Guidelines

The Game Master’s rules

Break them, and you’ll answer to the Game Master. In their own words:

  • Be naughty,
    not nasty

    Deceit 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 fair

    Do 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 rules

    I 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.
