About Sasou Valley

[eltorian]

This game is for mature players over the age of 18 ONLY. Sexual scenes can and do occur in our game, and some of them can be a little unusual. We try to be open minded, and ask that our players endeavor to do so as well. Remember, if you don't like a scene that's going on, you don't have to take part in it.
The game is not about sex however. This game is for me and my friends to have something fun to do to relax, and get away from everything for a while. It has adventure, intrigue, comedy, romance, and pretty much whatever the hell else we feel like at any given time. If you make a character here, understand that you are a guest, not a customer. We don't have to cater to you, but we will try to include you and make sure you're happy if you prove to be a polite, friendly person, and you are able to show up and participate regularly.
Typically most players are on in the evenings (I'm personally on around midnight to 4am on the weekdays, EST), but play can take place whenever two or more players are online at the same time.
If you opt to make a character, you have two options. You can read up on the world that my friends and I are in the process of creating, and make something that fits, or you can pull in a character from some other world. Sasou Valley (the main location for the game) is gaining some notice as a vacation destination for those capable of traveling through space/dimensions. Whatever you choose, please be reasonable with it. Combat does occur, but I don't want to see some new, unproven player trying to bring in something insanely powerful. This is not Dragon Ball Z or some shit. If you're having trouble, speak with me, or wait for me to respond to your posted character sheet and I'll recommend any additions or changes that I feel need to be made so your character fits better.
If you found this by some means other than our irc channel, then the channel is #Sasou_Valley on sorcery.net

About play, and what to expect:

The game is done in freeform style. We use quotes ("Hello!") to indicate in-character speech, and asterisks (*Sits down.*) to indicate an action. Character names are typically typed in before the post with brackets (<Yuri>) so we can play multiple characters at once when needed, or talk out-of-character. When making a joke with a character, but done out-of-character, we omit the quotation marks.

When you have your character do something, please use common sense. Generally violence, rape, theft, vandalism, and other such unpleasantness is reserved for special story arcs where people involved know what to expect when they go into it. Keep in mind however that if you do something unwise with your character, there will be repercussions. An elf walking alone and without proper means to protect herself/himself in orc-controlled lands might find themselves getting enslaved or killed. Someone deliberately doing something to upset the royal family, or generally being a public nuisance can expect to have their character expelled from the valley. Further play at that point would be difficult unless they make a new character. Overall, as I said, use common sense... or when in doubt, ask first.
