This is a friendly reminder from the Administration that Griefing other players is not acceptable on Ninpocho Chronicles. While the Administration does not actively police Skype and other off-site mediums, we are often made aware of what is being said by who. When players threaten other players with being ganked or make plans to do so out of character, it is not only mean-spirited but it is also an example of metagaming. Your behavior is toxic to the player-base as a whole when you do this, it may seem funny or even a joke to you but it does not feel that way to your victims or to many onlookers as you are really only seen as a bully.
If a player is ganked by a group of players that we saw also discussing off-site that they planned to do such or were found taunting their victim prior to that they would, there will likely be punitive actions taken. Recently the Administration received logs indicating some players were making these threats to other players, this concerns us greatly because NC is intended to be a creative place where we can make a story... not a place where players need to remain in a state of trepidation. The Administration will be monitoring the threads of those we saw in these logs closely to ensure that the bullying is prevented on-site. As for off-site, the only thing I can do is encourage the Skype Chatroom heads to please silence or remove these players from the Skype Room because they are hurting your community. The Administration will never force you to do so, it is your chat room. As for the victims themselves, I do recommend blocking on off-site mediums these people and/or contacting myself or another Administrator when this happens with screenshots and logs. We will archive this information and monitor you and your threads on-site.
