FAQ
Q: Can I be staff?
A: No, staff positions are only available when additions are being held. Even then, you may not be selected to be a staff member here.
Q: What do I put for my display name?
A: Just put a name that you wouldn't mind being called around the site, this is mostly known as your OOC name or out of character name.
Q: Can I have more then five characters and why not?
A: No, five is the limit of characters allowed for your account. This was decided because a lot of characters are going to die. This is why we ask for people who wouldn't mind killing off their characters. We also have this so people don't have to simply strike off a character with no words said or no good-byes.
Q: What do I do if I am being bullied on Night Hawk?
A: PM a staff member, specifically the admins, Cyn and Scribble, then matters will be sorted out.
Q: If I notice a site rule being broken, what do I do?
A: PM a staff member, unless it is something easy to explain or handle. This can include rules like spamming or being under the word count in the role-playing section of Night Hawk.
Q: How do I center the image in my signature?
A: There are two different codes that work with this. Just remove the *s from the sample and you will be good to go. 1. [*center][Insert image here][/*center] 2. [*div align="center"][Insert image here][/*div]
Q: What can I do if I am going to be inactive for a while?
A: If your going to be inactive, post in the Absence board located in the Members' Lounge. Just state your going to be absent and your account will be safe from being deleted if an activity check came along.
Q: What can I do if I see a spelling or grammar mistakes on the site?
A: If it is in the boards, sidebar or important threads, feel free to PM one of the admins to fix the error. If it is a reply post you don't need to point it out, but you may.
Q: Why doesn't the mafia leave Talinor?
A: They were sealed in and there are far too many of them to all escape. They also already have smuggling routes in Talinor and a lot of power over the crime rate.
Q: Why didn't the Talinor police ask for help from other cities or towns?
A: The police in Talinor have a lot of pride. They had a safe city before the mafia came and they are confident that they can handle the situation. The most the police force takes is the very few transferred officers.
Q: What is considered too powerful for powers?
A: Simply anything that makes a character invincible, or having an abundance of powers, but staff may see some powers as too powerful and say no to them.
Q: Does my character have to have a power?
A: Certainly not, it just depends on what the person playing the character wants.
Q: Can I use characters I have made previously from other sites?
A: Yes, as long as they obey all rules and you can piece a biography together with Night Hawk's application template.
Q: Does my character have to die?
A: Not really, but no member can have more then five characters at a time. These killings are also here to help make good plots since the main plot can't be altered. It also helps so instead of just recycling and character and saying "I didn't want Blah Blah Blah, anymore cause they are boring," you can easily kill them off, but if it's not using the six month execution, please tell an admin.
Q: If I want to leave the site, what can I do with my characters?
A: We ask that if you're going to leave the site permanently that you kill off your characters. This way at least after you leave, it may add some spice to the role-playing of other people who are still here.
Q: Can I lead my own mafia?
A: There is one main mafia gang in Talinor, but members may lead smaller gangs that don't change the course of the site plot. However, if there are too many this will be banned until citizens and criminals are fair.
Q: Can my character be a different species or monsters?
A: Characters can only be human, since we often found that on former sites most monsters were criminals. This will also partially balance the killing seeing as some people have monsters that can't control themselves. However, if you really want your character to transform into various animals you may have the power of shape-shifting.
Q: Can my character speak other languages?
A: It is allowed, as long as your character can also speak English, we also ask that you have a translation in brackets in case someone doesn't know how to speak that language.
Q: What is power-playing and god-modding?
A: Power-playing is when you control someones character without their permission. God-modding is when your character seems all powerful, or godly in a sense, and aren't taking damage, getting sick or are using abilities they don't have.
Q: When I am on a mobile device and switch to desktop view only half the site will appear, why is that?
A: We are not sure, but we believe it is the skin template we use, so just stay in mobile view and you should be fine.
Q: Are anime versions of cartoon characters allowed?
A: Yes, it is allowed. Cartoon animals as anime humans are also allowed. This is mostly to have more interesting face claims.
