We have some additions and clarifications to our rules. The concept of ICA=ICC vs OOC Consent has been updated under Role-Play Etiquette as follows:
ICC = OCC
Similar to OOC Consent but not the same ... Previous shards have required OOC consent between two players for any storylines that involved death, torture/rape, kidnapping or anything else listed in a players OOC section of the .look as a personal limit. However, with this new conflict driven shard, this could be abused to avoid in character consequences for in character actions. And that is not okay. Players should be prepared to stand for the consequences of their actions. Staff are available to help players negotiate if extreme actions are warranted by the characters actions, but all players should understand that some in character actions have personal emotional triggers and stop immediately or fade to black if requested.
Metagaming
Further our metagaming page has been clarified with the following points:
Metagaming can not be circumvented by the use of backstories or "all knowing" deities.
It is considered bad manners to: [...] Use another character's application as the basis for your own character's application without their permission. Character applications are OOC information.
Personal Limits
Players are allowed to put personal limits in their .look under OOC information. We are a community of shared storytellers and our goal is to tell stories everyone will enjoy. To that mind we encourage everyone to be respectful of real life challenges that may present as hard personal limits in role-play. On the other hand, participating in the main shard storyline will be fraught with medieval-theme conflict and consequences, players need to be prepared for the fact extreme storylines can and will happen. Admin are available to negotiate solutions.

We hope this is clear, please contact an admin if you have any questions.
