Age

All Players must have reached the age of majority (18+ in most places) to play on Inheritance Gambit and have legal control over their persons, actions and decisions.

Titles rated AO (Adults Only) have content that should only be played by persons 18 years and older. Titles […]

Harassment

Merriam-Webster defines ‘harass’ as “to annoy persistently: to create an unpleasant or hostile situation for especially by uninvited and unwelcome verbal or physical conduct”. On Inheritance Gambit, we extend this to any contact through our site and servers. Of note, this is the creation of a ‘hostile situation’ even if that is not the intent. […]

Player Conflict

Where you have people, you inevitably have conflict. And that’s fine. It’s how that conflict is handed that is important. One of the reasons that Inheritance Gambit is an adults-only game is so we can expect a certain amount of maturity. Much as Staff doesn’t want to micromanage the Player’s RP, nor does Staff want to […]

Playstyle

Inheritance Gambit is, above all other things, an environment for telling stories of a wide variety of types and scales from personal stories of adventure, loss or redemption to city shaking epics that redefine life as we know it. There are a few things we would like to note about our ‘playstyle’ here, though, in […]

Privacy

What personal data we collect and why we collect it Inheritance Gambit requires an email from all Players. First and foremost that is how we communicate with our players using the Tickets system Inheritance Gambit uses instead of the +jobs system found on most MUSHes. It also allows Staff to connect Player alts together. Staff doesn’t […]

Sex on the Game

Inheritance Gambit is not a sexually-focused game. Public rooms and channels, both IC and OOC should be “Mature” per our Game Rating. Staff has no interest in policing private rooms or private RP. What happens between consenting players and characters is not our concern. Revision History 2017-10-10 by Galactica – Policy Created

Staff Discretion

While Staff has made an effort to provide clear and consistent policies, we do recognize that we’re not perfect. Policies we write may have unintended effects or flat out not work the way we intended them to. Staff’s goal is always to encourage RP and prevent player conflict, but the methods used may occasionally change […]
