Resurrection/Reviving
In role-playing scenarios, particularly those involving intense or traumatic events, it's common to establish guidelines or rules to maintain realism and consistency in the RP world. This is commonly referred to as "memory loss" or "amnesia" after being knocked out or incapacitated in an RP scene, adds an additional layer of immersion and challenges for characters to overcome.
Here's a breakdown of the rule:
Memory Loss Rule: After being rendered incapacitated (e.g., being "flat backed"), the affected character experiences memory loss and cannot recall events that occurred within a specified timeframe, it is set at 30 minutes.
Effect on Role-Play: This rule adds complexity to RP scenarios by introducing the element of uncertainty and vulnerability. Characters who wake up with memory loss may need to piece together what happened based on clues from other characters or their surroundings, creating opportunities for role-play interactions.
Role of EMS: Even if Emergency Medical Services (EMS) "resurrects" the character, the memory loss persists as part of the RP narrative. While EMS can provide medical assistance and revive the character, they cannot restore the lost memories within the specified timeframe.
Consistency and Fairness: Enforcing the memory loss rule ensures consistency and fairness in RP scenarios. All players abide by the same rule, contributing to a balanced and immersive RP experience for everyone involved.
Overall, rules like this contribute to the depth and realism of RP worlds by simulating the consequences of traumatic events and challenging characters to adapt and overcome obstacles within the narrative.
No Return to Scene Rule: After being involved in an RP scene that includes significant interaction or events, characters are not allowed to return to the scene once they have been picked up or revived by EMS.
Purpose: This rule ensures that RP scenarios progress naturally and prevent disruptions or inconsistencies caused by characters rejoining scenes they were previously involved in. It encourages players to accept the outcomes of RP interactions and adapt their character's story accordingly.
Enforcement: Server directors or moderators can enforce the rule by reminding players of the no return to scene policy and addressing any violations through in-game consequences or warnings.
Exceptions: Certain exceptions may apply, such as situations where characters are involved in ongoing RP storylines or events that necessitate their return to the scene with proper justification and approval from server directors. (this very limited)
