Ruleset
1. Community & Discord
1. Be Mature.
If Edgelording / Shitposting is your jam, we are probably not the server for you.
2. No Offensive Names/Photos.
3. Be Respectful To Others.
No Bullying, Discrimination, Harassment or other disrespectful activity will be tolerated.
4. Don't Dominate The Channels.
5. Topics should be contained to correct channels.
6. No Unnecessary Pings.
7. No Deliberately Creating Drama.
8. Extensive complaining about server features is not tolerated.
Constructive criticism of our server is welcome, but pejoratives / extensive complaining about systems that you do not like is not. If you have a suggestion on how we can improve, create a thread in the suggestions channel.
9. Ask for permission before advertising anything.
2. Admins, Moderators, Punishments and Rules
1. Respect the Staff and obey their requests.
2. No accusations of rule breaking or discussing player reports in public channels.
Accusations of player rule breaches or admins abusing their power should be made exclusively in a player report ticket.
3. Arguing a punishment will result in an extension of that punishment.
4. Do not exploit 'loopholes' in the rules.
If you are judged to be intentionally circumventing the obvious intention of a rule, you will likely receive a punishment. Play it safe, and ask an admin if unsure (and receive an amnesty).
3. Roleplay
1. RP is performing actions through your character.
'DMing' any scenario or plot that affects factions other than your own is not permitted.
2. Character origins should be believable.
No, you aren’t a 300,000,000,000,000 year old demi-god who may have created the universe.
3. Value your character’s life.
Taking an RP action that is likely to result in the death of your character should not be pursued lightly.
4. Roleplay is about telling stories rather than winning.
Losing a fight or a political confrontation is part of good RP. Be prepared to lose, and to concede defeat when there is no reasonable RP way to continue pushing for victory.
5. Mind other's RP Boundaries.
Certain RP topics may go a step too far. Please make considerations around who you are playing with. Above all, be mindful that some players are minors. If something makes someone uncomfortable please stop and break RP.
6. No Meta Gaming.
Meta is using information that was gathered from non-RP sources.
7. No Power Gaming.
A player who unilaterally describes his character as doing something with, (or to) another character that would usually require the other to play along is considered to be powergaming.
8. Roleplay over Ruleplay.
If you are in a scenario which requires you to act immediately to further the RP or to react realistically, you are allowed to bend the combat rules. Abuse of this will result in punishments. If unclear contact an admin.
Roleplay over Ruleplay Example: If you encounter a faction or player in their territory and they ask you to identify yourself and stop for inspection, they are free to fire upon you should you attempt to escape.
9. Community Projects.
A community project is a base or similar that serves some strong RP purpose with importance to more than one faction. A proposed project can be designated as a Community Project by talking to an admin. Community projects may be eligible for an admin safe zone.
Examples of community projects:
A memorial to a large server battle.
10. No recruiting Non-RP players to win a war.
Players joining the server for the sole purpose of winning a confrontation are likely to be removed. The GURP player that invited them may also be removed from the server.
