The Kingdom of Loathing is not a place that would ever be accused of taking itself too seriously. Nevertheless, there comes a time in the lifespan of every community that doesn't actively discriminate against 12-year-olds at which some rules must be established. 99.9% of you will never butt heads with any of these rules, but you will almost assuredly butt heads with the .1% who will. And so, Mr. Non-Jackass Kingdom of Loathing Player, these policies are for you.
Here are the rules:

1. Don't act like a jackass in the chat.

This may seem like a rule that leaves a lot of room for interpretation. That's because this is a rule that leaves a lot of room for interpretation. One man's lampshade-on-the-head jackassery is another man's high-brow entertainment. Some things, however, are situated FIRMLY in the category of jackassery. Posting line after line of random characters, for one. Constantly begging for Meat and items is another. You either get the picture, or you don't, and if you don't, odds are you don't care whether or not you act like a jackass.
Aggravated violation of this rule will result in a fine (Meat and/or items) being levied against your character in the amount of "however much we feel like taking, you jackass." You may or may not also have your chat privileges suspended for however long we feel like suspending them. Repeated aggravated violation will result in the deactivation of your account.

If you come back in with a different account, and keep acting like a jackass, it will be considered multi abuse, and dealt with in accordance with Rule #4.

2. Don't scam people.

Yes, it's possible to trick people into giving you stuff. Yes, it's even possible to trick people into giving you their password, to log on to their account, and to send all of their stuff to your character. It's also possible to write scripts that use remote form submission to make people do things they don't want to do.
In the real world, it's possible to randomly punch strangers in the stomach. What stops us from doing this? The fact that we're not assholes, that's what.

Violation of this rule will result in the immediate deactivation of your account.

3. Don't bother people.

Do not send message after message to somebody in an effort to annoy them. Do not send messages like "Give me 10,000 Meat or I will come to your house and beat you up." Do not send messages with no other content than "ur gay."
Violation of this rule will result in your being prohibited from using the chat and the message system for a while. Or maybe forever.

4. Don't abuse multis.

This is a tricky one. It's not against the rules to have more than one character per household, or per computer, or even per person. What is against the rules, however, is to have a bunch of extra characters that act as item or Meat farmers for your main character.
It's also against the rules to have a bunch of extra characters that form a clan, for the purposes of getting discounted beer, foties, and stat boosters.

Here's a yardstick: If your main character is advancing at a rate faster than would be possible without multis, then you're more than likely in violation of this rule.

If you're abusing multis, and your behavior is noticed, all accounts other than what appears to be your primary will be disabled. If you make a bunch more multis and start doing it again, your primary will be disabled.

It is especially against the rules, and makes me really angry, if you keep creating new accounts, using their initial 80 adventures, sending all of the stuff to your primary and then deleting the account. This action will result in the IMMEDIATE deactivation of all of your accounts, and potentially in your IP being banned. DO NOT DO THIS.

5. Don't make a character with an obviously derivative name.
Making a character with a name designed to mimic another player's name (especially a moderator or well-known player) is clearly multi abuse, and will result in that account being disabled. Examples: jLck, Mr_Skullhead2, that kind of thing.

Now these are good rules.

Holy shit this is like crack. I just cant get enough of WN. and the game.

Awesome!

yeah i love white ninja, he rocks

Bumped for anyone who needs a laugh as much as I have today.

I heartily concur that KoL is way fucking rad.

I was just about to come in here and be all snotty like, "dude, I totally made a post about kingdom of loathing like 3346528307652 years ago"

but it was my thread.

I'll leave now.

KoL is awesome. Imagine Zork with stick figures and a Douglas Adams sense of humor.

I am so happy that there are other people who actually play this game. Fantastic. Anyone listening to Jick and Skullhead right now?

I love goofy geek games.

Oh yes. KoL is teh best.

Steve the Mediocre, Disco Bandit at your service.

So is the "The suicide girls" clan an actually an SG clan?

I need to get to level 3 so I can join a damn clan.

I haven't played in forever. I think my level 23 character is probably lapsed. I was Nicole Andopolis.
