2026 Rules Update

RHM 2026 RULES UPDATE

Hello Radiant Heart MUSH! This is your Director speaking on behalf of Staff.

In order to resolve several past and potential future issues, Staff has chosen to make some changes to the current situation in regards to Character Sheets, Powers/Upgrades, and Activity Logs/Activity Checks.

To sum it all up - we're moving the official location of approved character's +sheet to the wiki, and all upgrades/changes to your character will need to be on the wikisheet. Additionally, we'll now be using the list of logs on the wiki to check activity.

Activity Checks

Activity checks will be moved to using completed scenes on the wiki - scenes that aren't properly converted to the wiki WILL NOT COUNT towards activity when we do checks.

Reminder on getting scenes to appear on the wiki: From the Active Scenes page, pick the scene, open it, then scroll down to the bottom where a button will allow you to submit the log to the wiki with all information it can pull pre-filled.

If the scene has been properly named and desc'd all information should be filled, if not, you can add it on that page. If there are issues with a scene being moved to the wiki, please raise an issue in the game or Discord for Staff to investigate.

• As a reminder: Canon Characters must be active at least once a month but are expected to help facilitate/participate in RP within the game (Both in and out of their origin/series members) on a regular basis. Inactive canon characters will be given 1 warning, and then you will lose the bit, as it is unapproved and made available for new applicants. Non-canon characters will be dropped from cast lists/visible character lists if inactive for two months.

While we've been quite lenient on character activity lately (due to life + trouble we've had tracking them in the current system) expect this to end now. If you know you haven't been active on a CC bit, please consider if you truly will be able to become active, or if you should drop the character. It's always smoother for everyone when a player is able to come to this realization on their own than for us to have to take the bit away.

Powers Update

ALL POWERS AND ABILITIES YOU USE IN SCENES MUST BE ON YOUR SHEET OR IN YOUR ORIGIN'S "Origin Default Powers" list. "It happened in canon" is an explanation which is suitable for an power addition/upgrade job, but not for using a power which doesn't follow these guidlines. Note that the specific guidelines for what needs to be on your sheet are spelled out here (NEW)

• https://radiantheartmush.com/Powers

IF YOU HAVE APPROVED POWERS THAT ARE NOT ON YOUR CURRENT SHEET: Please add them to your wikisheet AFTER creating it, so you can attach the job where the powers were approved to the edit log.

IF YOU HAVE POWERS YOU USE THAT ARE NOT APPROVED: You should open a job to get them approved before adding them to your sheet, and not use them until they are approved.

The Wikisheet

Approved characters will be expected to create a wiki page (if they haven't already), and on the character pages on wiki there is now a link at the top for the Character Sheet.

Updating Existing Characters

This applies to characters approved before Jan 1 2026.

Focus, Style, and Powers

Having your Focus, Style, And Powers listed is a hard requirement; characters who do not have an approved wikisheet with these sections listed will be unapproved on Feb 1, 2026 until this requirement is met.

Background and Personality

For existing characters, while we heavily encourage people to put their whole sheet including background and personality onto the wiki, we understand that much time may have passed since the characters were apped, and that there was not an expectation of the sheet being publicly viewable at the time. For these sections, you may either clean up/rewrite those two sections - to convey the same information better, NOT make adjustments to the character - or you may leave them off.

For Future Characters

For characters created after Jan 1, 2026, we expect to see the entire +sheet on the wikisheet.

Using The Wikisheet

A new command on the MUSH, +wikify/sheet, will output your current +sheet in a format suitable for direct copy and paste. This will export all of the fields on your +Sheet into a format which you can directly copy+paste to the wiki. Once you have done this contact Staff via discord or Staff-Hotline on the MUSH and we will process your wikisheet.

Going forward, when an upgrade pitch/job is approved, you will be required to add the new abilities to your wiki sheet, and quote the job# in the Summary for the edit. Then Staff will mark your wikisheet as approved with a final edit, and you're good to go.
