It is a harsh desert planet where only the fittest survive, and competition over extremely scarce resources causes constant strife and bloodshed. The MUD is run by volunteer staff, using resources provided by the staff. It should be noted that the game is provided and maintained as a courtesy on our part, and that while we try to maintain fairness to the players, we do insist on certain rules being followed. If you choose not to play by these rules, the staff reserves the right to cease providing that courtesy to you. If you do not want to roleplay, please go elsewhere.
Different people have different ideas of what it means to roleplay.
What matters is that if you want to play this game, you will need to adhere to the staff's definition of roleplaying. Roleplaying is more than the use of the emote command. Actions designed purely to advance skills, such as spamming commands, with no regard for roleplay. Code abuse, such as finding a loophole that can be exploited to your character's gain and employing it to do so. Using OOC information to drive the actions of your character, such as information gained through a previous character, or from another player outside the game.
