Server Rules

1. The Golden Rule – Treat others as you expect to be treated. If you have a sardonic sense of humor and spend your time in #ooc teasing others, be able to take it in return. Being intentionally hurtful or cruel to other players will not be tolerated.
2. Cheating - Don’t do it. This mainly deals with metagaming – the use of information you have as a player that your character does not have. We log everything, and will catch on to you. Players who engage in using powers or abilities that are not on their sheet, metagame or roll inappropriate amounts of dice per their sheet will find themselves on the wrong side of a ban. Also considered cheating is ‘seeing’ things your character cannot – acting differently in the presence of obfuscated individuals your character cannot see, turning on Auspex 1 for no good reason, or hearing people whisper across a busy club. Refer to the website for clarification.
3. Idling - Carpe Noctem is a roleplaying server, and while we encourage you to connect even if it’s just to hang out and talk in the out of character channel, we would appreciate if you did not remain connected when you are not available at your keyboard for extended periods of time. Please do not remain connected overnight, while you are at work, or otherwise indisposed for more than fifteen or so minutes at a time.
4. Other Games – We understand that the vast majority of roleplayers on the net play in more than one game, and we encourage you to play in as many games as it takes to make you happy. However; we require that you do not discuss other games on our server, and request that while you are on other servers that you do not discuss our game. We will never tolerate the badmouthing of another game, or the taunting of another game’s staff. It creates drama that none of us want to deal with, please keep your peanut butter and chocolate separate.
5. The Staff – provides the services of this game for free, and do not get compensated in any fashion for their work. Please respect the wishes of the staff, and understand that we are here trying to create the best possible environment for you to roleplay in. We reserve the right to deny services to any player at any time for any reason. Please note that the game staff is here 100% for the players, to create the environment and to answer any rules or setting questions you may have at any time that we are connected.
6. The Highlander Clause – In any given scene run by a storyteller, there can only be -one- final say on any given call. If you have a disagreement with a call made by a storyteller, voice it after the scene is completed, please do not slow the scene down by stopping it to argue with a call made by a storyteller.
7. No bots – Any bot other than our own that connects will be banned by the IP the bot connected from. No questions, no exceptions.
