Rule 1; No Random Killing/Attacking (RK/RA)
Random Killing/Attack is attacking players randomly for no reason other than to ruin the game for them.
Any attack on a fellow player must have a valid RP reason behind it.
Remember that we're not psychic so you should at least make an indication that you intend to attack if the reason isn't already clear

Rule 2; No Hoarding Items
Yes, you're roleplaying a student trapped in a school with a killer. Your average student is likely to want to gather some supplies.
However, taking every medkit/key/bat/etc. in the school is unfair to the other players.
If you're going to take something, you should have a reason for it. Try to limit yourself to one medkit or bat as well.
Please also refrain from rushing to the item spawns. Wait until the attack delay goes off.


Rule 3; No Advertising
We'd prefer that you didn't start asking people to join another server. Not only is it annoying, but most of the players are busy playing already and won't want to switch servers. This goes for other websites as well.
However, if, for instance, our server is about to be taken down, feel free to redirect your fellow players to another server, so that they can continue playing

Rule 4; No Spamming
Continuously posting the same message, typing in CAPS all of the time, excessive punctuation etc. is not permitted. It's distracting to players.
Please also try to keep your conversations to the Watcher-Chat, if possible, so you can avoid bothering players, who may be trying to concentrate on their RP.

Rule 5; Don't chop down doors for no reason
Keys and locked rooms are a bit of a luxury and can be very helpful, both RP-wise and game-wise.
Chopping the doors down removes these opportunities, so please make sure you have a reason when cutting a door down; say, to free a trapped student, or when in pursuit of the killer.

Rule 6; Do not use the Death Note in normal mode.
Yes, the Death Note spawns in normal mode sometimes. It can be fun to use, we understand that.
However, when we play on normal mode, we're doing so because we don't want to have to worry about randomly dropping dead for no reason.
Plus, it's almost never the killer who finds the Note anyway.
In Death Note mode, you know that there is a murderer called Kira. You know that the Kira case exists. You do not know about the Death Note, you do not know about the shinigami eyes. Optionally, you may or not know that Kira kills with heart attacks

Rule 7; No Cybering.
Please refrain from cybering. This is not a chatroom after all.
However, just so long as it makes sense RP-wise, romance is fine, just so long as it doesn't go beyond kissing.

Rule 8: Don't give out information over the main chat
If you were just killed discreetly, then don't ruin your killers hard work by announcing who did it. It isn't fair on them, especially considering how lucky you have to be to kill without anyone noticing.
However, if you were RKed, do make sure to tell us who it was; just so long as it really was a Random Kill.

Rule 9; Stick to your role
If you did/didn't roll the killer and you didn't/did want to be them, please don't quit the game. It's irritating and the rest of us have to work our RP around your death. Similarly, if you don't the player icon you wanted, don't kill yourself for that either.
Also, please, only join the game if you're actually going to play. Players who are AFK all game just clutter the game up and make roleplay impossible.
Additionally, remember that you are a high school student. You're not a detective or the police.

Rule 10; Try to RP well.
This means, don't act on knowledge your character doesn't know. If we're in Death Note mode, your character doesn't know what Kira or the Death Note is. All they know is that the murder involves something called the "Kira case"
Don't act on information you get outside of the RP. If someone says "Red is the killer" over the chat, do not suddenly start attacking them.

If you've read the rules, please say "Kittens <3" in the chat, to prove you read them
