Roleplay+Protection

=Roleplay Protection:=

In Armeya RPG, the most important rule is that people remember that this is **JUST A GAME.**

Let me say that one more time - **JUST. A. GAME.**

As such, Armeya RPG offers the following "Roleplay Protections" to players and their characters when participating in Armeya RPG:

1 - Any player who feels that they are being targeted for abuse or harassment may request the assistance of an Admin/GM. The Admin/GM is within their rights to put something resembling a "restraining order" on interaction with a player who has requested for another player to not interact with them.

2 - A player may, at any time during roleplay, if they are uncomfortable, request a **"Take 5"**. During a "Take 5", that character is considered "frozen" and/or not part of the current scene. This allows the player to step away and decide if they are comfortable with continuing the roleplay scene at-hand. If the player wishes, they may withdraw their character from the channel at the end of a "Take 5". A "Take 5" may be used in roleplay, on an Adventure, or during a Campaign. If a character withdraws from an Adventure or Campaign, no XP will be granted to that character from that adventure/campaign.

3 - **Player Consent** is required for any of the following events to befall their character at the hands of another character (unless on an Adventure or part of a Campaign) - Death, Rape, Kidnapping, Sex, Torture, Attacks on the character's NPC family members, Theft of any non-monetary, non-PHB items, or the use of any mind-altering magic spells or alchemical substances to coerce a character into acts that character's player is not comfortable with. If a player consents to any of the above, they don't have to do anything - just keep roleplaying. If a player does **not** consent, they must say so in the channel in which the roleplay is occurring so that Armeya staff can see it and assist if needed. That being said, your friendly neighborhood Mars| would like to ask that we keep things civil and more family-friendly. We can't entirely confirm someone's age since it's so easy to lie on the internet, and so there may be minors amongst us.

4 - Characters with an evil alignment, or characters who perform evil acts and are seen by other characters performing them, are exempt from the above protection. Sorry, but if you go out of your way to screw other people over, they have every right to do the same back to you.

5 - Characters who initiate an attack (verbally, socially, physically, or magically, etc) on a character of higher level than themselves are considered to be "giving consent" to be exempt from the above protection.


 * If a fight breaks out, please contact a PM or GM to oversee the event. Thank you.**
