The Rules

Revised February 10, 2016

By the ops and users of the #suburbansenshi channels

[08:03] * C'est_la_V notes idly this channel is now EXACTLY like IRC.
[08:04] <C'est_la_V> What with the backbiting, the personal attacks, the yelling and screaming and punishing...
[08:05] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> So it's like Zed's basement from Pulp Fiction.
[08:05] <C'est_la_V> Hai...
[08:05] <Shinji Ikari> Without the gimp and anal rape?
[08:05] <Furu> ....What IRC channels do YOU guys hang out in?

Chatbox Rules

	I Chill the F out	We're all just here to goof off. Chatting and roleplaying isn't a job, and shouldn't be treated as one.
	II Prohibited Actions	No Rape. This is not a hardcore roleplay. Bill Cosby's bullshit is not allowed here. Rape is a serious thing and has no place here. It is forbidden. Even if it's consensual between characters. If it has to be in your backstory it's in your backstory but it will not be played out in box or even referred to as happening BTS (e.g. no " * Bill Cosby is away: Taking her back to her room for the ride of her life".) No Hardcore realistic Drug Dealing - Cheech-and-Chong style light humour about toking up or cracks about snorting blow off the backs of hookers Archer style are fine; drugging kids to watch them get addicted and die is not. Playing cops who are BUSTING drug dealers and maybe talking about the horrors they've seen is okay, but bear in mind we are in a light environment, this isn't a D.A.R.E. Special. No Godmoding - Godmoding means performing an action against another character not your own and assuming the outcxome without giving that character a chance to defend, e.g. "* Mr. Jackass breaks Paisley's arm." Give the character a chance to avoid the harm by phrasing things as "tries to" or "attempts to." For instance, "* Mr. Jackass tries to break Paisley's arm" at least gives her a chance to worm out of it or otherwise say no. Godmoding moves are reserved for admins or OPs ACTING IN THEIR CAPACITY as OPs to maintain order / protect other characters / protect the setting from unreasonable destruction (i.e. not destruction that is the consequence of a sanctioned event) If you are godmoded by another character and object to it, you have the right to "no sell" the action, i.e. to ignore it and just do what you were doing, and brush it off as you see fit.
	II Step Off	If you don't start none, there won't be none. Be good to your fellow players and they'll be good to you. Be an asshole, expect to get reamed.
	III Heal not hurt Aww, Fuck it.	Coach those with problems, not punish or harass. Except for the case of hackers / vandals or trolls there will be no banning or "punishing". We will do our best to coach people with issues to be better, and we all have to try and be more tolerant of each other. LOL that didn't last long. So. In the case of metagaming, godmoding, or general stupidity against the box (where it's clear you're just being a troublesome git), you will be /warned by an OP. Three warnings and we will remove one of your characters from play. For keeps or until we feel you've earned it back, our choice. If you run out of characters due to not bloody well learning your lesson, you will be OOC only and forbidden from RPing. That is all. Currently Lego3400 has one strike for godmoding. Should there be two more, Sailor Negerra will be taken off the field.

"People on internet forums always seem to be labouring under the misconception that there are rules for them to find loopholes in. There aren't. If you annoy the people who run the forum, they deal with you, and your cries of "noooo, oppression!" are like music to their ears. Funky music, on a porn soundtrack, with women panting "yes, yes!" in the background."
