What kinds of restrictions and policies do you think storytellers should abide by? What problems do you see arising with them that we should make a robust policy to handle?

Right now, our plan is to limit storytellers as follows - please comment!

Code: Select all

- STs may not give special benefit to their own characters through the
  scenes they storytell. Please use STing as an opportunity to facilitate
  others having fun rather than self-agranding. Eg, using ST to further 
  individual PC goals is a conflict of interest and prohibited (eg, an
  ST with a plot to overthrow the Queen on their alt must not run a scene
  about a mob revolting in Church Square against the Crown).
- STs outlines all objects and mobs they want/need loaded for the 
  quest
- STs have total control of scenes they storytell with the following 
  restrictions:
      - All PC death, maiming or permanent loss must be consensual 
        with the PC in question approving.
      - PCs refused entrance to a ST scene are entitled to know why. STs 
        must supply a reasonable, RP-related reason on rejection.
      - PCs may leave a scene at any time if they are not enjoying 
        themselves. 
      - Storytellers may not give out long term rewards such as 
        equipment or stat bonuses directly. These things must be 
        pre-approved by staff as a reward for their quest/story, and 
        their dispersal must not be knowingly biased.
      - STs may not implicate other PCs or organizations without the
        approval of those PCs and said organizations (place approvals 
        in the POLCA.) GLs may provide approval on behalf of their
        guilds, PCs must approve their own personae being used.
