Hollow Dreams has a few house rules, to keep the game running smoothly. These are as follows:
* No one under the age of 16 is allowed to access any content of the site, including setting information, chat, forums, newspaper and radio, because of the mature content of Hollow Dreams.
* All characters have to be aged at least 18 years old to be sanctioned for play.
* Abuse of any nature towards storytellers and players will not be tolerated and the offender will be warned and then banned on subsequent transgressions. Severe cases of abuse will result in immediate site ban and deletion of all characters and accounts.
* XP farming will not be tolerated here.
* A Storytellers decision is final. No arguments.
* Players are limited to two characters per venue.
* If you have a complaint please screenshot anything you feel is relevant and/or let an Admin know the time, date and room so we can check the logs. Complaints without screenshots will be ignored.
* If you want to log into the chat to talk OOC feel free, Logging in as a character and an OOC Login is allowed. Logging in two characters in the same room is not allowed. Players with multiple characters may not let them interact with one another.
* No cybersex in public or private rooms please, others are trying to play the game too. If you really have to, use PMs (personal messages). Remember that STs can walk into any room made, and ALL messages are logged for security reasons. Private messages will only ever be looked at IF its a case of serious personal abuse and permission is granted by the abused to look at them.
* Any staff member who has logged in using a PC character is NOT to be bothered with questions about the venue that they run.
* Staff members may only be approached about questions when they are using their staff login or an NPC in their own venue.
* Any questions that arrive while a staff member is In Character are to be directed to the Forums.
* Staff members may NOT have PC's in their own venue as they should all be marked as NPC.
* If there is a scene where a PC gets killed ALL venue STs involved have to be present and will make any final judgements. If none, or not all STs are present that are needed then the scene will be frozen and you will have to contact the missing ST(s). The room logs WILL be looked through.
* We will put story before rules on some occasions. Remember, this is just a game. We will not, however, bend the rules to fit your character just because you think it would be cool.
