ETIQUETTE GUIDELINES

While this is, after all, just a game, there are some rules of etiquette we play by in Arcadia. It seems that often times, the anonimity of the internet lets some people act in ways they might not in face-to-face discussions. Please read and follow these rules: 1. Out of Character prejudice is not tolerated. 2. Cursing is not an option in this game. Do as the comic strips do, and say 'By Crom's blood!' or 'Darn it!' or '$#*&@!' There is no need for vulgarity to make a point. 3. Keep it PG-13. I don't allow torrid or tawdry descriptions of sexual acts or depraved behavior. When in doubt err on the side of good taste. Do as Hitchcock did, and know when to 'draw the curtain'. 4. Don't post a zillion times in one hour...let others have a chance to get home at night and read the emails and reply without 120 posts greeting them in the face, none of which they could react to. You'll know from me when there are exceptions. 5. Do not argue with me. You may present your case for disagreements or rules decisions, but I have the final word. 6. Those who continue to argue will be removed from the mailing list and barred from the game. 7. People who argue with other players, cause divisions, rules lawyer without fail and otherwise reduce the enjoyment I have in running this game (and that of the other players) will be removed and barred from the game. 8. If you want to borrow material from this site, please ask me first and I will send you my permission if I agree.

WHAT IS BANNED?

Cursing and Profanity.

Explicit sexual scenes or descriptions of people that go beyond the call for narrative.

Needlessly gross or explicit acts of depravity. Some things really are gross, and have no other explanation (like the Ebola virus)

Players who refuse to act like heroes (even dark and grim ones) and act more like characters from Knights of the Dinner Table comic strip (ex. the guy who kills everything his PC runs into when he has a bad week at work).
