Seconds rules

Multiple Characters Policy:

  • Registered members will be allowed a second character upon approval of an admin.

  • To apply for a second, see the "how to get a second character" helpfile.

  • The two characters must be kept as totally separate individuals.

    This means you shall not: - Use one character to assist the other, either in performing a quest, rescue from death or other mishap, or in any other way. - Donate equipment or money through an "intermediary" character (a buddy) from one character to another. - Have one character join, seek entry to, or otherwise become directly affiliated with the castle(s), guild(s) and organization(s) in which the other character participates or has participated. - Use the "connections" or friends of the first player to gain perks for the second, or vice versa.* - Use one character to eliminate, kill, steal from, harass, slander, or take other action against enemies of the other character.**

    This is not a complete or inclusive list. Use some common sense.

    * If it is widely known among the mud population who your second is, you are probably pushing it. Even if you "roleplay" the char, people will undoubtedly be giving consideration to the actions of the first in their dealings with the second.

    Furthermore, if you get killed, and you think it was because of whose second you are - by definition, that's your fault.

    ** If a matter closely concerns your second, stay out of it.

  • The characters must be linked to each other. Linked characters are prevented from logging on at the same time, or within several minutes of each other. You are responsible for making sure your characters are linked.

  • The creators may limit any member to one character.

  • If you already have two characters which are not linked, please notify a creator. Unlinked seconds may be deleted without notice.

  • Unregistered members and members registered to hotmail, yahoo, and similar freemail addresses will receive zero tolerance if they are suspected of multiplaying, having unlinked seconds, or any other rules violation.

  • Registered members cooperating with unregistered members to engage in suspicious activities, such as practicing ambush, will be presumed guilty of multiplaying, unless they can provide demonstrated evidence that the unregistered character is a legitimate new player. Registered members engaged in such activities are responsible for knowing whether their partner is registered; ignorance is no excuse.
