THE RULES

1. The golden rule. Treat those as you would treat yourself.

Inappropriate behavior that will get you an immediate strike includes: ship pushing, being overly sexual in public game related places where it is not otherwise marked NSFW (the game discord for example), forcing interactions with other players, ignoring DNI requests or permission posts/opt-outs, arguing with mod decisions for an extended period of time (someone who just won't listen), using aliases to get around bans, attempting to take over/become the protagonist of the plot to the detriment of other players (hogging event sign ups or acting hostile towards players that get boons from events that you wanted, for example), making private cliques to gossip-- and I'll add more if I have to deal with anything else.

I also would like to add, that the mods have every right to remove you from the game without a strike if they feel that they need to.

2. No god modding, no fourth walling without consent of the other player, no info-modding.

3. Actions will have repercussions. If your character does something that would be deserving of a punishment or will result in a negative direction towards the plot, I won't shy from that! And please remember that negative CR does not reflect on the person behind the character tagging you. If you feel as though someone is bleeding IC/OOC lines and having their characters react too harshly to something your character does, it's probably not that deep!

However, you may always come to the mods if a player is taking something too far and/or making you uncomfortable.

4. Make sure to read and respect each other's permission posts/triggers. It's important to know what may or may not make your fellow players uncomfortable, especially in a setting that deals with horror.

5. Properly tag and lock your posts! If you write something with smut, please write it in a locked post to the log comm. (You may use it for AC and bonus AC.) Same with posts that may contain a gratuitous amount of gore, body horror, vomit, and things of that nature.

6. Talk to a mod before planning any game changing arc for your character. I know it's easy to get swept up in excitement when you get a good idea, but you never know if an idea you have is something the mods already had in mind for future events!

7. You cannot kill NPCs without permission.

8. And finally............. have fun :)
