BE RESPECTFUL. Don’t be a dick to your fellow players. This includes treating serious topics respectfully, and tagging anything that might be particularly upsetting in your subject lines.
DON’T METAGAME. Keep IC and OOC separate, and don’t fourth wall anyone without explicit permission from the player in question.
BE ACTIVE. This is only a mock week, but it’s more fun for everyone if you actually post. (But also if you can’t, don’t sweat it, this is only a mock week. We can only ask that you try.)
LOOSE LIPS SINK boats. Got a role like victim, culprit, or mastermind? Keep that shit on lockdown until it’s time to do the in-character reveal. It’s more fun that way. Remember, people screaming for your blood over Plurk and Discord is how RPers say “I love you.” We also ask that any speculation on the trial and investigation be kept to private discussions until after endgame, to help preserve IC discussion and debate.
COMMUNICATE. If you’re having any kind of issue, contact the mods. We’ll do our best to keep abreast of what’s going on IC and OOC, but there’s only one of us, we can’t do anything if we’re not aware of the issue.
HAVE FUN AND BE YOURSELF! It’s the first step to any good murder.
