Some stupid questions, but here we go.Rule #8: Concerning 'acceptable' trade materials:
Nothing that violates the law in the United States. That includes copyright law, federal law, state law, local law...get the idea?
No weapons of any kind. This is not a political statement, this is a rule of the website as decided by Trademaster Adam and myself.
NO FIREARMS OR WEAPONS.
Anyone who posts an ad asking for firearms or other weapons in trade for anything will be immediately and permanently banned.
That means no: Guns (be they BB or powder-powered), Rifles, Shotguns, Automatic Firearms, cans of spam, Semi-Automatic firearms, bows, arrows, crossbows, shuriken, shaken, trained attack squirrels, sharpened spoons, blades of any length or type, polearms, explosives, combustables, blunt-force instruments (batons, nightsticks, tonfa, escrima, etc) or boots-to-the-head. That includes practice weapons like SCA and Olympic fencing gear, dulled aluminum samurai swords, tree branches, darts, plastic kitchenware and cooking pans.
Paintball and Airsoft equipment are acceptable.
"Boffer" style weapons made of PVC pipe and foam padding are acceptable.
If you have questions whether or not your item qualifies as "boffer" then contact me before you post. I will clarify.
Firearm accessories are NOT acceptable.
That means no magazines (what holds the bullets), clips, parts, shells, reloading equipment, gunpowder, sights, or anything else I deem related to firearms or weaponry.
Animals are NOT acceptable trade materials. We're just not going to go there. For that matter, human beings or any of their constituent parts aren't acceptable trade materials either.
1. I had someone suggest using bullets as Ork Stormboy Rokkit packs. It says "ammo", so I'm almost certain its a no. But what about spent shell casings or practice arrow tips (the rounded ones- for target practice, not hunting.) Would that be legit?
2. Referring to the 'living' aspect, what about taxidermy? (I.e. the stuffed skin/head/body of a real animal) Would that count as "object" or "Living"? Seeing as how its not living anymore it doesn't fit the description but I doubt this part was aimed at still living creatures being sent through the mail, exclusively.
Point being, a REAL tarantula taxidermy-afied would make a nice, creepy as hell mount for my goblin warboss.
I posted that here so that I could get feedback more than anything else as I'm mostly just curious. I mean, I'm sure If I looked hard enough I could find a stuffed tarantula in my area- I do live in colorado. It was mostly just an idea, and a way to split the rules in a way that will prevent people abusing it (because I got to it first).
Also, if anyone's got a similar bone to pick, then go ahead and throw it up here. Oh and I've always wanted to trade a Boot To The Head.
