Role-Play Conflict Resolution (Rules)

Players are expected to respect role-play limits and agree to dice rules or staff moderation when requested to resolve role-play conflict. A general series of guidelines are available.

General Statements

There is no reason for staff to get involved in the resolution of RP conflict between players UNLESS one or more of the parties ASKS for a moderator.

Exception

If the role-play between players seeks to change or establish any shard lore, then the authors of the lore or a staff member, not involved in the discussion, must be included into the negotiation. Please note that significant changes to a kingdom culture is unlikely to be approved -- kingdom culture impacts thousands of NPCs, not just players.

Obligation

• Players are obligated to respect RP limits. It is each players responsibility to have their RP limits set. However, if you see a player with out limits, please remind them to set them, especially if you plot line involves any type of rape, torture, or mutilation.
• Players are obligated to negotiate dice roles to resolve conflict. Players are not obligted to agree to mutually acceptable outcome. It is perfectly acceptable for players to want completely seperate outcomes for RP conflict -- in fact that's what puts the conflict into it. However, they ARE obligated to agree upon dice rolls to determine who wins in an encounter.
• Players are obligated to accept moderation if called for. If a moderator is requested, by any member of the conflict, then all discussion and role-play should stop immediately and a moderator should be waited on.
