Code of Conduct
All employees of the Ozymandias Pandimensional Mining Corporation are expected to remain professional and well-behaved at all times. The following guidelines are not comprehensive, and may be modified, extended, or reinterpreted as needed by Corporate administrators.

Be respectful of your fellow players. Or, less diplomatically, don't be an asshole. We don't expect you to bend over backwards to try and make everybody happy, and we know that everyone has off days, but if you're consistently unreasonable, a jerk to those around you, or otherwise foster a toxic environment around yourself, you're not particularly welcome in this game.

Don't cause trouble. If you have a disagreement with another player, we expect that you will both behave like mature adults and talk it out. If the two of you simply cannot get along at all, we expect that you will, like mature adults, simply keep out of each other's way. Your personal disagreements should remain just that: personal, not something the entire game needs to hear about.

Don't hog the plot. This game is objectives-based and has unrestricted power levels, and as such the risk of one high-powered character dominating the game is very real. However, that would quickly become extremely boring for all the other players! For that reason, if a character has been central to the plot's resolution for two consecutive sections of the planet, the mod team reserves the right to request that the player sideline that character for the upcoming area.

Think of it as being like Superman in a Justice League cartoon. Sure, Superman can solve just about any problem they encounter, but that wouldn't be very interesting, so the writers find ways to get Superman out of the way so the other characters can have their time to shine.

Remain in character, to the greatest extent possible. Living and working on board the Platform is a very different scenario than most characters will encounter in their own universes, so some drift from their canon behavior is expected. However, their behavior should be rooted in their canon personality and motivations, as listed in their application's Personality section, whenever possible.

Having your character do something means accepting the in-character consequences of their actions. We will try to be reasonable about this, but if your character is consistently behaving in a disruptive manner and then ducking the consequences of that behavior, we have a problem. At the same time...

In-character actions are in-character. Don't get mad at the player for them. Just because a character said or did something abhorrent, doesn't mean the player is a bad person too. At the same time, the way your character treats another character should not be a reflection of your relationship with that character's player. IC =/= OOC. Blurring these lines is firmly discouraged.

Cut and warn for sensitive material. This includes any smutty scenes, severe violence, or anything else that a large portion of the population may not want to see. Make sure nobody gets any nasty surprises while reading through the game's communities. And speaking of sensitive materials...

Engage with serious topics thoughtfully and carefully. Sexual assault, racism, and other such issues are (understandably) emotional flashpoints for many people, and using them cavalierly or for shock value can be quite hurtful. While we do not intend to ban anything outright, we do ask that you make sure before you engage with these difficult topics that you have put a great deal of thought into them, and you are prepared to deal with the in-game consequences.

Note: Posts, plots, and IC comments based on real-world current events are almost always a bad idea, no matter how well-intentioned. We therefore ask that you not do this.

Underage players are welcome, but their smut is not. Players under the age of eighteen are barred from posting explicit sexual materials to any official game channel. Yes, even if you're seventeen years and eleven months old. This isn't a smut game, so hopefully this rule will prove entirely unnecessary.

The modteam reserves the right to bar any player from applying to the game, or eject any current player, at any time, for any reason. We solemnly swear that we will use this power only for good. None of us like banning anybody, it's one of the most unpleasant things you sometimes have to do as a mod. We will exhaust every alternative resolution to any issues and provide plenty of warning before giving them the boot.

Likewise, we will only preemptively ban players for proven histories of committing serious offenses, backed by compelling evidence. We don't expect to need to take that step very often, but, for example: Stormy, if you're reading this, you can fuck right off.
