Terms of Use

Here are the rules every member of Antarok agrees to for facilitating play.

Terms of Use
Sources	As of March 1st, 2024, Antarok has been in a state of Playtesting. By "playtesting" here, you agree that you are testing our game mechanics, and that you understand any adjustment to the game in response to your actions is expected. All changes may be discussed or critiqued, and we will not penalize authors for construing powerful characters or game strategies. Upon full release, no item, experience, or currency obtained will be lost.
Penalties	Rules often lack clear penalties. We work with all parties to determine appropriate penalties for engaging in rule-breaking behavior. Penalties may be offered in the form of re-writes, warnings, suspensions, or bans.
Discord	All members must participate in Discord. Leaving for any reason is fine, but we will not engage with you on any investigative process until your return, and you will be labelled "inactive" - disallowed to post on the site. Blocking an administrator (Haruspex OR Vicissitude) may be answered with a ban, pending an appeal mailed to thewhithering@gmail.com.
Toxicity	Abusive statements or harassment directed towards our members will not be tolerated, and is sometimes grounds for a suspension or ban pending an appeal. Tactics of social manipulation e.g. "Stonewalling" an investigation while using "Triangulation" - courting others and speaking through them - to get what you want are not allowed. If someone does not wish to play with you, or a Regional Storyteller does not want you to play in their region, then you must respect that.
Allegations	Any claim is alleged until tested and proven. All involved parties will be spoken with, and evidence shall be collected before making a determination.
Game Rules
Player Characters	Up to five (5) Player Character "PC" accounts may be maintained by one "person." Each "person" may only have one (1) Dungeoneer or Storyteller Account, and one (1) Discord account in our server without prior authorized approval. You will be asked to retire any accounts in excess of this rule.
Character Sheets	Also known as a "CS," a Character Sheet must be maintained by each Player Account. This is a written record of a character's identity, history, skills, experience, and relationships within the game world.
Copyrited / Illegal Material	Do not post copyrighted or illegal material to Antarok or its Discord. Ensure any written material belongs to you, and do not plagiarize. Self-plagiarizing material you wrote that is edited to fit the universe of Antarok is acceptable for development articles with prior authorized approval, provided you retain ownership of that material.
Aesthetics	Please avoid using "anime" imagery or cartoons as images or profile pictures. Stylized artwork in a toony style is acceptable. On Antarok, we use "Post Templates" which allow users to stylize their posts. We ask that these templates do not cause written material to be more difficult to read. Offensive imagery such as nudity or fetish material is not allowed under any circumstance, on Antarok or its Discord outside of designated channels. 18+ content e.g. "smut" or gratuitous gore should go to a private board referred to as the Adult Forum.
Generative AI
AI Writing	All written content on Antarok must be written by a human person and may not be AI-assisted in any way; do not use an AI thesaurus. If we suspect you are writing generative AI, we will request more information about your writing habits, and/or that you endeavor to improve your content by working to break free from writing in a summary-like and/or repetitious way indicative of AI.
AI Images	AI-assisted text may be used for the production of imagery; this is discouraged, but allowed provided the images do not "look" AI-generated. If the image has obvious markers the common person would see as AI e.g. hallucinated anatomy then we will ask that you take it down should we hear a complaint.
