Added by Stalker


Signatures


"Sigs" are permitted for use on the board by all members, they are to be no more than 490x130 pixels, anything over this will incur possible warnings if not removed.

Members are only permitted to use one sig at a time.

Do not make requests for image editing programs on this forum, as we do not supply them here.

The code to display sigs in your profile is: <>IMG SRC="youraddresshere">.

Clans


Requests to join clans may be submitted after two weeks of active posting have been conducted in Alien or Predator Franchise related topics, meaning posting in topics that do not include the Off Topic Thread.

Clans can only be accessed by members once they have been granted permission by the Leader or Sub-Leader.

Request to join Clans in the Official Request Topics only, any other topics created will be deleted.

A member may only be in one Clan at a time, with the exception of "Sanctuary of the Clans", which moderators are only allowed access to.

Leaving a Clan to join another will more than likely result in the original Clan Leader not allowing you to return afterwards if you change your mind.

The Leaders & Sub-Leaders for each Clan are as follows:

-The Hive (Xenomorph) : FireHunter/Daveberg/Crow
-Shadow Serpents (Xenomorph) : -Bloo-/Angus_Alien
-Balatu (Yuatja) : The_Doctor/Stalker/Deathdrop
-Hunter's Moon (Yautja) : Concretehunter/ScarredShadow
-Alpha Draconis (Human) : Peterson

Extinct Clans:
-Weyland-Yutani Corp Military
-Silent Assassins
-Dark Blood Organization
-The Hive
RPGs





RPGs are stories written collectively by the site members with the characters of those members being physically involved in the storylines.

Members are able to fight & kill each other during the RPGs, although you must wait until you have made at least 5 posts in battle before attempting to kill another participant, meaning 6 posts in total. At 6 posts you cannot automaticly kill the other member, you must factor in injuries received from the battle as it goes on. IE. If your character is critically injured by missing limb you cannot magically jump up and power attack your opponent as if you received no damage at all. that is considered god-modding, You may Kill NPC characters such as random aliens roaming around in one turn However all active players must observe the 6 post rule, Just because you attack first does not mean you're going to win the fight!!!!! You can read the Litany of Fire RPG battle between FireHunter and Peterson for clearification on possible outcomes from both sides of the fight.

Cheating in RPGs, such as making your character unrealistically strong, or altering the storyline in unfeasible ways will not be tolerated, & your posts will be removed in cases like this.

Setting up a storyline & tense beginning is crucial to all RPGs, do not begin to fight or attempt to kill other members until at least after the first 4-5 pages.

Members are only permitted to play as an alien, predator, or marine (as well as synthetics), this includes several alien variations, such as facehuggers, chestbursters, predaliens & "runners".

Ignoring damage dealt to your character may result in the deletion of your posts.

Newer members or ones with a lower rank should feasibly not be able to defeat higher ranking members. The stats themselves are loosely used in rpg's. A members overall rank is what is important. (i.e- a veteran member has a rank of 60 while a newborn member is only at 10.) Therefore a member that is rank 10 should typically pose little to no threat against a member who is much higher rank.

Equipment, is earned via points from staff operated RPG's equipment can be utilized in any way shape or form that the member may desire however, if a member is not a high enough rank to use a specific item and they utilize it anyways you will be asked to edit your post, failure to do so will result in deletion of your post and possible removal from the event.

Age Requirements, at this time there is no age requirement to partake in our staff hosted RPG's but you are strongly encouraged to use proper grammar, in other words if you start typing your posts like this "An Den Peterson Killd him with gun" your post may be deleted.

If a staff member asks you to revise your post please do so without complaint or issue, failure to do so may result in removal from the event.

If you have any Questions comments or concerns please feel free to contact myself or another staff member.
