| As a player, you have a right to choose which games / scenes / plots
/ conversations you will be in, and which you will not. You have a right
to decide whether or not your character will die. The other players have
these same rights, too, and you may not abridge them in any way. Plots
to kill or physically harm another character must be approved by the intended
victim's player, regardless of the status of either party. Plots to overthrow
an office holder must be submitted to the victim's PA (Players' Association),
or in the case of non-clan offices, submitted to the Camarilla's CoST (Circle
of Storytellers) for approval. Either of the above mentioned plotlines
that are not approved by the designated parties before being initiated
will be ignored. No character may be forced into any game. If you have
gotten involved in a game in which you feel you are being unfairly treated,
you may ask your PA to intercede. If you feel a PA is treating you unfairly,
then you have the right to ask the Camarilla CoST to intercede. |

| If you take an action in a game, you will be considered a part of that
game, and your actions will get the appropriate response, for good or ill,
regardless of your desire to be in the game or lack thereof. If you take
an action that would get a response that you don't like, you cannot ignore
it. Consensual RP cannot be used to circumvent Accountability at any time,
in any way. Accountability is the only thing that can circumvent the rules
of Consensual RP. A player can, at any time, dispute the use of Accountability
with either their PA or the Camarilla CoST and allow them final say in
the matter. |
| I N T E R A C T I O N |
Overthrow and assassination plots involving ANY character are permitted,
but are also restricted. An overthrow plot or the removal of a character
from an office must be decided by the PA of that clan, or in the case of
a non-clan office, the Primogen Council. The killing of a character, regardless
of station, is the domain of that character's player. The only way this
right may be abridged is if the character in question has taken actions
that would warrant his death, such as blowing up the Elysium, breaches
of Masquerade, or breaking certain Traditions. As per the rules of Consensual
RP, a player does not have to be a part of any game. However, if that character
interacts in that game, he is automatically a part of it, and will be held
Accountable for his actions.
 Player interaction
is to be courteous and fair at all times, in accordance with Consensual
RP and Accountability. No character may take an action against another
without the permission of that character unless it meets with the rules
of Accountability. |

Over time, there have been certain conventions and abbreviations that
have come to become accepted as the norm in the White Wolf Chats. Variations
do appear at times, but the most common are listed here for your convenience:
OOC – Out of Character
IC – In Character
RP – Role Playing
AFK – Away From Keyboard
BRB – Be right back
Text enclosed by
((double parenthesis)) denotes out of character actions or thoughts.
Text enclosed by
asterixes denotes character actions. For example: *He walks over to the
stranger* Hello, my name is Bob.
DD – Description
Drop. Generally a pre-prepared paragraph (or so) describing the character.
Text enclosed by
tilde marks (~) is assumed to be in another language or mode of communication
other than straight English speech. ~German~ at the beginning of a phrase
would indicate that the character is speaking German, ~Japanese~ would
indicate Japanese, and so forth.
PM – Private Messages.
Generally this is reserved for whispered communications between characters,
or OOC communication between players. If other individuals in the room
can see or hear the action, then please do not communicate it via PM's. |
