| * **PvP and PvE** - Both are allowed and expected. We will consider plans, relevant Pros and Cons, and any preparation that your character has completed prior to a given PvP/PvE confrontation, and try to give a fair outcome after considering these and other relevant factors. Please bear in mind we will treat illegal activities e.g. attempted murder of another character as such. After all, the UK in 1997 was not a lawless land. For further details, see our [[pveandpvp|Policy on PvE and PvP]]. | * **PvP and PvE** - Both are allowed and expected.

| - | * **Emailing** - Unless someone gives you their CryptoNet email, it may not be clear whether the person you're interacting with is a PC or an NPC. Rather than trying to guess a character's email or assuming that they do indeed have a player behind them, if you want to send an email to a certain character we recommend sending an [[gm@cryptonet.chaosdeathfish.com|email to the GM team]] with your message and who you're trying to contact. The goal is immersion, and part of this is keeping the division between PC and NPC more ambiguous. | + | * **Emailing** - Unless someone gives you their CryptoNet email, it may not be clear whether the person you're interacting with is a PC or an NPC.

Please note that there is nothing to stop you giving your email address out either in a GM-routed email or the forums, and we would encourage you to do that if it makes sense for your character. |
| * **Direct messaging** - Specifically, direct messaging on the forum itself. The GM team asks that you **do not use the direct messaging option on the forum**. Unfortunately, we cannot track these messages and, among other things, this may make it harder for us to follow or clarify points in a plan while processing turnsheets. | * **Direct messaging** - Specifically, direct messaging on the forum itself.

| * **On the Forum** - Much like on a real forum it's hard to read someone's body language and gauge how uncomfortable someone is. If someone is making you uncomfortable out of character, either due to post content or themes that are not strictly banned but are uncomfortable for you, you are well within your rights to indicate OC that you would like the other user(s) to back off. Although we hope that our players will respect a request to move on, if this continues to be a problem, or you are uncomfortable asking a user to stop discussing a given topic, you can [[gm@cryptonet.chaosdeathfish.com|email the GMs]], and we will intervene. And, naturally, banned topics, as indicated on our [[catpolicy|Conduct & Themes page]] will not be tolerated on the forum, and you will be asked by the GM team to stop. If you continue despite the warning we reserve the right to ban you from the game. | * **On the Forum** - Much like on a real forum it's hard to read someone's body language and gauge how uncomfortable someone is.
