Rules

Server Rules

1) Roleplay. This is an RP server, so if you don't RP, you'll stick out like a sore thumb.
2) No Griefing. This includes building random 1x1 towers or random holes in the ground. It just ruins the world that we took time to create. A big difference between griefing and RPing destruction of blocks, is that someone should be around to see that you were RPing it correctly. An example of griefing would be, when no one is online, to smash the glass of a warship. An example of Roleplaying it would be smashing the glass while people are in the airship
3) Be mature. Raging and trolling will get you in trouble. Remember at the end of the day, this isn't a survival server but rather an RP server. Here, the RP is greater than items lost due to death.
4)NLR. When your character dies, unless the "killers" agree to leave your character mortally wounded/wounded, you must make a new character and apply for him. This even includes changing skins, so people around you know you are a new character.
5) No metagaming. Anyone found metagaming will be punished severly. This is organizing deals and events outside the RP to the point of breaking it, or reading someones backstory to know that they are what they are. This also includes, that if someone betrays you and you die, if you warn your faction, that is a SERIOUS offense and can result in severe punishment
6)No powergaming. This is also a severe offense, and using skills that your character isn't able to goes under powergaming and could lead to a hard ban. Don't force people to RP into situations like *shanks you and you die* let them fight back, and the RP cultivate.
7) No hacking or mods that give you an advantage over other places, will result in a ban
8)Use brackets [ ] or parentheses ( ) when speaking in OOC. An example would be if you wanted to ask your killers if you could be mortally wounded rather than killed.
9)Stick to the lore and time period. We are roleplaying a Victorian England Steam punk setting. The world is sort of post apocolyptic due to the floods plus monsters, but the world also is very carefree and trade happy. If you can, speaking in a British accent could help your RP, but Modern English is okay. And do NOT put smiley faces or other things that just don't make sense in chat
10)Signs must pertain to the RP. No "TheCrackerJack's House", rather, name it after your character, or have it make sense
11) Buildings must make sense. Players generally only have control over buildings on strips, but if something just doesn't make sense to the time period, expect it to be destroyed by the administration.
12) Don't be an ass. Try to help others solve problems. We aren't looking for ruthless tyrants OOC, maybe only IC
13) Include a random food item at the end of your app. If it is the same as the one above you, you would be violating this rule. Your app will be declined if a food item is not present.
14)Don't be stupid. Think logically about how the RP would proceed. If you see a stranger walking in your private airship, don't greet him and serve him tea.
15)No picking chests, stealing, griefing, or raiding strips/settlements while owners are inhabitants are offline. Characters can only steal a max of 10 items at a time, either through pickpocketing or picking chests. This means 10 items, so 10 diamonds stacked into 1 item slot means 10 items.
16)If you are trying to break into something, making it RP believable. Punching a glass window will cut your hand up, attempting to gather sand will take a long time, etc. This is the list of breakable items by hand/or items that are part of structures
-Glass (with hands, hand is unusable until repaired, with pick, no damage)
-Wooden Doors (with an axe only, and a strong character)
-Wool (burnable only, DO NOT ABUSE THIS or else you will be violating this rule.)
-Farm goods
-Dirt
-Pads buttons, levers, redstone, glowstone, repeaters
-Pumpkins, mushrooms, flowers
Anything not on the list cannot be destroyed if belonging to someone. You cannot use a tool to break into anything player owned.
20) Don't remove or place any blocks in a faction owned territory without OOC approval
21) Don't ask for items.
22) Adminstration word is law. We won't abuse it, but it is still law
23)No random wars, it must be declared.
24) For a raid (unannounced attack on a settlement), you can raid a settlement with 1/3rd its population. If Pirates raid a strip of 6 people, the pirates can only bring 2 people
25) RP everything out. No random killings, you must make it so that the other party will be aware of the attack through RP. An example is by declaring a raid onto a settlement. All that would be needed in that situation would be like "It's raiding time, boys! Pillage them!"
26) No OOC racism or discrimination. We will not tolerate this behavior.
27) Stay your character for a bit. Especially if you become a faction leader, you shouldn't switch every day or something.
28) DO NOT Destroy buildings unless you made them. This is big griefing
29) Cunningham Co is an admin/invite faction only. If you do get invited, you can RP as your normal character, but if you wish to create an airship or RP as a Cunningham Char, you can create a separate char, with a separate skin
30) Strips and Airships are expensive for a reason. We expect that outside of faction leaders, airships will only be obtainable by about an 1/8th of the server. Otherwise, you will have to borrow one from a faction leader, or possibly even steal one (RP this good, or else you may be in trouble)
31) Airships and Cities are prebuilt for a reason, they are a) airships should be hella expensive, if anyone can make them then they will depreciate in value, and airships and cities must fit with our lore and ideals
32) No cheating the system. This includes giving someone an airship because you are leaving the server or something. Let the airship burn down, but avoid giving out free stuff because of OOC reasons or because you want to help a friend out.
33) Proper Grammar and eloquent writing is key. Avoid talking like " guys im hungry", something like "Chaps, I am famished, shall we head to an eatery?" is much, much better.
34) Have fun.
