Rape

[Akira]

aight i have a very valid question that im genuinely curious about, as far as im aware ERP isn’t allowed on Diverge and is one of the most heavily disliked forms of RP However there is a Rape charge listed in the Penal Codes, how does that work exactly? What is the fine line that distinguishes the two?

i belive if you get charged with rape its a insta ban

I mean you could see the difference as ERP being 2 parties engaging, where rape is one person having unconsensual intercourse with another.

so ERP = 2 willing participants; Rape = 1 non-willing participant

There are a few charges that don't typically have massive gameplay implication and are seldom used. State terrorism, resisting an INS offical etc. It's on there because whoever created the penal code added it. A criminal code would have such a crime and as an exercise in world building, it makes sense. It also being a roleplay server, there may be a reason in a story or event for police to do such a charge without any ERP actually occurring.

To state the obvious, no you cannot ERP on this server, there is no special circumstances where it would be permitted. Doing a cringe /me to try to get this charge is likely to get you in trouble with staff and would be fail-rp/powergame ( making it invalid ) .

it was a valid question sir why u reacted dumb to my question

Because a small percentage of people are now going to see this thread and the 'funni' charge and see it as a challenge. Which I also suspect you knew when you posted it.

Not at all, i actually asked my supervisor at the NYPD the exact same question today and even he couldn't give me an answer. I genuinely asked because I was curious and it actually made me wonder, like how can someone receive a Rape charge when ERP is not allowed? I had no other intention behind asking so if i bothered you with it my apologies, also thanks for your answer & explanation
