'ROLEPLAY' Abandoned Realms is a roleplaying intensive MUD, and you are expected to cast off all trace of any unworldly personas and immerse yourself in its gameplay. Though we do not expect everyone to excel at this aspect, there are some basic requirements that everyone must follow. * names must satisfy the requirements in HELP NAME * players are attacking others and/or above 10 must have a valid DESCRIPTION Language restraints: * d00d-speek or modern languages are not allowed, this is a medieval setting * abbreviations or popular modern slang (e.g. WTB, AFK, or Wazza) is illegal * spell words out (e.g. write out "you" instead of "u" and "thanks" not "ty") * no profanity or vulgarity on people you don't know will care to hear it * no discriminatory language (racist, homophobic, sexist, etc) Knowledge restraints: Keep your characters separate! They must not know each other even exist, and knowledge accumulated on one character must not be shared with the other. This does not apply to areas, quests, if you know a quest then you know it - it applies to dynamic information. Behaviour restraints: * stay in-character at all times. The people that meet you in game should meet and know your character, not the player behind it. * use channels appropriately (e.g. auction is for buying/selling, not chatting) * uphold your ALIGNMENT/ETHOS where applicable (see help good/neutral/evil) * ICA = ICC (In-Character Actions have In-Character Consequences), don't misuse OOC commands/mechanisms to avoid ICC. e.g. SUICIDE, QUIT * don't flood the screen deliberately to annoy others See help on ROLEPLAY TIPS, INSANITY
