What Can I Do Here?

What can one do here?

You do not have to read anything of the following, this is only to explain for those who have questions.

The Amazon River in SL is meant as a fun and recreation area. I do not claim by any means to be authentic in a scientifically correct way with that region. Having that said, you can explore, alone or with a friend, or a group even. 

The region is rated "adult", so you are welcome to enjoy all sorts of adult activities.

Do I have to?

• No! You do not have to do anything, :) You can hunt - or not. You can explore - or not. The only thing we ask is that you respect the doings of the others who are playing around you or with you.
  

Is there Role-play?

• Why yes! Everyone who visits here is required to wear the Amazon Life HUD - This provides information about the regions and also supports the role-play here. 
• Explore this vast rainforest with native tribes, explorers, raiders and wild animals: it can be a perilous place!

How do I know who wants to Role-play?

• Simple: The Amazon River is a 11 Region Role-Play SIM, everyone is here to Role-Play!
• If someone begins a Role-Play with you, it is polite to respond, even as a beginner, the best way to learn is to take part. 
  

Is there CaRP too? (Capture Role-play)

• Yes. The Amazon River HUD provides capabilities for both “attackers” and “victims” as well as the option to be a 'non-combatant'.
• If you are playing as a PvP (Yellow) player, if attacked, you are expected to honour the Role-Play. Attacks can come without a warning, but, if there is no RP before an attack, there must be afterwards.
  

How do I hunt?

• The Amazon Life HUD provides full support for Predators/Prey, including “downing”, capturing and leashing. See here for more detail: Amazon Life HUD. 
• Other capture HUD's (such as GM - Gorean Meter) are not used in the Amazon, and you will be asked to remove them if worn. 
• All “usual” weapons, that fit with the atmosphere here, will work with the Amazon River HUD - e.g. bows, guns etc. - but the number of “shots” you have is limited, to discourage “pew pew” fighting. 
• You can use any reasonable weapon, the Amazon Life HUD has a meter built in - but every attack should come with Role-Play, it can come before an attack, after an attack or both. Attacking without any Role-Play is not allowed.
• Please do not use Evil Magic (Shield HUD's etc), this is seen as cheating.
• If the Amazon Leaders learn about such actions from you, you may well be punished. In some cases, we will give you a chance to settle wrong behaviour with Role-Play. 
• If you are here for griefing, though, you learn fast that we can also use OOC powers!
