RULES

Etiquette


These can apply to the group itself and interaction within it as well as situations such as the official discord, as the etiquette rules overlap with the discord rules; however, the discord does have its own set of rules that can be referenced.

  • Most importantly, be respectful of others. Don't go around insulting other members. Don't say hateful things of marginalized groups. Don't go around picking fights. If someone is uncomfortable, don't press them harder on what's upsetting them, let it go.
  • Much of this can apply "in-character" as well. For example, while some lenience is afforded in-character (heavier subjects can be broached in stories if they're handled respectfully), imports should not come across as degrading to real people, and as such, offensive terms should not be used against others.
  • Please be cautious when handling heavy subjects. Apply proper warnings when using them in fiction, so that people who may not want to see the subject can avoid them if they need to. Be mindful if you bring them up in a chat, as they are often sensitive subjects to people who have experienced them, and if someone wants you to drop the subject, please do immediately. Be especially mindful if using humor - even if you have experienced the topic yourself, gallows humor is not for all survivors.
  • Heavy subjects include but are not limited to abuse, suicide, illness, crime, cannibalism, and similar subjects.
  • Do not Mini-Mod/Armchair Mod. We have multiple capable admins already doing their jobs, please do not step in for them. Do not talk over the admins - they have the right to make a final call. Do understand that the admins are human and can make mistakes - you do have the right to ask for clarification and note when something seems off or confusing.
  • While we will never ask you to put on a fake smile for the sake of the group, please do try to avoid extremely negative commentary. Constructive criticism is welcome, as we'd like to actually remain functional for a while, but please do try to direct it at the admins and not frame it in the form of insults. We really can't help you otherwise.

 

Mature Content

Chasmhome is an art roleplay game on a small site and has not been rated by the ESRB. You can expect, depending on context, similar content to an M-rated game, with strong language; horror situations including intense body horror, ritual sacrifice, and gore that comes in alien and cartoonish varieties as well as more realistic; suggestive themes and mature humor; and substance use; among other topics not listed here.

Art, Literature, and other media with adult themes may be submitted to Chasmhome, provided the following:

  • Art that has sexual content must be posted offsite and linked with a note that the content is NSFW as a polite heads up for the admin checking the submission. Intense and explicit kink content as well as anything with aroused genitalia counts for this. You can post it anywhere as long as an admin can see it and as long as the site allows adult art (please don't use deviantArt or discord, for example). If you are concerned your submission may read as kink content without meaning to: anything that reads as a person you could meet outside (even if reskinned to be an alien overtop their usual body type) just living their life normally is fair to post, and if you're unsure you can give a note about the content as a minor heads up. It's probably fine. Further, "Artistic nudity" without erect genitalia is fair to post in the Chasmhome gallery with a clear content warning.
  • Similarly to the last point, Please use the content warning feature when posting gore, heavy topics, and suggestive material to the Chasmhome gallery. While these aren't banned topics, people may want to know first. Please do not post sexual content to the Chasmhome gallery at this time.
  • The following rule may change if the masterlist can obtain a content warning addon. Mild gore, including candy gore and body horror, and topless characters just living their lives, are about the maximum level of adult content currently allowed on the masterlist, as it does not have a filter. Body types are not considered a thing we filter for regarding maturity for the masterlist.
  • There is an adult chat in the main discord as well as a secondary server that can be asked about in DMs. Please keep the general chats relatively PG-13.

 

Art

Overall Art Requirements and FAQs can be found here! Some additional rules are listed below.

  • AI ART WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED IN PROMPTS. Repeat offenses of this rule are a bannable offense. First offenses and clear mistakes will be pointed out but rejected from prompts.
  • If using a photograph (eg, for a background), please source the image. If you took it yourself, simply state that. Make sure any photographs are ones you have the rights to use.
  • If using a photograph for Rixixi's Lunar marking, please source the image in design credits. Link the image when uploading the design. Only astrophotography may be used for Lunar. Make sure any photographs are ones you have the rights to use and edit, due to the marking requiring the space texture to be overlaid onto a marking.
 
  • Import Templates should not be reposted to your gallery as a full PSD, or an adoptable. You may post to a scraps-style gallery (with credit to Chasmho.me, the artist's gallery, or the original deviantart group for the import) for design approval if needed.
  • Import Templates, filled out with your Rixixi, may be reposted to your gallery for things like height charts and memes as long as credit for the import (linked back to Rixixi) is present in the description. They cannot count for EXP if used in this manner, however! See Rixixi: Standard Import or any other Import Template for any other details.
  • Companion bases and other bases have their own rules in this regard - make sure to check them! For instance, most companion bases, such as Kaurphyt Raven Template, cannot be reposted to your gallery (unless in scraps), however, the Fridge Werewolf Optional Base has similar rules to an import template.

 

 

TIME-BASED ROLLS

Specific rolls can only be done a certain amount of times a day, week, month, and so on. While this is more a list for convenience, there are some additional rules for some of these, so if you need to double-check any of those, here those are for your convenience as well!

 

 

Advertisements

  • The Advertisements chat in the Discord is open to all advertisements. That said, please don't bump your own advertisement excessively: every 12+ hours on Discord at most. If your post is a PSA of some sort and not an advertisement, please check with an admin first.
  • Do not message someone asking to sell a Chasmhome character that they do not have up for sale. Be polite when negotiating sales in general and understand that some people who have no sales listed just don't intend to sell anything.
  • Selling your Chasmhome character means you no longer own that character. You can require a redesign, personality wipe, rename, and similar from the new owner, as these are all aspects of your own personal character, but you cannot control aspects of the Rixixi, B-NOMALY, Aexend, etc post-sale.
  • Slots can only be sold to Rixixi who have completed Story Mode Chapter 1. Slots can be sold in exchange for the art/lit needed to complete Story Mode Chapter 1.
    B-NOMALIES can breed without completion of a prompt, and this rule does not apply to them.

 

 

Leasing

Leasing is not officially handled by Chasmhome, but we can support it in some scenarios. All leasing must be done on the player's end - that is, we don't have official lease journals or comments on our end.

Rixixi Leasing - Loot-Dropping Activities
You may use another player's Ixi in a loot-dropping activity such as Exploring, Mining, Hunting, or Combat with their permission. Post that Ixi under your name, and have the owner of the Ixi confirm that it's okay to use them for leasing in the comments!
We recommend putting the Ixi's code in the Character box so that it's easier to track what activities they've been used in!

If you only want some of the items to go to you - e.g. if you only want Spices if they drop - the other player should post the Ixi like they normally would, and mention which item(s) would go to you. We'll transfer them for you!

Rixixi Leasing - Other Activities
Leasing is currently not supported in other activities, such as Art Barters and Seasonal Festivals - these are not stat-based, and players are allowed to use starters for them if desired!

Leasing is not allowed in Chasmjumping due to certain rewards being specific to the Rixixi.
