Important Info

I have set this game as "Mature" and that is how I expect the game to stay. To clarify that just consider what is shown in an R-Rated movie like a Bond Film or even Deadpool.

As per rPol Terms of Use:
quote:
Mature games are games which have (as some minor portion of them) mature themes, strong language, drug use, and/or extensive violence.  Mature games use the Mature Content flag to warn potential readers that some of the game material may be considered offensive.  Despite this flag, Mature Games must remain suitable to all ages.


Language
Traditional swearing is allowed. Drop swear words to your heart's content. Racial slurs, homophobic language and other "hate speech" however is strictly forbidden. Just because you're a bad guy doesn't mean you have to be a dick. Nobody who is accepted here is going to play a character that needs to be racist or homophobic or sexist. Besides there are plenty of other ways to insult someone without crossing real world lines.

Romance & Sex

While I encourage romance and some sense of sexuality in play as part of characterizations note that this is always handled in a mature and respectful way. Nothing will be described beyond passionate kissing and anything more intense will be handled "off screen." If you are involved in a "sex scene" then it will fade to black and skip ahead to the aftermath. Again think about how it works in an R-rated movie. Maybe you get to see a bit of butt or boobs but nothing pornographic.

Violence
I am expecting this game to get violent by its nature but I personally have limits. No excessive torture or gore descriptions. By all means be a bad guy but I don't want to read the next SAW screenplay. Like sex this stuff can be handled "off screen" if necessary.

Children
There is going to be almost no explicit violence against children specifically. This is supposed to be a fun 4-color supervillain game. By all means look menacing or yell at them so they run away and in scenes with widespread catastrophe it may be implied that children were hurt or worse but it will always be "off screen". Burning down an orphanage is a classic villain move but there won't be any descriptions of children running around burning to death.

The Bad Stuff
As per rPoL Terms of Use:

quote:
Games are not allowed to exist -- at all -- which graphically describe:

    non-consensual sex, sexual assault, or rape;
    the taking of life for sexual arousal;
    incest;
    bestiality;
    necrophilia;
    sexual acts involving children under the age of 18, or
    the sexual exploitation of minors.



If you violate that I will boot you from the game and report you to the admins, no questions asked. Instead if you're unsure about something remember Rule #1: PM me! Let me know where you're going with it and I can help make sure you're not crossing any lines.
