Public Service Abuse #

Legal Incorporation #
All laws, rules and regulations of the County of Miami-Dade, the State of Florida and the United States apply. While we appreciate realistic role play, we do not want perfect to be the enemy of good. Just because a good scene is unrealistic doesn’t mean it isn’t valid. Role play should be fun, even if not realistic.
Fantasy Elements #
Fantasy role-play elements, such as those normally associated with vampires, lycans, angels or demons, are permitted in an out-of-character context unless all Participants in a scene agree to their use in-character. Using these elements on any other Participant without their consent is not permitted.
