KoS Citizens - Store Rental (in K$)

~Kingdom of Sand~
Shop Rental - Terms of Agreement


Thank you for your interest in renting a shop at Kingdom of Sand!

WHO MAY RENT:

- This is reserved to Ireem Citizens (wearing a yellow tag);
- If you are currently part of another group and you wish to become citizen, go and get a new citizen tag and then you may rent the store.
- If you only wear the Explorer tag, you won't qualify


BENEFITS AS BUSINESS OWNERS:

As business owner at Ireem:
- you may hire employees / assistants to help you to run the business
- if employees are not found, you may also have slaves to work for you - at any conditions you decide for them
- you will be given tools and props to make money for your business (e.g. the tarot table for the mystic parlor) , however you should find creative ways to improve and launch your business.
- all shops should be considered for roleplay purposes. If you are more into capture / fighting, you should probably consider to take a predator or prey or knight role.
- if you are currently have a position at Ireem, such as Mystic, you will be contacted first to rent the Mystic Parlor before anybody else. If you are not interested, then the position will be considered open to any other citizen.
- you should drop a notecard explaining:

• store info;
• job openings (if any);
• store hours (if any);
• price list;

Simply click on the sign once the rent is active, and follow instructions.


TERMS & CONDITIONS:

- There are NO REFUNDS for K$. Upon acceptance of the rental agreement, you acknowledge that Kingdom of Sand has no obligation to refund any amount of money under any circumstance
- You can only rent one shop at a time. If you rent more than one, we will ask you to evacuate one shop without refund.
- The rent is paid in K$. If you don't have enough money, there are many ways to earn it.
- You cannot buy K$. They are not on sale.
- Because of this, we consider the shops to be a benefit to game players/role players who want to be more involved in the game


RENEWAL / EXPIRATION:

- You can only rent for a week (no more, no less).
- At the end of the week you may rent it again, or the shop will become available to a new tenant
- When the rental is expired, you will be notified, and you will have max 24 hours to extend the rental.
- If not, an announcement will be made SIM-wide through the HUD, so someone else may get the chance to rent it.
- If the shop becomes available and nobody rents it, an announcement will be made through the group.
- Kingdom of Sand reserves the right to terminate any rental at any time for any reason, in accordance with its terms of service. Common sense is the rule of thumb - be polite, courteous, and follow the rules.

PRIMS:
- There are no building permissions

LAG:
- Lag could potentially fail the K$ transaction. Transactions will be logged and we may be able to fix the failed transaction. However, no matter what, game money is part of the game, and we don't take responsabilities in case of lost K$.

HOW TO RENT:
- Go directly to the store.
- Outside the store there will be a sign. If it is available, click on the sign. You will get a menu with the options to get this notecard or to rent the store
- If the store has already been rent, then you will probably see the name of the business owner.

For questions, IM Kora Zenovka.

Important - no shouting, no OOC chat, no gestures

While we update some rules, please avoid:
- SHOUTING (unless you are a prey and shout for help, or a knight who wants to rescue the captive)
- OOC CHAT (keep Local Chat in character. If you want to talk about OOC topics, please use IM, or TP to the Sky Entrance)
- GESTURES (except gestures in theme)
Thank you!

Citizens RP Rules (Non-Palace)

(posted by Sassy Jaxxon)

WELCOME TO IREEM!!

Citizens, as a group, are neutral. We are neither Prey nor Predator. We do not form alliances with any other group. Individual Citizens, of course, have friends and relationships with other members. Because of this, personal alliances may be made. For instance, you are friends with a Bedouin and s/he vows to protect you from other Predators. But, as a group, we are neutral and do not get involved with faction disputes.

1] Citizens may only draw their swords and fight in battle IF...
--- Predators are attacking anyone INSIDE the city walls. The city is our "camp" and we have the right to defend it, and each other, just like the other groups defend their camps. Please keep in mind that the Dungeon and Magi groups have camps in opposite corners of our city so don't be suspicious when you see one of them walking around.
--- You have been attacked (self-defense).
--- A fellow Citizen has been defeated in battle and the Predator refuses to release him/her. You may fight for his/her freedom. But if you lose, you are captured as well. :)) Knights are still able to fight for us, as well, if s/he chooses.
--- Citizens may NOT attack Predators to free Slaves or Knights. Nor may they attack Predators who are simply visiting the city or walking to their camps.
--- Citizens may challenge anyone at any time to arena combat.

2] Citizens may not capture Slaves. If you want to chase, you should consider switching to a Predator role. I know its been done in the past by switching to a Predator meter then back again, but it does not make sense and our meters do not allow us to capture. You may, however, roleplay a slave purchase and have him/her use a titler stating "Owned by...." and disable their meter to prevent a Predator from catching him/her.

3] Citizens are Citizens. Period. I know, in the past, we have switched tags when we are bored. But this does not make sense either. A weaver cannot run through the desert, be a Slave for a bit, then go back to their role. Its just not good RP and is confusing for everyone. If you are bored with your role and want to switch groups, notify me ASAP so I can assign your role to someone else. If you want a new role, contact me and we'll work together to find you something new.


You're a Citizen. Be true to your role and get creative with it! :))

update version 1.3

--approved by Kora Zenovka--

Update to rules on Palace access (and safe zone areas, eg. preds camps)

Update to rules on Palace access (and safe zone areas, eg. preds camps)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the Palace has begun recruiting role play staff it has become necessary to re think the rules on who is and is not allowed to be there without good reason.
Any Explorer may enter the Palace to look around.
Any Player with a disabled game meter is also allowed in as an explorer.
Any player who disables their meter to enter the Palace must stay that way until they leave the place, no changing to role play half way through your visit.
If Palace staff are there you may be offered an official tour.
The very top floor of the Palace, the Harem, is now out of bounds to everyone except chosen Palace staff and official visitors.
Its simple, if you cannot get past the guard on the stairs you are not one of these.
If you enter the Harem (top floor) by sitting on a pose ball you will be ejected from the Sim.
All Explorers are asked to take special care in the Palace, as in the rest of the Sim, not to disturb role play. They may not use any sex pose balls, use emotes or play music or in any other way disturb the atmosphere of the Sim.
The Palace is a safe zone so absolutely no fighting at all takes place there.
For role playing only official staff may stay in the palace.

All other players must have a good role play reason as to why they are there, such as an audience with the Sultana or another Palace official, or some other prearranged role play event.
This rule includes Prey and Knights.
All players without good reason for being in the Palace will be challenged by the palace guards, should any be around, and asked to leave unless you have the above mentioned good RP reason for being there.
Attacks on palace guards within the palace will be seen as a form of griefing.
Palace guards will RP asking you to leave the Palace grounds, you may RP your way out, but you will please leave or be reported
Please note that the above rule also applies to all Predator camps, although it has never been stressed.
So a Bedouin must have a good reason for being in the knights camp etc etc.
Obviously if there is no opposing predator in the camp then this rule cannot be enforced, but should one arrive while you are in their camp they have every right to ask you to leave or attack you without warning should they wish.
