Commerciality

Sales
There will be no commercial sales on any of the RP Hub areas.

Free gift
a free gift is anything that is offered for free that is not a game piece

Promotional aspects of creators name in objects
There is no way to "sanitize" the RP Hub so that no creator names are known and such. We are asking people to devote their time and efforts to this project, so of course there are going to be some items made by them in their builds.
As for scenery and enhancement of the parcels there will be objects from various creators from the grid. As time goes by some of these items will be replaced by other. There is a lot of diversity so none of the creators will get overexposure.



Building and Builds


Parcel size
Each genre area has been alloted  a quarter of a sim.

Primusage
Each genre area has been alloted  10,000 prims for their builds

Skyboxes  
Any skybox that is simply a box or a sphere or unsightly and not in keeping with that builds style or theme is not allowed to be seen from the ground. It should be up appr. 1000 meters.

Any skybox or skybuild that is aesthetically pleasing and fits the style/theme of the ground build/design is fine to be seen from the ground but should not block another parcels view.

Permissions
All builds must have copy perms so that IW crew can do rollbacks/restores if needed.

Interactive elements & game pieces

RP Systems (huds) guidelines

1) The system has to already be used by more than one rp sim and group *).
 2) The system must be available to any rp sim that wants to use it.
 3) Usage of the system on the RP Hub must be used in an interactive element **)
 4) The interactive element that uses the system must be more than simply stating "here is a system we use" with a note. ie: the user would use it in a practice simulation such as wearing it and having to fight a training dummy or fight a bot.
 5) the system usage should be contained to the broad genre/subgenre area to which it pertains. ie: a system used by the pirates should not be used in the urban genre areas.
6) The system should be free for all users.

*) In case a lone sim prove their hud essential to their RP, it will be decided by the RP Hub Committee is such a system is allowed in the RP Hub.
**) Those RP activities should not be solely recruitment acts: In other words a hud system used to transfer scores, points to the general system in use in the greater grid are not allowed.

RP Game pieces

 Definition in terms of RP HUB
 - A game piece is an object essential to- and part of the interactive elements in the RP hub and necessary in completing an interactive element.
The usage of a game piece will leave a copy in NR's inventory. The game piece itself should never be in Iz.valuta or an item that is transferable.


RP HUB Committee- maintenance

A Main Committee consisting of two representatives from each Genre will run the HUB with two alternates from each sub genre with voting rights on changes, etc. Their duties would include but are not limited to; role play classes on the hub, sim restarts, new applications from RP destinations, adding/removing destinations, genres and sub genres, modify landscape and locations of each genre, deciding if sub committees are needed, monitoring and vetting Librarians that volunteer and assist new residents on the HUB, promoting the HUB and communicating to the IW community about the HUB and what it has to offer, etc.

Main committee will be voted in by their genres and sub genres and at that time decide how long their term will be, how to remove leads and all other factors related to leading the HUB.

Main Committee will be responsible for vetting and acquiring live Librarians to assist in helping new residents coming into the HUB. Requirements to become a Librarian should include knowledge of role play or willing to learn about role play. Librarians should not try and promote their own role play destinations but instead help the new resident find what will suit them best.

Main Committee will also be responsible for defining genre’s and their sub genre’s and could be the following but not limited to; Sci Fi, urban, Fantasy, etc


Current Main Committee
