Rules

The following is a list of rules that players are expected to follow whilst playing on the server or communicating on any server-related platform.

Violating any of these rules will result in a permanent ban.

Ban appeals must be directed to. Keep in mind that, once denied, you must wait 2 months before appealing again.

Rule 1: Don't be a dick
We are all here to have fun and enjoy the game. Being a dick for the purpose of being a dick is not welcome here.
 * Constantly targeting, harassing, or threatening another member of the community is against the rules.
 * This includes excessively negatively impacting another character with little in-character justification.

Rule 2: Use common sense
Think before you speak to avoid making yourself look like an idiot.


 * Being overly disruptive or annoying will get you banned.
 * Cheating, exploiting, hacking, and spamming are not allowed. Report any observed bugs or exploits as soon as possible.
 * 'Toeing the line' or exploiting loopholes when it comes to the server rules is not allowed.
 * This community has a zero-tolerance policy for engaging in or discussing in sexual 18+ content, including erotic roleplay (ERP), in any way.

Rule 3.1: Shoot to Kill
We employ the S2K (Shoot to Kill) system of combat for all situations. This means that players may use the weapons they have available and engage in combat spontaneously.


 * To begin combat, the initiating party must write a /me detailing their actions.
 * This /me will include what you intend to accomplish with a minimum of six words.
 * e.g.
 * Once the /me has been typed, S2K combat may begin between both parties immediately.


 * If both parties are armed, a /me is not required.
 * If the other party attacks you or runs away whilst typing the /me, you may begin S2K combat immediately.
 * If the other party is out of yelling range, a /me is not required.

Rule 3.2: Escalation

 * You may attack any player given that you have reasonable in-character justification.
 * e.g. stealing property, snitching on you, provoking an altercation, constant verbal abuse.
 * Poorly-based reasons with little benefit to roleplay such as killing someone over a casual disagreement or because they insulted you once do not constitute reasonable justification.


 * You may attempt to mug other citizens at any time.
 * To attempt to attack or mug Civil Protection, however, at least 4 units must be flagged on.

Rule 4: Craft a believable and realistic character
Citizens in City are subjected to arduous and inhumane living conditions. Living in this universe is by no means a cake-walk, and your character should reflect that.


 * Character names must be sensible and in proper case.
 * Names taken from pop culture, movies, television, or other media are not allowed.
 * Intentionally generic or comical names are similarly against the rules.
 * Physical descriptions are exactly that, physical, and should only detail attributes immediately visible to the senses such as height, complexion, eye color, etc.
