Consent & Common Sense
Roleplayer's Agreement & Conflict Consequences Agreement:
Roleplaying conflict on a server can be overwhelming and even potentially character ending. It is important to remember before stepping into the realm of RP conflict or Consent Only Conflict you review the rules and understand by taking part in these actions you are agreeing to any In-Character Consequences that may come as a result of these actions.
Also as a tip from a roleplayer if you commit a crime in-character do not talk about it OOCly or ICly if you wish to avoid in-character consequences. While we wish to stop all meta-gaming it is not always possible to catch or find. But if you are intentionally going out and telling people what you have done to create the excuse that they meta-gamed you will be the one in trouble.
It should be common knowledge that roleplay is for storytelling. If you take that away from people by revealing everything interesting that happens OOCly you kill the drive to want to roleplay and find out the answers or the truth. Roleplayers are mini-DMs in a way because you create a story that needs to be uncovered over time and you don't want to lose the joy of watching people try and figure out the truth.
There should be an agreement among all roleplayers that information that happens In-character should not be disclosed via non-IC means.
Requirements & Rules
Must have consent of all participants of the conflict. Once consent is given those members are now considered killable by another consenting member. If someone does not consent go down to the non-consenting rules.
Bystanders can get involved via the Roleplay Conflict options. If they consent they are no longer a bystander and can use consent only conflict.
All combat can result in IC consequences. Be aware before starting a conflict.
Child Characters can only be kidnapped. They can not be killed or maimed. Only exception is DM ran events for storytelling purposes.
Roleplay Allowed Conflict

Definitions:
Conflicts are never going to be one and done. Some roleplay will pull from multiple different types of conflict to be fully completed. You may end up kidnapping someone but to kidnap them you need to assault them first and then restrain them to make sure you can move them to the new location. What is important to remember is that roleplay is STORYTELLING ;and if you are out to tell a story, roleplay conflict should be enough. But if the roleplay needs to be elevated; Consent Only Conflict will need to be followed and agreed to by all parties involved.
Conflict does not always have to be negative, there may be ways to utilize roleplay conflict for a positive outcome and not a negative one. Such as restraining your friend before they go and beat up a drunkard.
Kidnapping: Removing a person from a place against their will and relocating them to another location.
Imprisonment: Preventing a person from leaving a place of their own free will.
Propaganda: information, esp of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular point of view.
Bullying: Verbal insults and comments against another character with the intent to cause emotional, or physical, pain without permanent injuries.
Assault: A physical attack against another person with or without a weapon/magic and without the intent to kill (non-lethal) but may result in minor non-permanent injuries. [Usually leads to Unconsciousness or Restrained]
Mental Reconditioning [Magical or Non-magical]: to change a persons autonomous thoughts and emotions and replace them. This option is not torture related. This option could be used in a positive way or a negative way.
Grappling: Restraining someone with your own physical body.
Restraints: Restraining someone with an object magical or otherwise.
Property Damage [Non-Major]: Causing damage to a property that does not result in the loss of 90% of the structure. This could be minor damage such as breaking windows & doors or throwing eggs at someone's house. This requires a sign to be left outside of the property limits for the homeowner to read or a message left in their mailbox (sign preferred).
Theft: Stealing objects that are not yours. Theft from NPCs (via DM events is allowed without consent).
Property Damage [Major]: The player owned structure can be damaged up to 50%. I suggest communicating with the person before doing this and come to an agreement oocly for the RP story.
Maiming [Non-character ruining]: Maiming falls under cosmetic injuries that your character isn't dependent on to do events.
Permanent Character Harm [Character Ruining]: Losing something important to the character's functionality. Such as: Hands for an archer or leg for a tabaxi.
Death: While death is an option the roleplay leading up to this death needs to be more solid than just a bar fight. There should be purpose behind wanting to kill another player. Even if consenting. A bar brawl turned a fight for honor is acceptable. Or attempting to save someone's life, etc. Death is treated as a normal Character Death.
ERP/Sexual RP: Any interaction or conflict that you perform should not have any type of sexual actions.
Creature Abuse: You can not knowingly inflict suffering on any companion creatures not engaged in combat.
Pedophilia: Act of preying on children to groom or sexualize them.
Child Murder: Don't murder children.
Drugs Usage: Using recreational drugs to harm someone else or yourself.
Bystander Actions
As a bystander you are not 100% involved in the conflict (consented or not) but you are an active participant of the roleplay happening around the conflict. Even if you denied consent or involvement there are actions you can take as a bystander to affect the conflict and effect the results. Such as:
Use roleplay conflict options to deter the participants.
Example: if Player A & Player B have consented to the conflict and Player C (you) wants to prevent the conflict you can use Assault (Unconscious), Grapple or Restraints to stop the players from fighting. In turn player A & B have the right to use roleplay conflict options against you as well. Which could result in Player C (you) being restrained, grappled, or knocked unconscious via Assault.
Join the conflict as a consenting member (note you are then accepting all Consent based conflict)
Contact a nearby guard (NPC) or guard (PC)
You could attempt to talk it out and resolve the conflict peacefully. Just know this may end up with you having some action taken against you as well dpeends how the roleplay goes.
Note: Abusing the bystander actions to assist your friend in a fight would not be allowed. Bystander actions are for STOPPING a conflict not assisting in one.
Player vs Player Non-Consensual Roleplay
Below are guidelines for roleplay interactions between two non-consenting players. If both players agree to an outcome [ie: Duel to the Death] then that is allowed and considered consenting roleplay. But if one player disagrees below are guidelines for your situation and must be followed. [ie: One player refuses maiming. Meaning you can only do Roleplay Approved Conflict] or gather the evidence/interactions you need to bypass the consent requirement.
This method is serious and can result in a character's death once activated via the Moderators. Attempt to resolve conflicts before reaching this point ICly.
How to get started
Non-Consented Conflict requires 3 incidents & GM approval to allow. Conflicts are taken into account from Roleplay Conflict options. If something is not listed in the roleplay conflict list and you think it should be added please contact a GM.
Players must screenshot the conflict incident and tell the other player OOCly at the end of a conflict that it will be noted as a Conflict against them and make a comment ICly that they will "remember this" (or something rp appropriate) If needed you may DM them OOCly but be professional and send them the screenshot of what the conflict was for their own records.
Conflicts are determined by duration of time between each incident and if the Roleplay breaks or not read example two & three.
Conflict Examples
Example One:
If you throw an egg at someone and they throw an egg back at you in the same RP moment its 1 conflict.
Example Two:
If you throw an egg at someone and then they shrug it off and leave but 5 hours later they break the windows on your house that's considered 2 separate conflicts.
Example Three:
Instead if you throw an egg then they threaten to break your windows and walk off and you follow them to the house to watch them break the windows its 1 conflict.
Example Four:
If you mail someone rotten eggs and later they decide to retaliate by throwing eggs at your house. That will count as 2 conflicts.
