I. CAPTURE
1. “Normal” death is 36 hours, must be emoted in a minimum of 3 descriptive emotes, and requires 30 minutes roleplay in advance of this, as well as a good IC stated reason. A notecard must be provided to an Administrator/Ubar/Regent for the kill to be valid. For Assassins the 30 minutes rp is included in the hunt. The term valid rp killing refers to a killing as part of a major rp scenario, which must be presented to a moderator for consideration by the council if necessary.
Avatars whose death has been a part of big sim storyline f.e trial and execution preformed by a city IC administration can not play 36 hours death. Unfortunately, if your death has been part of such RP for the sake of IC continuity we can not allow same character to return.
2. IC combat.
In the case of IC drawing weapons/duels/attack/capturing someone one post with clear intent must be made. F.e. drawing weapons while describing intent to strike someone.
3. Females are permitted in the city and must be suitably attired or risk force collaring.
4. Uncollared slaves may be force collared by any Free. (See the laws about slaves.)
5. Bringing a captive into the sim or taking a captive from the sim must be from the docks and must be roleplayed.
6. Escapes are absolutely IC matter. It must be role-played out reasonably, NC must be provided to RP moderator who will validate escape.
Note: We urge you to discuss matter of escape OOCly with your captor. F.E – If your personal limits state you will do no more than 3 days of capture, discussing it OOCly can help with arranging valid IC scenario.
7. Anyone captured and taken from any of the sims may attempt to shout to leave clues as to their capture. If the captor in a sailing post uses his destination spoken to the boat captain, this may be used for IC knowledge as to whereabouts of a captive. This is the only NPC that can be used to find information regarding a captive.
8. Captives will be returned using roleplay coinage and goods, including hostages. The ZCS meter and coin system may be NOT be used for this process. We accept only prim coins which can be rezzed and recognized.

This means in the duration of 2 minutes while the door is picking, you must have 3 complete posts (10 words minimum per line) by the time the door opens.
