Rule Expansion/Clarification

Post by Queen Titania » Wed Dec 16, 2020 7:25 pm

We've made the following clarities and expansion to our rules, this has been updated on the wiki and will be updated in the IG Journal in the coming days.

You can read the changes below, and read the full text on the wiki.

Rule name changes:
  1. Rule 1: Role Play
  2. Rule 2: Abide by the Rules of Engagement
  3. Rule 3: No Excessive Theft
  4. Rule 4: Be Civil
  5. Rule 5: Keep Content 'T'
  6. Rule 6: Listen to the DMs
Rule content changes:
Rule 1: Role Play
We expect you to Role Play here.
OOC and // talk are not allowed. Stay in character, which is what happens on the game server, not 'offline' (forums, chat services, voice, etc). Famous characters, using unearned titles, or using external software to modify the physical appearance of your character (including headpaks) is prohibited. Also note, that character names, skin tones, etc. can be rejected at DM's discretion and if asked, you are expected to remake without complaint. Similarly, if your character concept is harmful to the immersion of the world (e.g. you're playing Drizzt) you will be asked to delete and start over with a different concept.

Rule 4: Be Civil
(As before, just removing initial mention of 'PG-13')

Rule 5: Keep Content 'T'
Arelith is not an 'M'-rated server; all behavior should be consistent with a 'T'-rated game. This includes, but is not limited to:

1. No sexual content, either in the form of explicit content or content intended for sexual gratification. Use appropriate restraint with any 'intimate' RP. Additionally, themes of rape/nonconsent are COMPLETELY forbidden.

2. No severe or excessive swearing. Use moderation and good sense. Real-world racial or other slurs/etc. are COMPLETELY forbidden.

3. No excessive gore, graphic violence, or 'torture porn.' You can allude to it, but don't go into hideous detail. Suicide and suicidal themes also fall under umbrella: don't bring it into the game.

4. Not specific to 'T'-rated content but relevant, children should not be roleplayed here.

If you're not sure whether something is appropriate to say or emote outright, then either don't do it or write around it.

Any questions on the rules as always can be brought to the DM Team.
