4.14.5 Anonymous RP

The Undercity of Djeir maintains a strict social structure, hierarchical and governed by castes. Social norms and etiquette forbid certain associations. In response, an underground movement started that quickly bloomed into an unspoken aspect of Djeiran society: completely anonymous conversations, held in utterly private rooms, free from scrutiny. What once started as a simple way for people to have conversations free from social scrutiny has evolved into a myriad of reasons: interacting with those one would not normally, conversations free from expectations, the ability to don any persona and backstory one wishes, and many others.

Pendants that will enable you to partake in the Undercity's favourite underground hobby can be purchased from Staverri at v12591.

NOTES
----------
- While anonymous, all interactions are In Character (IC) and it is still your character present, just in a disguise. You should not be doing anything that your character could not do (whether they should be doing it is irrelevant and one of the liberating aspects of this system!).

- You are not allowed to claim to be another character. This includes any of your alts. You can remain anonymous or reveal your true identity, but you cannot directly or indirectly claim to be someone else. This will be actively policed.
  * While this rule does shut off some avenues of intrigue, we feel that there is too much potential for grief.

- Entry into the conversation will have a delay after a match is found (you can also cancel during this time). This will give you time to retreat to somewhere private if desired so people don't see you entering the system.

- If you have a costume in your inventory, you will take on the form of an anonymous partner wearing that costume. If you have multiple costumes in your inventory, it will recognize the first one. Recognized costumes include the Tailoring items as well as the Halloween ones. If you do not have a 
costume, you will simply don an obscuring cloak.

- Only custom emotes will work in the session - premotes are disabled. Do not use targeted emotes as they will not show up properly; for example, just use emote pets you instead of trying to target your partner with a @ or $ token. Similarly, don't use @ tokens on things in your inventory.

- You can give gold and items to your partner.

- You will not be able to match with people you have ignored or who have you ignored.

- After leaving a session, you will not match with the same person again for at least 30 minutes.
