Underworld Ralinwood Specific Policies

[Ivanna]

Retirement and Final Death

At any point, (including at their time of death but prior to flipping for final death), a player may elect to retire their character. If a player retires their character they will receive half the experience blankets they have already applied to that character (rounded down) to be used in one of two ways:

• Those experience blankets will be placed into a player's blanket pool
  
• The player may apply those experience blankets to a new Ralinwood character, or a Ralinwood character which has not appeared in game yet
  

It is important to note that a retired character does not mean a dead character. When you choose to retire you are giving the rest of that character’s story to the Shaper team and the decisions they may make with it may not always make you happy. If your character is important to you, in such a manner that it would bother you to see it’s ending written by another, then we strongly encourage you to take your resurrection flip and see it through to the true end. Anything that happens to your character after you retire it is in the hands of the Shaper team and you will not be allowed to play it unless asked to as an NPC.

Level 13 Retirement Cap

Once your character has reached level 13, you cannot “buy back” deaths via the soul frag book for that character. Characters who are level 13 or higher will retire as if they were level 12 no matter what level they currently are. There are no restrictions on when they may retire.

Possessions after final death or retirement

When you retire your character or suffer final death, all your character’s belongings and possessions that are not on your person, are to be immediately turned in to the Shaper team. You cannot decide what happens to your possessions after you have made that decision (or have had it made for you through final death). This includes your last will and testament, any secret documents or buried treasure you “would” have had on site or anything of the like. There is no issue with players willing away their items to other players so long as they have done it in game, it was documented prior to your death/retirement and that documentation was given to Shaper.

Ethics after Final Death

When you retire or final a character and create a new one, the roleplaying, goals, themes, motives and even friendships of that new character must be dramatically different from the old. We reserve the right to force you to change your new character’s roleplay if they are too similar to your previous character. If you do not heed this warning, we will force a remort on you. You cannot pick up where your old character left off and you should do everything in your power to avoid discussing your old character. This also holds true for two active characters you own at the same time. There can be no interaction between your two characters; this includes using a third party (another player) to pass on information, items or favours. Lack of integrity is what separates a professionally run LARP from an amateur one and we will do everything in our power to maintain it here at Underworld.

Grandfathering

Since we realize some of Ralinwood's players have already passed this cap without notice, we are happy to give you some leeway. Any player who has already reached Level 14 or above will be grandfathered under another kind of policy. We know who you all are. Please email contact@underworldralinwood.ca with questions.
