Mod Announcement
Hi guys, your mod team here!
After some discussion and thought about the IC nature of some of the characters currently present in Ruby City, we have made the decision to begin allowing character death on a permanent basis. We have realised that not permitting the deaths of characters may be hampering some players in how they play ICly, as some of the residents in the city would happily commit murder without a second thought and/or for their own reasons (and some characters are careless or foolhardy enough to get themselves killed by various means). However, this will not be a free-for-all, and there will be consequences for both the victim(s) and the perpetrator.
Consequences for killing another character are the temporary or permanent (depending on player's discretion, or number of victims) loss of a memory or treasured item. There may also be the IC consequence of being imprisoned, ostracised or hunted down by other characters in the game, also depending upon player's discretion (and that of the CR of the victim/s). Please be realistic with your consequences, and most importantly, please make sure that all parties are in full agreement!
Consequences for the victim is a non-negotiable down-time of one week from the date of death (during which time backtagging is still permitted), and expected IC consequences. Unless moved from their place of death, characters who die will revive in the morgue of Ruby City's clinic.
There will be a minimum time limit of two months imposed between character deaths, and the one week down-time period cannot be used as a substitute for hiatus (please do not kill your character off just because you're going on holiday!).
You can submit your requests using the form on this page, where the above rules are also stated, preferably at least a couple of days ahead of time! If the death is something which happened as the result of a rapidly escalating situation in a thread, we can of course make allowances.
Requesting deaths will not apply to the weekend Easter event. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
