Utopia Station Rules

Utopia Station rules

1. Exercise common sense.
2. The authority here are called “councilors”.  Their rulings are final.  There is no appeals process.
3. We are NOT the primary users of this sim.  Please respect that.  We will do anything necessary to keep our hosts happy.
4. No nudity, sexual animations or poses, or sexual activity in local chat.
5. No gesturbating.
6. Don’t be an asshole.  Yes, I know there is a certain dystopian element to SL cyberpunk roleplay, but if you walk up, plop down at the bar, and start insulting everyone, it is impossible for fulfilling, fun RP to follow from that.
7. Utopia is a scifi/cyberpunk sim.  Please respect the setting:
1. The time frame is 25th century post apocalyptic Earth.  The surface has been laid waste, and cities float at different altitudes in order to get clear of the clouds of pollution.  The technology level is cyberpunk - energy weapons are young in their evolution.  Spaceship drive systems are newtonian.  There are no transporters, hyperdrives, or warp drives.
2. No furries.  If you look like you walked out of a cartoon, you may be asked to change.
3. No aliens, telepaths, demons, or magic.  If you’re a time lord, make sure we never know about it.
4. In the Utopia universe, it is impossible to wield a handheld weapon that is longer than 1.5 meters.  Even if you have the strength, you don’t have the leverage.  Similarly, no mechs or powered battlesuits that cause the overall width or height of your avatar to increase by more than 15% will be permitted.
5. Visits by small space fighters and transport craft are permitted.  (objects auto return after 1 hour)  Visits by larger capital ships must be planned in advance with the councilors.
6. While Utopia is an open station, characters will be screened by security and asked to stow weapons while aboard.  If you carry weapons around onboard anyway, be prepared to be considered hostile at any time.
7. If you show up and claim to be Q, an AI of godlike power, etc., you may be contacted by a councilor and asked to revisit the scope of your character.  Characters that are so powerful they disrupt the playing experience of others will not be permitted.
8. Combat is RP only.  Take turns.  Each turn represents about a second of real time, so drawing a weapon, firing at 5 people, and running for the door is impossible all in one turn.  React to what others do in a realistic and interesting way.
