Isle of Illyros - Opening Soon

[Anarch Allegiere]

Chronicles of Counter-Earth: Isle of Illyros


Introduction
We are a role play sim based on the culture depicted in John Norman’s Chronicles of Counter Earth novel series, set on the planet “Gor”, and adapted with it’s own history, ongoing story, faction set and timeline.
Here are a few key points:

• Applications are required for every character, even ‘visitors’
• Standalone sim: The characters and storylines from other sims do not carry over here
• Conflict role play occurs on sim between players and factions, and is sometimes facilitated sometimes by “Game-Master”-controlled NPC characters and factions
• Death is permanent. No exceptions.
• Roles are restricted in order to maintain balance in the role play world.
• No combat meters are used here
• A role play dice combat system is used here
• We strongly enforce role play etiquette and expect characters to “look the part”

Sim Rules
Take a look here:
http://counterearth.enjin.com/simrules

Quick Lore:
A free port in the Thassa ruled by Merchants and a Merchant-Magistrate, under the distant rule of Cos. Tensions however seem to run high as notable high caste families and even legendary pirates are starting to get restless.

Goal:
Delivering a whole new experience unlike any gorean role-play sim you've seen before with a strong focus on storylines. A strong backbone of lore (still being worked on) and an active admin storytelling team that will bring you back to the edge of your seat while writing. Come live the real authentic gorean experience, feel like a part of the books.

Applications:
We would like to accept applications for characters while the sim is being built and prepared:

Woot! This looks promising! Sending in an app now.

[Anarch Allegiere]

The application form might undergo some slight adjustments over the coming days, but don't let that deter you from filling it in with what is there.

I would also like to highlight the featured roles we are recruiting for, most of them are still open for recruitment:

Could you elaborate on this part please? I'm having a bit of trouble understanding what you mean. Do you mean that all the slaves go to the baths, auctions, or slave houses?

Slaves:
Slave players are able to choose whether to immediately play or “queue up” until there are 3+ for various introductory events, such as auctions, and any not bought to be funneled into a tavern, bath or slave house.

This is an option we would like to have available for new role players wanting to play the role of slave or slave-girl. They can be brought into the sim through IC RP in batches, sold IC on an auction block. And if they're not bought there they can be taken to an NPC or other owner, in the tavern, baths or slave house.

Private slave-girls obviously won't be subjected to this. And unowned or rather NPC owned slave-girls don't have to do this either. It's but an idea or suggestion.

Okay thank you!

Just a small update:

Sim build is approximately 1-2 weeks away, at which point we'll open up the sim to be viewable (from skybox) as to give people an idea of the build. The sim itself will open a week later, as to give people time to prepare their characters and background stories.

In the meantime you can apply here:
http://counterearth.enjin.com/recruitment

And also have a look if any of our feature roles might interest you. These applications take a much loner time to review because we want to pick the most eligible candidate for every faction leader or notable featured character:

The combat dice rules have also been added (a simplified version of WCS):

You mention Visitor application to be different , where would one specify that on the form?

My idea was to make those available in the skybox once the sim was open through notecard form, but there is discussion to get rid of that and just make it the same 'full' app for all.

Bumping for hype.

Still accepting applications before we open up for RP (ETA 1-2 weeks).
