The Rules and Guidelines
« on: April 24, 2018, 09:12:06 PM »
Etiquette:

1. All of roleplayevolution.com's site sules apply. Please read and adhere to them. 

2. Our Golden Rule: Treat others the way you want to be treated. Don't be rude.

3. Check all of the out-of-character drama at the door. This is a drama-free zone. Please be forewarned: There is a LOW tolerance for o-o-c altercations. If you have a problem with someone in attendance you can simply ignore them.  Or you can use the site resources and functions available to you. That said, in-character drama is what we are looking for!

4. Please try to keep out-of-character chat to a minimum when there are multiple stories being told in room.  While we do like people chewing the fat or a healthy friendly debate when there is a long break in the action, we do NOT appreciate excessive banter while players are telling a story. Be considerate to those who are waiting on in-character posts.

5. Take a proper name. We want to welcome you and have you join us. Curious observers are more than welcome. But using an "anonymous" name will get you promptly ushered out and off the premises. Our bouncers are beasts!


Roleplay:

1. DWC is a “hybrid” room.  Modern fantasy, Urban fantasy, horror, and apocalyptic stories are all welcome. Not all storylines will intersect, but some will. Create your storyline, cast your player(s), and go!

2. No LKH characters. (See here for more about acceptable characters)

3. Your first 2 characters in DWC do not and will not require a character sheet. However, for every 3rd character you bring in 1 must be submitted and may be subject to “room-sponsored” storylines. Only submitted characters can become involved in room campaigns and events. Of course, you can decide to submit sheets at will for any or every character. A character is considered "IN" the DWC room after about five separate days of at least one in-character post.

4. FYI: For some campaigns (not all!), DWC adopts elements of old World of Darkness storytelling.

5. The playing out of mass destruction or carnage will not be allowed or recognized unless you have an approved character-sheet or an approved story-line in room. The unauthorized damage to any setting or NPC is a big no-no unless you have been approved by the person running your story. Player-on-player harm WITHOUT being approved (unless agreed upon by consenting parties) is also a no-no. Keep in mind that actions have consequences.  Room leadership reserves the right to set plot devices in motion to counteract major disturbances.

6. There is a big difference between out-of-character information and in-character information. Please recognize and know the difference. No character is "all-knowing."

7. This is an adult setting. Nudity, violence, vulgar language and strong sexual themes will happen. If you are under the age of 18 -- do not participate or observe.  If you are offended by anything you are witnessing you may promptly exit.

8. Room leadership will attempt to mediate or arbitrate any IC or OOC matters of conflict. But in the end the RC's decision is law and is final. All of DWC rules are subject to change at the room owner's discretion.
 
9. The most important rule of all: Have fun!
