==Rules==

==2. Rules.==
   
 
* Rules are kept to a minimum on GarouMUSH. Because of this, there is a lot of freedom. We ask that this privilege not be abused. You should avoid provoking a player who has expressed interest in not roleplaying with you. For example, Sheds Blood throws a stone at Shadow Fur. Shadow Fur's player pages Sheds Blood with "Please don I'm busy talking to Makes Faces." and then leaves the room, it would be rude for Sheds Blood to chase Shadow Fur from room to room and continue to throw stones. There is no consent rule on GarouMUSH. If people cannot agree on the reality of a situation, a third party should be called in to arbitrate.

* The only rules strictly followed are those listed in the Introductory Document and in online documentation such as news. Individual GMs may rule differently on similar circumstances. It is in your best interest to work out a consensus for the situation, rather than spouting rules.

* In the case of an unresolvable conflict, both parties may choose a third party to arbitrate. The third party does not have to be a wizard. Short of appeal to the wizcorps, that person's decision should be considered final and binding, if all parties agreed on that person's selection.

* Please do not make OOC comments such as 'Sorry, line noise' or have OOC disconnect messages. These emits ruin the mood for other players.

* Please pay attention to atmosphere when joining in a scene. Watch other's actions and respond to the mood they have set for the scene. Don't bubble into someone's funeral and wag your tail. Give others the leisure to set the scene with poses, and pose an arrival which does not make assumptions about the area you are entering.

==4. Items.==
   
 
* Items are often an important part of character play. Items may be created whenever play requires it. However, remember that items require DB space, which is very limited. Whenever possible, pose imaginary items instead of creating them. A general rule to follow is: If the object only functions to hold a description, then please mention the object during play rather than creating it.

* Finally, if you have enjoyed roleplaying with someone, it doesn't hurt to page them afterwards and tell them so. Letting people know that you had a good time is sometimes the best compliment of all.

* We ask that you try to use good grammar and creative language. Everyone here should have more than a passing familiarity with the rules of English. This goes for everything outside the OOC Lounge, including poses and all descriptions.
