Rules
Rule #0: The Golden Rule: This server is MERP which stands for Medium Erotic Roleplay. The primary focus of this server is for a fun, sexual environment with some elements of danger. Do your best as Crew or Antagonist to contribute to fun, more than to ruin someone else's round. Rule #1: Do NOT transform or round-remove each other, or make the Station/Lavaland uninhabitable. This includes making death traps, planting Kudzu, and plasmaflooding. This is a non-negotiable rule. No one is valid unless they've TRULY earned it from Central Command. No executions unless approved by Central Command. No exceptions. Ahelp over this if you absolutely feel like you NEED to remove a player permanently, but otherwise, fucking DO NOT.
- -a: Do NOT take items from or interact with another crewmember that is SSD unless it is within reason (If you are alone with no radio in the prison, and an officer has fallen asleep, Captain/Head of Staff has gone SSD for over 20 minutes.). Only after a player has been Disconnected for 20 minutes can they be placed into Cryo and their important items retrieved (I.E. Hardsuit, NAD, etc.)
- -b: Starting needless, physical conflicts as a non-antagonist, and especially in the case of Full-On Shitcurity, is unacceptable. If you begin fighting with others or forcing chemicals on another player without a proper, in-character justification, it will be met with warnings and a possible ban. Syndicate Listening Post Operatives, Ashwalkers, and any Ghost Spawn Roles are NOT exempt from this rule.
Rule #2: Do not invade a locked dorm room or tamper with the door/walls through any means. If you absolutely need to break into a Dorm because a Head of Staff or Security are not doing their job on amber/red alert, ahelp it first. (Bombing dorms is an automatic ban, heehoo funni.)
Rule #3: If you come across someone ERPing somewhere that is NOT the dorms and semi-private, you may LOOC to join in. If they say no, DO NOT MAKE IT AWKWARD AND STAY AROUND. This rule goes off an honors system, as well. If someone requests you move from an openly public space to somewhere private, RESPECT them and do so. This is not a rule for you to be Anti-ERP, this is a rule for you to not engage with what you do not wish to see. #3-a: Public nudity is NOT a crime. Nudism is allowed.
Rule #4: In the Spirit of preserving Rule #1, all ERP revolving around Non-Con/Rape themes are to be kept at the OOC party's discretion, and are not meant to be taken as a canon interaction to the round itself. This means if you DO NOT consent to Non-Con/Rape OOC, report it to Security/Ahelp it immediately. If you DO consent to rape OOC, respectfully avoid an issue IC where the other party is put at risk for being executed. If you choose to roleplay Rape Scenarios, you accepted those risks, but both parties must still consent OOC otherwise. #4-a Forcing Rape on somebody through Emotes or Lewd Verbs without OOC consent is an automatic, bannable offense.
Rule #5: We do NOT allow Underage Content on this server. No characters under the age of 18 are allowed to be played, period. Don't even bring this subject up, it is not welcome in this server. If you are suspected of being underage, the S.P.L.U.R.T. staff may pull you aside for an age verification at any time. This verification can include a temporary ban from the server until proof of age is both given and verified. #5-a: We do NOT allow any Bestiality Content on this Server. DogBorgs, Xenomorphs, Funclaws and pAIs do not count. #5-b: We do NOT allow any Necrophilia Content on this Server. Don't fuck corpses. You should not have to be told.
Rule #6: Until it has been coded out: If you spawn as an Antagonist as a Command Role (Head of Personnel, Captain, Head of Security, Chief Medical Officer, Chief Engineer.) or as an Antagonist in Security (Rookie, Security Officer, Warden, Detective), you MUST Ahelp out of it. If you spawn as a Prisoner, you must report directly to Security and give yourself over for arrest. If you want to try causing a riot or breaking out, you MUST ahelp first.
Rule #7: End of Round Grief (EORG) is allowed ONLY on the Escape Shuttle and CC area, ONLY after the round has ended. Bombing the Escape Shuttle before it has docked is an immediately bannable offense. EORG is NOT allowed on the station itself, nor on the Escape Pods and their respective docking areas.
Rule #8: For anything not listed here, please defer to an ahelp before doing so. We are all generally friendly in ahelps and are wiling to work cooperatively with the players to create an enjoyable experience.
Rule #9: This server aims for a Semi-Literate environment, where Netspeak (Such as thx, lol, wtf, etc.) is not allowed. The obvious exception to this is in OOC/Dead Chat as well as in PDA messages. This server is primarily an English-speaking server, and your writing and speech must be legible enough to read. Speaking occasional phrases in different languages is acceptable.
Rule #10: Intellectual Dishonesty will not be tolerated. Don't be deceitful in tickets or in general.
