Here are some basic things to keep in mind while rping with Madison or any of her chars. This should be treated as routine given (Otherwise a mandatory custom) to abide by these, exclusively while RP'ing with Madison specifically (but not always specifically to others in the scene with her unless stated otherwise). You are by no means "forced" to interact with Madison's chars, therefore these guidelines can be avoided, simply by not rping with Madison or her chars at all. The moment you interact with Madison and her chars, it is a given you have agreed to the player guidelines (or role players, if others choose to also follow these standards). If this is your first time reading this and you are new to these guidelines, please refer to the "Written in stone" section, listed below.

Written in stone - Acknowledgment: You've understood this in full, and agreed willingly, and respectfully to these guidelines listed below, with full understanding of them. Have you not of read this, scenes may (and likely WILL since this is not stressed unless a guideline is directly violated in arrogance.) be safely nulled in full at Madison's or other player's discretion (other players being those who are familiar with these guidelines, and have rped with her before), prior to understanding the agreement. This overrides the authority of other group clichés within white wolf dedicated online servers or tabletop groups, and is the ABSOLUTE authority, based on player respect between one and other. As stated above in the intro, all of these guidelines may be avoided, by simply just not playing with Madison. No one is forcing you to do so.

1. Consent PK'ing (Ward against death) : Despite what happens, or how ugly things get, you will not meet final death while in combat or a hostile situation directly with Madison (or her characters) that would result in you not being able to play that char ever again. Unless mutual consent is agreed to, prior to the event, your character, nor will Madison’s ever reach final death state in the scene which has occurred. This doesn’t mean any of Madison's chars are invincible, wounds, gunshots, stabs all still hurt. Madison's chars can still lose combat situations; it is simply reserved that an unavoidable final death is not brought into any of these situations unless consent is agreed upon. Consider the damage capped at health levels right before final death. (Staking, kidnapping, torture, and other things in such likeness, but not final death itself, do not apply to this.)

2. Scene Blacking and Nulling : You have the right to null out (otherwise nullify) any scene rp'ed with Madison or her characters, at any time (and vice versa). If something happens that will have a drastic impact on your char that you do not wish to confront, simply request that the scene be nulled, and it likely will be (I’m not some sort of monster). Likewise if you don’t mind something happening, but don’t want to go through rp’ing it out, or having sit through the process in which the specific event occurs or is set up, or therefore a result of. Simply a “Blackout” can be called, to allow a scene or event to be “skipped through”, and shifted straight to the next part.

3. Chronicle Continuation: While constantly rping with Madison, events similar to chronicle based situations may pop up. If a scene is "Paused" or "Frozen". It will respectively be held. Unless the scene is returned to within a week or so (Madison or one of her chars must therefore be present), it will automatically be nulled out in full (or otherwise the "different universe/alternate reality" standard). Whatever has happened during that time, is racked up to "not having occurred". It's impolite to leave people waiting. This affects both Madison's characters, and yours, to prevent you and her from ever being stuck in a scene eternally.

4. Love, romance and adult situations otherwise: Role play is only role play, and throughout game play, one may fall in love, form a relationship, or become an active interest with one of Madison's chars. This does not restrict coupling some chars with others or otherwise proceeding to form a romantic relationship, adult situations should inevitably be expected (Some may conclude that the concept of WoD itself is almost built on an R rated foundation, while this is not entirely wrong, there are some things that could bother other players if they are not aware of details). However love developed between two people is one thing, being a servant to someone else in terms of a "love slave" or similar type relation is something else. Fair stressing to the whole ongoing master and mistress, sub and dom interaction, to distinguish them accordingly. Should it be in any type of ring, group or person as a single, it is not to be expected right away in any form of relationship withheld in such a way is plunged into, just like that (even lvl 3 blood bonds, for example are not instantaneous). Not that this cannot happen, occasionally a scene calls for just such a situation, but it is not intended to be an overnight thing.

5. Mistakes and pardons : Some people make mistakes, not everyone knows all the rules, it's a lot to remember when you have several games in your head, Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Demon, Kuei-Jin etc etc. Not everyone lives, eats, sleeps, breaths White-Wolf because of real life. Guides/Handbooks/Rulebooks to clans/packs/venues and such are not always avail to people, and because of this there will be occasional errors in RP. An honest mistake is an honest mistake. There is many fair and good Rp'ers who are willing to learn, but because they don’t honestly know specifications to an particular clan/pack/disc/gift they are labeled as twinks by stuck up arrogant self proclaimed subject authority white wolf figures/players. If your not sure of something, or make a mistake, feel free to ask what should be done or for a pardon until acknowledgment of whatever mistake made has been rectified properly. Nobody is perfect, it’s just a game afterall.

6. Zookeeping : Please keep all combat monkeys inside of their cages. It is understandable that combat situations occur, but under no circumstance will a combat monkey be acknowledged in any shape way or form without presentation, or a good reason for there to be a combat scene out of whatever situation may have occurred. Any person (or persons) who magically appear without some shape, form, background or legitimate reason behind being the one to start a combat situation, will be placed on ignore (for obvious ignorance), and additionally added to the blacklist on the front page after crossing the line. If you really have nothing better to do than be a straight out ignorant combat monkey, then you’re missing the whole in-depth RP and story factor of the games created by white wolf.

7. EXP and development standards: There are many ways to earn exp, and to progress your char as you go. It's safe to say at least 0.5 is generated a day, so with this in regulation, about 3-7 exp every "2" weeks, could be considered basic development. This is the typical standard, and should be considered as the standard for development in all individual chars within these pages.
