These efforts are most likely successful when they include subreddit posts, OOC interaction with other community members, the ability to compromise as well as unique creativity in RP.This article details Administration Log, a file which records key gameplay events such as chat, player hits and deaths. When the community or team feels like a group displaying derogatory themes is not showing a visible and successful effort to outline genuine OOC intentions and purpose, the DUG team will intervene to either help support efforts of genuine OOC intentions and purpose or will censor and punish intentions that are unfit for the community such as specific harassment or complete disregard of others. While we hardly restrict IC RP, it will not be an excuse to hide OOC intentions that are unfit for our community behind RP. With this policy we are not restricting IC actions, however IC and OOC actions will be judged by their OOC intentions and purpose. IC actions come from a constructed and artificial persona. OOC thoughts and actions come from the person and his or her genuine intentions. To fully understand this policy, you must first understand the difference between IC (In-Character) and OOC (Out-of-Character). Players showing derogatory RP themes have to make their genuine OOC intentions and purposes clear to the rest of the community and the DUG staff. While we don't want to restrict IC Roleplay, this rule will not be an excuse to hide OOC intentions that are unfit for our community behind roleplay.Īll interactions must have the community at heart.ĭUG is a mature community and our members have explored various dark or morbid RP themes as part of their stories, such as the Cult of Papa.

When communicating with other players in an OOC (Out-of-Character) situation, keep that communication civil and polite.
If you ever question the reasoning, feel free to reach out the the other party or open a ticket if you are unaware of who it is. Make sure every player can have as much chance to have fun as you have had. Keep it reasonable and think of everyone's enjoyment of the game, not just your own. If that's you or your group's whole roleplay or thing you do without provocation, that's cool. Keep your reasons realistic and your actions proportional, so instead of tearing a whole base down because the owners robbed you, try to rob them back, raid them to get loot back, or negotiate something with them. We define a Significant Action as a raid, an attack on a base, an attack on an event, or other actions of a similar nature. Ensure that whenever you take a significant action against a group or individual there is some IC (In-Character) reasoning behind it. Once you do so the ban will be lifted automatically.Īll interactions must have the community at heart.
