Hello everyone, this announcement is to provide a reminder of a couple of our rules that I am copying and pasting from the rules page itself:
NO GODMODDING OR POWERPLAYING
No godmodding (which is controlling other characters than your own).
No powerplaying (which is when your character is all knowing/powerful or might know things that you read in a post that your character would have no reason to know).
TREAT ALL CHARACTERS AND PLOTS WITH RESPECT
Do not treat others' characters like stock or static characters only there to suit your plot. Everyone has their own character and plots that they want, not just you. Do not pressure people into changing their character to suit your own plot or thread either. If they say that their character wouldn't do that, do not pressure them into it.
Please also remember that we are all adults on this site. Some writers have full time jobs, school, health issues, or even children. Not everyone is able to post in every mass thread that's happening - there are always a lot of mass threads going on. But that doesn't mean their characters aren't involved at all.
This also means you shouldn't assume/godmod the actions of non-present characters. Doing this without the permission of the character's writer would be considered godmodding. So just reach out and ask them if it's okay first. There are lots of ways you can - plotting board, PMing, and Discord.
