*hums*
Just a couple things the mods have been talking over lately that we need to pass on to you guys:
1. IC Chat is not considered game canon unless all parties involved are okay with it. It's fine to bring chat events into canon; please post a log somewhere if you do, so interested parties can follow what's going on.
2. We felt it best to deal with this before it becomes a problem. Modchu loves controversy, but certain plot topics are more sensitive than others. We'd like them run past a mod first, just to make sure that everyone's not overloading the comm with them (like when we had over 9000 killings at once) and the player plans to handle them maturely. ♥
"Sensitive topics" here include rape; pregnancy and especially means of ending it (e.g. abortion, miscarriage); death; suicide. (If we missed something important, please tell us here.)
If you already have one of the above going, uh, just remind us real quick here.
2-a, as Norry graciously reminded me: As we mods monitor, we reserve the right to end a plot that oversteps sensitive boundaries; especially if there is no mod approval or player consensus.
I don't see that happening because you guys are awesomesauce, but you never know, so it's best you know we can do that. ♥
3. In addition, please talk to the other mun first and warn the rest of us somewhere if your character's going to be using explicit racist language (and possibly severe religion bashing.) Just to be on the safe side, you know? So everyone's on the same page.
(I know I'm not always good at explaining, so I'm going to quote Janella on this one: "Like, if characters get involved in a...I dunno, let's say a plot based on killing off all the faeries on the comm, or whatever. The main plotter probably won't need to talk to the muns with every log/thread involved, because they're all plotting it together.
But if a character who hates faeries replies to Kaye, the mun will need to contact her OOC if the character in question is gonna get really foul.")
I should be sleeping. XD
