((Guide for V.0.1 Extended EditioN))

Welcome to the world of Samurai Champloo, my other guide covered the basics of the rules and roleplaying this will cover stats, Training and ranks, along with various other things.....

Ok Ranks

So ranks, there are a few which i am certain about, / means they're out, - means they're gonna happen.. And -/- is a suggestive rank that might be released at some point

Dojo Master / This rank, is given to the people who roleplay for it, which is required to a rank, they own the Dojo and there will be one for each village, they come with a katana and bokken, and have the means to hand out the bokken, (Training swords) They can also give you the student rank, which i'll explain later.

Gang Boss - This rank is given to those who want to Roleplay the criminal underworld of Champloo, in which they'll be given swords, clothing and maybe other things like cash to build up their organization, this'll effect most of the gameplay as they're a vital part to the .

Student Rank / This rank is out, this is required to earn stat points while you spar, the only person who can give you this rank is the Dojo Master, usually you will be given a bokken when you are rewarded this rank

Village Lords -/- (My idea o.o) THese will operate the villages, control the Dojo masters, wage wars with other villages and usually have their own millita Very powerful men in the world of Champloo.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weeeeee, time for the Stat guide...

Now SP means Stat Points, you can be given these through Roleplay, Training Or having the Student Rank.

Speed = This will determine how fast you move, and also if you can break through defence, speed also acts as its own defence aswell.

Strength = Determines how hard you hit, this will make you a total beeftank for melee i suggest you combine this with speed.

Willpower = This equals your amount of health, you already know what HP is.

Defence = Defence is something that can stop strength, and can only be beaten by speed, and even speed has to exceed it by a certain Amount.

================================================
Now time for the Others

Hunger - This will affect pretty much everything, it weakens you if your too hungry, and is a something you gotta watch out for.

Weapons - There are many different weapons, they're gonna have different effects on you, so make sure you can work them out, otherwise your gonna loose alot of battles.

Admins - Respect the admins, but don't kissup, and give them a good shout if they've done something wrong, Even admins make mistakes.

Yen - Yen will buy almost anything in CIE, however you can only earn it at the moment from doing Roleplay tasks for admins and such you also need it to buy food.

Thankyou for Reading The Samurai Champloo Guide

Thanks for the help Sariki but I think it's time some rules were posted:

1. This is an RP game, any reported Non-rpers (once proben) will be severely punished.

2. Quality over quantity, if you wish to write a short RP fine, but make sure you're using proper english. e.g. (*Misuke dun got an axe 'n hacked Bak's head.* <--- this would be considered a Non-rp attack, and you would be punished for OOC attacking.

3. Theft, Pick Pocketing is a priveledge, if you plan on Pickpocketing, do a decent RP and give the person atleast 30 seconds to reace, this can be shown by simple saying placing (30) after your pick pocket RP (In the emote). Same rule applies, if you wish to half-ass it, we won't hesitate to punish you.

4. Death, RP deaths have to be exceptional, 3 line minimum, allong with 60 seccond reaction time, indicated with a (60) at the end of your RP, at current time, people who are ICly dead will be marked with an (OOC) before their names, and will be forced to remake. If these people are caught attempting to join RP's the will be severely punished.

5. This is about Metagaming, For those of you that don't know what Metagaming is, it is bringing things that your character had no way of figuring out, and acting as if they did.
e.g.
(OOC) Ass 1: Did you know that Misuke is Monk Leader?
(OOC) Bak's Ass: He is?
(*Bak's Ass aproaches Misuke, his fist clenched stating, "That's him... the Leader of the Epic Monks of God!"*
As with the other ones, it is punishable, however for metagaming there will be no warnings.

6. No IC in OOC, Do NOT bring In Character Matters into OOC, Things such as location, details about your character, and Event details. For this you will be given two warnings, followed by a character deletion on the third offence.

7. Bug abuse is not tolerated, if you find a bug, report it in our forums, or on OOC, do not use it. People found bug abusing will be punished as follows:
1st Offence: 5 minutes in jail
2nd Offence: 3 hours in jail
3rd Offence: Mute, + 24 hours in jail (minimum)
4th Offence: 3-day Ban
5th Offence: Blacklisted, IP-ban, Key Ban, Host Ban, and you will be Coded into the game, permanently blocking your key.
We give you many chances, if nothing teaches you, then we will force it into your head.

8. Finally, Do not ask admins for things such as weaponry or Yen, these things are easily gained by RPing with the propwer ranks, which can be found in the Story verb In-Game.

Follow these rules or Face the concequences....
Sincerely, Ironjitsu.
