Server Rules

01

Griefing
Griefing is defined as the act of destroying, modifying, or tampering with what is not yours. This includes theft without a thief character, or without moderation. Placing a sign, leaving items, or carving a non-offensive symbol as a result of roleplay interaction is not considered griefing.

02

Hacks
No hacking or xray mods. Optifine, minimaps, and moreplayermodels are allowed. An example of a banned hack is fly or xray mods, getting caught using hacks will get you permabanned. Don’t do it.

03

Exploiting
Do not exploit the server. If you find an exploit, notify staff immediately. Exploiting the server can get you banned. Do not macro. This falls under exploitation.

04

Always in Character
You must remain in character at all times during roleplay. Stating you are OOC will never be a valid response, and players or staff are free to act as appropriate depending on the situation. Staff are the only individuals who may use OOC for staff purposes, such as observing roleplay or conflicts and moderating. Roleplay with your characters weaknesses, quirks, and traits in mind. Do what your character would do in the situation, not what seems best fit. This creates interesting roleplay for all parties involved and creates a good story for your character. If you need to speak in OOC any time during your RP, surround you text in brackets like, ((this)), using ./ in front of a statement also works. Alternatively, you may discuss in the global chat. You will need to be using a skin that is appropriate to the setting and character at all times, skins that break RP will result in a kick until you have changed your skin.

05

Chat Guidelines

Swearing is allowed in roleplay, but please keep it at a tolerable level. Avoid excessive caps and swearing every other word during RP.
As stated above, surround your text with brackets ((like this)) to designate OOC text.
No derogatory, vulgar, obscene, offensive language, words, or controversial comments may be made in global chat (OOC) This is to keep the chat civil and inclusive of all individuals, including younger players.

06

ERP / "Sexual" Guidelines
The server does not condone nor allow sexual exploitation of minors, either through roleplay or OOC interaction via our server, chat, or forums. Should an individual be suspected of underage sexual interaction with another, the issue will be investigated and appropriate actions are taken. We, however, do not moderate or control chats and interaction outside of our immediate control

Minors are anyone under 18 years of age.

To keep this server a safe and friendly environment, any content which elicits, invites, counsels or incites a young person to engage in sexual activities is prohibited.

All content which advocates for the sexual exploitation of a young person is prohibited.

Subjects such as sexual abuse, rape, incest, and exploitation of minors are prohibited in roleplay, the forums, and to be mentioned in chat. We do not tolerate abuse of this rule. Do not bring these topics onto the server, nor condone them.

Violating this rule will get you a ban. Depending on the severity and nature of the offense, we may be compelled to report you and your information to the appropriate authorities.

07

Meta and Powergaming Outlines
Metagaming and Powergaming are NOT allowed and will result in a warning.
If someone is accused of power gaming and/or metagaming, staff will investigate and act accordingly.

Powergaming Outlines
Powergaming is generally having an overpowered or unrealistic character that can somehow always beat others in anything they do, or on the reversal, never be harmed or lose at what they do. Your character has strengths and weaknesses, you must follow them and act accordingly. Additionally, you may not force another character that is not yours to do something, all actions must be attempted actions.

Example of Incorrect RP
You:*I smash my foes head into the wall, breaking his skull and sending him into a 5-month long coma*
In this example, you are deciding the other characters fate, forcing an action and a result upon them, this is not allowed.

Correct RP
You: *I attempt to smash my foes head into the wall*
Foe:*My head bounces off the wall as I fall to the floor with a concussion*
In this example, the other player decides the response in a way they deem fit and reasonable. If you believe another player is power gaming in a situation similar to this, tell them and see if you can come to a resolution. If not, report the power gaming to a staff member and they will decide accordingly. In instances where powergaming or metagaming are involved, it is at staff discretion whether to void the entire interaction.

(a) If someone is powergaming, politely remind them that actions should be attempted and no character is immune to everything. In a conflict, it is generally acceptable to have a character miss a few punches in a fist fight, but also land a few. A character that always hits the other and never gets hit themselves can be considered powergaming, as they are ignoring what would realistically happen. Remember that setting a good example of roleplay is invaluable for new players and even old. Powergaming causes a lot of drama and OOC conflict, so please avoid it. An accurate and realistic approach is far more interesting.

Metagaming Outlines
Metagaming is defined as using knowledge your character would not have reason to know; such as using OOC knowledge in roleplay to benefit your own character's actions. An example is finding out about the hidden location of a criminal group in an outside chat so that you can find them and get the bounty, all the while your character has heard nothing about this group, much less their crimes.

(a) If someone is metagaming, question them about how the character found out about the topic, if it doesn't make sense or he or she are being generally vague then ask for clarification. If they acknowledge that they are metagaming and are in the wrong, you’ve taught them a valuable lesson and should continue roleplay as if their actions never happened. If they don’t acknowledge it and continue on, politely explain to them in OOC (Out of Character) that what they are doing is against the rules, and if needed, ask for staff intervention.
