Hello, and welcome to my first roleplay: Unsheathed Blades! This roleplay takes place in the year 1204 in Europe. Simply say what nation you would like to play as in the comments and I will add you. Current Date: April 1204 (Each irl day is 1 month in the rp) RULES: 1. Don’t be unrealistic. The level of technology in this roleplay is Medieval, so don’t rp with nuclear bombs, tanks, aircrafts and the like. When advancing up the technology tree, don’t conduct drastic changes that completely change the roleplay. Advance gradually. With the technology issue addressed, please roleplay relative to your nation’s strength and status. 2. Please keep your roleplay in-depth. I’m not suggesting you write 20 paragraphs, but try to roleplay in a complicated manner (include your methods, strategies, your troop count, what area you are advancing in etc.) Simple rp is unfair for other players who might be putting a lot of effort into their roleplay. 3. Please be respectful and mindful. Keep the chat clear of toxicity and bickering, and do not insult, threaten or annoy someone. Abide by the scratch community guidelines. 4. Don’t roleplay inappropriately. Please do not roleplay things not appropriate for the site, such as gory events of a battle, widespread genocidal purges, intentionally discriminatory rp etc. Keep the rp within the bounds of the Community Guidelines, safe and child-friendly. 5. When roleplaying, reply to your original thread. This makes roleplaying a lot easier to navigate and moderate, so please try to do this for the sake of efficiency. 6. If you would like to report somebody breaching the rules or would like to suggest the addition of a new rule, please contact me on my profile and not on the RP. Likewise, do not roleplay on my profile and keep your roleplaying on this project. 7. Please try to remain active. If you are inactive for a week (and own a powerful nation) I will notify you on your profile and ask if you would like to be removed. If you are not able to participate in this rp for one reason or another, or wish to leave the rp, contact my profile and I can remove you if you would like it. UI Layout On the left of the screen, there is a tag saying ‘MENU’. This is a portal to 3 different buttons, each of which do something different: Ongoing wars: Shows you a map of the Ongoing Wars, each one outlined in a specific colour. Alliances: Shows you a map (and the names) of any alliances. Show/Hide names: Shows or hides the names of the countries. In the bottom-right corner of the screen is a button with the text ‘NEWS’. This button is still in development and cannot be used. If you find any issue with the game (improperly laid out UI, error in code, someone breaking the rules etc.) contact me on my profile and I will try to sort it out.
