The Outpost Wiki



Welcome to The Outpost
The Outpost is a thread-based RPG on Dreamwidth.org. The game revolves around the arch at the centre of a mysterious Mediterranean town known only as the Outpost (also known as the City on the Edge of Forever). Leaving the Outpost is only possible through a mysterious sandstone arch in the town square. No one knows who built The Arch or how it works. Touching the mirrored plane within the arch sends people back to their own world. People arrive at the Outpost in the same way, finding ordinary mirrors suddenly enchanted into portals.

Rules
There are two sets of rules: IC and OOC.

IC Rules
There are no rules posted anywhere for visitors to see, but there are rules all the same:


 * Do not break or destroy anything which does not belong to you.
 * Do not kill anyone, unless you can bring them back to life immediately.
 * Do not have sex in common areas.

Breaking the rules will result in whatever punishment either Sid or Loki deem appropriate.

OOC Rules
The OOC rules have very little to do with the IC rules, and are very visible for all to see. For further explanation of this list, see the rules page.


 * All entry posts must be made with an outpost account. Threading in the post can be done with any character account.
 * All outpost accounts must keep an up-to-date master list of all characters played. Character accounts must link back to the outpost account or the pup list in the profile.
 * Community tags are for muns, locations, and plots only. Individual characters will not be given their own tags.
 * Any version of any character can be played at the Outpost. We do not have a character apping or reserve system. Multiple versions of the same character are welcome, as well as OCs and AU versions of a character.
 * No godmodding/godmoding or metagaming.
 * The Outpost is closed-continuity. No other plots may be brought in.
 * Even though there is no character apping process, this is not a sandbox or a dressing room. Sometimes a character doesn't work out, and that's fine. Please do not make it a habit to introduce and drop characters frequently.
 * New locations may be added without mod approval (usually; if it's something very large, please ask first). Anything added must be done with the resources available to the characters, and must be announced in the the Outpost OOC, and have a page made here on the Wiki.
 * All threads of a sexual nature should happen either behind a cut, or if possible, on another account to be linked back to the main community.
 * Lastly, in the event that the community uses up its tag allowance, any player tags that have not been updated in over six months may be re-appropriated or deleted to free up space. This is unlikely, but not impossible.

Joining the Game
Apps are always open, and are approved as soon as possible. To apply to the community, you must join with an outpost account, with a pup list visible either on the profile, or stickied on the recent pages.

For a detailed step-by-step process, see the applications page.
