'''S.P.L.U.R.T.

This means avoiding characters and actions that may disrupt player's experience or immersion, and playing as a coherent and believable character.

Justifying in-character actions through proper roleplay is a our greyest area within the rules. If all players are '''satisfied''', '''consenting''', and the rules broken '''are conducive to roleplay and in-world lore, and do not needlessly impact other parties''', then many of these rules can be broken. This is '''not''' an excuse to needlessly break rules, as poor justification that does not have the explicit intent to foster a good roleplaying environment for other players will be punished.
