In-Game Laws!

[plungeintofire]

Hi everyone! On the suggestion of some of the players in this game, we'd like to compile any character-made laws into one place so that it's easier for everyone to find. A lot of things are posted on Guardian journals or mentioned in IC posts on the comms, so please: If you are aware of something, reply to this post with a link to it so that we can get everything in one spot!

Genessia runs largely on worldbuilding by players, so it isn't always the mods that make the in-game rules! :) Please help us to just keep track of them. Thank you!

Please reply to this post with the following information to have rules officially noted in Genessia:
<b>One-line summary/subject of rules:</b> Do not give me tl;dr here, just a quickie overarching subject. <b>Applicable City:</b> Pick one (1) <b>Character who instituted laws:</b> Just the name(s) <b>Character's Job at the time:</b> Mayor, Guardian, Deputy, conquerer, whatever else they are that gave them the authority to make official changes. <b>Link to Detailed Post:</b> just the url

And since Taymod knows she has at least one, here's the Nova City Bounty Rules as a sample, to help you get started!

Hello! In the future, we recommend checking with moderators before making a post about law changes. The Colosseum is not a government-run operation and therefore is not under the purview of any part of the city's government, including the Guardian's office with the exception of if they are involved in illegal activities. (They are not.) Dante nor any member of the Guardian's office has oversight over the Colosseum, nor the ability to legalize gambling as it has nothing to do with protecting the people. That falls under the mayor's job description. If anything, as would have been pointed out by citizens in a town hall meeting had the moderators been asked before you posted, the NPC citizens would've objected to the legalization of addictive and degenerate behavior that would negatively reflect on the small, peaceful town image that Attleton would like to project and cause further degenerate behavior by causing an increase in gambling debts and therefore an increase in crime to pay them.
