely, and notecard that conversation as well.
Spamming and any advertising for SL or RL clubs, businesses, sims, and events is not allowed. This includes links to personal SL or RL blogs, photo albums, networking pages, and websites.
If you care to share these links or advertisements with members of the group, do so in IM's, or contact Gaelyn Seomun regarding posting the information to the kingdom website at no cost.
Copy/pasting conversations between yourself and anyone else or conversations that took place in a group chat is not allowed. Please note, this is not only a Kingdom rule, but part of the Linden Labs Community Standards.
Copy/pasting jokes, links, song lyrics, and any content from websites OTHER THAN TinyEmpires.com, the kingdom website, and the Tiny Empires Wiki is not allowed.
All group chat is considered OOC where roleplay is concerned. DO NOT RP IN CHAT. This includes excessive use of language involving your race, gender, avatar type, and personal relationships {examples: Human/Alien/kid/Neko/Furry/ Dom(me)/Sub etc} While we respect your choices to portray a character in a specific set of circumstances, and avatars of all types are always welcome, chat is not the place for RP and in-character speech (ex: kid talk, Master/Mistress and sub/slave, etc).
Making comments about other people (Kingdom members or not) that degrade and/or belittle, telling stories or making comments of a personal or public nature that would cause hurt, making jokes and poking fun in a private/personal or public nature that would make someone uncomfortable, or being generally rude and/or obnoxious towards anyone in the chat is considered Griefing, and will not be tolerated.
Using abusive language, or EXCESSIVE foul language is not allowed.
Please remember that this is a GROUP chat. Things said will be heard by many people at once, and chat is often logged. Those logs can be used at someone else's discretion, and you have no choice in the matter. Please keep personal conversations to IM's.
::::On Tintagel Land::::
This is a place for everyone to relax and enjoy each other's company.
Please do not spam the land or event with incessant gestures, advertisements for your club, location, or group.
Griefing (Making comments about other people {Kingdom members or not} that degrade and/or belittle, telling stories or making comments of a personal or public nature that would cause hurt, making jokes and poking fun in a private/personal or public nature that would make someone uncomfortable, or being generally rude and/or obnoxious towards anyone) will not be tolerated.
Roleplay has a definite place in many SL lives, but the kingdom land is not the place for it. While we respect your choices to portray a character in a specific set of circumstances, and avatars of all types are welcome, the land is considered OOC at all times. This includes avatars and roleplay of ALL sorts, including, but not limited to child avies, neko, furries, alien, robots, cartoon, BDSM and D/s, etc. Avatars are welcome, roleplay and excessive In-character speech (ex: kid talk) is not.
::::Kingdom wide::::
On principle, we consider sabotage both a waste of money and a needless crime against other players. We prefer to help support other TE players, rather than resort to underhanded tactics to damage them. The decision to do so, however, is your own. Just note that the Queen and Grand Vicereine do NOT condone such actions.
Trying to recruit players from other Kingdoms without the offer to bribe them on your HUD is considered Fishing/Poaching by many. While we encourage you to find OTHER methods of recruitment to build your tiny empire, we insist that if you do fish, you do not use crude language, insults, or empty promises- regardless of what the target says or does- to sway anyone to your line.
Tintagel is a kingdom built on the ideas of hard work and care and concern for fellow TE players, of any rank, any kingdom. We are always happy to help one another within the kingdom, however, we will not build your line for you.
We will not take excuses or explanations as to why ANYONE should 'give' you a subject, or move a subject to you.
When, how, who, why you recruit...or if you never do...is up to you. This is YOUR empire to build, in the ways that suit you best.
::::Issues within the Kingdom::::
With many different players of all personality types, it is no surprise that clashes between personalities or issues with other players will arise.
If you have an issue (personal, regarding TE, or otherwise) with any other player, it is not to be announced to discussed publicly in the group chat.
If your issue is with your liege, please contact Gaelyn Seomun for assistance. We work hard to make sure everyone is happy within the kingdom, and occasionally a switch is necessary to ensure that. We work to find you a liege that you are comfortable with and can grow under.
Personal issues among players are left just that...personal, until it is brought to our attention or it begins affecting other kingdom members adversely.
Tintagel Empire Group has an Officers role (Tintagel Guardian) to help invite players to the group, give tags, and moderate chat.
The Grand Vicereine and Queen decide on how to handle matters arising from issues within the kingdom.
The Queen has the final say on who is banned from the kingdom.
