Perma-death/Maiming (Rules)

In our experience, FORCING a player to take a perma-death (or to role-play with a character negating effect such as maiming) is tantamount to the player either rage quitting or being banned. Consequently, we are not going to put non-consensual perma-death into the rules. Instead, we will simple handle it as admins with the player directly. If a multi-session role-play devolves to such an extent that the only solution appears to be the perma-death of another character, please open a discord ticket and reach out BEFORE any death-scene role-play.

The approval of permanent-death or character maiming requires Admin intervention. It is our intention that the following conditions are present before such an approval is given.

1. The player was fully aware that the possible consequence of their action is death.
2. All other Gorean consequences have been explored.
3. Significant, multi-session role-play has happened.

Examples of Maiming

Loss of a limb, hamstringing, significant cosmetic disfigurement such as facial burn scars, loss of teeth. Branding is not considered maiming.

The process

• If you intend to kill a player you should open a ticket for moderation and let us know why. We will probably pull the other player into the discussion.
• If you don't do this, and it "just happened", we are not likely to approve a permanent-death, so do it before hand.
• Once we are sure all the conditions have been met we will approve the permanent-death.

Assassination

Some of the castes, such as the Assassin (Black) Caste require specialized rules to keep the RP fair and avoid the need for moderation. Please review this page. <Read More>
