Basic rules

## Discord Rules:

1. Follow the Discord terms of service: https://discord.com/terms. This rule is redundant, but that's why we have rules.

2. There will be zero tolerance for any hateful or discriminatory speech based on race, gender, sexual preference, religion, etc. that is intended to alienate or ridicule any persons. Whether or not 'it was a joke' is irrelevant, and using this as an excuse will get you no where.

3. Use channels for their intended purposes. If you are unsure what a channel is for, ask somebody who does.

4. NSFW content is only allowed in #deleted-channel for NSFW speech, but you may not post images or videos containing NSFW content in it. Putting NSFW content in any other channels will result in an immediate kick, INCLUDING images-for-maps.

5. Please don’t ping @ everyone, you can @ here instead. (edited)

## Server Rules:

\* = this can be overridden in specific and agreed upon situations for plot

### 1. Respect

Respect each other, everyone here is friends and can trust each other. If you cannot resolve your differences, there will be consequences.

Respect the right to life. Excessively or non-comedic killing others is frowned upon and if these actions become a pattern, there will be consequences.

Respect the time that other players put in, and don’t use hacks, xraying, or other tools to gain an unfair advantage.

Respect the work that other players put in, and don’t grief any buildings that aren’t owned by you. This includes, but is not limited to: placing random blocks around the structure, leaving creeper holes unfilled, and directly destroying the property. You own what you build, not what you will build on.\*

### 2. Integrity

Stealing is frowned upon, and any gear, consumables, items, or blocks that are owned by another player should be returned as soon as you are aware of who the owner is.\*

Metagaming is the use of information gained outside of character and using said information to advance your character where it realistically should not have (ex. Dream telling Tommy where Techno’s house is, even though Dream, as a character, did not have information about where Techno’s house was before then). The use of metagaming on Odyssey SMP is largely frowned upon, as scripts are often released with information for two sides of a conflict where one side could easily use the script against the other.

Do your best not to break the 4th wall. This means checking when you log on to see if anyone is live or recording, and using that to get in character for the duration that they are recording or live-streaming.

This is a block game, please don't take things personally.

If the bot tells you to stop spamming or to watch your language, you should oblige instead of questioning the bot. The bot is there for a reason.

## Adding New Members

1. Odyssey SMP has an applicant system that will be open to new applicants whenever Odyssey is fielding new members. This application will be available on our PlanetMinecraft page for anyone to sign up.

2. If people in the server would like to directly invite somebody, Odyssey will allow 1-2 (based on a vote tournament) people to join every 2 months through invitation.

3. If previous members who have left of their own accord wish to rejoin, they may without any discretion, excluding those who have been banned, temporarily or permanently. (edited)

## Notes

These rules are subject to change and improvements and are flexible as moderators see fit.

Circumventing the rules intended purpose via loopholes or other exploits is prohibited and will be punished as seen fit. If you believe someone on the server is breaking any of the rules listed, contact a moderator with evidence.

Unless otherwise stated, breaking any of these rules will result in a warning. If you break the rules more than 2 times you will be either permanently banned or temporarily banned from the discord, depending on the severity of the incident(s) and discretion of the moderators. After coming back if you break another rule you will be perma-banned from the discord, with no appeal.
