Rules and guidelines of the O&P game
About The Game
The Oaks and Pines role-play game although set in the present allows players to experience life in a traditional English girls boarding school of the late 1960’s, early 1970’s. The girls are subject to a strict discipline which includes corporal punishment, and misbehavior are swiftly dealt with.
Prospective players must be willing to make a continuing commitment to play the game. An example for an acceptable minimum commitment would be attending at least one class and writing three posts each week. Exceptions may of course be made for real life reasons. Posts must be at least five sentences long. One or two line posts are forbidden.
Remember, there is plenty of help and advice from experienced members
General Guidelines:
1. Members must be at least 21 years of age.
2. Using under age pictures and pornography are strictly forbidden
3. No references to BDSM, we do not permit such play.
4. All relationships between students and teachers are to remain strictly scholastic.
5. Girls are permitted to create boyfriends, best and easier if they come from the Residence du Lac, a neighbouring boy’s boarding school. Girls may play sex with their boyfriends as long as it remains in good taste. If in doubt, best to request help from an experienced player.
6. No player is required to participate in a play in which they have not previously agreed.
7. Teachers cannot punish students for offences that have not initially signalled in a contribution. For example, if a girl wants to make a mess of her homework she will have to post doing just that, or if she wants contraband to be discovered she must first describe hiding it.
8. Posting of OOC (Out Of Context) communications to our O&P list are to be restricted to a bare minimum.
9. mIRC appointments with teachers are to be discussed using private email addresses.
10. A role-playing game is like theatre – you see it all, you know it all, but you have to be careful before using what you know. You can’t use what you haven’t actually witnessed.
11. Our game is consensual, to establish your character and identify your own personal preferences and limits, you may e-mail your teachers privately.
12. No reposting of any O&P posts to other lists.
And finally, HAVE FUN !
