The Official Black Caste Sim Laws - Version 3.0
1. Your Second Life Gorean Avatar must be a minimum of 3 months old to be considered eligible for the Black Caste. At this age, you can seek out the Black Caste for training IC. Anyone less than 3 months old cannot role-play as a Black Caste in our sim.
2. When the Black Caste arrives on our Gorean Sim, he must read thoroughly the laws of our sim before continuing his RP.
3. If anyone is discovered to be masquerading as an Assassin but who is not a recognized member of the Black Caste, they may well be treated as an Outlaw
4. Absolutely no female Assassins will be recognized.
5. Any event that requires more than one Assassin must be sanctioned by the caste's High Council in order to be valid. The group of Assassins wishing to do so must petition the High Council to seek that sanction, which is reached by a majority vote.
6. An Assassin MUST wear the black livery of his caste and bare the mark of the black dagger on his forehead when he is ready to begin his “Kill phase”. During the hunting and observation phase the use of a disguise is acceptable.
7. The Assassin must emote wearing the black dagger on his forehead at least once while in the presence of his mark and before he attempts the Assassination.
8. Slaves CAN travel with their Black Caste Masters if the Assassin chooses to use his slave for spying or distraction purposes. He should of course expect the slave to be impaled if discovered.
9. The Assassin is not required to seek permission from an Ubar or Admin, to hunt on our sim. We will not require knowing details of who the mark is in IC or OOC.
10. If the mark is one of our own Citizens, to demonstrate the competence of the Assassins PTOIT (Planning, Tracking, Observation and Investigation Training), he is required to log three separate sessions on our sim, showing 3 different Date stamps, before he attempts his assassination of the target.
11. Non Citizen targets can be assassinated as the window of opportunity presents itself. In cases of dispute and for moderation purposes, we may ask for the Assassins PTOIT logs. Failure to produce logs may invalidate RP.
12. The contract against a Citizen in our sim is deemed to be complete when the target is killed OR the Assassin is killed (which ever happens first). When the contract is over, the reason for the kill and the client that hired the Assassin cannot be used against that same Citizen again.
13. The Black Caste are not required to follow the 30 minute Role-play rule before they strike. This includes killing any who try to intervene. The standard three lines of Rp/emoting is required for any kill to be considered valid.
14. Any assassin who successfully kills one of our Citizens can not kill that same person again until after a month has lapsed.
15. Following an assassination attempt the assassin must successfully reach the TP arrival/exit area and emote at least one line of escape or leaving before successfully teleporting out, doing so will be considered as having found safe passage away.
16. If the weapons you wear come with sheaths or quivers then wear them. Pulling a bow from your ass is not considered valid. Any hidden items should be emoted as being on your person upon arrival. The only exception for not carrying a sheath or quiver is when in the arena during organized Tournaments for lag purposes.
17. Failure to uphold one or all of these rules will invalidate the Role-play. Persistent law breakers risk banning from Sims and ejection from the Black Caste.
