These guidelines are for the general well-being and enjoyment of play of all role players at Jacmus Prime.
Guidelines regarding OOC banter
Keep OOC banter to the OOC room. Staying in character is vital to the roleplaying experience. This should go without saying.?Loitering out of character is potentially poisonous for any game.
Play challenging but believable characters
No character is immortal, nor are they invincible. Every character can die.
Play a character that you are comfortable with, but challenges you daily.
Create a character that fits with the world of Jacmus Prime and its limitations.
Avoid crossing characters
In other words: what one of your character’s learn, can not be shared with other characters you may play.
The best advice to make roleplay more challenging, is to restrain yourself.
Interact with other players and their characters
- Share stories and knowledge, explore the world together.
- Use your private message boxes to talk about the roleplay.
General guidelines for participation in combat
Be combat aware.
If your character is attacked, you must respond. You can not choose to ignore the attack OOCly otherwise your character may end up dead.
By responding to an attack with the same style you may be?indicating your acceptance of that style.?Pause the roleplay. Discuss the style and if in you can not agree, use the default style.

Choice
Players have the right to choose who they roleplay with and whether they accept that person’s roleplaying.
