Rule section of The News Portal
Most people already have an idea how The News Portal works. Factions can make news broadcasts and other ways of announcements, related to in game subject. Climate disasters, war, political debates and reactions to other events, and so on. Just turn on your home TV, and switch to the news. Basically the same idea.
News broadcasts are always IC (only exception is to make something clear with a small OOC line)
News Broadcasts are always public. This means a Chinese news broadcast can be viewed by any other faction, using its information, whether is it something dangerous or to prepare for some event.
The classic way of using The News Portal is each faction is only allowed to make broadcasts within their own respective faction portal.
It will be changed. Each player/member is allowed to make news announcements in every faction available.
However, there are certain rules:
- Each faction, is allowed to write whatever they desire within their own faction news portal.
- Each faction writing news in a news portal, must write it as a news bulletin worthy post.
- Each faction is allowed to write in a different faction portal, but is restricted.
- Each faction is allowed to write in a different faction portal, but may not take over control of any important, directly controlled objects, persons, army or what so ever of a different faction.
If you write in a different faction then your own, you are not allowed to write about anything. You must restrict to only which is connected to your own faction. In other words, you are allowed to write a news bulletin in a different faction, about your own factions situations. This could be anything about political, military, civilian, as long as it is connected to your own faction.
Examples:
'A Russian player writes a story in the European News Portal. He writes that the Russian army is gathering near the Polish border, doing army drills. This could be seen as a threat to the Europeans. Polish citizens are worried and urges their leaders to do something about this.'
This is a legit example. The Russian player did not take control of any primary European belongings, objects, important people or what so ever. This example indicates a serious situation, in which the Europeans should react to. It is highly recommendable to write certain messages. In real life the same thing happens. Countries sees armies approaching, before they perhaps invade. It’s plain logic.
The Europeans are allowed in response to this, write a news story about the Russian forces near the borders. But still, you cannot take control of other factions belongings.
A bad/illegal example:
'The Chinese intelligence has confirmed that the USA forces invading the costs of Cameroon.'
This is not allowed as the USA did not did this.
You are not allowed to control other factions forces and make them make moves. You are however allowed, writing it AFTER, they did.
