Setting up your Avatar for Roratonga
Roratonga makes use of quite a bit of technology, to enable its current form of roleplay. This means that your avatar needs to be prepared, in order to visit the archipelago. Bear with us, it's simple!
1. Get a suitable outfit
Roratonga is themed to be in the 17th to 18th century. Please use outfits that fit the time period. No Scifi-Outfits and such, no fantasy characters.
Some Freebie-Outfits are available at the arrival skybox.
2. Read and understand the rules of Roratonga
Roratonga makes use of the Gorean Meter, but it is not a sim that follows all rules commonly known at Gor sims! Please read our rules to understand the differences, before feeling "cheated".
The rules are distributed by the group joiner.
3. Wear a Gorean Meter
Wear a Gorean meter at all times. Don't go AFK for excessive periods. Don't go OOC in sim.
4. Add the Roratonga HUD
Some roles on Roratonga have a homebase that is protected by traps. The purpose of the traps is to emulate the group that defends their stronghold, thus enabling undisturbed roleplay after the capture.
Touching the trap area of the HUD, you can control the "own" trap, to admit guests without attacking them.
The HUD is distributed from a giver at the welcome platform.
5. Get weapons
Depending on your role, you should have weapons. Chose weapons that are a realistic fit for your role. A castaway is unlikely to have a gun, a spear or a sling seem to be more realistic makeshift weapons. We have an Arena for training purposes. If you are new to weapons, ask. People generally are very helpful and will be glad to give some initial hints.
6. Configure preferences display via the Roratonga Hovertext
Roratonga is an extreme CARP sim with no limits except the LL TOS (see rules).
Rape, torture, snuff and Dolcett themed roleplay are the norm here.
However, we have decided to define a few acceptable limits and give ways to signal them to other players via the Roratonga Hovertext
- Sexual Orientation: While bi- or homosexuality is welcome, we assume heterosexuality to be the norm here. Do not impose homosexuality (anything exceeding hunting, capturing, stripping) upon people who don't give you signs that it is welcome / don't play here if you are not ready to captured and stripped by anybody.
- Dolcett: While Roratonga is a cannibal island, we welcome people who do not want to become their dinner or end on some sacrifice altar. Being "Not edible" is an accepted limit... that comes with the obligation to not attack cannibals, unless the limits are mutually agreed upon. Not all cannibals are only "hungry", some might have "other use" for their captives.
- The "No Dolcett"-Exception is not preventing "executions for being a criminal". Choose your role accordingly if you would have a problem with that.
- As always, individuals can negotiate different agreements. We don't want to rule everything.
Your most important preferences can be displayed using the hovertext.
