Your dirty laundry will be hung up on the Wall of Shame for all to see.
We believe in honesty. We believe in respect. And we believe in letting the truth speak louder than gossip.
So handle your issues properly — take them to staff, keep it civil, AND KEEP IT FACTUAL
We’re here to roleplay, build stories, and enjoy the world together. If you’ve got an issue with someone, take it to staff or keep it respectful. What we won’t allow is anyone tearing others down, or the server or stirring unnecessary drama. Especially while streaming live.
Keep it clean. Keep it respectful. Keep it fun.
Or you’ll find your business flapping in the wind for the whole town to read, and a one ticket out of here.
