This page is for policies that are likely to be formally added, but content is still being workshopped by staff.

Dead Horse

Occasionally, a specific topic of RP may cause so many headaches that staff may dictate how it gets resolved and insist that it not be pursued further.

This is a drastic measure and not to be used lightly. Examples of what will justify it:

  • Severe OOC rudeness
  • Attempting to barrel at high speed toward violation of another policy

Actual past example, of the 'super rude' variety: Player #1, feeling ICly scorned by #2 and #3, wanted to abduct them for a scene, show #2 video of #3 being killed, then reveal that the video was faked and vent about their feelings before letting them go. Had they OOCly explained up front (at least to staff) and been polite, it probably would have proceeded as desired. Instead, they yelled at players and staff alike that they needed to log into the game and do his thing Right Now. Staff intervened, declared that the relevant events had already ICly occurred as desired, and ordered everyone to drop the subject thereafter.
