  • OOC Communication

    Using anything other than in-game VoIP to communicate with each other e.g. you cannot be in a discord call with another person that is also in the city. (this rule is not limited to discord calls, basically, any form of ooc communication between players whilst in the server is prohibited)

  • Powergaming

    Forceful roleplay that does not give another player a chance to roleplay their own response is considered powergaming.

    Using things or doing actions that don’t actually exist in-game to gain an advantage e.g. /me holds knife against your throat when you don’t have a knife in your hands or inventory.
