Rules

Two sets. The server rules apply everywhere, all the time. The roleplay rules are added on top for the war.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IF THE PERSON IS A NORMAL MEMBER

2 WARNINGS LEAD TO A 1 HOUR MUTE

3 WARNINGS LEAD TO A 12 HOUR MUTE

4 WARNINGS LEAD TO A KICK + LEVEL RESET

5 WARNINGS LEAD TO A 1 DAY BAN + LEVEL RESET

6 WARNINGS LEAD TO A PERMANENT BAN

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

IF THE PERSON IS A VIP

2 VERBAL WARNINGS WITHIN 90 DAYS LEAD THE PERSON TO LOSE THEIR VIP ROLE

Archon keeps the count. Mutes happen on their own; a kick or a ban waits for staff to confirm it. VIP is given and taken only by the owner, through Archon.

You can't be warned if you are a VIP so you just get warned verbally.

If you broke a rule that leads to a warning and a 30 minute timeout but you got 3 warnings, you don't get the 30 minute timeout and instead you get a 12 hour timeout.

Warnings and what they lead to

Moderators warn with Archon, and every warning, timeout, kick and ban gets a case number that you are told in a DM. Warnings add up:

Warnings	What happens
1	Just the warning.
2	A 1 hour timeout, straight away.
3	A 12 hour timeout, straight away.
4	A kick, and your level goes back to 0. A staff member confirms it first.
5	A 1 day ban, and your level goes back to 0. An admin confirms it first.
6	A permanent ban. An admin confirms it first.

VIPs get a strike instead of a warning. Two strikes within 90 days end VIP.

Roleplay rules

Roleplay happens in your side's hall, on your nets, in the threads of the places you stand in and in scenes. Out-of-character talk goes in #👀battle-watch or in (( double brackets )).
You decide what your character does, never what happens to someone else's. Fights between players go through a Siege, a duel or a skirmish.
Your character only knows what they saw or were told in roleplay.
Strong is fine; unbeatable is not. No instant kills, no invincibility, no controlling another person's character.
A character only dies with its owner's consent.
One person, one account, one faction a season.
Fights and threats are fine. Gore, romance, sexual content and real-world hate are not.
Merit and supply come from playing. Spam, scripts and copy-paste are voided and cost your faction.
Found a bug? Tell a Warden. Using it gets you taken out of the war.
What Archon counts stands. Wardens can void abuse and fix bugs; they never change an honest result.
Hate the other factions in character as much as you like. Harassing a person out of character breaks the server rules.
Screenshots of another faction's private channels count as leaks.

When someone breaks them

Step	Used for	What happens
Note	A first, small slip, like knowing too much or a move that is too strong.	A Warden explains out of character. Only the Warden log keeps it.
Retcon	Godmodding, a forced injury, a scene that broke the rules.	The post or action is undone, and any merit, supply or glory from it is taken away.
Strike	Repeats, farming, leaks.	Recorded. Three strikes in a season lead to a suspension.
Suspension	Three strikes, or something serious.	The RP Blacklist role for 3, 7 or 14 days: no roleplay, no field and no Sieges.
Removal	A second account, bug abuse, harassment through roleplay.	Out of the war for the season or for good, and the faction loses what it gained.

The Wardens act from /war, and everything they do is on the Wardens' log, in the open. If an act touched you and you think it was wrong, press Appeal in /war, under Settings. The Admins read it.

Nothing in the war is age-restricted. That also means no dating, romance or erotic roleplay, no real extremist symbols, and all roleplay stays in the server's channels, never in DMs.
