Venue Rules
Note: This venue has no opening schedule, keep an eye out in party finder or for an opening ping in roleplaying Discords
1. Please be polite to staff and other players. Remember that there are people behind the screen. If someone is making you even slightly uncomfortable OOC, please contact a member of staff (Currently the venue owner, IGN: Victor Cadieux)2. This is a SFW venue. Keep conversations PG-13 during opening hours. This is a place where children frequent in-character. Please behave appropriately. (Foul language is fine so long as it isn't overtly sexual, the owner swears like a sailor)
Outside of opening hours, talk about whatever you like, but please be respectful of other players in the space at all times3. IC actions have IC consequences. Starting a fight? Getting hostile? Prepare to get kicked out. This is a soup kitchen, not a bar, and the guy who runs the kitchen doesn't mess around when it comes to the people he's taking care of.4. OOC actions have OOC consequences. If you continue to behave inappropriately after being warned, you will be barred. If you behave super inappropriately, you will be barred without warning. If you come here just to troll or run around being disruptive, you're getting barred too.5. Bigots and bigoted behaviour and language will not be tolerated. Racism, LGBT-phobia-- I don't need to make a list because you know who you are. You're not welcome here, you never will be. This also goes for lalafell lewd-ers.6. You're not going to be banned for having an outright lore-breaking character, but keep in mind that it can be difficult to RP around and immersion-breaking for a lot of people.
Warriors of light and characters from The First are welcome, lore bending is fine, NPC roleplayers can also feel free to stop by.7. There is no syncshell, there will never be a syncshell. If you are using mods that other people can see, please keep them SFW and appropriate. If I see a screenshot of you doing something you shouldn't, roleplayer meet door.8. Have fun! The rules are easy to follow. Make use of the amenities as you like, lamp if you want to, AFK in the corner for all I care. I truly hope you can enjoy your time here, relax and make some meaningful connections.
