**Join Our Discord Server**

**Get the Invite**

The **Mythgate Discord** is a Discord server for those who wish to play in the Living World Campaign: Mythgate. Mythgate is a game run by a team of experienced Admins, many of which have a decade - or more! - of experience in the the Tabletop community. We've been doing this for a long time, and we want to give back some of the good times we've had, by helping to create a community that's accessible to everyone, no matter who they are.

## Joining

1. Register your account on Discord. It is recommended to download the Discord client for the device you are on.
2. Use the invite link, to join the server, and then follow the instructions given.
3. Next, you will initially enter the channel `#welcome` and likely be greeted by our staff and players. It is recommended from there you review our landing page broad overview channel `#getting-started` then proceed from there!

## Guidelines

1. **Discord ToS.** Discord ToS is expected to be followed at all times. It isn't actually hard to follow, and just includes a list of basic things that are expected from individuals to be respectful towards other's, but I'll give a recap: No harassment, racism, homophobia, transphobia, bestiality, under-18 sexual activities(implied or otherwise), celebration of violence, threats of violence, and much, much more. If curious, you are free to read the Terms of Service here: https://discord.com/new/terms
2. **Respect.** With the big one out of the way, respect is a big part of our community. We expect our players to be respectful towards each other. Although we do recognize that due to the nature of things, arguments can arise and become heated - if this is the case, a member of Staff may step in and handle things as is appropriate. It shouldn't need to be said, but don't go insulting each other. You are adults, and you are expected to act as such.
3. **Harassment.** Harassment is an issue in the online community, and if it is done so within our community - whether this be through DMs, through another server, or otherwise - a punishment may be incurred based upon the `#punishments` system we have in place. You can read that channel for more information.
4. **Criticism.** Criticism is expected to be constructive. We fully expect, allow, and welcome criticism of our systems, rules, content and more, but we ask that individuals who do criticize, at least make it constructive and useful. If your criticism is "the session last night sucked", and refuse to elaborate, we can't fix anything.
5. **Competition.** The Living World Tabletop Community is small, but thriving. We understand that there will be competition between servers. We ask that all members remain respectful of other communities. Berating them, insulting them, and more, is strictly prohibited. You can talk about why you disliked a community, but don't be disrespectful about it.
6. **Phobias, Slurs & More.** Although touched on in the first part under Discord ToS, please be aware that we will not accept transphobia, homophobia, racism, slurs, etc, under any circumstance. This also goes for sexual harassment, inflammatory comments, misogyny, and much, much more. Although we do not expect you to be 'politically correct', You do not have to like someone, but you do have to respect their right to exist.
7. **Staff Respect.** Staff are unpaid volunteers of the server. They are also the individuals who keep the server running, and may handle punishments when one is deemed a requirement. Furthermore, Staff put a significant amount of effort into the game, and world. Respect them, and their words.
8. **18+ Community.** We are an 18+ community. This is without exception. You are required to be of a minimum of 18 to be within this Discord. This is due to the nature of the community, which does have adult aspects within a roleplay context. If you are found to be under 18, you will be banned from the community and may appeal your ban upon becoming 18. Although this is not related to being 18, if you are found to be engaging in sexual acts with minors, implied or otherwise, you will be permanently banned with no chance of appeal.
9. **Media.** To continue upon the above, although we do have a channel dedicated to nsfw content, all content posted there is expected to remain within the lines of Discord ToS. A pin within the `#nsfw` channel will have a more thorough explanation of what is and isn't allowed.
10. **Arguing with Staff.** A frequent issue is arguments against Staff and their rulings. You are free to give input, and discuss reasoning for rulings within #feedback-and-suggestions, but please do not ever argue with a Staff member during a session. This disrupts the session and other player's enjoyment of the session. If you dislike it, leave the session, and inform an Admin of your decision and why. This way, we can assess the situation and speak to the GM directly after their session is over, to help them improve.
11. **English.** We are an English speaking server, and expect all members of our community to communicate primarily in English. Although we do recognize that some individuals speak other languages, and we're perfectly fine allowing people to say phrases and lines in other languages, we do not want individuals to have entire conversations in another language, as this can make it difficult for us to moderate it, with or without a translator, as the vast majority of our Staff speak English as their first language.
12. **Rule Changes & Context.** Many of our rules are context dependent, and we encourage our Staff to look at any rulebreaks based upon the context. Please note that anyone who seeks loopholes in the rules shall be punished rather harshly. Furthermore, we reserve the right to change the rules as we see fit, although all rule changes will be voted on by Staff, and announced to ensure everyone is kept up to date on what is changed.
