15.15 OOC Combat Communication
While we accept that a certain level of automation in combat situations is inevitable, there are two clear cut situations where we draw a line. The following actions are not permitted under any circumstances, and will incur administrative action similar to other automated activity as outlined in HELP AUTOMATION: - Controlling other clients via issued commands. Do not play the game for other people, basically. This is considered character sharing and may result in the loss of all characters involved. Auto targetting is permitted here. Automating the actions of another character is not. Examples include triggered blocking on command, using line of sight attacks, beckoning, or any other triggered response which can be ordered by someone else to force others to carry out a game action. This is considered playing for someone else and is not permitted. - Using out of character/out of game channels to pass large amounts of relevant real time information. This is more a common sense one. Talking to your buddies on Discord about stuff is fine. Passing large amounts of game state or real time data isn't. Don't metagame, don't use OOC means to circumvent game mechanics. - If you are sending so much information that you require it to be gagged by others, to the point where anyone without your gags is getting unbearably spammed: this is no longer communicating with a character but with a system and falls under unacceptable levels of automated information relaying. - Clans built for the purposes of mass information reporting are not allowed.
