Preamble

This page serves as an extension of the official rules, providing additional explanations, examples, and clarifications to ensure all players fully understand the community's expectations.

While the official rules outline the fundamental dos and don’ts, this supplement expands on those principles with practical scenarios, common misconceptions, and best practices. It is not meant to replace the official rules but rather to assist players—both new and experienced—in navigating the nuances of roleplay and fair gameplay.

If any contradictions arise between this page and the official ruleset, the official rules take precedence. Always refer to the primary rules page for authoritative guidance.

By following these expanded guidelines, players can engage in more immersive roleplay experiences, reduce misunderstandings, and contribute to a more enjoyable environment for everyone.
