The roleplay of Alcris is headed by the Culture Councilor.

The Culture Councilor may appoint a team of up to two other members to form the Roleplay Administration Team (RP Admin Team) of Alcris.

1. Roleplay Admins have the same powers and responsibilities as the Culture Councilor, however the Culture Councilor is able to override their decisions.

2. The Culture Councilor is able to dismiss and appoint Roleplay Admins at their discretion.

3. The Roleplay Admins are responsible for creating lore when needed, maintaining roleplay continuity, enforcing roleplay rules, and keeping the roleplay realistic.

The Culture Councilor is also able to appoint any number of Roleplay Developers.

1. Roleplay Developers are responsible for taking tasks to develop the lore of Alcris. They have no say in roleplay rules, policies, or enforcement.

2. Roleplay Developers take instruction from the Culture Councilor and the Roleplay Admin Team as a whole.

3. The Roleplay Admin Team will create jobs, and post the details to the Roleplay Developers.

   1. Roleplay Developers will accept jobs at their own discretion, and will be tasked with completing those jobs.

   2. Jobs are to be on a first-come, first serve basis.

   3. Roleplay Developers are required to fulfill one job every two weeks. Failure to do so will result in automatic termination unless excused by the Culture Councilor.

4. The Culture Councilor is able to dismiss and appoint Roleplay Developers at their discretion.

Nations must be a citizen to join the roleplay.

Nations who want to join the RP must fill out a Roleplay Application Form created and/or maintained by the Culture Councilor.

1. The Roleplay Application Form must be linked in the Roleplay section of the Master Dispatch.

Roleplayers must have access to the Regional Message Board. Members are encouraged to join the Discord too, however it is not required.

Each roleplayer may only control one nation.

1. Exceptions can be granted by the Roleplay Admin Team for members should they wish to control a puppet nation or develop another nation.

   1. A puppet nation is a nation whose government is under the control of another nation. These nations, while under your country's influence, are still required to be realistic (for example, too much policing may result in rebellion).

   2. A Secondary Nation is a nation that you control that has nothing to do with your primary nation. While in control of a secondary nation, it is expected you keep in mind that they do not have anything to do with your primary nation and, as such, cannot be used as a means to “boost” your primary nation.

   3. Neither of the above types is able to colonize.

   4. The above rules are able to be exempted by the Culture Councilor at their discretion.

2. Exemptions to this rule are able to be revoked at the Culture Councilor’s discretion.

The Roleplay Admin Team has final say in where applicants are placed once they join.

1. The Roleplay Admin Team is required to consult with applicants to best fit the applicant’s nation in the world with what their vision of their nation is.

Nations are hereby subject to removal from the region's roleplay if they do not fulfill the following requirements after a period of three days have passed from the violation:

1. Nations within the roleplay must make an official roleplay post once every three weeks.

2. Members of the Roleplay must remain citizens

3. A new Nation must post its first post within 3 days after joining.

An exemption can be granted upon request by any member of the Roleplay Admin team if said admin believes the reasoning is acceptable.

The Culture Councilor is also able to make blanket exemptions should an event make it difficult or impossible to fulfill any of these requirements.

Roleplay posts must follow the rules established in the Alcris Code of Conduct and the Alcris Legal Code.

Roleplayers are expected to be respectful to each other. This includes bullying, harassment, baiting, flaming, and otherwise being intentionally malicious to one another.

1. This includes IC and OOC talk and actions. For example, doing things such as repeatedly targeting a nation without a valid reason is prohibited.

Roleplayers are expected to be courteous to the Roleplay Admin Team. If they ask a member to change something, that member is expected to work with the team, not against them.

Excessive complaining about the roleplay or its guidelines will result in temporary suspension from the roleplay.

God-modding and metagaming is prohibited.

1. God-modding is controlling other people’s characters when not given permission.

   1. This also applies to articles in the Wiki. Making Wiki Articles about another nation’s assets (characters, companies, histories, etc.) or altering any assets of a nation in one’s own Wiki Article is prohibited unless permission has been granted by either the nation who owns said assets or the Roleplay Admin Team.

2. Metagaming is using OOC information or motives to influence your nation’s decisions.

   1. It should be noted that planning events with another nation, such as a conflict, is allowed, however such a plan must be realistic to a roleplayer’s nation.

Nations must accept the responsibilities of their actions.

1. This means consequences from either other nations or the Roleplay Admin Team.
