Rules

In-Character (IC) Rules

Realism: Maintain a level of realism that fits within the medieval fantasy genre. Avoid modern references, slang, and technology.
Character Integrity: Stick to your character’s personality, background, and motivations. Actions must be consistent with your character’s nature.
Language and Speech: Use appropriate medieval language when speaking in-character (IC). While not everyone needs to speak in Elizabethan English, avoid contemporary language and slang.
Interaction: Be respectful to other players' characters. Do not force interactions or plotlines on others. Always ask for consent before engaging with another character.
Role-Play Consent: Always ask for permission before affecting another player’s character in any way (e.g., touching, attacking, imprisoning). This prevents godmodding.
Character Development: Use your RP time to build your character’s story and relationships. Personal growth and change should be gradual.
RP Combat and Injury: Combat must be agreed upon by both players. Describe actions and allow the other player to respond. No "god-modding" (taking control of others' actions or invincibility).
Character wealth: You can have a backstory where your character is rich. Keep in mind that Backstory Money is often referred to as foreign currency in Roleplay, where other Role-Players require Local Currency, "HUD Coin."

Out of Character (OOC) Rules

Respectful Behavior: Treat other players with kindness and respect, regardless of their character’s actions or opinions.
Drama and Conflicts: Do not bring IC conflicts into OOC chats. If there is an issue with another player, handle it privately or with the help of a Moderator.
Griefing and Harassment: Any form of griefing, harassment, or abusive behavior will not be tolerated. Report any issues to a Moderator immediately.
Do not Metagame: Do not use knowledge your character could not reasonably know to gain an advantage. This includes OOC chat, prior knowledge of another player’s character, or information from outside sources. If your character is investigating som
Do not Powergame: When a player is RP’ing an all-powerful character and refuses to acknowledge weaknesses and consequences.
Do not Godmode: When a player is emoting emotions, responses, actions on behalf of another character without consent of the person it is happening to.
No Underage avatars or characters. We are an adult sim. You can RP NPCs, for example, someone being pregnant or they holding a baby npc in arms.

Presence in Roleplay

Entering a Scene: Players must actively post into a scene to be considered present. By posting, you consent to participating in the RP.
Observing Only (OOC): If a player does not post in a scene, it is assumed they are not there IC (In-Character) and are merely observing OOC (Out of Character).
Awareness in RP: You cannot roleplay your character witnessing or overhearing actions or dialogue IC if you have not established your presence in the scene through posting.
Consistent Participation: To remain present in a scene, players must engage consistently. Posting once and then remaining silent (e.g., lurking without further interaction) is not a valid way to participate in RP.
Character Identity Rules: All GPHUDs must display a character's "name" or "nickname" that reflects their true identity. Roleplayers have the right to know OOC the name of the characters they are interacting with, even if an IC disguise is being used.
Disguise: When using a disguise, we recomend you to set your titler with somethink like "Disguised, Alias: ...."

Consequences and Violations

Warnings: First offenses will receive a warning. Subsequent offenses may result in temporary bans (ranging from 24 hours to one week), depending on the severity.
Bans: In cases of severe violations (e.g., harassment, intentional griefing, repeated godmodding), players may face permanent bans.
Appeals: Players who believe they have been unjustly penalized may appeal by opening a ticket on Discord or contacting any of the Owners.
