Rules

The rules listed below are designed to keep the server's content and the wiki's material high-quality and safe. It is not neccesary to read and remember the wiki rules unless you plan to edit the wiki's content.

## Game Rules

These rule apply to the Blockland server only. Ban times are determined by the administrators depending on the severity of the transgression, as there are no set ban times for any offense. If you are in a hurry, simply just read the bolded text, for the rest of the information simply clarifies in the case of confusion.

1. **Do not godmod** - this means to make your character stay alive or unhurt in improbable RP situations. If you're shot in the head, you should be dead.
2. **No Revenge/Random Deathmatch (RDM***)*. This means respawning and finding and killing the guy who killed you to get revenge. If someone is killing randomly, don't take up vigilante justice - ask an admin.
3. **RP at all times, if possible.** It's understandable to take a break while being AFK, but if you're playing the game and are in the minigame, you should be ready to RP.
4. **Do serious RP.** You can have comedy, and perhaps play as a silly (yet still believable) character, but do not let it interrupt RP when it is supposed to be serious.
5. **Trolling or hacking of any kind is unnacceptable.** We define trolling as deliberately interupting the RP or gameplay in some way that causes grief or technical issues to other players. Deliberately crashing vehicles into other players without any justification, playing as an offensive character (such as a crude racial stereotype) or making hurtful comments are some examples of this behavior.
6. **Have a well-developed character.** Your character should have both likable and unlikable traits whether or not they are portrayed as good or evil. Try to avoid making your character a clone of your real-life self. It's a good idea to make their opinions/personality differentiate at least slightly from yours.
7. **Metagaming is forbidden.** Do not make your character "know" information that he logically wouldn't have. We won't consider asking what places have people in them to be metagaming as long as you're doing it just so you'll be able to find people to RP with.
8. **Racism, sexism, homophobia, and/or religious intolerance is unacceptable in any Out-of-Character conversation.** While most forms of free speech is protected, articulating discriminatory views simply causes too much trouble. However, it is acceptable to play as a character who holds racist views, but not to play one that is simply a crude stereotype of a certain ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, or gender.
