RULES OF ENGAGEMENTRULES OF ENGAGEMENT

In-character conflict is the point of the server. Out-of-character harassment, slurs, discrimination and personal attacks are not, and are actioned regardless of what your character would do.

Alternate accounts used to bypass a punishment, farm loot, or scout for another character are treated as ban evasion. If you need a second character, ask staff first.

Argue a ruling in a ticket after the scene, never in-game or in public channels. Continuing to argue mid-scene is itself a punishable disruption.

Do not advertise other servers in our Discord or in-game, and do not carry drama from other communities into this one.

Anything done on your account is treated as done by you. Sharing credentials is not a defence and is itself grounds for removal.

Your character wants to survive. Acting fearlessly with a gun pointed at you, refusing reasonable demands, or throwing yourself at a horde for content breaks the scene for everyone in it.

Information your character did not learn in character does not exist. Streams, Discord calls, and what you saw on your previous character are all out-of-character sources.

Do not force outcomes on other players, invent abilities your character has no reason to have, or narrate actions that leave the other person no way to respond.

Use out-of-character chat sparingly and never during an active scene. If something genuinely needs a pause, call it clearly and take it to a ticket afterwards.

When your character dies, that character forgets the events leading to their death, and may not return to the area or pursue those involved for two hours.

No celebrity names, joke names, or names referencing memes or brands. Staff may force a rename without warning.

Hostile action needs clear, in-character initiation that gives the other party a genuine chance to respond. Shooting first without initiation is random deathmatch.

Killing without roleplay context is the fastest way to lose your whitelist. "My character is unstable" is not a context.

Disconnecting during or immediately after an active scene to avoid an outcome is treated as the outcome having happened, plus a punishment.

Demands must be achievable. Taking a hostage requires a roleplay reason and a way for the situation to end without a body.

Do not enter an active firefight you have no roleplay connection to. Wait for the scene to resolve, or establish a reason to be involved before engaging.

Repeatedly ramming players, using a vehicle to escape an initiated scene, or driving into a structure to break a siege are all out of bounds.

Every base needs a viable entry point that can be breached with the tools available on the server. Sealed boxes are removed without compensation.

Military sites, hospitals, event locations and the city core are off limits. Build there and the structure is removed.

Raiding is allowed with an in-character reason. Raiding purely to clear a stash, with no attempt at roleplay before or during, is not.

Structures may not seal roads, bridges, or the only route into a settlement. Staff will remove anything that makes the map unplayable for others.

Using a bug for any advantage — duplication, clipping through geometry, recovering lost items — is a permanent ban. Reporting one in a ticket is rewarded.

Menus, injectors, macro scripts and any client modification that changes gameplay are permanent bans on first offence, with no appeal.

Using a live broadcast to locate, follow or ambush a player is metagaming and is actioned as such.

Selling characters, items or currency for real money is a permanent removal for everyone involved in the transaction.

Voice is the primary interaction on this server. Text roleplay is permitted only where a ticket has approved it in advance.

You may only use a radio channel your character has the frequency for, and only while carrying a working radio.

Soundboards, voice changers and music played over voice break immersion for everyone in earshot and are not permitted in-game.

Discord voice with players who are in the same scene is metagaming, whether or not you act on what you hear.

Most offences follow the three-strike escalation in the table above. Exploits, cheating and ban evasion skip straight to permanent removal. Staff weigh intent and history.

Appeal in a Discord ticket, once, quoting the incident ID. Appeals opened in public channels, or reopened after a decision, are closed without review.

Staff may retire a character where a punishment would otherwise break an ongoing story. This is not appealable separately from the punishment itself.
