IMAGINE LIFE's Roleplay Rules apply to every player (administration, guests, residents, tourists, temporary members, etc.) across every city and wherever else they apply. These rules are nonnegotiable. The rules are as follows:
SIM RATING: The Downtown, Chicago land rating is Moderate, however, future areas will contain adult themes. While children and teens under 18 are allowed on Moderate sims only, they must also be supervised at all times and should absolutely not be in adult-only areas. Sexual activity (consented) should happen in concealed spaces and/or in private messages. If caught, you may be taken into custody by the police, be fined, and even given jail time.
ALLOWED CHARACTERS: Although you can create endless storylines -- supernatural beings, furries, Bloodlines characters (werewolves, vampires, etc.), talking animals, cartoon avatars, or any other mystical or odd creature that is not human is not allowed unless there is an event calling for it.
NO METAGAMING: Any information you find out OOC (Out Of Character) must stay outside your character’s knowledge. You cannot use that information to your advantage nor to force scenes out of people.
NO POWER-GAMING: Please expect to find scenes that don’t always work in your favor. Avoiding losing or attempting to force things into your favor is power gaming and will get you removed. Killing other people’s characters without their consent is prohibited and can / will be reversed if seen fit by admin.
MUST SEE A SCENE THROUGH: When someone initiates a roleplay scene with you, you must complete the scene even if the odds are not in your favor. If you are getting robbed, you must see it through. Some of your actions may cost you your character’s life if you are not careful so please be realistic about it. EXCEPTION: If the scene is inappropriate or triggering, you may contact an administration. You also may contact an admin if someone is attempting to kill your character without consent.
HANDLING FAIL RP: In the event that you are interacting with someone who is not great at roleplaying, it is imperative / important that you continue to see the scene through. Do NOT stop the scene to report the player or call them out. It could be a learning experience for the other player, but it also keeps the roleplay fun. If someone is harassing you or purposely destroying the scene, report it.
KEEP OOC DRAMA OOC: There is no tolerance for drama that’s outside of roleplay. If you have an issue with someone that cannot be dismissed or ignored, you should not interact with that person at all. You should also not take things happening IN character personally and creating animosities because of it.
NO FREE ROAMING / UNGUIDED TOURISM: This is a STRICT roleplay community; all interactions should be in character. Whenever you are around the sim, you should be prepared to interact with others and complete scenes. Tourists are to be accompanied by an authorized individual such as a realtor or tour guide.
RESPECT SAFE ZONES: Government buildings and any other location considered a safe zone is a strict no violence zone! Fighting or shooting in a safe zone will get you arrested and tried in court.
ATTIRE: All avatars should be dressed appropriately in public settings. If you are caught in a public setting dressed inappropriately (thong/panties/no shirt for females), you may be taken into custody by the police, fined, and even given jail time for Indecent Exposure.
NO TRESPASSING: Tourists, and even other residents, should never be on others’ private property or closed businesses’ unauthorized for any reason.
