CORPUS JURIS
ESTABLISHED BY FOUNDER JUSTINIAN KALOMINOS AND DELEGATE CONSTANTINE LAMBROS

I. COMMON DECORUM

1. Content in The Amphitheatre shall conform to common standards of decency and mutual respect in order to create a welcoming and enjoyable environment for all roleplayers.
   
2. Content may not insult individual roleplayers or real life groups or incite others to respond with insults. Content may not be inherently offensive or hateful or imply an endorsement of offensive or hateful views.
   
3. Content may not feature personal information from individuals without their express consent. Such content includes but is not limited to names, addresses, email addresses, IP addresses, telephone numbers and social media accounts.
   
4. Content must be substantial and conform to individual thread rules. Content may not be garish or irrelevant. Irrelevancy includes but is not limited to multiple posts with broadly the same content, posts that may reasonably be construed as gravedigging, commercial advertising and posts that fall under the general perception of spam.
   
5. Threads must be posted in the proper subforum, as indicated in the descriptions below each of their names.
   

II. ROLEPLAY STANDARDS

1. Players may not make themselves invincible to attack or portray themselves in such a manner that any attack on them would generally be useless, unless they are participating in a Summa Cavea roleplay that explicitly permits such behaviour. Such invincibility could be achieved through the adoption of unusually high national statistics or by claiming to block attacks through unrealistic means.
   
2. Players may not use information gained through out-of-character means to obtain an in-character advantage.
   
3. Players may not act upon other players without their consent. Such acts include but are not limited to invasions, aerial or maritime attacks, entering into treaties, assassinations and infiltrations.
   
4. Players affected by the above two may disavow such acts and have them automatically removed from the regional canon.
   
5. Players may opt to enact time jumps no longer than a week for roleplays in which they participate within Ima Cavea and Media Cavea, but other players not participating in the roleplay are not required to honour it. Players may institute longer time jumps for roleplays in Summa Cavea.
   
6. Roleplays must have an in-character thread for all in-character developments and an out-of-character thread for all out-of-character discussion, planning and developments.
   

III. REGIONAL CANON

1. Content posted in Media Cavea shall comprise the regional canon and shall always happen in the context of a modern tech world.
   
2. Content shall not be modern tech if it features anything not existing in the real world, including but not limited to fantasy creatures, manned interplanetary travel, time travel, teleportation and futuristic technology.
   
3. Content that features the above in the context of science fiction or folklore while precluding their status as canon events is allowed.
   
4. Technology that could be feasibly available in the real world in the next ten years might be allowed with the approval of the Founder.
   
5. In all cases of controversy or doubt with regards to what is allowed in the regional canon the Founder shall act as the final arbiter, but he may choose to appoint representatives to issue rulings that can be subsequently appealed to him.
   

IV. REGIONAL MAP

1. Roleplay in Media Cavea shall be conducted based on the Map of Artemia designed by Justinian Kalominos and presence in the region and on the map shall be required in order to participate in said subforum.
   
2. Requests for inclusion in the regional map shall be done through the dedicated forum thread and shall be limited to one plot not exceeding thirty thousand pixels.
   
3. Users may not register additional accounts in order to acquire additional plots. A security check will be performed with all requests to verify the individuality of the requesting user.
   
4. Users may enhance their own plots and make useful edits to the regional map so long as they do not take credit for its original creation. Justinian Kalominos retains the right to disavow any undue edits produced by third parties.
   
5. Users may not hold multiple independent nations within the same plot in the context of the regional canon without authorisation from the Founder.
   

V. SUMMARY

1. You should respect others and remember that we come here to have fun. That means no insulting or inciting others, no posting personal information and no spamming.
   
2. When we roleplay we are doing collaborative storytelling. It will ruin the story if you make yourself immune to attacks, attack others without asking for their permission first or do anything that gives you an unfair advantage over others.
   
3. When roleplaying in Media Cava, the rule of thumb is that if it does not exist in the real world, then you cannot use it. You only get a pass if you use unrealistic stuff as part of your national myths and legends.
   
4. You need to be on the regional map if you want to participate in Media Cavea. You must apply on the requests thread and remember that you only get one plot that cannot be larger than 30 000 pixels.
   

NOTICE:
These rules may be altered at any time by agreement of the Founder and the Delegate or by agreement of the Founder and a majority of roleplayers. Changes to these rules will be properly advertised and made with the best interests of the roleplaying community in mind.
