This is the basic rules and regulations by which we want all members to play by.
~~~~~OOC~~~~~~
1) Always try to make good impressions while grouping not with the kin. You are our ambassadors to the world.
2) Officers and leaders were chosen for a reason, respect them.
3) Speak intelligently, as a semi-rp kin we expect you can use complete sentences and punctuation.
4) Be open to Role Playing. You don't have to do it yourself be we do NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES accept anti-rp folks into our kin.
5) Do not discriminate in any way.
Now a few pet peeves some people have are as follows (Note: these are just things to watch out for.)
Too many acronyms in kin chat (or around us for that matter). It seems downgrading to your intelligence on occasion and does not fit with the semi-rp feel.
Lore-unappropriate names. This is a big one that we feel is plaguing the game. Lollerdwarf and Thisiscaketown will not be tolerated. Same goes for William Wallace, Luke Skywalker and Jiim McGee. Please, keep with the theme.
Now this one is probably the most important. Keep with the theme of the kin. We are the Keepers of the Shire, not the run around bree jumping up and down club. Our duty is to protect the shire and keep it's wholesome simplistic feel we have learned to love (IC and OOC).
That is all! The number 1 rule though is to have fun!!!
