INCEST, oh boy

Posted by Hellfrog on 10/25/18
Well, I never thought to do this, but I guess that's why some people report it as rampant, so I'm adding incest to our list of prohibited themes. That means:

Incest is Not Okay in the setting. It's something that is ruinous to family members if it gets out. So, if Lord Steve and his sister Lady Sally are rping a Scandalous Incesturous relationship, it falls to those in authority over them to punish them if they are being overt about it. IT IS NOT FUN TO BE IN THE POSITION OF THE AUTHORITY FORCED TO ACT ON THIS, so incest is not okay to openly rp on Arx.

If you and a consenting friend (please do NOT propose this to players you don't know) want to rp out some incest privately, behind closed doors, WITHOUT DRAGGING ANYONE ELSE INTO IT, we will never know, and thus it will never be an issue.

I'm sorry, because I realize that the thrill and attention of rubbing scandal in the faces of onlookers is part of the appeal of this type of RP, but we (staff) don't want to deal with a bunch of 'denobled for 1st cousin banging' storylines, and we don't want our players in positions of authority to have to deal with it, either.

Thank you, and goodnight.
