Community Guidelines

1. No discrimination. We abhor racism, sexism, LGBTQA+phobia, ableism, and other forms of discrimination. As a member, you will be expected to refrain from expressing, encouraging, or acting upon such bigotry.

2. Stay Civil. It's totally okay to disagree with other members of the server, and we welcome discussion. We do, however, expect you to refrain from personal attacks or other kinds of verbal abuse.

3. Keep things PG-13. This game's world is dark and violent, but violence will only be depicted in great detail when it's appropriate to emphasize its horror. Swearing will be limited to moments where the player feels it's warranted. Sex and nudity may be mentioned, but not described in more detail.

4. Be respectful. This game emphasizes elements of horror and politics, meaning that we may deal with themes such as (institutional) inequality, body horror, and trauma. We recognize that these themes reflect the suffering of real-life people, and therefore strive to treat them with care and in good faith. We expect our members to do the same.

5. Respect boundaries. Role-playing-games can occasionally see players running into themes that make them uncomfortable. If someone wants to leave or alter a scene for this reason, respect their choice. Work with them to resolve the situation. If you feel that a scene is crossing your boundaries, feel free to ask the other players to change course. If you find it easier, you could also use the line and veil commands to summon stock messages. This process is explained below.

6. Validation. When you're done reading, you can gain the member role by clicking on the snowflake emoji under the Validation post in #Welcome.

7. Post in the correct channels. We have a #serious and a #off-topic channel. Both are there for a reason. When an admin or moderator directs you to move a conversation elsewhere, please oblige without making a fuss.

SERVER COMMANDS

Command: 123Line

Summons: "The user is signifying that something about the way the scene is going is making them uncomfortable. The scene is now put on pause, as you discuss OOC how to proceed.

''People may want to leave the scene. Respect this decision, and give their character a way out without punishing them or their character. Please do not hesitate to ping me (TheHauntedTopHat), or another Admin or Moderator if you feel it might help. :)"''

Command: 123Veil

Summons: "The user is signifying that something about the way the scene is going is making them uncomfortable. The scene is now put on pause, as you discuss OOC how to proceed.

''A veil is basically a fade to black. Something might still happen, and we might say what happens in very abstract terms, but we otherwise skip over the scene. You've probably seen this in the movies: we know the characters get tortured, for instance, but we don't see it happen on screen.''

''Please respect people's wishes in this regard. Please do not hesitate to ping me (TheHauntedTopHat), or another Admin or Moderator if you feel it might help. :)"''
