====== Community Rules ======
The following rules apply across all platforms: in-game, in the Discord, and on profiles. Violations may result in warnings, kicks, or bans depending on severity.
Please reread this occasionally as it will change to reflect our expectations of the community.

===== Communication, Behavior, and Profile =====

**The Golden Rule:** Do not ping/interrupt Crazah on Discord for any reason other than an immediate game breaking bug.

**1. Be respectful**  
  * We expect players to respect one another even when in disagreement. There are no exceptions.  
  * You do not have to like each other, but you do have to get along if you want to be here.  
  * If you cannot engage in civil conversation, remove yourself from the situation. If you cannot remove yourself, log out and make a ticket.  
  * It is a priority for us that this place remains a positive space for everybody.

**1a** 
  *It is expected that you provide others with the chance to respond to your actions, and that you provide them the chance to emote if they feel a moment calls for it. 
  *If someone is dying it is expected to allow them to make a post for their final moments out of respect. We are playing this game together. Give courtesy as you would a friend.
  
**1b** 
  *Anyone acting in such a way as to ruin the experience for others will be removed at discretion of the current Head Admin and Crazah.

**2. No Racism or Bigotry**  
  * We do not tolerate hate speech or slurs of any sort.  
  * This includes (but is not limited to): racism, sexism, religious hate, or identity-based harassment.

**3. Do not circumvent our Discord's chat filter.**

**4. Do not spam in-game or in the Discord.**

**5. Do not post personal information of another player without their consent.**

**6. Do not impersonate another player or staff member.**

**7. Character names and backgrounds must follow in-character lore.**  
  * Example of unacceptable names: `John Alter`, `xxSlayer420`.

**8. Do not encourage other players to break the rules.**  
  * This includes tricking another player into doing so.

**9. No metagaming.**  
  * Do not use knowledge your character hasn't learned in-game.  
  * Do not carry knowledge between characters. IC (in-character) and OOC (out-of-character) must remain separate.  
  * Each character's backstory should only introduce skills and knowledge that make sense in-character.  
  * Example: Knowing how to build Replicants based solely on your backstory is not acceptable.

**10. No metagrudging.**  
  * Do not target a character due to who their player is or your relationship to that player.

**11. Do not advertise other games without admin permission.**

**12. No adult content.**  
  * This includes but is not limited to sexual encounters, depictions of torture, or graphic mutilation.  
  * Such scenes may be "blackscreened" (fade to black) **only with consent from all parties**.  
  * If you must roleplay such content, do so in DMs **outside** the game or official Discord.  
  * NSFW profile pictures or descriptions are not allowed. If unsure, choose a safer alternative.

**13. Alts are not allowed at this time. It is intended that the game prevents multiple characters from the same IP. If you are two unique persons that share a home or internet connection please speak with staff in a ticket regarding this issue.**
  * Do not transfer items between characters.
  * Do not drop items somewhere for your alt to pick up.

**14. Do not circumvent game systems for personal benefit.**

**15. Do not abuse bugs.**  
  * Report bugs unless you're sure they've already been reported.  
  * If unsure, report it anyway.

**16. Do not staff shop.**  
  * Do not seek out another staff member to avoid punishment from a different one.  
  * If you feel mistreated, open a ticket instead.

**17. Do not Ninja Res / Ninja Loot People**
  * If you are not a part of a combat scene. Do not pick up downed players. 
  * Do not interact with dropped items or attempt to interact with things inside the scene un-till the combat concludes and after actions are completed.
