Terms of Use

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

Here are the terms by which every member of Antarok agrees to in order to facilitate play. Failure to abide may result in penalties, or possibly a removal from the site.

Playtest: 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) will be answered with a ban from the site and the Discord, 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 is not allowed.

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.

Rules

Player Accounts: 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.

Copyright & Legality: Please do not post copyrighted material. 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 content such as nudity or fetish material is not allowed under any circumstance, on Antarok or its Discord.

Generative AI

GenAI 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. This is not meant to be a personal attack against your writing, it's a method for weeding out and discouraging AI-generated writing.

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.

Wiki Placeholders: On the Wiki, any AI-generated image must be disclosed as such; it is referred to as a Placeholder. We invite members of our community to donate concepts towards replacing these.
