As per our Wiki: "We allow same-sex or male/female romance as both parties deem fit. However, if another player does not want to be involved in a relationship, do not pester them about it."
One thing that we do not cover is tangental erotic roleplay through instant messaging systems, such as AIM. That is because such roleplay is generally not considered part of the game. What players do with other players off this board is, for the most part, their own business.
That said, this game is not to be used as a gateway to find people to harass for erotic RP over IM. Our players should be able to feel safe to participate in Deadzone related group activities, such as our usual AIM group, without the concern that they will be pressured to engage in unwanted ERP. While such areas are technically not part of the game, the fact is that such rooms would not exist if it weren't for the game, and are often used to organize game matters. If players who share their IMs with the rest of Deadzone are the recipients of unwanted advances thanks to that sharing, it really discourages them from playing on the game as a whole, and even though it happens 'off board,' it reflects poorly on the board itself.
If you find someone using the game in that manner, please inform an admin. Be aware that even if the other player has been in the game for a long time, it's possible that the admin are unaware, or that no one else has brought the matter up to the admin. We can't do anything if no one tells us anything, and we do want players to be able to feel safe to 'hang out.' As such, if a player is caught pressuring another player into engaging in undesired RP with them, steps will be taken to protect our player base.
