Role-play Rules
Do not refer to real life situations.
This includes exchanging out of game personal information about yourself. You can use party or guild chat for this as well as private messages Using abbreviations of any sort is strictly prohibited.
Roleplaying
The use of "faces" falls under this rule as it is an abbreviation of emotions. Whenever a race or trait of any kind is being role-played, the facts of the role-play must never be broken
If a player chooses to play the role of a murderous villain who lives his life to slaughter everyone he meets, it would not make sense for him to be helping any other person. Likewise, if someone was to play the role of a holy man who lives for the good of the people, this person cannot kill for any reason.
These situations and definitions of ones background purely depend on the story they are to follow. Clearing up any uncertainties in ones story can prevent misunderstandings and common issues that may occur. If a holy man wants to kill, it should be included in his story that he wishes to purge the world of evil.
If a guild is role-playing, the guild master will be held accountable for the actions of their members. This rule only applies if the guild master does not require their guild members to write their own background story. If a guild master fails to keep their guild members from breaking character, the entire guild is subject to lose all rewards.
