SEXUAL BEHAVIOUR
Many of the players on Forgotten Kingdoms are under the age of 18 and considered minors in many countries around the world. In order to protect them, we have deemed that our game should be suitable for young, underage players.
This means that there is to be no OVERT sexual roleplay. We do not want any player made to feel uncomfortable and we want parents of minors to be confident in knowing that their child is safe.
At any time that sexual relationships are called for you are expected to 'fade to black.' This is an assumption that the act occurred without the necessity of roleplaying it out. This protects admin and players in the case that someone is under age.
Overt sexual roleplay includes such things as kissing in public in a sexual way. Anything that is considered unacceptable in the normal workplace can be considered unacceptable on Forgotten Kingdoms.
NOTE: We are not the morality police. However we do maintain the right to guide this game in the manner in which we would like to see it and at the same time protect our players and the quality of roleplay which goes on here. Your presence here is a privilege, not a right. Please keep this in mind as you roleplay.
Rape
Forgotten Kingdoms is a fantasy game geared for all ages play. Certain situations are deemed inappropriate for the age range present on the MUD. One of these situations is rape. Rape is a highly traumatic and damaging crime that has no place in this game. There will be no roleplayinging of a rape, real or imagined, on screen or off screen. Any such roleplay can result in severe punishment from the immortals, including but not limited to a strike or a siteban. The game adminstrators feel that such RP may be harmful to the players as well as being a gross and senseless trivilization of such a horrific crime.
Same Sex Relationships
The staff of Forgotten Kingdoms acknowledges that there are a wide variety of alternative lifestyles in the world and makes no judgement moral or otherwise on those lifestyles, but as Forgotten Kingdoms is a family oriented game, the staff has a certain obligation to protect the minors that play here and allow parents a reasonable certainty that their children are not exposed to any situation that might make them uncomfortable.
Due to these obligations the staff has deemed that same sex relationships are acceptable roleplay on Forgotten Kingdoms providing they are roleplayed within the constraints outlined in help sex. We ask that like any relationship in Forgotten Kingdoms that participants in a same sex relationship be discrete and present the relationship in a non overt manner.
If you have a gay character, we ask that you email applications@forgottenkingdoms.com with a full history of the character and planned roleplay. Please include a statement that you have read and fully understood the helps on our policies about sex.
