CHAT RULES/GUIDELINES
These mostly apply to out-of-character stuff. Feel free to go craycray in-character. Except not totally craycray. Don't be like that one kid who threatened to blow everyone up.
1. Be polite to each other. Someone's character might act like a complete asshole, but there's a real person behind that muse! Don't take things super personally, but if you have a concern, talk to the person about backing off.
2. No fighting! This stems from the first rule, but basically, keep your personal drama out of both IC and OOC chats, unless it's something you need mediated.
3) No NSFW! Considering the nature of this RP, violence (/talk of violence) is to be expected, but keep your sexytiems out of it. I feel like I shouldn’t have to make this rule, but YOU NEVER KNOW. Also, keep language to a PG-13 level, preferably.
4) Keep OOC to a minimum in the main chat. Short comments here and there are fine, but the Skype chat has been created for a reason! If you decide to speak out-of-character in the chat, please designate it with brackets or parentheses, like [[ ]] or (( )).
5) Spoilers. If you happen to know spoilers about who possesses a certain role, such as Mastermind or Culprit, please keep it to yourself. Don't spoil the mystery for everyone else! Especially this early on.
6) Have fun! Don't take this roleplay TOO seriously. Feel free to crack jokes, be silly, be overdramatic, abuse capslock and keysmashes, etc. Sure, be serious when it's time to be serious, but outside of that, just have fun! In the end, it's all about having a good time and making memories with friends, right? Heck, my favorite chat-based RP memory is the time my male character gave birth to an egg named Steven and we had a Maury-style custody battle to try to figure out who was the father. The egg eventually became sentient, renamed itself Vladimir, and demanded its independence. In the end, the egg ended up being used in a stew and my character accidentally ate his own child. Seriously, be prepared for anything!
FUN FACT: Both Charat and Chatzy run in BBcode, the same script/coding style that theOtaku uses. So, if you ever wanna spice up what you’re writing with some italics, etc, use the same codes!
