05 — THE CODEX
THE CODEX
The first three rules are public. They create intrigue and desire to access the rest.
Rules IV–X are available to Player level and above. The Codex is a living document — members vote on changes quarterly.
This is not a list of prohibitions. This is a description of you — if you are a Real Player.
I
YOU ARE NOT AN NPC
A person who has become aware of the simulation cannot be an NPC by definition. NPCs don't ask questions about the nature of reality. You do. That means you're a player.
II
PLAY WITH INTENTION
If this is a simulation — you choose how to play your character. Consciously. With purpose. Not by default. Not by the script of your environment.
III
OTHER PLAYERS ARE NOT YOUR ENEMIES
Real players are rare. Don't waste them on competition. A union of players is stronger than any solo character — in any simulation.
IV-X
RESTRICTED ACCESS
Available from PLAYER level · $99/month
