===== THE NOPK FLAG =====

New characters have a NOPK flag that protects them from aggressive characters.

To opt into PK (player killing), turn the flag off with the <set> command. When
you turn this flag off, you signal to the player base that you are ready to
engage in hostile roleplay. Ensure that you have read our <rules> and <post pk
rules> carefully before dropping your flag.

While under the protection of a NOPK flag, you may not take any antagonistic
actions towards other players. If someone provokes you, it is your
responsibility to back out of a hostile situation or turn your NOPK flag off. If
a conflict starts in your room, you must leave. 

If you have opted into PK, you may not purposefully antagonize a character with
an active NOPK flag, or attempt to pull them into a hostile situation. You may
however <threaten> them if provoked, and otherwise roleplay in accordance with
your character.

Non-PK races who are not in an active conflict and wish to have their NOPK flag
restored, can contact a member of staff via <avatarmail>.

==== PK RACES ==== 

Some races, known as advanced races or PK races, have their NOPK flag turned off
at creation. These races can be identified by the red warning in their
individual help file, and should also be listed in <help races>.

If your character's race changes for any reason and either race (old or new) is
a PK Race, you are considered a PK race while the changes are in effect.

==== ANTAGONISTIC ACTIONS ==== 

Antagonistic actions are defined as any action that purposely provokes or annoys
another character. See <help rules> for examples. Note that antagonistic does
not equal villainous. If you witness a crime as a NOPK character, you are not
allowed to act on that information if doing so would inconvenience the
perpetrator. You are, however, allowed to send up a pkmail/avatarmail alerting
us of the event.

==== NOPK IN PLOTS ==== 

An avatar may decide that their plot is unsuitable for NOPK characters. In these
situations, the avatar will give you the option of removing your flag or
withdraw from the plot.

==== NOPK AFTER PK ==== 

Characters that die in PK are given a temporary NOPK flag, even if they are of a
PK race. When under the protection of this flag, you must follow the rules
outlined above, in addition to those found in <help post pk>.

Remember that it is your responsibility to avoid hostile situations while you
have the flag: Stay away from known enemies and areas where your presence may
lead to conflict, and back out of any potentially hostile situation.
