Undernet:Rules

These are the current rules for #werewolf and other channels under the namespace. Breaking these rules may lead to a warning or being banned from the channel.

The most important rule is: use common sense.

Channel rules

• Be nice to each other. No bigotry.
• Avoid excessive swearing.
• Unauthorized bots, public logging and/or related activities are not permitted.
• Automated messages to the channel, including but not limited to anti-idle scripts, away notifications and similar, are not allowed.
• Refrain from manually highlighting people unless you know they won't mind.
• Don't spam. This includes, but is not limited to:
  • Spamming and/or abusing .start or other bot commands.
  • Posting text longer than 3 lines, or very long lines. Use a pastebin such as gist.github.com or dpaste.com.
  • Posting ASCII art. If you really have to, use a pastebin or link to a picture.
  • Posting garbage or other worthless messages.
  • Excessive shouting (CAPS LOCK).
  • Abusing colours.
  • Excessive nick changes.
• Don't advertise other channels.

Gameplay rules

• Players may not share information or be involved in gameplay-related communications to players either during the game or after dying (including dead vengeful ghosts). This means no private messages to players.
• Do not paste gameplay-related messages that came from outside of #werewolf (such as from a private message, safe channel, or wolf chat) during the game, except in the following circumstances:
  • Pasting messages into wolf chat is allowed.
• Don't make tedious hints. Hashing/encoding hints and messing with colors can be uncreative and boring. If asked to stop doing it, stop and find a more fun way of hinting.
• Don't play with clones; only one player per actual person is allowed. Any player found to be using clones will immediately be banned from the game.
• Don't fake gameplay messages from the bot.
• Don't use /whois idle times.
• Don't quit or deliberately idle out after a game has started unless you really need to leave.
• Automatic sharing of game-related information, including but not limited to automated messages to the bot or other players, is not permitted.
• Waiting for timeouts is discouraged.
