This is a game, and we can settle all disagreements amicably. Always be considerate out of character (OOC) and on the game/discord lines.

Rule 2: Roleplaying is Enforced

You are expected to stay in character (IC) and adhere to our setting guide. Roleplay in accordance with the environment, as well as your stats, skills, class, race, and resonance. All characters must be played as adults, both physically and mentally.

Always write in English and avoid using modern abbreviations and idioms.

Rule 4: Automation

Any scripts, triggers, etc., that automate gameplay are illegal. Do not exploit bugs or mechanics. If something seems broken, report it via our game command.

Rule 5: NOPK flag

Antagonistic actions are defined as any action that purposefully provokes or annoys another character. Examples: Verbal insults or threats, unsolicited romantic interactions, snitching, breaking city laws, emoting offensive actions, invasion of privacy, stealing from other players, scrying, being in a shapeshifted form, bringing an animal into a civilized area, and using dangerous, harmful and/or disruptive spells/abilities.

See NOPK for how to roleplay with a nopk flag.

Rule 6: Consent

Sexual encounters require the consent of all involved characters and must take place in private.

You must use the consent command to give and receive OOC consent before the scene can start. If consent is not given, the scene cannot happen. If consent is withdrawn, the scene must stop. Romantic interactions require the consent of participating characters, while sexual encounters require the consent of everyone present.

NOTE: If someone does not comply with the consent rules as outlined here and in help consent, please use consent warn NAME to let them know or consent log to quietly log the interaction. This will alert staff of a transgression. If the warning is not complied with, you are encouraged to remove yourself from the situation or log off. Please use the lawmail command or contact staff in a PM on Discord to report the interaction. If you chose to use a Discord channel, flag @ admin to make sure we see it.
