This is an old revision of the document!
A fade to black is called when someone is uncomfortable playing out a scene in detail. It must be respected and complied with immediately.
If you are uncomfortable in a RP situation, consider whether it is possible for your character to remove themselves from the situation and allow others to continue. If this is not an option you may, at any time and for any reason, call a fade to black. Other players and immortals must comply and immediately end the current scene. This can be done over the OOC line, or via <say> and/or <emote>.
Once a fade to black call is made, players and immortals (if applicable) should discuss the situation OOC and agree on the outcome of the RP:
If this was a hostile situation, the result can be sent to staff via pkmail or avatarmail.
When discussing the outcome of a fade to black, always remember:
If a fade to black call is not respected, contact the staff. If a staff member is not available, quit the game and contact LAW at admin@sunderingshadows.com or via <lawmail>in game.
