It has been the age of stone tools for as long as anyone could remember, an age of nomads, an age where the ice is far away and melting. Our tribe has wandered the land, even in the oldest stories the elders tell. We follow the food, and our lives depend on the wildlife. Troubles have emerged. Every year it is becoming harder and harder to find food. Our people tell the children about when they were their age, that they used to have to wear thicker clothing. Changes are upon us fast, elders remember a far different time than we live now, at least than they are used to. People talk of doom, but I disagree. Rumors spread of other tribes starting to stay in one spot in the world. How is this possible, you say? I honestly don't know, but I believe that it is the way.
Welcome to The Dawn.
-Signups start now.
-At 5pm Pacific Time, we will all enter the server titled Sun's The Dawn. It will be a flat tundra filled land full of emptiness, full scale, not mini.
-You will play a character, and NOT speak out of character. Every single word typed will be in character. You will change your avatar to be appropriate to your character. Only speech and actions are allowed. Speech will be normal text, actions with a "*" before it. Actions cannot include thoughts or intentions...no mind reading here.
-If a natural resource is needed, you will build it...but remain silent as you do, not speaking of the act. If while building a natural resource you are to respond to a conversation, you will do so as if not building the natural resource.
-We will all have different ages, and families. We will get older and die...and when we do we become a new baby of a mother and father. You will be named and described by conversation in-game. All players entering the server after 5pm Pacific Time will be babies. All players leaving the server will die on the spot, unexplained until investigation. Even if you leave to rejoin, you will die and be reborn.
-Dying in-game (Self Delete or killing) will be ignored, only if a death is announced through "*" action, will it be taken seriously.
-To sign up post the name of your first character, gender, age, a short description, and ign name. Password to server is civ. We need an even ratio of males to females. Remember, when you are born as a new person, you will be named, assigned a gender by a parent or elder based on necessity, and described through conversation in-game. No descriptions will ever be explained other than through conversation, not even in actions.
-My (ign Sun) Characters (My bloodline) will be regarded as an elder no matter the age...as is our tribe's culture. However, this does not mean you can grow weary of this and have politics ensue...but remember tradition is a current you have to swim against.
-Medieval chat is on. If you see players speaking in Old English, do not attempt to copy them. Speak in normal English and it will be translated for you.
