Rules

Rule 3 Precedents.

1. Excessively OOC names fall under rule 3. Make a minimum effort to have your name sound like something a sane parent would name their child. A firstname lastname minimum is required for humans and felinids; other species may instead choose to use the default names assigned to them, such as those given through random names, or otherwise any name that is species-appropriate. Honorifics and nicknames are allowed as long as only one additive is used at a time, i.e "James Williams Jr." or "James "One-Eye" Williams". Admins may get involved if your name is dumb and can approve or disallow names at their discretion while in-game.
   1. The following names are prohibited, no exceptions:
      1. Names of famous or notable people;
      2. Names that are intended to be bigoted or hateful, or contain hateful slurs (Names of this nature are also a violation of Rule 22);
      3. Names that contain references to internet memes or popular culture;
      4. Names that are clearly based on usernames.
      5. Examples: Joe Amogus, Ben Shapiro, Jerma Chungus, Kanye West, Tyrone McBasketball.
   2. Clowns, mimes, silicons, wizards, and nuke ops have significantly more leeway in choosing their names, but the prohibited names list still applies to them.
2. References to the current round, even if vague; is still considered being IC in OOC.
3. Due to their tendency to reveal a lot of information from the current round, streaming is not permitted on our servers, with the exception of special events pre-designated by admins.
4. Using netspeak terms like "ur", "wtf", "lmao" etc. IC is considered OOC in IC, as are emoticons like ":)".
5. References to current day culture (News events, popular media, internet memes, etc.) are considered OOC in IC.
