Gameplay
The following standards are expecting when emoting or using other RP
commands on Haven.
*) You should not include any OOC information or communication inside an
emote. SRs are excempt from this standard if they find they need OOC emotes
to set up/run their scenes.
*) You should not post fixed or corrected emotes, if you need to fix an
error and cannot do so ICly you should do it with a small follow up
clarifying statement. Do not repeat the whole emote again.
*) You should not use color to an extent that is irritating or obnoxious.
You should not color all your emotes. You should not overwrite people's
color say preferences with colored speech in your emotes.
*) You should not include any 'meta commentary' in your emotes remarking on
events as if you were a narrator talking about the scene. This is
especially true of passive aggressive commentary such as. "Bob ignores
@person and their stupid shoes."
*) You should not write the result of an action which may be contested
unless the result has been determined by some coded feature of the game such
as a compete or combat.
*) You should not use emotes to control NPCs in any way that aids your
character or their agenda unless they are professional NPCs simply doing
their job, such as bodyguards or shopkeepers. Or are NPCs reasonably
under your authority behaving sensibly, such as a secretary fetching
coffee or a child obeying their parents.
*) You may not delierately damage the immersion or reality of ongoing
roleplay with your emotes. Such as by deliberately focusing attention on
any coded aspect of the game unequal to the task of representing a reality
or on interpretations of coded events that are notably less sensible than
other interpretations.
You can use report (person) if you feel they are violating these standards,
staff also may report people if they see violations of the emote standards.
Violations may cause you to lose RPxp and/or Karma.
