Server Rules
General Etiquette:
- This server is medium/high-roleplay server, good communication
skills are necessary!
- Speak proper lingo for the current epoch of your team/the server
(Don’t be using net speak in any era other than modern, no caveman
or gladiator ran around saying LOL.)
- It is against the rules to speak about Out-Of-Character topics
Inside-Character and viceversa on purpose.
- Do not abuse mentorhelp/adminhelp, use mentorhelp for questions
regarding gameplay and adminhelp for questions regarding bugs/rules.
If there are no admins online, ping admins or mentors in the Discord
server for help.
- Once a round ends (The restart/epoch vote goes through), you may go
around killing and griefing as you please.
- You must not be toxic or too agitated in OOC or Dead-chat. As much
as it sucks losing your character, it is part of the game.
- This server’s primary language is English, please use English when
communicating in game.
- Ban evading is strictly prohibited.
- When able to be applied, discord rules also are carried into the
game, such as keeping things to the right channels, no spam, etc.
- Every user must have common sense to identify and apply the rules
to their behavior correctly so as to avoid breaking the rules and to
discern wrong-doers from players who follow the rules.
Prohibited Behaviors:
- Erotic Roleplay (also known as ERP, it’s gross).
- Griefing (Destroying, hurting, stealing, etc. without
escalation/valid purpose.)
- Metagaming (Using external chats/knowledge to aid yourself in-game.)
- Exploiting Glitches (EX: Using a duplication glitch instead of
reporting it. Clipping through walls, etc.)
- Hacking (You really shouldn’t waste time trying to hack a really bad
game engine.)
- Obscene Names (Pick something RP friendly, and avoid copying other
players names too.)
- Spamming any form of chat (This includes OOC and LOOC)
- Adminhelping/Mentorhelping sentence fragments. (Explain your
situation throughoully, not just “Help”)
- Being “Toxic” (You have a right to be angry, just don’t take it out
on others.)
- Bypassing language barriers (Such as using LOOC, or typing on paper.
You should use emote verbs and you can do “drawings” on paper (EX:
writing A drawing of two stick figures crossing spears))
- Killing yourself to play a different culture/race, if you don’t
wanna play that race you can kill yourself and stay dead the rest of
the round, otherwise play with what you’re given. In TDM, if you
chose a wrong role, ahelp first so you’re not wasting a role.
Civilization/RP Server:
Additional Rules:
- Do not murder or harm SSD/Disconnected characters, or purposefully
put them into danger.
- You can steal from anyone, anywhere, but being caught stealing makes
you able to be killed.
- You may not name yourself after real figures, or name your faction
after a real faction (Can’t name yourself hitler, and you may not
name your faction something like “The 3rd Reich”, be original.
Mis-spelled and tongue-in-cheek names also counts, such as “Ayedulf
Hutler”.)
- Actions in game are to be validated by a logic reason, for example;
A war/conflict must be legitimized by the attackers either lacking
enough of “X”/desiring more of “X” due to religious, economic or
personal (the ones your character developped through no necessary
control of your own.) reasons. Another example is the mandatory
improvement to one’s character/family/home/neighbourhood/faction (in
that order (unless there is a reason which comes from an IC
action/event, not yours.) which we are driven to when we are
prosperous.
- Death and Injuries should be treated seriously (If you are diced up,
surrender and don’t act like some macho-super-warrior (unless it
fits you icly). You shouldn’t treat death as something to shrug
off.)
- IN CASE OF PERSISTENCE: You may not break into a offline players
base/home, this goes for faction bases as well. You may however pick
up loose items on the ground, or enter unlocked or opened areas.
Escalation:
Because server is MRP/HRP, this means you must “escalate” conflicts.
Escalation is the act of using RP to build up tensions.
Usable of emote verbs and the “me” verb are strongly encouraged for
escalating when you cannot communicate verbally.
For example, if you want to rob someone, escalation should look
something like this:
Good Escalation:
Person 1: “You there! I like your backpack! You should hand it over!”
