These rules are considered soft guidelines, as they often stem from misunderstandings or mistakes and don’t always warrant punishment. However, breaking them can still result in a warning or even a ban.

✦ No Powergaming, Metagaming, or Godmodding

• Powergaming: Do not force actions on other players without their consent (e.g., "You are knocked out" without their agreement).

• Metagaming: Avoid using OOC information to gain an unfair advantage in roleplay. Just because you, the player, know something doesn’t mean your character does. If your character hasn't witnessed or learned something, don’t use it in your actions.

• Godmodding: Do not control or dictate the actions of other players’ characters without their permission. Allow everyone the freedom to react and contribute to the scene.
  
  

✦ We encourage everyone to be kind and approachable within our community. Instead of assuming the worst, practice patience and courtesy—a simple “No, thank you” or even no response at all is far better than lashing out or talking down to someone.

✦ Avoid drama and escalation. If you have an issue with another player, try to communicate respectfully and work toward a resolution. If that’s not possible, we recommend distancing yourself and using the Block feature if needed.

✦ Always remember that you are in control. You are never obligated to roleplay anything you’re uncomfortable with or engage with anyone you don’t wish to interact with. Your safety and comfort come first.

✦ There’s no shame in having limits—don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Limits exist to protect you and help guide you toward the roleplay experiences you truly want, rather than those you don’t. We encourage you to clearly express your limits and interests in your profile.

✦ Respect boundaries, both in-character (IC) and out-of-character (OOC). If a player expresses discomfort or asks you to stop, do so immediately. Take the time to check profiles for limits and interests, or simply ask.

✦ Respect the line between roleplay and real behavior. In-character conflicts and insults can add drama and excitement to a scene, but they should enhance the experience for everyone involved. Remember, there's a clear difference between your character being antagonistic and you, as a player, being disrespectful.

✦ Avoid Playing a Mary Sue/Gary Stu

Characters who are flawless, overpowered, or always the center of attention—often called "Mary Sues" or "Gary Stus"—can make roleplay less enjoyable for others. Realistic characters with strengths, weaknesses, and room for growth create more engaging and immersive stories. Everyone should have a chance to contribute, so be mindful of giving others space to shine.

✦ Communicate and Collaborate. Roleplay is a shared experience. Be open to discussing plots, conflicts, and character interactions with others to ensure everyone is on the same page. Consent and mutual enjoyment are key.

✦ Respect Posting Order and Be Patient

Respect the posting order in group roleplay and be patient with others’ responses. Avoid rushing or skipping turns. If someone needs more time, kindly check in rather than moving ahead. In busy spaces, maintaining post order can be tricky, so if your post is missed, don’t take it personally.

✦ Embrace Losing for Better Storylines

You don’t need to win every battle, sometimes losing creates the most interesting and engaging storylines. Don’t be afraid to let your character face challenges and setbacks. These moments can lead to growth, unexpected twists, and deeper connections with others.

✦ Own the Consequences of Your IC Actions

Creating conflict in-character (IC) can drive exciting storylines, but it’s important to face the consequences of those actions. Avoiding fallout or ignoring the impact of your choices can disrupt the roleplay and undermine the experience for others. Embrace the fallout—it adds depth to your character and enhances the narrative for everyone.

✦ Separate Yourself from Your Character
Immersing in your character is fun, but it’s important not to take things too seriously. Roleplay is a shared experience, and what happens to your character isn’t a reflection of you. Keeping that separation helps you stay relaxed, handle conflicts gracefully, and ensure the experience remains enjoyable.
