Code of Conduct

Pure Pazaak - General Code of Conduct
We're all mature adults here, so there's no real need to have some draconian rule set that dictates every sentence of your IC and OOC gaming experience. The people in this guild are, in one way or another, previously acquainted with one another and it's a general expectation that every member of the guild will treat all other guild members with respect.

We all understand that not every person can get along with everyone all the time; we simply ask that you be mature about conflicts and try to do your best to be proactive about solving them. If you need help with a problem, or don't feel comfortable approaching someone, please let someone know and we'll do our best to resolve the issue and get back to playing!

Out of Character Conduct
We're all pals here, and there shouldn't be much to talk about here. So, in the spirit of keeping things simple, we'll settle for this rule:

1. Be good to each other.

It has a lot of names, most famously the "Golden Rule". Just do it.

In Character Conduct
Here's where things will get a little bit more explicit, not because we think that our guild members are idiots - just to try and eliminate confusion and make it very clear where we stand on issues in character. If you have any questions about these rules, we can talk about them at length in gchat, the mumble, in game... whatever.

They are more intended to establish a general framework that players can work from. In the end, especially if you're doing a private scene, it's best for the players to work out what is most comfortable for them. The point is really just to have a good time and facilitate smoother gameplay.

So, without further ado:

1. Respect the player.

Good roleplay comes from a trust between two or more players that the people they are gaming with will treat them fairly. Do not berate someone for their play style. If you have an issue with someone consistently "god-modding" without previous consent (say, for pre-scripted events) bring it up with them - I don't think we should have a problem with it, but you never know.

2. Actions have consequences; deal with it. Have fun with it!

 The best part about watching a game is seeing the ripples of character actions affect the whole game in one way or another. Decisions that your character makes may not be the best for them; if your character makes an enemy or pisses off their BFF it's okay. OOC, we're all still friends (and probably soaking up the sweet drama/angst/etc from the fallout).

3. Be tasteful.

While you might be comfrotable with more explicit sex/torture/violence RP, others might not be. The best bet is to keep it tasteful and indulge in strategic fade-to-blacks (or keep descriptions vague) unless there is a mutual "ok" to go further.
