Consent
Consent is one of the major tenets of Elder Tale Online MUSH. Consent play requires some give and take from each player in RP, and to streamline this, we do offer a combat system for conflict resolution. However, certain extreme actions can result in a waiver of consent for a scene or action - which admin or GMs are to warn the player of.
Such situations are things like: Not running away from extremely dangerous monsters, pissing off a Kingdom’s leader in his own home, wading solo into a military camp, etc.
Due to how death functions on this game, this rarely will result in the permanent loss of a character. And if a non-standard result would come off such a direction, GMs and Staff are once again expected to warn the player of this. However, there is a certain amount of long-term consent that is waived upon the loss of all of a character's Memories. If you have concerns with your character approaching this point, reach out to staff.
Behavior
We expect players to act like adults. Be excellent to each other. If something bothers someone, and they raise it as such, try to halt such behavior within reason. Admin will be available for mediation where needed, but we prefer not to get involved if we don’t have to. We favor players resolving their own differences, but we understand that a neutral party is needed at times.
In general, the RP can be considered R rated, for violent content, and some swearing. Otherwise, PG-13. OOC Public channels are expected to be generally kept PG-13 and empty of swearing and troll-like behavior.
You typical taboo topics such as Politics and Religion should also generally be kept off of both our public channels, and our Discord. There are other avenues for them, and we are not one of those.
IC Adult behavior should be kept out of the logs and out of public areas. We don’t care what you do in private, as long as the private things remain in private, and do not have ramifications in public. This is not the focus of this game, and we don't want to have to start policing this.
Job Time
Admins are expected to keep to the turnaround time on jobs, or at least keep a player appraised within the turnaround time of the status and why something may take longer. There will be a focus given on things like Character Applications and Player-Run-Plot Requests. Requests for Staff-Run-Plot requests should be assumed to be at a premium, due to the time required from said staffers; as such, responses may be slower, or a guide may be given on running it as a player.
Codex Information
Codex Information is considered IC knowledge, and players are highly recommended to promote Codex information. However, it should be noted that if you feel you should have a codex entry, and don’t, you should reach out to staff about such a thing; try not to act on codex information you don’t have, that someone else might.
But we understand that you don’t know what you don’t know. And not everything needs or is a codex entry.
As such, assume that ‘secret information’, ‘sensitive information’ or declaring matters about the metaplot as ‘fact’ are the main item where one should consider: do I have a good reason to know this?
