If a player has held a character for at least two months time on the MUSH, they may request to play a second character (an alt). A second character may be a regular PC or a restricted, applied for character such as Alliance, a Noble or a Feature Character.
Alts cannot be taken for opposing factions or orgs for obviously conflicting purposes. Alts can also not be within the same org. Likewise, alts should not be put into a position where they are interacting in scenes together (this includes being in the same room together), assisting one another, sharing information, items or any other circumstances of this nature.
If you find yourself needing to move through a room in which your alt is in in order to get to a different room, you may not stay to RP out moving through the room. Politely state OOCly that you're sorry but you cannot stay and RP and must 'speedwalk' through. If people in that room with to RP with you, they can follow you to the next room or to your destination. Reason for this is because it generally takes several poses to 'walk past' and during that time, both characters would become privy to the same information.
Alts are a privilege granted to players who have already made valuable contributions toward bettering the game in their roleplay, however any breach of the rules can and may result in the admin revoking the alt. The admin reserve he right to change or alter rules at staff discretion.
All Alt characters and their concepts MUST be approved before they are created via the +ALTREQ command (+help +altreq).
Note: As of May 22, 2007 the policy of only 2 characters (1 primary & 1 alt) per player is fully enforced. Any player who exceeds this limit prior to the above mentioned date will be granted an exception up until such time as any character under their control dies or there is a request to regen at which point they will be required to forsake the character if they are still in excess of 2 characters. If an alt exceeding the limit of 2 is inactive for more than 60 days and the player is not on a leave of absence, the admin reserves the right to remove that character from the grid.
