Out of Character Rules
Please note that these are the Out of Character Rules, and failure to observe them result in disciplinary action from the DM. The actions will be stated by a number, accompanied by the disciplinary actions associated with it in bold font. Also, any complaints that are made must be backed by a log of the transgression. Falsified Logs will result in your immediate dismissal from the game. These rules are subject to change, be advised accordingly.
1. Do Not Cross-Roleplay. If your character suddenly learns something that they otherwise wouldn’t know, I consider it cross-Roleplay. Even if you don’t like someone, if your character has no reason to hate someone else’s character other than your own petty OOC grudge.
a. First Offense: Written Warning from the DM.
b. Second Offense: 7 Days Suspension from the Game AND no STORY-LINE pay, experience, Deras for the next mini or main event.
c. Third Offense: 14 Days Suspension from the Game AND no STORY-LINE pay, experience, Deras for the next 3 mini or main events.
d. Final Offense: Permanent Ban/Black List.
2. No God-Moding. Your character is not the end all to be all. They will be subject to the same rules as everyone else, and trying to break those rules will only screw you over.
a. First Offense: Written Warning from the DM.
b. Second Offense: 3 Days Suspension from the Game AND no STORY-LINE pay, experience, Deras for the next mini or main event.
c. Third Offense: 7 Days Suspension from the Game AND no STORY-LINE pay, experience, Deras for the next 3 mini or main events.
d. Final Offense: Permanent Ban/Black List.
3. While KoM is a mature rated game and certain scenes will include intense language and strong scenes of graphic gore, there is absolutely NO SEX allowed in the Public Rooms. This cannot be stressed enough.
a. First Offense: Written Warning from the DM.
b. Second Offense: 5 Days Suspension from the Game.
c. Third Offense: 10 Days Suspension from the Game AND no STORY-LINE pay, experience, Deras for the next mini or main storyline.
d. Final Offense: Permanent Ban/Black List.
4. Respect your fellow members. Regardless of whether or not you like one particular person or several, we are an adult group. You can ignore one another or not. But there will be respect for your fellow gamers.
a. First Offense: Written Warning from the DM.
b. Second Offense: 5 Days Suspension from the Game AND no STORY-LINE pay, experience, and Deras for the next mini or main event.
c. Third Offense: Permanent Ban/Black List.
5. Keep the OOC to an absolute minimum while there is Role-Play going on in a room. There’s nothing more infuriating than a good RP Scene being ruined by someone throwing arbitrary comments out of character.
a. First Offense: Written Warning from the DM.
b. Second Offense: 7 Days Suspension from the Game AND no STORY-LINE pay, experience, Deras for the next mini or main event.
c. Third Offense: 14 Days Suspension from the Game AND no STORY-LINE pay, experience, Deras for the next 3 mini or main events.
d. Final Offense: Permanent Ban/Black List.
6. If you are not active for 2 weeks without notification, you will be removed from the roster. This is not personal. With the constant amount of activity and different schedules of everyone, it’s understandable that you may not be able to be here all the time. All that is asked is an email sent to the DM with the intention of a Leave of Absence (LoA) notice so you are not removed from the roster.
a. Only Offense: Lack of notification within 4 weeks of inactivity results in immediate removal from the roster, following the end of the fourth week.
7. Do Not Falsify Logs. If your character is attempting some kind of task that calls for a DC and a log is required and neither the DM, nor a DA is present to observe the task, it is assumed that the player is being completely honest. However, there are consequences if this is found out to be contrary to the fact.
a. First Offense: Written Warning, and Automatic Failure of the Attempted Task.
b. Second Offense: 7 Days Suspension from the Game AND no STORY-LINE pay, experience, Deras for the next mini or main event.
c. Third Offense: Permanent Ban/Black List.
9. Taking Material from KoM and using it to start your own game is strictly forbidden. The individuals who have done their best to create things for this game based on their own creativity have put in a large amount of work for a game, and as such it’s incredibly disrespectful for someone to do so. There is a zero tolerance for this.
a. Only Offense: Permanent Ban from the Game.
