===Cheating===
Cheating on Buffymud is seen to be the unintended use or abuse of a
function of the mud to the unwarranted benefit of your character.
cheating whether done intentionally or not will incur a punishment such as
deletion of the character involved, or in repeated cases the sitebanning of
the cheater.
the show fairly conclusively made it so that vampires and other soulless
entities were purely evil and unredeemable.
Particularly the lack of a soul seems to cause a type of sociopathy,
in a line at the DMV, and generally consider the DMV to be a government
provided buffet anyway.
If you are going to play a soulless character you have a responsibility to
want a soul, you must ask permission, we believe this has only occurred once
in the past millennia or so, so it's very unlikely to actually happen ICly.
Evil characters are the most important for rp, but they're also often the
much harder than just playing someone of a different race, gender, or with
different speaking patterns, again I'd suggest if you're not up to the
challenge, you not attempt it.
Signs that you’re rping evil correctly are that you are generally hated,
a mob is forming to kill you, or you’re constantly under some sort of attack,
either verbal or physical.
likely not.
How can you know if your evil char is actually bad, well ask yourself this
but in that case you can just ask yourself, if they actually knew what I was
doing would they wanna kill/imprison me?
While I'm aware that most people come here to play the concepts they want
===In Character===
Buffymud is an enforced IC environment with a number of exceptions.
:
1
2) All interaction with immortals are OOC ▼
:
3) Aid, question, mtalk, newbie channels are OOC but are strictly for▼
:
the purposes of questioning and aiding other players, no other use of these
channels will be tolerated (Chatting, exchanging AIM details, etc).
:
4
includes exchaning IM details, emails, chat sites etc, if you've been
RPing with someone for a significant period of time you may apply to the
imms to be allowed to exchange IM details etc.
:
5
discussing RP plots, explaining your character, explaining your
character's actions, complimenting or insulting other people's
An enforced IC environment means that excluding the above exceptions all
interactions with other players and the BuffyMud world are to be In
Character, you must behave as your character would in this world.
will also incur a cheating penalty, meaning that if you multiplay to cheat
your characters, you'll incur a double penalty which will possibly lead to
your permanent removal from the mud.
The only exception to this rule, if you have an immortal granted rp char, you
coinhabiting the same body. Generally speaking this is illegal, for the reasons that it conveys
much of the same unfair advantages as playing alts together or authoring NPCs.
When it's ok:
*
If the possession is long term and complete, if someone is taken over by a demon or being and is
just that demon or being and not who they used to be, and will be that demon or being for the
'glimpse' of the other showing through or anything similar, you are entirely one or the other.
*When the posessing force is non sentient. If you are possessed by a spirit or force that might make you a little darker, or more animalistic or even lighter but has no real thoughts of it's own, this is fine.
*When the minds merge, similar to above in that there is only one resultant mind, even though it might have memories of both or be something differnet to either one it is just one mind.
*When it is the product of psychological forces, ie your character is legitimately and mundanely insane. They again aren't actually two people but just one with a psychological defect that presents as different personalities.
