Respect First
Treat players and staff with basic respect. No harassment, no targeted drama, no hate.
Keep RP Playable
Your choices should create scenes for others, not shut scenes down or force outcomes.
Staff Direction
Staff can pause/redirect scenes to keep things fair. If you disagree, appeal after—not mid-scene.
General Rules (Applies Everywhere)
This is the baseline. If something isn’t listed here but it breaks immersion, harms the community, or ruins scenes, expect staff to step in.
1) Respect & Conduct
- No harassment, hate, threats, or targeted toxicity.
- No doxxing or sharing private info (ever).
- Keep disagreements respectful and handled through proper channels.
- Don’t use your audience/chat to attack players or staff.
2) OOC, Metagaming, Exploits
- No metagaming: don’t use outside info to benefit in RP.
- No powergaming: don’t force outcomes or ignore realistic limits.
- No exploiting bugs, mechanics abuse, or “workarounds.”
- Report major bugs—don’t weaponize them.
3) Value Your Life
- Act like your character wants to live.
- Don’t treat injury/death as a joke or a reset button.
- Major injuries require believable downtime and limits.
- Escalation should match the situation—no instant extremes.
4) Voice, Chat, Communication
- Use clear comms and keep it in-character during scenes.
- No mic spam, soundboards to troll, or disruptive behavior.
- No OOC arguing in public chat/voice—take it to support channels.
- Don’t bait conflict for clips.
5) Fair Play & Scene Integrity
- No random violence or forced scenes.
- Give others time to react—don’t “speed-run” outcomes.
- Respect staff event rules when events are running.
- Don’t grief: repeated disruption will be handled fast.
6) Staff Process
- Follow staff direction during active situations.
- Appeals happen after the fact through the proper page/forms.
- No public staff-bashing or “trial by social media.”
- Repeated refusal to comply escalates penalties.
