Canon

The Murderverse has no central authority on what is or is not canon. Even the roleplayers admit to just plain not knowing some things about their characters and worlds.

Individual threads do have an authority; the thread GM. However, their authority extends only to that particular thread, and even that only to the extent they choose to exercise said authority -- wingedcatgirl, for example, largely lets Murder-Free run itself, only having The Headmistress or Vivi step in when a character directly asks for their assistance (and sometimes not even then).

As a result of all this, the concept of canon in the Murderverse is rather nebulous.

That said, if you're confused about whether a particular fact is or isn't canon, the following guidelines may help you come to a conclusion:


 * 1) The thread you are currently reading is, obviously, the most canon to itself, followed by
 * 2) Other public Murderverse game threads
 * 3) Murder-Free (which is ostensibly an AU, but most characters spend longer there than in games)
 * 4) Public non-Murderverse threads (such as Our avatars are posting on a forum thread)
 * 5) Private Murderverse threads
 * 6) Private non-Murderverse threads
 * 7) Word of the roleplayer
 * 8) The character's source material, if applicable

In terms of Murderverse Wiki policy, the only overriding hierarchy is that in case of a conflict, Murderverse content overrides non-Murderverse content. Otherwise, all versions of the conflicting information should be listed, with a note as to the sources.
