Roleplay and examples
A disagreement during roleplay: avoiding an OOC argument
Characters arguing and players disagreeing over a rule are different situations. Preserving the scene does not mean giving up a complaint.
Vice Roleplay · Sources checked:
You may believe another player applied a rule incorrectly during a scene. Vice’s common courtesy rules restrict interrupting play with an OOC argument. Using the proper reporting route and maintaining the scene are not mutually exclusive choices.
Identify what you are objecting to
Your character can dislike an IC answer without the player breaking a rule. Conversely, explaining an actual system or rule issue only as character anger can obscure the problem.
A rejected purchase offer is an IC outcome. If you believe the other player wrote your character’s decision for you, the objection may concern response opportunities. Describe the actual issue briefly first.
Keep context and evidence
The time and relevant events before and after an incident can explain more than one cropped line. Do not edit evidence to change its meaning, and do not expose real personal information unnecessarily in a public topic.
If a technical failure prevents continuing, give a short explanation through the appropriate route. Turning your crash into an advantage, or exploiting another player’s technical problem, does not resolve the issue.
Choose the correct submission route
A player complaint, staff complaint and account support request are different matters. Follow the current relevant route on the website; use the existing Support / Ticket route for a general technical question. Read the complaint section of the rules first.
Pressuring someone privately or moving the argument across channels cannot replace evidence. These suggestions do not guarantee a complaint will be upheld; they help a case be understood and reviewed respectfully.
