[Ninpocho Admin]

Basic RP Slot Rules

• All players have 4 Roleplaying Slots.
  • A player can buy more slots from the ASP shop if they desire.

• Village Kages have +2 RP slots, but they can only use these slots for threads that request the Kage's presence.
• Village Sennins have +1 RP slot, but they can only use this slot for a thread that requests the Sennin's presence.

• In addition players can also be in:
  • 1 Event OR Exam thread.
  • 1 Contract Search thread.
  • 1 Class OR Mentoring thread.
  • 1 Mission thread.

[Leaving A Thread]

• Must post with the "Topic Left" tag in the post.
• May be stopped by anyone in the thread from leaving within the same round of posting.
• Cannot use space/time jutsu or any other means to attempt to override being stopped.
• Only those in the thread when the player tries to leave may stop a player. No one can stop someone from leaving if the stop occurs on their entry post.
• One may utilize the Harry Houdini Card from The ASP Shop to circumvent these rules.

[Roleplaying Threads]

• General RP threads can be just about anything that you want as long as they make sense in your setting.
• General RP threads do not require a moderator, a DM, a battle mod or use run times.
• A General RP thread can become a Modded Situation when it requires a moderator, a battle mod or uses a run time.

[Modded Situations]

• A modded situation is defined as a thread that utilized as moderator (contract, tutor, class and mission), a thread with the implicit threat of battle (forced entry/exit topics and event threads), or a thread where a battle is in process. Entry into these threads may be restricted, for more information regarding these thread types, please refer below. Threads which already have a moderator (Tutor, Contract, Class, Mission, Events) are under the direct control of the moderator; they may change rules to suit the thread and they have final call on what happens in these threads. If you feel a moderator is abusing this authority, please contact an admin.
• The following threads are constituted as being a [Modded Situation]
  • A Moderated Battle.
  • A Class / Tutor session.
  • Exams.
  • A Mission.
  • Forced Exits/Entries/ Going Missing.
  • Events.
  • Contract.

[Battle Moderated Threads]

• A General thread becomes a Modded situation as soon as Battle Mod is called.
• You may only be in one Battle Moderated Thread at a time.
• Read more on this in the, Rules of Engagement thread.

[Tagged Threads]

• [Forced Entry], [Forced Exit] and [Going Missing]
  • Tags are used to pass the Village Gates using your run-time.
  • In accordance to Rules of Engagement These threads are recognized by default as Modded situations because there is an implicit threat of battle in a run topic.
  • See Travel Rules for more details.
  [Country Entry/Exit]
  • For entering and leaving a country using run-time (the only way).
  • When leaving a country, you cannot start any new threads within the village of the country you are leaving.

  • See Travel Rules for more details.
  [Mission], [Class], and [Tutor]
  • Mission, Class, and Tutor threads that come with OoC rewards all are in this category.
  • You may only be in one Mission and one Class/Tutor at a time.
    • One may perform a Self Modded Solo Mission and still partake in another Mission at the same time. This is the only exception to the ruling.
    • A teacher/mentor may choose to opt out of the rewards for a class in order to be in more than one, and the participants still receive the rewards.
  [Event]
  • Village/Site-wide topics that are run by either Council or Lorekeepers Team.
  • A player can forego any reward they might receive in the event and have an event thread occupy an extra RP Slot.
