ROOM RULES

PICTURES:

We prefer that pictures do not exceed 200X300 pixel size or any reasonable combination leading to that for those of us with slower connections. Any pictures that are over 350 pixels on any side will automatically be shown as a link due to the coding of the rooms.

We are not currently aware of any KB limits; if and when they are set, it will be posted here.

No blinking or animated pictures, please!

Pictures containing sexually explicit positions or exposed sexual organs are not permitted.

LANGUAGE:

Profanity is totally unacceptable in a handle or tag and in out of character (OOC) speech. While it may be used sparingly in IC (in character) writing, the best way to avoid any problems is to use an abbreviation (sh*t). Using a foul word as an exit is an automatic 24 hour ban.

GENERAL BEHAVIOR:

We do not assume responsibility for the content of the chat. Please remember that minors will probably be present and post accordingly! If your story's content is too graphic for Buffy the Vampire Slayer or X Files, it's too graphic. No matter how well written, cybersex is out. If you wouldn't do it in the mall, your characters shouldn't be doing it in this room

 Avoid any illegal activities defined by the laws in both your own place of residence and the United States, including but not limited to:

 

Advocating hacking, cracking or spamming

 

Distribution, use or advocacy of warez

 

Acts of vandalism

 

Other forms of harassment

 

Pornography is strictly forbidden and any display or links to such will be banned.

 

Child pornography in any form (including but not limited to advocacy, distribution or participation in same)

 

 Imping (AKA Handle stealing, or taking on the identity of another character or a mun) is forbidden!

 

POLITE BEHAVIOR:

Behave respectfully towards each other, treat others as you would want to be treated yourself. Be tolerant of other players! If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all, and don't critique a game unless you're actively involved in it. If an OOC arguement should erupt, don't jump in. Asking people to take it to PM and/or contact staff is the best way to handle this. Everyone is here to have fun, and while some folks' gaming style may differ greatly from yours, telling them you consider their character or story lame or stupid only creates hurt feelings. It doesn't change anyone's style of play, and just results in an arguement that disturbs everyone else's game. When in doubt, please ask a more experienced player, check further here in the Guidebook, or email the inn. Use the Ignore feature instead of arguing with another player.

Whatever should transpire between Characters, the Players should show basic respect to one another, refraining from OOC name calling, insults or unwelcome criticism concerning Role Play style or knowledge. We must all understand that this is just a game and meant to be played In Character. If a Character is rude or combatant towards your character it is not meant as a personal reflection of his/her feelings towards you. If you feel another player is being unfair with his/her role play, rather than disrupt the Role Playing enviroment with OOC arguements or name calling, any disputes concerning conflicts in Role Playing styles should be handled in PM's or a private room. Also, if you are unable to settle dispute you may ask for someone to mediate.
