Above all else, S.P.L.U.R.T. Station is an EROTIC ROLEPLAY server and, as such, you are expected to act in a way that not only makes sense for your character, but also in a way that does not disrupt the roleplay of others in the process. The roleplay quality we aim for at S.P.L.U.R.T. is medium roleplay, therefore we expect you to be up to that standard in our server. Your characters and the way you play them should at all times reflect a quality of roleplay good enough for this server. You should avoid disrupting peoples’ experience and immersion through your decisions.

Play as a coherent, believable character. You're on a space station as  a hire. There's fluffy characters from all corners of the universe and beyond, some of which are twice as tall as you and walk around with nothing hiding their bits, people are eating deep fried clothes and sometimes there's a dozen Captains. Your character should fit within this game world.
'''Most cases can be solved through IC actions or through the use of L/OOC with the offending player if they are ruining your experience''', if communicating fails, contact staff.
==== 2.1 - Escalation ====
On this server '''you are allowed to roleplay in a vast range and most things are allowed so long as they do not prove to be a detriment, avoid ruining the experience for everyone else'''.
All fighting and use of mechanics should be proportional to the conflict itself, and make sense for your character and the situation they encounter. Not unlike how conflict would normally happen in the real world. Conflict and use of mechanics are natural and normal within a roleplay environment in SS13. However, you shouldn’t go overboard when fighting someone else, the admins will gauge for every situation if the use of mechanics was pertinent or not.
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
 
|''Examples and exceptions.''
In general, try and escalate only when, and as necessary for the situation at hand.

==== 2.2 - Fuck around and find out ====
'''Examples:'''
You are not exempt from the consequences of your actions on the server. Just like you would in real life, your decisions and actions ICly on the server can and will be met by ICly consequences from the rest of the players.
:1. '''Griefing the station without a valid reason'''.
 
::1.1. '''End of round grief (EORG) outside of the permitted area''' or too early.
Reactions from the playerbase to your character and your in-game actions can range from the use of escalation, to retaliation over several rounds. If admins deem that a situation your character is going through is due to the previous actions you performed as said character, they will let nature run its course.
:2. '''Creating server lag''' through the use of spawning mass mobs, items, liquid or gas.
Consider this when deciding your actions in-game and the type of character you want to play as!
:3. '''Bringing IC information into OOC chat''', it is not fair to other players and can ruin peoples time.

=== 3 - Consent ===
Violating another character's preferences, commiting erotic acts against a player or enforcing effects/consequences over said act without their consent, utterly violates this rule. Ensure that you’re aware of every person’s OOC preferences when it comes to sexual content before engaging in such content with them. You’re also entitled to voicing your preferences through LOOC during a scene, and the involved person is supposed to comply with them.
 
==== 3.1 - Non-con ====
If your non-con preferences are set to 'Yes', you waive your right to fight back against your would-be non-consensual roleplay partners, as long as they don’t violate the contents of your OOC notes or you speak up in LOOC against what they are doing to you.
 
All non-con actions are considered non-canon to the round when performed if perpetrated by non-antags. You are not to call for help over comms over being non-conned, unless all parties agree to the consequences of such actions, as doing so consistently results in a witch hunt against your roleplay partner. And the CONSEQUENCES and effect on the round of your ERP should only be decided upon AFTER your scene has been completed, and all parties should consent to them.
 
=== 4 - Standard ===
There are numerous, various standards that you are expected to follow, and failing to do so violates this rule. The round cannot succeed if those in charge are not held to responsibility, including both Heads of Staff and Regular crew. Therefore, fulfilling your job is important. Failing to follow these standards when playing these roles will likely result in a job ban.
 
=== 5 - Safety ===
You are expected to be an adult in this server and be over the age of 18, and you are expected to act as such. Any content that could be interpreted as violating the law and is harmful towards the server is not allowed to be discussed on the server.
 
Furthermore, this is an eighteen-plus server and, as such, you will be swiftly removed if you are found to be underage.
