ℑ RULES
✒rules.
(Rules are not listed in order of importance.)
01 ✣ be respectful
➙ This shouldn't have to be said, but please respect your fellow players! There are other people on the other side of that screen, and if you treat everyone with respect,this will be a great experience all around!
02 ✣ IC ≠ OOC
➙ Just because your characters don't get along does not mean that you can't get along with the other players! The players are not the people playing them, so do not bring drama from in game into OOC interactions. Conversely, do not bring OOC problems or knowledge into IC interactions! Just because you know someone isn't to be trusted, doesn't mean your character will.
03 ✣ no godmodding
➙ We don't care if your character is a super genius. Things will take time to figure out, and if your character figures everything out within a week, then the experience will not be fun for everyone! Of course, that shouldn't be possible anyway, as any and all plot points will be handed out slowly. Also, please do not assume what the other character is doing. This goes back to question one. Please respect the other characters, and you will get the same respect back! If there's information you want your character to figure out or something you're unsure of, ask a mod!
04 ✣ these memories are here to stay!
➙ ... Sort of. The memories that your character has been given will not crack so easily. Things that seem out-of-place will give your character the willies, and may put them on edge, but at the end of the day, they do not have any recollection of their former lives. It will be a very long process to figure out that your memories have been fabricated, and although they may come to suspect this as certain evidence arises, that knowledge alone isn't enough.
05 ✣ relationships
➙ While this game is friendly to relationships of all sorts, remember that you are playing in a city that is in the 1930's. You will need to play accordingly, and the standards of the period apply! If you play a character that sleeps around quite a bit and do not hide the fact, expect to be shunned by your peers! (That said, prostitution is a viable occupation.)
06 ✣ play ICly
➙ Just because your characters have been given a new situation in which they do not remember who they were, they still are who they were. This game is not an excuse to play them Out of Character, and if your character is being played extremely OOCly, we will remind you (gently) to please keep it in-character! Understandably there may be some slight differences, but keep in mind they went to sleep normal and woke up here -- therefore, their personality should remain for the most part completely intact.
07 ✣ DO NOT start wank
➙ Please. It's rude. If you have a problem with the game or with a player, please bring it to the mods, and we will deal with it.
08 ✣ 1 day = 1 day
➙ Although real-time is a little quick for some, it's easiest to manage and know the day of the week, and the month, the weather, etc. If it becomes a problem, we may later modify how fast time moves.
09 ✣ 6 character limit
➙ Six characters is a lot to manage, when you consider the mysteries the characters are going to be faced with, so odds are that the limit is not being raised.
10 ✣ please run any plots, especially big ones, by the MODS
➙ The game has a complex plot in place already, so please let us know if you have any plots your character wants to start so we can make sure it's doable and won't interfere with what's already happening. But this is not to say, by any means, that characters can not start their own plots! If anything, we encourage it. This game is not going to be completely plot- and mod-driven whatsoever, we want our players to have fun.
11 ✣ the age limit to play here is sixteen.
➙ Because of the darkness of the setting, and the probable involvement of murder, murderERS, sex, gangs, and other dangerous games, no one under sixteen is allowed to play here.
12 ✣ maturity warnings
➙ Please label any mature logs AS SUCH and, if necessary, lock them.
13 ✣ grammar and spelling
➙ No one is perfect, but please, there is a certain required amount of proficiency in both areas needed to play here. If it's In-Character for your character to be poor at spelling, let us know, and something can be worked out.
14 ✣ tagging
➙ Entries in![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
thespiderswalk and thespiderslogs made by your character must have their full name in the tags. Repetitive tags such as Character B and Character B 'B' BB will be deleted.
at any time, these rules may be extended to accommodate for the ever-evolving player base, and as issues may arise.
Breaking any of the above rules will result in a gentle warning by the mods. Depending on the rule(s) broken, 3 stern warnings will likely result in said player being asked to leave.
