3.1 In character and out of character. In-character (IC) and out-of-character (OOC) information are strictly separate. Your character may act only on what they have learned in character. (Warning – Jail 30 min)
3.2 Metagaming. Using OOC information in character — including Discord, livestreams, or information passed on outside the game — is prohibited. (Jail 60 min – Ban 3 days)
3.3 Powergaming. Powergaming is forcing an outcome on another player that they have no fair opportunity to respond to, or giving your character abilities, knowledge or resources they could not realistically have. It is prohibited. (Jail 60 min – Ban 3 days)
Powergaming includes:
• Describing an action as though it has already succeeded, without giving the other player a chance to react — for example, announcing that you have taken their weapon or tied their hands.
• Actions your character could not realistically perform, such as carrying another player while sprinting, or producing equipment your character does not have on them.
• Using game mechanics to escape or control a situation in a way that could not happen in reality, such as climbing to an unreachable spot to avoid capture.
• Refusing to accept a realistic outcome, such as continuing to fight after being clearly subdued.
Powergaming is not:
• Acting on something your character genuinely knows. If a player robbed your stash and your character knows it was them — because you saw it, found evidence, or were told in character — retaliating against them, including with a drive-by, is a roleplay reason and is not powergaming.
• Surprising, outplaying or defeating another player in a conflict that is justified and realistic.
• An outcome the other player simply does not like. Losing a situation does not make it powergaming.
The knowledge must be in character. If you only know who wronged you through out-of-character means — a stream, Discord, or a friend telling you outside the game — acting on it is metagaming (3.2). Be prepared to show how your character found out (1.2 and 1.3).
3.4 Fail RP. Behaviour that is unrealistic for your character or the situation — ignoring serious injuries, disregarding a weapon pointed at you, or acting without regard for consequences — is prohibited. (Jail 30–60 min)
3.5 Value of life. Your character must value their life. When threatened with credible force, you are expected to respond as a real person would, which will usually mean complying. (Jail 30–60 min)
3.6 New Life Rule. A character who is killed and respawns does not remember the events leading to their death, and must not return to that situation or seek retaliation for it. (Jail 60 min)
3.7 Staying in character. Remain in character while in the city. Out-of-character disputes are resolved through the report process, not in game. (Warning – Jail 30 min)
3.8 Sexual roleplay. Sexual roleplay of any kind is prohibited. This includes sexual acts, explicit descriptions and sexual advances pursued in character, whether or not the other player agrees to it. Any sexual content or conduct involving a minor, in or out of character, results in a permanent ban on the first offence and will be reported to the relevant authorities. (Ban 7 days – Permanent ban; permanent ban and a report to the authorities where a minor is involved)
3.9 Other prohibited themes. Suicide, self-harm and sexual assault are not permitted as roleplay themes. (Jail 60 min – Ban 3 days)
