THIS INITIATIVE IS SET TO BEGIN MONDAY, AUGUST 19th. PLEASE SEE DETAILS IN THE BELOW POSTS FOR TIMES/LOCATIONS.

Greetings one, greetings all. Welcome to the Daily Roleplay Initiative!

The Introduction: What is the DRI?

Our goal here is to help encourage a sort of spontaneous-yet-controlled roleplay which emulates the joys and relationship-building of Freelance roleplay, which has been inactive for some years now. Through the Daily Roleplay Initiative (DRI), roleplayers will have the opportunity to meet in preset locations, at preset times, on a reliable and predictable manner. Through providing a consistent availability of roleplay, we hope to help spur a surge in activity for roleplayers both new and old: Opportunities for the old to reconnect and build new character relationships, opportunities for the new to get some spontaneous roleplay without feeling the need to commit to groups.

Please read on for the DRI's regulations, rules, and rotations.

DRI: Public or Private? What Canon? Are there rules?

The DRI works in the vein of the Jagex Canon , or Public Roleplay . In other words, while participating in DRI-sponsored roleplays...

>The NPC rulers of kingdoms, nations, and major factions are recognized.

>Current developments in the Jagex Canon/RS3 Lore are recognized.

>POK-style characters, in particular rulers or those claiming royal lineage, are recognized as influential nobles (or other variations based off the individual player's choosing). They are not recognized as the true rulers/royals of their home location.

>No POKs may dictate what does or does not happen to daily roleplays occurring in locations they may individually recognize as their own.

>All players/characters are invited to participate with the above stipulations in mind. Please be mindful/respectful of others when choosing what character(s) you choose to bring.

>You are not required to interact with all players by any means. If you have personal reasons to not interact with another player/character, it is your prerogative to choose those interactions.

DRI: How the Rotation Works

TIMES: Every day, roleplays will occur twice a day: One time favoring the US-Central timezone, and one favoring the UK/Western Europe timezone.

WEEKDAY ROTATION: Every weekday, on the same day of the week, players can always expect to find the same location available for roleplay for both timezones. This is to ensure both consistency and reliability for roleplayers to always expect to find RP available at these times and locations. Additionally, the five weekday locations will be major hubs of activity.

WEEKEND ROTATION: Contrary to weekday roleplays, the weekend roleplay rotation will vary by weekend. This is to help lesser hubs receive attention on a less regular basis, and to help groups operating out of these lesser areas receive opportunities to recruit for their locational-based roleplays.
