[ARCHIVE] Game Rules and Community Guidelines

[GreekIdiot]

3. Controllers
Controllers are players who are either the primary storyteller of a nation or one of its secondaries. One is the lead, the others tag along. You can see the full list of available nations (and continents) on https://prtcy.com/library/.

1. Only 1 primary is technically possible per nation
   
2. Primaries have full control over the roleplay content and direction of a nation
   
3. Secondaries need to coordinate with the primary and conform to the primary's roleplay content and direction for that nation
   
4. Secondaries are only technically possible on nations which have a primary
   
5. Secondaries are automatically removed from a nation when the primary leaves or is removed
   
6. Only 11 secondaries are technically possible per nation
   

The maximum # of allowed primaries and secondaries per player is configurable by members of the mod team. This setting may change according to general community feedback, overall activity in the community and the decision making of the mod team itself.

3A. Requirements
To be eligible for a primary slot - meaning to be granted full control over the roleplay content and direction of a nation - you must:

1. Have above average sportsmanlike conduct - meaning you are generally cooperative and collaborative with most players, engaging, helpful and especially understanding of the difficulties, limitations and different points of view and roleplay styles of other players
   
2. Have exceptional respect for prior and established roleplay, especially if the nation you seek to control is not obscure/underdeveloped
   
3. Have exceptional respect for the cultural aspect of the game and cultural composition of nations
   
4. Have great standing as far as the community guidelines are concerned (here)
   
5. Have good standing as a player who does not abandon stories involving multiple players and/or jumps frequently between nations
   
6. In general, not roleplay with other nations you control as a primary or secondary controller in a way that changes the established characteristics or territory of either nation. Players may request moderation for input ahead of time on RP plans if there is any question.
   

If you're new to the game and the community, joining up as a secondary, first, is generally the way to go.
For any/all requests regarding Control-roles you need to provide context to what you're planning. (Tell briefly what you intend to do as a initial arc if you're going for a longer stay)

3B. Moderation
Members of the mod team:

1. Must review all requests on a case-by-case basis having the above requirements in mind
   
2. Must remove controllers who violate the community guidelines (here), as soon as possible
   
3. Must coordinate discussions on any disputes between primaries and secondaries from the same nation
   
4. Must remove primaries after 2 months of no roleplay
   
5. Can replace a primary after 1 month of no roleplay if another player requests the slot
   
6. Can change the # of allowed primaries and secondaries per player, at anytime
