Hiya!

Lovejoy said to direct general OOC questions here, so I'll post this here as I didn't immediately see it - what are the general content guidelines for this game? 

In brief - if this game were a movie, what would its rating be? What level of violence are people comfortable with? What level of realism is expected towards things like injury or gore? Do sexual issues come up? Do any real-world political or social issues come up? Is drug use shown? Are there any particularly emotionally-weighty or personal topics that need to be avoided, like any player having an issue with abuse or addiction or mental illness or anything like that? I don't mean general rules of conduct for us personally, but content guidelines for IC posts specifically.

Do understand, I ask [i]solely[/i] as I think it better to have a clear policy. I do [i]think[/i] I have a general notion of the answer from a mixture of common sense and what I've read of the IC posts so far. But, since the game's been going on for a long time now, us newcomers might conceivably blunder into an expected but unwritten rule or perhaps be ignorant of something written a long time ago buried under a lot of OOC posts. And of course people from different backgrounds may have very different assumptions as to what is or isn't normal.

Or to put it another way, it's better to ask than to find out the hard way.
