| [Mod Post] Rule changes about Intersteller Travel and Things |
[Dec. 2nd, 2011|11:06 am] |
Listen up, all you space/time/dimensional travel type pups!
We've been kind of 'on a case-by-case basis' when it comes to space travel, and that's problematic in some ways. So we're clarifying and solidifying some rules to make them more universal and fair and whatnot.
Space Travel
1.) You have to give the mods a heads up. We don't want to move the entire game into space, so we may put caps on the amount of ships in the game.
2.) You need a ship, and there haven't been any leaps forward in technological advances. You can't find the plans on the internet and build one in your basement.
3.) If your ship needs fuel, you need an explanation of how you got a hold of it. It doesn't have to be scientifically sound, or anything, but there has to be something.
Time Travel
1.) Once again, you have to check with the mods first. Like space travel, you'll need to have the ship/device/whatever.
2.) It isn't going to be a game-wide thing. The whole game will not go into the past. You can't post comm messages from the future. Unless otherwise specified, time-travel is restricted to logs, and we don't want large groups going together.
3.) No changing the present without permission from the mods (and everyone who would be involved in the change).
Dimensional Travel
1.) Again, it needs to be approved by the mods, and methods have to be in place. This one we will police a lot more.
2.) Again, this is something we would like to remain strictly in logs. It shouldn't affect the rest of the game without special permission.
SUPER IMPORTANT RULE FOR ALL OF THE ABOVE
The overriding rule here is You cannot go home. The TARDIS cannot take Leia through space and time to see her parents on Alderaan. The Millennium Falcon can't take Zelda and Kirk to the planet Vulcan to find Spock. Ponies cannot stumble across a device that sends them back to PonyLand.
Just like the rest of UTR inhabitants, their homes don't exist here. Think of it kind of like the whole Ratman/Z-Men thing.. They might have a slightly different planet... Scmalderaan, or whatever, where things are similar, but not quite. You cannot go home.
Keep in mind.. UTR-Earth is now everyone's home. We don't really want all the Whovians to go off and decide to live on Ballifrey. If we need to have some kind of interstellar tractor beam that pulls everyone back to UTR-Earth after they've been away too long, we can do that, but we'd rather you guys police yourselves. We trust you guys to be awesome. |
