RULES

1. Respect others. There is always another person on the other side of the screen with their own feelings, perspectives, experiences and beliefs. Always respect other players' boundaries and permissions.

2. Only players over the age of 18 are allowed to take part in sexually explicit content. Player age should be available info either on a character profile or in a permissions post in the journal.

3. IC=/=OOC. A separation between things that are within fictional ("in character") space and things in real ("out of character") space should be kept in mind. Do not take a character's actions as a personal attack, don't use your own character's actions to attack a player or their decisions, don't use a character as mouthpiece for own opinions, and refrain from taking the opinions of a character as the player's own.

4. Warn for questionable content. Somewhere clearly visible, please warn for sexual content, excessive violence, triggering behaviour, sexism, racism, homophobia, ableism and similar problematic topics.

5. Have fun. The setting of 0hlala is very wide and can facilitate both real life Parisian places as well as made-up/generic ones. Use it as you see fit. All events and prompts are to help players enjoy themselves, they are suggestions, not requirements.

FAQ

WHO CAN PLAY? WHAT CHARACTERS ARE ALLOWED?
0hlala is an open community. Anyone who wants to join can do so and the setting is accepting of characters from all kinds of canons, including fantasy, sci-fi, superhero, historical canons and the like. If you can think up some magic, timey-wimey reason that your character should find themselves in modern day Paris, we'll take it. We accept canon characters, AU characters, original characters and fandom OCs.

WHAT'S IN THE SETTING?
While everything you might imagine you could find in the real Paris is available to use within the setting of this sandbox, it is meant to be a pretty loose modern city setting that can offer all you could need to meet your coffee shop au and florist wants. This space welcomes tourists, gangsters, politicians, socialites, random guy on the street and his superhero friend. Historical time travelers, sci-fi visitors, aliens and other crack ideas. All is good.

WHAT KIND OF EVENTS ARE THERE?
Every week an in-setting newspaper will hit the streets, presenting some of the many options available to those who need an idea about what to play in the form of announcements and similar openings. There might be a review of a new exhibit at a museum, some gangster crimes that have taken place, political decisions that have an effect on local affairs and the like. There will also be job ads and give-aways to amusement parks and events. Some of these things will be put up as meme-ish posts, open to all.

IS THERE A NETWORK?
There is, in fact, a network. Upon arriving or when living in the city, characters can access an online network on their phones or computers where they can talk to other Parisian citizens and exchange info, smalltalk, whatever they deem necessary. The network has no separate community, but network posts can be tagged as such and there's a formatting code here, though using it is completely optional.

WHAT IF I BREAK THE RULES OR SOMEONE ELSE DOES?
There is no strike system in place in 0hlala, but if problems are brought to the mod, I will initiate dialogue with the players in question and figure something out. Worst case sccenario, in extreme cases, someone could get banned, but we'll try not to go there.

S., thewriteway, is the mod of 0hlala and can be contacted via 0hlalamoderation or in a comment here. All comments are screened until I unscreen, if it's info that would benefit being widely available.
