RULES
Please be nice or you'll make Chuck drink.

Our community conduct rules are, boiled down to their base form, simple. Observe common sense, and treat others with basic decency and respect, and you will be welcomed with open arms.Due to themes present in our community (roleplaying of mature themes such as murder and violence, as pirates and their ilk are wont to do), we request that players present be 18 years of age or older.


A less condensed version of our rules, our code of conduct, and what we seek from our community is the following.We expect those who enter our community to treat others, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, sexuality, etc. with dignity, respect and kindness. Our community is filled with people from all walks of life, and our staff team has LGBT BIPOC on it. We will not tolerate racism, pedophilia, bigotry or other subjects.We have zero tolerance for harassment of any kind. If you are known for engaging in harassing behaviors - bullying, stalking, anything that falls under common sense definition of "harassing" - harassment campaigns, bullying and general undesirable behaviors, you will not be welcomed in this community. We will not hesitate to ban individuals who act in ways that threaten the good nature and camaraderie of our community, and we will not hesitate to remove harmful individuals' ability to access our community members.We follow a general three strike rule for non-threatening misbehaviors, and we do not rescind bans. While we believe that individuals can learn and grow past their toxic behaviors, they can do so away from our community.
