Editing Larp:House Rules Proposals/Fall 2024 (section)

== World Mechanics ==

=== Breaches of Elysium ===
An Elysium that has been breached will only lose its sanctity if an appropriate sect officer does not levy an appropriate punishment upon a perpetrator within 30 days. Note the use of “a perpetrator” and not “the perpetrator”— if Elysium is breached and the person responsible is unknown, then this rule only requires someone to be punished for it.

=== Distance ===
For the purpose of distance, “one step” is equal to one meter (1 unit of distance in VRchat.), or one square on the in-game grid.

=== Passage of Time ===
For the purposes of durations of statuses, effects, and deadlines, a "month" consists of two full games and two rounds of downtimes. The game or downtime in which the timer starts is not included unless the timer starts within the first half hour (of game) or the day after game (for downtimes).

=== Leaving the Island ===

* Characters may attempt to leave the island during downtime. Doing so has a high chance (around 90%) of being caught by a PC or NPC Warden. ("Leaving" the island in this context means both leaving and coming back as a single action.)
** Characters who spend a downtime action to prepare and plan their escape to avoid detection can cut their chance of detection in half. Characters who spend 2 downtimes for this are virtually guaranteed to escape detection.
* Characters who are caught may return to the island or resist, which may result in a scene with one or more of the current PC or NPC Wardens.
** Camarilla characters caught leaving the island immediately lose all of their Fleeting status (per the effect of Commander).
