Guidelines
The Game Master’s rules
Break them, and you’ll answer to the Game Master. In their own words:
Be naughty,
not nastyDeceit is a game where the intelligent rise to the top. Lying, framing and obfuscation are manipulation tactics I can respect. Griefing, trolling and teaming are not. Use your brain. It’s such a shame to see four billion years of evolution go to waste.
Play well,
play fairDo not insult my intelligence with your slimy tricks. When I see you using cheats, modifying game files or abusing known bugs, I simply assume it’s a pathetic attempt to atone for your utter lack of self-esteem. Get a grip. And don’t ruin the games of others.
My kingdom,
my rulesI am a deranged psychopath who hosts a ritualistic murder game for the amusement of Elder Beings — and even I have zero tolerance for racial slurs or threats of harm. So what does that say about you? No discriminatory behaviour, language, writing or nicknames. You’ve been warned.
