The server is the main place where we as players can role play with our characters and interact with the characters of other players. The staff asks you to follow these rules and regulations to ensure that the server has some productive role play. These rules and regulations are enforced by the staff.

--- Quote ---Metagaming & Powergaming

6.3 Metagaming is a term that describes a player's use of real-life knowledge concerning the state of the game to determine their character's actions when said character has no relevant knowledge or awareness under the circumstances. Metagaming is an example of "breaking character", as the character is making decisions based on information they couldn't know and thus would not make in reality. It is not allowed.

Simplified - The use of OOC knowledge to decide your next move ICly.

6.4 Shouting IC information in local OOC chat is considered metagaming. Taking advantage of this as a player Is punishable.

6.5 Making use of Steam, Discord, TeamSpeak, or any other medium for communication to get knowledge about characters and using that information IC is considered metagaming.

6.6 Under no circumstances are your alt characters allowed to have knowledge about your previous characters. Any disputes you had on previous characters must be put aside and in no way may you find revenge on said person.

6.7 Powergaming is a particular way of playing in which the player tries to have his will/way to win, often when the player can not win IC wise with their character, they'll try OOC'ly with extending the powers of said character beyond what's realistically possible in terms of role-playing.

6.8 Abusing the local chat system to gain IC information that your character would not hear is considered metagaming and power gaming. Shouts can be heard through a door, talking is inaudible.

6.9 Failing to value life above death for your character is also seen as power gaming in most situations.

7.0 Failing to role play wounds is considered Powergaming. Wounds should be roleplayed accordingly.

7.1 Jumping from heights that would be considered dangerous in real life have to be roleplayed accordingly (Emoted and /roll 100 for wounds, Below 50 you'll have to walk for 15 minutes). To an extent, staff may intervene and enforce wounds on the said person if the jump is too severe. Example: A stone tower/wall, Or a mountain cliff.

7.2 You are expected to partake in roleplay in scenes in which you are involved, logging off to avoid roleplay or ignoring roleplay around you is considered power gaming.

7.5 Cliff-glitching, which is walking up to cliffs when one isn't able to do so in reality, is not allowed.

7.6 Glitching through doors or walls Is not allowed, not even if you have IC reason to be inside.

--- End quote ---

--- Quote ---About Combat

7.7 Randomly attacking anyone, for whatever reason, is strongly forbidden. Fights always need proper IC reasoning. OOC fighting is not allowed and staff has the right to enforce wounds.

7.8 Players are not allowed to take any weapons from their inventory if they are caught completely defenseless by possible aggressors. What is possible aggression? This includes every kind of hostile situation where you are either halted, robbed, ambushed, questioned, tense scenes, etc.

7.9 If told to stop OOC fighting, consider that a warning. The staff dealing with the case may choose to ban without warning at their discretion.

8.0 Sparring IC is allowed on training grounds, wooden swords have to be used. If you 'spar' without wooden weapons, wounds may be enforced by staff members.

8.1 For combat to happen, the initiator must give OOC knowledge of their intent towards those involved in the scene, this is done by typing in the OOC chat Combat warning, you must then wait until one of the conditions are met before a fight can begin:
     The target of the combat warning moves.
     The initiator waits ten seconds.
Combat may persist until all fighters have finished, new fighters arriving don't have to issue another warning. Once the OOC combat warning is delivered the initiator has 1 minute from the point of the message to meet one of the conditions before the combat warning is no longer valid and another one will have to be made.

8.2 If you emote an attack, then you also have to roll for its outcome. Any conflicts must be rolled for unless the other party is wounded.

8.3 When defending a teleport door it is not allowed to kill-box and a reasonable distance must be kept. Half the enemy force has to enter before an attack can be made.

8.4 A shield, which has been broken IC, will not be respawned under any circumstance - whether it was broken during a training match, or real combat bears no significance. Unless granted permission from the staff.

8.5 Rolls may be used to decide who wins in physical conflict. It is opt-in, however, the rules regarding power gaming still apply. You might be able to fight off two attackers, certainly not three, for example. Your character, generally speaking, is just as strong as everyone else. Do not roleplay a giant Viking and expect other people to respect that.

--- Quote ---Looting & Banditry

8.6 Looting someone requires the subject of the looting to be wounded, the only thing able to be looted from players is a set amount of coins displayed by using the /roll 100 command, the result of the roll is the number of coins looted. The subject must empty their pouch if they do not have the full value. Once someone has been looted they are not allowed to be looted by any player for 24 hours. The only exception for this is if a faction is retrieving faction equipment from someone who is currently not supposed to have it IC, examples include if they are a deserter, a thief, or have been fired.

8.7 The looting of chests and character items is disallowed.

8.8 When a character is caught red-handed robbing someone, he can be maimed or CK'ed without needing a CK ticket or staff enforcement. When he manages to get away and is caught later, a CK ticket or staff enforcement is needed to CK this character.

8.9 After the robbery you are not allowed to log off for 20 minutes. If in these 20 minutes people find you, you are not allowed to log off until you can escape and be able to hide again, The timer resets. Therefore don't start a robbery when you know you might run out of time.

9.0 If a person drops an item meant for someone else, you are not allowed to steal it off the ground.

--- Quote ---Character Kills & Maiming

9.4 Character Kills are only permitted if the subject of the kill gives OOC permission to follow through with it, once a character kill is done the subject of the character kill must use the command /wipeall and not log back in on that character, this character is considered in-character dead. In order to force a character to kill another player, a ticket must be approved by the staff team. In appropriate circumstances Admins and above can approve a CK to happen in real-time, such circumstances can be overturned if the CKed player appeals the decision and senior staff review it as unwarranted.

9.5 Scenes involving excessive gore, maiming, or torture require OOC consent from all parties involved, if no OOC consent is given it should be done via fade to black.

9.6 Maiming another character, examples include removing sight, ability to speak, removal of limbs and other irrecoverable injuries require OOC consent from all parties involved, Admins and above can be called to a scene to enforce such.
