===Property and Furniture=== | |||
; : When characters purchase or rent properties, any previous furniture placed by a previous owner will remain in the property, ownership of the furniture is not transferable so a new owner can either leave the furniture as is, or destroy it. DMs will not intervene to change ownership of the furniture to a new holder of the property. | |||
:: '''i.''' If the existing owner of furniture is alive and able to transfer ownership of the furniture to the new holder, and the characters wish to exchange furniture in this way in an in character manner, that is permitted. | |||
:: '''ii.''' When interacting with furniture, the owner name is displayed, however this alone is not sufficient to know IC who the owner is and should be considered OOC information | |||

We ask that players aspire, whenever possible, to do so only after significant history and as the evolution of major conflict. Killing a player character should be viewed as the extremely grave, serious, and irreversible decision that it is. | ||

Assassins are not required to have a relationship with their target (they are only expected to obtain an appropriately high, upfront payment, or down payment, and an unambiguous contract to kill). The burden of responsibility is squarely upon the purchaser; ordering an assassination must be understood as the severe decision that it is. | ||

===Quest Baiting=== | |||
; : The practice of using the promise of a specific scripted quest as a method for luring a potential target for muggings, banditry, or assassinations requires DM supervision. Players are encouraged to pursue alternate and creative schemes to go after an enemy; but similarly players are advised that they should not consider quests as any kind of OOC shield from consequences or enemies. | |||
