Official Roleplay Rules
Last Updated: 30 September 2015





Users are required to stay updated with the rules, as they are subject to change based on situations and certain guidelines within the roleplay.
No exceptions.




Arguing with Administrators & Moderators
If the staff of the roleplay have made a decision that you don’t agree with, you have the right to have a mature discussion about it. But there is a difference between having a discussion and a blatant argument. Do not argue with a staff member due to the actions they have done or words they have said.



Bullying
Bullying includes, but is not limited to:
-Homophobic remarks [saying "faggot", "dyke"]
-Transphobic remarks [saying "tranny" or "shemale"]
-Sexist remarks [such as "women/men have no rights", arguments over feminism/meninism]
-General name-calling ["bitch", "slut", "whore", "cunt"]
-Insulting over appearance [height, weight, etc]
-Insulting over personality [traits within your personality]
-Insulting over culture [such as how they dress, act, etc]
-Insulting over religion [claiming ridiculous stereotypes, etc]
-Insulting over choice of diet [veganism and vegetarianism]

Bullying is not tolerated within this roleplay. This roleplay shall remain a safe environment for all using it. Those who have been caught bullying other members will be dealt with accordingly, from the severity of their actions and words. If you are a victim of bullying within this roleplay, please take screenshots of the comments towards you, and upload them to picture sharing websites such as Imgur, Printscreen, or LightShot. Provide link(s) to any Moderator or Administrator. Please attempt to take as many screenshots as possible. More evidence is better.



Dressing Properly
Please try to dress your character properly for this roleplay. Keep things realistic with their appearance as well. You're obviously not going to wear neon pink pants and an orange crop top during a zombie outbreak. Wearing heels for shoes is a really bad idea. If you have long hair, try to keep it back in a ponytail, a hairband, or stuff it up into a hat. Unneeded head accessories aren't useful, either. A lot of users use the backpack item to show they are carrying items with them.



Excessive OOC (Out of Character) Arguing & Fighting
Try not to excessively argue or fight within the roleplay. It annoys users and staff within the roleplay, and it often leads to bullying and harassment. If you are caught doing it multiple times, you will be dealt with accordingly. Don't try to purposely argue with people for your own entertainment.



Godmodding
"Godmodding" is in essence when someone’s character has the ability to do practically anything without limits or boundaries. And example is when they simply cannot be harmed by any and all means other roleplayers try. This is not allowed within the roleplay, and can possibly get you banned.
-It can be when they simply can’t be hit and dodge all attacks or anything for this matter aimed at them.
-It can also be using other characters that other people RP with. In other words, if you do not RP as (person), then you cannot have (person) say anything, or do anything, without the player's express permission.



Habboon Way
Members of this roleplay are expected to follow all the rules and guidelines within the Habboon Way. You are also responsible for keeping yourself updated on when the staff of Habboon change rules or add more. For a full copy of the Habboon Way, please visit their forums.



Metagaming
Metagaming is an OOC (Out of Character) action where a player's character makes use of knowledge that the player is aware of but that the character is not meant to be aware of. This is not allowed within the roleplay and if caught doing it, your actions may become voided and ignored.



Properly Roleplaying
Members of this roleplay are expected to follow these rules and roleplay properly. If you do not follow these rules, your actions and words are considered voided automatically.
For basic actions, you are required to use 6+ words per line.
To injure another person, you are required to use at least 7 lines of text.
To kill another person, you are required to use at least 9 lines of text.

If your action involves doing something to another person, then you must specify who you are doing the action to. For example:
*Bruce would then reveal his shotgun, pointing it to the head of Janis*

It is recommended that you use either the hyphen [-] or the asterisk [*] to notify your action lines. For example:
*Clarissa would throw the brick at the head of the zombie*
or...
-Clarissa would throw the brick at the head of the zombie-



Roleplaying Sexual Acts
While this is okay to do within the roleplay, please follow these guidelines.

All people within the act must have given full verbal consent OOC'ly.

The acts need to be kept in a private room or over whisper.

If you are roleplaying a rape/sexual assault scene, the victim party still needs to consent verbally OOC'ly. If the victim does not consent, the entire scene is voided. No exceptions. It may be a rape scene, but rape can be triggering and very uncomfortable to some users.



Spamming
DO NOT spam other members within this roleplay, as it is annoying and it is also against the Habboon Way.



Spawning Random Weapons or Cash
As free will is insinuated within this client, there are ways people can make up their own weapons and make up random amounts of money they are carrying with them. But doing this within the roleplay is against the rules, and requires proof. Taking screenshots every time you properly buy a weapon or earn money from another person will get you proof to make sure you are doing things properly, not just making things up to help you. Guns can only be obtained by being bought from an authorized weapons dealer, given freely as an act of kindness, or properly stolen from another person. Money can only be obtained by it being freely given to you as an act of kindness, by selling your own items, or stealing it from another person.



Talking OOC (Out of Character)
While we request that you keep OOC talking to a minimum, please use the brackets ([ ]) for your OOC lines. For example:
[Yes, why would you think that?]
or...
Yes, why would you think that? []

Do not talk OOC in action brackets. It's misleading and annoying to users. Repeatedly talking OOC in action brackets will get you punished accordingly.



***NOTE: Staff reserve the right to administer punishments based on each case and/or person. Punishments may be more or less severe as a result. This serves only as an outline.***
