Citizen's Handbook - General Rules

Disclaimer

While this book will contain many specific rules, guidelines and such, keep in mind that in any case, an administrator or a moderator may ignore this rulebook to ensure that all cases are covered. A rulebook cannot contain all problems, and there was an entire field of expertise (law) created in real life to make sure it does to the best extent, and we do not have those resources.

Be reasonable, use common sense, and play the server as it's intended; with politics, economy and semi-strict roleplay. We aren’t holding you to strict roleplay, but ensuring that you aren’t ruining players' experiences is your responsibility.

Many rules will include examples or the common names for the offences in which the rule describes. That is the part to tell you the basics of what is banned and what is not. They aren’t the actual rule.

Thank you, and have fun.

General Rules

  1. (Hacking, Exploiting, X-Raying) No usage of third-party modifications to the game that give you an unfair advantage over other players in a meaningful way.
  2. (Bug/Glitch Exploiting) No usage of non-intended mechanics and tactics in-game to gain an advantage over other players in a meaningful way.
  3. (Wilderness Grief, Grief) Do not mark, build, break, destroy, etc… the claimed or unclaimed landscape without prior notice to the staff, or permission from the owner if the area is claimed in a manner that will leave a more-than-temporary effect, or if the temporary effect is left behind.
  4. (Stealing) Do not take items from players containers without permission unless you have a Roleplay where the circumstances would be reasonable In Real Life as well. The governmental police cannot guard every residence nor can they investigate theft like in real life, therefore this task falls upon the administrators to prevent the server from becoming uncontrollable.

Toxicity Rules

  1. Toxicity, in any form or shape is not tolerated in this server. We will issue bans to those who are actively harming the members of the community, especially if the people that they’re harming are people who contributed a lot, while the person harming has not contributed.
  2. We will not tolerate racism. The only acceptable racism is within Roleplay, where there is justification, and the roleplay isn’t being used as a device to further actual racist beliefs and agendas.

Political Rules

  1. Doing Non-RP Politics - doing politics without serious commitment / serious roleplay and/or just to dismantle already existing politics temporarily or permanently is not allowed. Doing Non-RP politics can range from creating a non-serious nation to declare independence to using Non-RP tactics to deteriorate the stability of organisations.
  2. Declaring Independence without Reason - declaring an independent country is not illegal, however, you must build up to a political environment which requires an attempt at independence. All attempts at an independence must be verified by the Owner prior to declaration.
  3. Declaring War, Starting Combat, or starting Civil Unrest without Casus Belli - Starting any kind of organisation, movement or event that is violent without a proper reason is not allowed. Exceptions may be made, however, you must get permission from the owner.
