ICC Overview & Rules

  • The In-Character Chat (ICC) is a section of our Discord server reserved for active members to roleplay their characters in a casual, laid back setting while they wait on their writing partners on the forum to respond, or just to pass time in general. All of our standard Discord rules apply, with some additional details and modifications.

    Characters should not be roleplayed in the ICC until they are approved by the staff. Roleplaying a character should be done utilizing the Tupperbox or Pluralkit proxy accounts.

    Messages in the ICC should be brief. We require the use of third person, just like the site. Speech should be clearly marked with quotation marks, and actions included. Thoughts should not make up a significant portion of your messages, as they are impossible to roleplay with unless someone can read minds, and your messages should not be full paragraphs.

    Use the correct room type. There are three types of ICC rooms that characters can enter: public rooms, private rooms, and event rooms.
    • Public rooms are standardized settings within the town of Polaris Pass, set as local hang outs frequented by the locals and visitors alike. These rooms are The Last Stop (a community center), The Haunt (a bar), Cryptid Cafe, and Wagon Station Park. Of those, The Haunt and Cryptid Cafe only allow those of drinking age (18+) inside. Time is fluid in the public rooms, within reason; you do not need to worry about whether your character should still technically be at work or otherwise occupied when you decide to bring them in.
    • Private threads have locations set on creation and are an alternative to making a thread on the forum, for those who want to hammer out an important interaction, or just play out a scene that they don't think needs a full thread.​
    • Event rooms are special in that they may only be roleplayed in as part of an active staff-run event. These rooms are used less frequently than the other two types. Staff will announce whenever the event rooms will be open for a particular event.​
    Explicit content should not be in any public or event ICC rooms. For example; your character may talk about their sex life in the Haunt while having a drink, but they should not go into graphic detail about their sex life while getting completely plastered. If it would require an explicit tag, it should not be in public.

    Please do not bring a character into a public room with the intention of causing a disturbance. For example; if one of your characters would fist-fight another character who is currently being played in The Last Stop on sight, you should choose a different character, a different public ICC location, or opt to not enter the ICC at that moment altogether. This would include bringing a minor into The Haunt, or insisting on bringing what a human would perceive as a strange animal inside.

    Characters who do cause a significant disturbance will be removed from the ICC by the appropriate authorities: police, EMTs, etc. If a player has two characters removed from the ICC within a single thirty day period, that player will be temporarily banned from the ICC for two weeks.

    The public ICC rooms are meant for all of our members, and as such we want everyone to feel like they belong there. Please do your best to not ignore other players in the public rooms. If your character would ignore them, that is one thing - just make a note in character that that is what is happening.

    Open ICC Rules: Open ICC's function similar to the private rooms, and are meant to resemble the concept of Open Threads on the forum. You will set and update content warnings similar to how Private ICCs are done, as well as set a scene. The addition to the standard header that Open ICCs have compared to Private ICCs are character caps. You can have any number of active characters in the ICC as long as it is less than the cap established in the ICC header. These Open ICCs do not operate at the same time and speed as the public established locations. Whenever a `pause` is the most recent message in an OpenICC, that thread is considered closed even if it is below the max character cap.

    Open ICC's can be joined at anyone's discretion as long as there is room for their character. This is not intended to follow the same drop in/drop out mentality public real-time channels operate on.
