**Background:**
The Bitterwood RP is set in the Dakotas in 1869, a few years after the Civil War. The recently established town of Bitterwood promises new prospects for gold-mining, business, and a place for all people to escape adversity. However, a land with so much to offer still invites trouble. Only after a couple of years, the town is plagued by moral depravity. Unable to keep a sheriff, dangerous gangs running amuck, and illegal trade destroying the middle class, there is no telling if or how soon Bitterwood will be left a burning pile of rubble.
One band of thieves, the Sullivan Gang has already begun making a name for itself over the past couple of years. From marketing illegal goods to robbery, the dangerous criminal element is making moves to expand its political power. They own a vast amount of land for their properties, farms, and cattle.
The Emerson Gang, their quiet rivals, are new in town. What they lack in land and capital in comparison to the Sullivan Gang currently, they make up for in brutality and violence of action. They’ll get what they need through whatever means necessary. While they haven't struck yet, their leader is formulating a plan to take out those that might stand in their way.
Aside from the criminal lifestyle, citizens are making honest livings as doctors, farmers, miners, gunsmiths, hunters, business owners and more. Some factionless townspeople may fall victim to enticing schemes that involve getting rich quick. Some only wish to begin a new chapter in their lives without any trouble.
**About the Server:**
The overall goal of the admins of Bitterwood RP is to collectively create a realistic fiction story of several elements. Action, slice of life, crime, drama, romance, are all welcome. The key is realism. Characters may be living under persecution, be it because of their race, preferences, religious practices, or the effects of fighting in the Civil War in an opposing state. Bitterwood is a fictional town, but real, historical elements are factored into the roleplay.
**This server is suitable for work (SFW).** Sexually explicit posts, images, links, or any content of that nature are strictly prohibited and will be removed. The offender will receive up to **two** warnings, depending on the severity of the content. After that, the offender will be permanently banned.
The server is formatted to be as collaborative and social between players as possible. Not only is there an abundance of channels for locations, but there is an abundance of channels for requests and discussions as well. The roleplay request channel allows players to find partners for a specific scene, and the roleplay discussion channel allows those players to decide what takes place. DMing other players to plan scenes instead is allowed and encouraged, however!
Interactions between characters of three or more players are posted in a rotation established by those players. If there is an ongoing scene where a player wants to bring in another character, the rotation adjusts accordingly. To mitigate extended periods of "roleplay locking", 12 hours is a permissible time to request a skip for the person that the other players are waiting on. 24 hours is a permissible time to skip that person without approval from them. A rule of the server is TO NOT IGNORE players that are in a scene. There is a panel of admins to enforce these rules and solve conflicts of this nature in an objective manner, relative to the rules established.
**More important rules to note:**
Bigotry is not welcomed! We welcome aspects of realism to the story, but not to the extent to where it belittles the human beings in the roleplay. dialogue of that nature towards any roleplayer is an automatic ban, and that applies to everyone, including management. We're all a gaggle of friendly folks that want to create something fun, meaningful, diverse, and lasting. Please do not ruin that experience for other people with ignorance. Fairness is key! We do not ignore roleplayers and we all consider one another's needs. There are rules set in place to enforce cooperation and peaceful resolutions. We are all adults with lives outside of roleplaying, and we aim to find resolutions for conflict through peaceful means.
**Come yee-haw, bois.**
If you join, feel free to scope the channels and say hello! A majority of the time, there is an admin available to answer any questions and get you settled in. There are various roles that we need specifically, should you become stuck when creating a character. We are currently in need of a sheriff, deputies, some gang members or criminals in general, Blue Orchid workers, and possibly a mayor and other city officials!
