Characters are the "Roles" in "Role Play". This news file covers Multiverse Crisis MUSH's character policies, including alts, alt interaction, idle policy, etc.
- All players may have up to 6 characters at a time. A 7th and 8th slot may be requested, but approval is on a per-application basis (that is, you must ask every time you drop your 7th or 8th character and want a new one) and does not persist between 7th/8th alts.
- Characters from MU*'s we've absorbed don't count towards character limits.
- Players may keep secret alts. This is a privilege that may be revoked based on how it is used, staff will ALWAYS know who secret alts are, and special circumstances may require they be revealed.
- A player's alts may interact in limited doses only. This shouldn't give either alt an undue or unfair advantage, OR cause players who aren't using multiple alts in a scene to lose RP to somebody who is. Don't RP with yourself, and don't use alts for self-promotion.
- One player may not play two, closely-related characters. For example, you cannot play both Dr. Wily and Megaman, or Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.
- Our Idle Policy is case-by-case. Depending on your character type (FC, OFC, OC, etc.) you will be expected to have a minimum number of logged scenes. For characters who are expected to adhere to a minimum level of activity (FCs & some OFCs) this will be around one scene a month. OCs generally won't idle out, but may have their approval revoked and require updates to re-enter play. While the old idle nuke is no longer being run formally, it will still be used to determine who is chronically idle. FCs and OFCs will still be periodically @nuked or reverted to Guest accounts.
- Character Audits/Character Reviews may occur. Sometimes we approve something that proves to be a mistake, sometimes somebody we thought could be trusted couldn't. Whatever the case is, occasionally we'll take somebody aside and go over their character from top to bottom. Often this involves staff rewriting their visible fields (+finger, +adv, etc.) and power level. This is usually a response to some kind of abuse, but sometimes simply occurs when a character has been around a while and has developed some bloat issues.
- In extreme cases, MUSHwide character reviews may occur. When we switched to +Advantages, everyone was required to reformat their character sheets and add +disadvantages/flaws. Similar would occur in the event of other basic systems of the MUSH being overhauled.
Want to report a CharSquatter?: It's pretty easy to tell if somebody's done something recently. You can +scene/old <name> to see a list of time stamped logs.
