IC/OOC

In Character (IC)/Out of Character (OOC)

YOU WILL STAY *IC* AT ALL TIMES. All real life matters are left at login. This is an IC world, OOC matters and things from real
life have no place here.

Unless you are using the OOC channel, or you make it absolutely clear that you are speaking or acting in an OOC manner. This no longer is an option. You will stay in role, you will maintain an appropriate fantasy themed role (insane bloodthirsty killer doesn’t work), and you will stay IC unless absolutely necessary. This will take place via force. Yes, force. If you use the wrong channel, or make an inappropriate remark you will face a short freeze period of 5 minutes each time. (ie: You shout, ‘hey so-and-so if you are send me a tell’, acceptable would be: You shout, ‘so-and-so if you are in the realm, please contact me’)

If you are found committing a roleless act, it will be up to the immortal to decide what to do to you, no more warnings, no more second chances. If you kill someone, either directly or not, you best have a reason, because you most likely will be asked why.  If your reason is not within role, then expect action to be taken.  If you are in a group, and someone else deals the death blow, you better have a reason for helping the group. Roleless PKing will no longer be tolerated. You need a definate role, and a definate reason. What if you were walking along and suddenly got slayed? No reason, no explanation. By the time you got back to your corpse, it was empty, nothing was left. Would you be upset?  Yes we expect so. How is that different from summoning someone into a trap? or gangbanging someone who has no skill at all in a 5:1 battle? The only difference, they live a bit longer,  the death takes more time. Hammurabi’s Law Code. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Such thinking will be used when judging how to deal with a roleless pk. If you get less, you’re lucky.

Do not expect warning. If you kill today, and no one says anything don’t expect you got away with it. You may well face someone tomorrow. Roleplay is not an option, it is a requirement. PKing is respected, and encouraged, but not without a role basis. The walls will be watching and listening. You are responsible for knowing this policy, and acting in according to it. If you do not agree with these
matters, you may be upset, you may wish to leave, if roleplaying is not for you, then you will not flourish here. That is unfortunate,
but we are a ‘G’ rated (keep that in mind as well) roleplaying MUD, and from this point on, we require everyone to stay in role unless
it is noted otherwise.

No longer will you switch between your characters, and go right on talking to the same people. No longer will you reveal your alts to
anyone online. No longer will you just because you are bored, go kill some random weakling for 30 minute of entertainment at their
severe cost. No longer will you use internet slang, such as ‘u’,'y’, ‘lol’, ‘stfu’, ‘r’, and others. This is a roleplaying world and you are expected to act in accordance with such.
