This is where moderators will make necessary and important announcements. This thread will always be closed.

The official setting is shortly after the Partition of Babylon in 323 BC, shortly after the death of Alexander the Great. Phillip III has been crowned as Basilieus of Macedon and his half-brother's massive empire. Roxana is pregnant with the future Alexander III.

Secondly, no historical figures will exist (save those listed above; Phillip III and Princess Roxana).No one can play a historical character, but players may make up a fictional character in place of any Diadochi (Seleucus, Ptolemy, Antigonos, etc etc). It is recommended to make up an original character however, though it is not required.

Third, our characters (the player characters) are the Generals, Secretaries, Bodyguards, Friends, Vassals, etc of Alexander the Great, rather than Ptolemy, Cassander, Antipater, Antigonos, Seleukos, etc. Our characters, as stated before, replace the historical figures. All characters were present at the Partition of Babylon, served Alexander previously, paid homage and allegiance to Philip III. Everyone's character must be a person who served Alexander the Great in any of the above functions (General, Secretary, Bodyguard, Friend, Vassal, etc etc).

Alexander was the one who was made legendary, while all of us gained great reputations and prestige. Now that Alexander is gone, its our time to become as legendary as he is, if not more! This era will ensure that rise to legendary status for all of our characters and dynasties.

And lastly, please adhere to ToS protocol, the Player's Code of Conduct and the judgment of moderators. This is meant to be a fun roleplay for everyone, so please have fun and make it so for others. Don't annoy or tick off people for the fun of it, such behavior will not be tolerated. Be fair and show good sportsmanship.

And most of all, have fun, fellow Roleplayers!

Just an announcement for everyone.

Any and all RP that is done must be conducted by making posts in publicly view-able threads. Any RP that is done by private messages will be considered invalid and it is a form of metagaming. The same applies to any RP posts made in moderated (not open to the public) groups that are hosted here on TWcenter.

The reason for this is simple, transparency and record keeping. Everyone must be able to access your posts, especially the moderators of your RP. Private messages can be deleted and a mod cannot confirm if Rp that happens in post is done using OOC or other illegal information if he cannot even access the Rp posts themselves.

You may say, oh, you can just edit out meta-gaming RP from a publicly made post before a mod can check it but remember that moderators are able to view that post's edit history so nothing can be hidden from us in that regards.

For anyone who is concerned that other players are using your information that is posted publicly and known about OOCly to plan their own RP, then you should inform a mod about your concerns, not look towards private messages as you, yourself are now metagaming.

This is all in the effort of fairness four our playerbase. It is not fair if one player resorts to RPing through PMs because he or she is afraid that others may use it agaisnt him or her while everyone else is making their posts publicly. There is nothing wrong about planning your RP with other players through PMs or groups but you must put that plan into action in an IC manner.
