━ You are in control of your character & their actions. Understand in character actions do have in character consequences you are responsible for your own fun.
✦ Keep in character (IC) & out of character (OOC) separate
━ The most common way to speak OOC is by placing your speech in (( )) double brackets. The staff will consider this out of character & will respond in kind, otherwise you'll be assumed to be IC.
━ People are not their characters. Character vs Character drama should never be met with OOC hostility.
✦ Minions are not allowed
━ Minions take up a slot that someone else could be using to be inside the venue. This can cause a problem because venue's have a max user amount. If you're asked to put the minion away, please respect our staff & do so. This is a food venue. ;)
━ If a minion is needed for an RP let a staff member know & we'll see if we can accommodate.
