Rules
Overview
While this list of rules is not all-comprehensive or exhaustive, we ask that players please adhere to them to the best of their abilities!
Yet, we would like it to be known that these are not static. New rules may need to be added, old rules may need to be adjusted, and so on.

This simulation is invitation-only.
This space is for friends of the moderators and friends of those friends. This is to ensure the enjoyment of the moderators and players alike. While we won't be checking invitations as of endgame, we still want to keep it limited to friends of friends!
However, the moderators reserve the right to disallow people from joining the game at their discretion.

Keep the peace. That's why we're here!
We're all here to have fun and smash our fictional Barbies together while making kissy noises. OOC harassment and bullying will not be tolerated and will result in a ban.
Any unacceptable behavior that makes other players feel unsafe can result in immediate removal from this space.

Communication is key.
Role-play is a collaborative hobby. As such, players are encouraged to discuss any issues that may arise between themselves. Moderators will no longer be intervening or mediating as of endgame between players.
Additionally, we ask that players utilize all means of OOC communication. Not everyone uses plurk or Discord and so we encourage plotting for both game and player plots to be on the OOC community (![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)

Do not powergame.
No matter how strong your character is in canon, there are limitations to their abilities here in Amani. Again, this is a collaborative hobby and while having the coolest most badass character around may be fun for you, there are other people to consider.
Additionally, we do not allow info-modding (giving your character OOC knowledge they would have no way of knowing) or god-modding (taking control of another player's character).

IC Actions = IC Consequences
If you play an absolute dickweed, don't be surprised when people don't like them. You also can't take it personally! The actions your character takes in-game will have effects on how other characters perceive them. Therefore, IC feelings a character has for yours =/= OOC feelings the player has towards you. Draw that line in the sand right now!
However, we also ask that the players of the absolute dillhole characters consider what might be an appropriate 'stopping point' for antagonistic interactions. Keep it reasonable and, more importantly, try to keep it fun for others interacting with them! Disagreements happen, characters will fight, and so on. Players should be communicating during this though to ensure that there are no hurt feelings or miscommunications that lead to further issues.

Warn for content where appropriate.
Look, we ain't about to judge for whatever you want to write. All we ask is that you warn for content accordingly. Do not spring things on other players unexpectedly or link someone to a thread that contains sensitive topics without it being clearly labeled.
If you aren't sure what counts as needing a warning, here's a handy dandy list.

Know your limits.
For the small things, go absolutely buck wild. Your character found a broken-down motorcycle and is fixing it? That's awesome. Good for them.
Your character wants to try and destroy the entire setting? Hold on a moment! For things that might affect the game and characters at large, please keep in mind reasonable limits of what is fun.
