Rules

RULE 1: LISTEN TO THE ADMINS

• If you are not certain, ask in adminhelp. We are here to assist you. Doing this will prevent 99% of all bans.

• If no admins are online, use your common sense. To make a complaint against a player when there are no admins, use player complaints on the forum for later investigation.

• If there is someone that is excessively assaulting other players while no admins are online, you are allowed to protect yourself and others from them in lethal means. However, keep in mind you may be subject to review of your actions. This is not a golden pass to murder someone you find annoying.

• If an admin says something, for that time being, it is law. No matter what an admin said at any other time or rule stating otherwise. If you want to lawyer it, take it to the admin complaint forum where your argument may be reviewed.

• The admin has full right to decide the harshness of your ban, dictated by past record or their own prerogative. If you suspect this is abused, create an admin complaint for review.

• Excessive disrespect towards admins and staff can lead to a ban.

Admins are fully expected to adhere to rules 2 and 3. Violations are to be posted on the admin complaint forum. Keep in mind just because something is posted there, it is not grounds for dismissal, but merely grounds for behavior correction.

RULE 2: ROLEPLAY EXPECTATION

• For all factions DO NOT RUSH to remove another faction spawn point with in first 10 minutes of the round.

• During First Contact all humans have zero knowledge of the Covenant or Spartan/Orions

• NPC Colonist/trader and or ships are to be treated as if they are another player.

• We expect a level of roleplay where you are not talking in internet speak of any kind. Smilies and leet are specifically banned. Phrases like ‘wtf’ and ‘omg’ may not be outwardly punished but keep in mind we want you to move on from it.

• No erotic roleplay. This also includes stalking, sexual harassment or making people feel sexually uncomfortable.

• Realistic names to the setting. Famous names and immature names are not allowed. Same for theming your personality around such. (note: Names with no last name is fine "Butch" or "Dr. John Adams is fine too)

• No psychotic behavior. If your actions or roleplayed mental behavior go so far as to inflict murder or excessive violent behavior, expect to be met with a ban.

• Using information from OOC or from an outside source other then IC, is not allowed. For example, using information seen from a person’s stream.

• You are allowed to handle SSD. Taking ID’s and other important items are often helpful and at times mandatory.

• No self-antagging. You value your job, your faction and your coworkers lives. Even in the event those three things no longer apply, you are not to be found firing alongside the insurrectionists or grunts. Vice versa.

• You do not have the skills of every job. You are only expected to have the skills of your current job.

RULE 3: BEHAVIOR EXPECTATION

• No racism. This includes shouting “ALLAHU AKBAR” before explosions. Discriminating people based off gender/race/religion is not tolerable.

• No talking about other servers negatively in OOC.

• Using mechanics such as atmospherics or the chemical system to disrupt the round, may be met with a ban. Remember to contact adminhelp in such situations where you want to use these tools in such a way.

• Nothing NSFW in OOC.

• If there is evidence of you outwardly greifing other servers, we may decide to remove you from our own for your behavior.

• No harassment of other players. If you have an issue you can take it to the player complaints forum. If you have nothing really to show there, then you likely have nothing of value to spout in OOC about them.

• English is the only allowed language. We have IC languages for your secret whisper parties, use those.

• No collaboration of activities such as skype or teamspeak to give yourself an edge in the game. This is more easily noticeable than you suspect.

RULE 4: BAN EVASION

• Ban Evasion by the use of TOR, or a program with the same endgoal, will be punished by a permanent ban.

• Ban Evasion by the use of alt-ckeys to bypass a ban is forbidden and will earn you a permanent ban.

• Using another users account to access whitelisted features is forbidden and will land you severe ban.

• If you and another person are playing this server and have the same IP ahelp letting staff know before hand.
