Discord Chat Rules

Discord Skype  RP Rules These rules were created to add sense of order and to keep the RP server from going to chaos. This is written to best protect the RPers and their interests as well as avoid past problems that have been encountered in other RP chats. For a more complete and fully explained version, please see the Google Doc version of the rules here: https://goo.gl/jvOeoo These rules will likely not be updated in the future as there is a version on the server which makes more sense to update once the event has started, though since no one is on the server yet I’m sharing them here.

1. No NSFW chat!  Keep it PG 13. There may be mild fighting descriptions in battles both mun are okay with.  2. No God Modding. If you would like to be a DM / Run a campaign plot please talk to the Mods.  3. Talk to the mun. Talk to the mod. If you are planning to do something involving someone else's character and are not the DM, ask the mun privately first. If you are in a DMed game, some actions will need the DM's permission or be verified through dice rolls first.  4. @ everyone has been turned off to prevent abuse.  Talk to a mod as we can make annoucements for things that legitimately affect most if not all members.  5. Your character should act ONLY with their own knowledge and motivation. Things the mun is privy to the muse would not know unless they learn in plot. 6. No muns allowed in the RP rooms! This wildly destroys continuity and plot. Muses may appear in OOC chat for crack interaction, but be respectful of the muns.  7. No personal life stress allowed! The focus of this channel is RP. If you'd like to get to know your fellow mun better and talk about real life things please visit our sister server, the Salt Shaker: https://discord.gg/c3fAdN2 . Rp should take place on the main server, not the Salt Shaker. 8. No breaking the fourth wall without prior mod approval. Things like fourth wall breaking and psychic abilities should be discussed with the Mods or campaign DM. 9. You may start with only one muse. After one month you may ask the mods if you can add a second muse. If approved by a mod to play multiple muses please make a separate discord account for each secondary muse as the locations/rooms you are allowed in are based on who that muse is. There may be exceptions (ie. Happy and Mania are both Floweys and would likely have access to the same areas, so in this case an icon/name change would suffice. Ask a mod to be sure if you qualify for an exception.) 10. Anyone who is kicked will be banned for a time determined by the mods based on if you have been problematic before and how bad what you did was. Kicking is not a personal insult or attack, it’s a way to maintain order and keep things from going further to chaos. It’s possible both parties may be temp kicked while the mods figure out what happened.   11. Abuse of other members will not be tolerated IC or OOC. You are responsible for what your muse does, and if you or your muse intentionally harasses or abuses someone else you will be banned. If someone is making you uncomfortable you should try talking to them privately first, then talk to the mods. If someone is harassing you on Tumblr directly BLOCK THEM.  12. Do not bash mutuals/fellow RPers! Talking badly about someone is genuinely different than asking for help with problems you are having with someone. If you're not sure if what you're going to say is okay, ask yourself, "Would I post this if they could see this chat/screenshot?" If not, don't say it. If you are having problems with another member talk to the mods rather than starting drama in the chat.  13. Change your nickname to your muse's name and put your Tumblr name after that in brackets. I.e. Lucida [askLucida] Next add your muse, blog, and photo to the introductions room. Later when you make a character rp sheet you should edit your post to include a link to that as well. That will let us know you read the rules and the mods will give you permission to access the other rooms once we see it. Be patient if the mods are not online.  14. If you want to interact, be active about it! If you wait for others to initiate interaction with you we won't know you are online. Many people stay signed in to Discord even while not on their computer. Try starting an RP by saying that you walk into the room and greet whoever is RPing, or if no one is RPing say what your character is doing every so often ("My muser walks into the room and looks to see who is here." "My muse turns on the radio and frowns at the song playing.") 15. No chat spamming! If you want to share memes and play with bots, there's a room in the Salt Shaker for that. A few pics or videos is fine on the main server, just don't overdo it.(edited) 16. If you are RPing and have to step away please let your partners know if you are going AFK (leaving for 5 minutes or less) or will BBL (more than 5 minutes) so they know if they should be waiting for you, or if you would like your character written into an out of the way place/NPC'd until you return. 17. If you want to ask if someone can be invited into a hidden area outside the general shared areas, ask within that area, not the general chat where everyone else can see. Some of these areas are secret for a reason.

Formatting

On discord you can format using these commands: * For italic,  * * For bold, * * * For bold italic,  __ For underline,  ~~ For strikethrough. (Before and after what is typed)

Actions: Some of us like to type using /me to indicate an action, while others of us will use storybook writing to indicate the actions a character takes.

Psychic/Hivemind: If a character is speaking psychically to another [It will appear like this.] You should address who you are speaking to the first time you use these so the other mun know if their muse can hear this or not. {A  bracket like this} Is the Hedge Hivemind, anyone in the Hivemind can hear this unless otherwise indicated.

Text : Text messages on cellphones that can only be seen by that character (can also be sent in private chat so other characters and mun do not know) << Text>>

Character speech: Some of us will use “quotes” to indicate what a character is saying, others will use a * before speech, still others simply type as if their character is the one speaking into the text box. These are all allowable writing styles since we all write differently. Additionally strikeout text can be used for funny things that your character thought or wanted to say but didn’t actually. It may also give minor contextual clues such as something like, “I’m fine” he lied if you want the other mun to know it is a lie but not necessarily the characters.

Whispers: Whispers can be indicated by [these brackets]

Out of Character: Things such as reactions or additional context should be written like //this or strikeout for additional comments.

**Bold** and *Italic* use is considered stylistic and can be used in combination for emphasis. Some will use it to differentiate when an NPC is talking vs their main character.

Notifications!

By default @ everyone is available only to admins to prevent abuse. However, you can request an admin add you to one of these groups if you would like to be notified of events pertaining to that classification. Mentions will be made in the ooc_chat. The currently available titles are:

RpTime: You'll be notified whenever an ongoing game open to everyone is starting   StreamTime: You'll be notified whenever anyone is having a movie or art stream GameTime: Whenever someone is starting a game like Cards Against Humanity or other games open to everyone you'll receive a notification

If you would like to be PMed whenever your username is mentioned type" `pmmentions on " in the ooc_chat and Spoopy will message you.

Please do not abuse these group notifications; ask in chat first if people are interested, and if at least two other people are you can send a group notification letting others know there is interest in RPing. Don't send out more than one a day AT THE MOST or this gets tiresome. This may be reduced even further if it becomes a problem.
