Rules of All Game of Thrones Roleplay Sims
1) The biggest rule in GOT is to have FUN. This being said, OOC drama between players is not tolerated. What this means is a 3 strike rule, if OOC drama is brought to the attention of the owners of the cooperative three times. The individuals involve will be met with and situation either is resolve or the players involve will be ban from all sims and the GOT main group. Drama puts a kink into the fun of IC’ly roleplay and we are all adults, please we ask you to resolve all situations without the use of gossip, rumors or bashing each other. Thank you for your understanding regarding this important rule.
2) In character: please try to stay in character when your meter is in roleplay mode and pay attention to those around you and the environment. (ie. If you are a bad guy/girl, remember to roleplay that role.)
3) No member can be of royal blood unless approval of the Head of the Royal House is given to the applicant. Any use of a royal name, needs to be approved by the head of the Royal house, (examples: bastard of a Tyrell, bastard of a stark, bastard of a Targaryen)
4) We believe that metered combat is great for battles, duels and tournaments, but first and foremost, we are about roleplay. Try to roleplay your conflicts and if you both agree to do meter combat.
5) We require the use of the Feudalism RPG Hud and Meter. It is useful even if you don’t fight. It has many other roleplaying features, including a pouch, currency, gathering, crafting, stealing, and works with weapons (only Feudualism RPG weapons) and any bow. If you are caught at cheating with the feudalism hud to gain XP, there is 0 Tolerance you will be immediately ban from all sims and GOT group.
6) Houses. One of the key thematic elements of GOT RP are its noble houses. We strongly encourage all noble born characters to play from one of the many known GOT Houses. We allow anyone to play in any of the houses from anywhere in Westeros. However, you cannot be the Lord or Lady of a house from a realm other than the ones currently represented of the kingdom for which you are applying.
7) There are several groups related to the GOT Cooperative:
Game of Thrones Cooperative Reborn Group (Main Group): this group is OOC only, notices are sent out pertaining to all updates, or events in the cooperative.
Kingdom Individual Groups (Individual Kingdom Group): OOC only, notices are sent out pertaining to all updates, and kingdom events.
Members have a mother sim (Sim they apply too), members are welcome to have the individual kingdom groups of the other sims if they have room for them.
8) No book characters. You can be a Tyrell or a Lannister. You can be named Tyrion or Ned. But you cannot play Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell from the books/tv show. The only name exceptions are Aegon, Rhaenys, and Visenya Targaryen, but they are “inspired” by the characters in the books, they are NOT the characters in the books.
9) Time line of Game of thrones Coop Reborn is 600 years before the existing show and books.
10) We ask all players that you post your RP limits in your profile. We are an adult sim in Game of Thrones Coop Reborn. GOT roleplays can be violate where torture, rape, battles and such can take place. In addition, incest, sexual roleplay scenes, battles among members of houses, etc will occur. There is 0 tolerance if an individual’s limits are not respected. If this happens, proof must be given in a log format. NO IM’s will be accepted unless all parties give permission for them to be copy.
11) GOT cooperative respect SL TOS we expect all members to follow the SL TOS at all times.
12) All avatars that come here must be adult, above the age of 18. NO avatar that looks child like will be accepted here at GOT, you need to acquire an avatar that looks adult. There is no negotiating this fact. This is base on Second Life TOS being we are an adult sim.
13) Animal Avatars: animals such as dogs, cats, wildlife will be approve on individual basis. Please refer the rules regarding animals. If you choose a cat, one must roleplay like a cat and not speak human nor understand what humans are saying, etc. Please keep your character as real as you possible can.
14) No gestures please, this can take away from the IC roleplay experience.
15) If you must go AFK, please do so away from any roleplay that is taking place. In addition, OOC mode, if you must be OOC and there is existing roleplay taking place. Please remove yourself from the area of the roleplay taking place. AFK or OOC greatly disturbs existing roleplay that is happening. Please be respectful and have courtesy to your fellow roleplayers.
16) no werewolves, bloodlines, furries are allowed on the sims. We do not recognize nor allow Bloodlines (BITING). Thank you.

Feudalism Information:
Knighthood is up to the individual sim to decide how that works, in Highgarden one must squire to obtain knighthood and you cannot come in as a knight. but that is not to say another kingdom will not allow you to do such.
