  • Rule 0: Follow Community Rules See #Community-Rules on Discord. We seek to develop a more relaxed and chill atmosphere in terms of out-of-character interactions. As such, we will not be afraid to make administrative actions to remove individuals that unnecessarily antagonize others. Be Respectful and Decent to One Another We ultimately expect people to respect and be decent to one another. If we spot that you are being a dick or being rude for little to no reason towards someone, you will be removed from the community, as it means you are not able to meet the bare minimum standards of not being a dick. Also, be gracious in defeat. If you hate losing, this server may not be for you. We do encourage conflict and action on the server, even if we are a roleplay first server. If you are using artwork that is not your own, you must acknowledge it does not belong to you in writing. If the owner of said artwork asks you to stop using it, you must comply and cease usage of said artwork from said owner.

  • By WehWeh and SoftServeDeath What is Roleplay Roleplaying is a collaborative social activity where players interact with one another to create a cohesive story like actors on a stage. Due to the collaborative nature of the activity, players must abide by a set of expectations and standards for it to work, otherwise, it becomes more like improv rather than roleplay. At the core of these expectations, each actor must react in a reasonable way to the actions of other actors to create a coherent storyline, and each actor must abide by a set standard so as to not break immersion. Players must understand that they must interact with others and add to the story, all without breaking immersion. Due to the social and communal nature of the activity, they must be willing to listen, adapt, and improve to conform to the community and its standards. However, one must not mistake the social nature of the game to think that it is a place solely for them to hang out with friends at the expense of roleplay or others. If they wish to OOCly hang out, they understand that the ghost cafe is most suitable for OOC social activity. Roleplay Standards Failure to follow the social contract can result in immersion breaking, most of which can result in low Roleplay (LRP) behavior. The most explicit derives from a lack of intent in roleplaying in good faith. These individuals are more interested in acting in ways that entertain them OOCly, typically at the expense of others trying to remain immersed. These individuals are subject to immediate bans if no improvement has been made.

However, not all LRP come from a place of bad faith necessarily, as it can come in other forms done entirely in good faith. Even good players with the best of intentions may come off as LRP through slip-ups, bad ideas, or sometimes bouts of thoughtlessness and laziness, so they should always be prepared to make changes and adapt when given critique by others including staff. While we are not interested in punishing good players for mistakes anyone can make, we may have to take action if a player is consistently making these mistakes without improvement.
