Firewalling is usually done via the OOC/IC mechanism. How one defines
IC and OOC varies from mud to mud (or perhaps mud to mush).
In "On the Proper Care and Feeding of Mushes", Larry Homer defines OOC
as follows:
"Out Of Character. Refers to anything that you know, that your character
wouldn't know; or anything you say that your character didn't say IC."

Well there are variations on this. Mostly it depends on whether the
character is used for a scenario or campaign. The murder mystery party
or the one-shot scenario is a good example of where consent plays a much
smaller role. Generally though, main characters on RP muds are
considered to be long term personal investments and consent is very
important. On the other hand, even long term campaigns and stories will
require a host of "victim" characters, which is why I think allowing
multiplaying is important. Victim characters are really the RP
equivalent to characters flagged as PK on many HnS games. Still,
flagging yourself as a victim is equivalent to consenting to non-
consential play. There is also the area of implied consent. Rules will
vary on this, but basically if a player's character is committed to and
insistss on performing an IC action which simply MUST result in a highly
adverse IC reaction, then they will be subject to those reactions.
As Jim Croce sang, "You don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't spit into
the wind. You don't pull the mask off the Lone Ranger and you don't mess
around with black Aes Sedai" .. or something like that ;)
