| * Eating disorders | * Eating disorders | ||
| - | * While Eating Disorders in general will not be introduced into the game by the GM team, the survivalist setting of Aftermath may mean that starvation (i.e. the inability to find food to eat) occurs in game (although by default this will fall below the abstraction level for most characters). Equally eating disorders may be present in the game as introduced by players for their characters, but any instance of this should be handled sensitively. | + | * As with all other mental illnesses, Eating Disorders are not banned from the game.

| * Note that no real-world religions or faiths will be present in the game. Any religions or faiths will be entirely fictional, and largely focusing on potential deities and their relation to the Apocalypse. | * Note that no real-world religions or faiths will be present in the game.

| - | * While OC discrimination on the basis of physical disability or mental health condition is strictly banned, a large aspect of this game is about survival. In particular, we expect physical disabilities (whether your character has them at game start, or gains them during play) to present challenges to characters in their fight for survival, based on the in-game [[wounds]] system. | + | * While OC discrimination on the basis of physical disability or mental health condition is strictly banned, a large aspect of this game is about survival.

| - | * While most forms of domestic abuse may not appear in this game, unhealthy relationships where both sides are at fault are allowed in the game (in particular relationships where one side is problematic, such as assaulting the other, are explicitly banned). | + | |

| + | * In this instance, nationality refers to O.C. nationality, and IC pre-apocalypses nationality on Dunia. It should be noted that other discrimination based on groups formed after the apocalypse may appear in the game, and aren't "Nationality" as the idea is typically used. For instance discriminating on those who choose to reside in Monument rather than those who choose to live outside it isn't banned by this definition. | ||

| * As it is impossible to know if you are related to someone (unless they are one of your Lingering Memories), there's no practical way to IC guarantee that you won't be inadvertently committing incest. For this reason, we are declaring that unless you are specifically related to someone through a lingering memory, you are definitely unrelated to anyone else, to avoid the issue of accidental incest. | * As it is impossible to know if you are related to someone (unless they are one of your Lingering Memories), there's no practical way to IC guarantee that you won't be inadvertently committing incest.

| If there is another player in the game that you feel uncomfortable roleplaying with, Under Section 4.4 of the CAT Policy anyone has the right to request to be kept apart from another person, as far as is possible. We will do our best to honour such requests, but would like players to note the following: | If there is another player in the game that you feel uncomfortable roleplaying with, Under Section 4.4 of the CAT Policy anyone has the right to request to be kept apart from another person, as far as is possible.

| However, due to the format of the game, it may be possible for people to inadvertently interact with similar plots, potentially leading to characters appearing on the same action, or needing to talk to the same NPC, without knowing that the other person is also doing so. When and if this happens, the GMs will try and minimise any interaction, and we expect players to deal with it sensibly, for example, not talking directly to each other in large group conversations. | However, due to the format of the game, it may be possible for people to inadvertently interact with similar plots, potentially leading to characters appearing on the same action, or needing to talk to the same NPC, without knowing that the other person is also doing so.