Person 2: “What? No! This is my backpack, go get your own!”
Person 1: “I said give me that backpack! Do it or else you’re going to
get hurt!”
Person 1 draws out a weapon!
Person 2: “Was that a threat? I will never yield to you!”
Person 2 draws out a weapon!
Person 1: “So be it! That backpack is mine!”
Combat Begins
Bad Escalation:
Person 1: “Give me your backpack!”
Person 2: “No!”
Combat Begins
If someone is ignoring your attempts to escalate, or makes it so you
can’t talk to them to escalate (For example, they walk away
mid-conversation and keep walking when you try talking.) then they may
be attacked.
Language Barrier
If you don’t share a mutual language, you still need to properly
escalate and convey your intent. Rather than screaming and tryng to push
them down and punch them like a monkey with no brain, try using *me and
describing things. Like if you wanted someone to leave, “Points to
(person you want to leave) and points away from the settlement with an
angry expression and hand by his sword”. Theres better ways to
communicate than trying to be a monkey bashing his fists against his
chest and flinging shit at people.
War:
Wars are very special things, and should not be handled lightly.
Wars should be escalation on a large scale, one small skirmish with a
few people between two factions does not count as war.
Only a member of the faction with a leading role may declare war.
A faction when wanting to start a war needs to have a significant reason
to. When in any doubt, the faction leader should contact an admin
beforehand.
Wars should always have advance warning for the defending side like any
escalation, and all wars must have a chance for the other side to back
down (EX: “We want your oil wells! Allow us to take this town and
leave, or else you must die!”)
Non-Nomads Maps:
On non-nomads maps, you must play the role you join as (For example, if
you join as a blacksmith, you open up a shop.)
When there are multiple teams, this does not mean you are enemies,
however some maps do have two rival factions, which is generally stated.
(EX: Colonists do not attack natives randomly.)
When teams do have a dispute, people with combat roles should be
fighting, not civilians or shopkeepers.
GULAG Rules
- No rioting until after 30 minutes and you’ve made a plan. Not 1 guy
ungas a guard and 20 join in. Those 20 should already be apart of
the plan and know it’s going to happen.
- Guards can’t kill prisoners without good reason and should
always try to keep them alive, a dead prisoner can’t work.
- Guards shouldn’t have any riot gear before 30 minutes, and after
only when they’ve been given a reason.
- Prisoners should always escape with a well thought plan, not wing
it.
- Prisoners can kill eachother with escalation and IC reason, a guard
just needs IC reason.
- Guards can’t shoot first rather than baton them, they need to try
and apprehend them (void in the case of riots)
- Prisoners are against eachother mostly based on faction, but in the
end you’re all comrades in gulag.
- Prisoners are to do their job, if it’s not open such as the mine,
don’t break in, wait till a guard opens it etc. Play cards or
something while you wait.
- Guards can beat and apprehend anyone who crossed the borderline. The
snipers can shoot, but should aim to wound, not kill.
- You must value your life, admins will often be disabling respawn to
make it so. Act like you actually would to your wounds and
situation. Don’t lose and arm and state “Tis but a scratch!”
TDM Server:
Additional Rules:
- No teamkilling (If someone is disobeying a higher-ups orders, they
may be executed by the officer or arrested).
- Wearing an enemy uniform is allowed, but you can be teamkilled for
it.
- You may commit warcrimes (Killing medics or people who have
surrendered, however if someone is trying to capture a surrendered
individual, or do some RP with a medic/prisoner, don’t attack them.)
- No stealing from your teammates (Don’t take your friends boots, or
break into your commanders office just to get something.)
- Don’t waste your teams resources, or do things to inconvenience them
purposefully (This is
- counted as griefing).
- Even though there’s less “RP” in TDM, stick to character (Running
around naked is not something a soldier would do.)
- Spawncamping is prohibited, unless the map has the goal to capture
the enemy HQ where the enemy spawn.
RP Standards

your role would. Don’t say things they wouldn’t say, do things they
wouldn’t do, etc. Appearance and gender are also taken into account.
