Rules

Please read the rules carefully

***Please report rule breakers in the discord. They will be banned***

- No sexism, racism, homophobia, sexually explicit language

- Stay in character at all times

Settle Gliese is a roleplaying game, you should play the character of a person that has decided to leave the bland comfort of life on a dystopian future Earth in order to risk everything to settle a new planet. Play that role. If you must give out of character (OOC) explanation or help, please use [OOC: ] to mark this text. This should only be done when absolutely necessary

- Develop a motive in game

Most people develop local ties, loyalties and important / formative friendships. Unless given a really good reason not to be, your in game characters should be as well.

- Value your character's life/ NVL

Your character is a human just like you and doesn't want to take unnecessary risks with their life. If you do things that are unrealistically dangerous, such as attempting to kill a fully armed character with your character who has no weapons or armour, you are not valuing your character's life.

- Spamming/ Low quality posts

Writing messages that aren't plausible speech by a settler on the planet Gliese, playing the town horn all the time for no reason, spamming the chat with nonsense - these will all get you permabanned.

- Try to include everybody.

A skilled roleplayer tries to keep everyone engaged and advancing together in their society. *Listen* to your fellow players and teammates and add to information they bring to the table, support the scene and include people rather than going your own way and directing the narrative flow

- Powergaming/ Fail RP

You can't control other player's actions, don't RP in a way which tries to force their actions on them (eg. \*Harvey punches Mavin, who starts crying\* -> you can RP your character punching Mavin, but it is up to Mavin's player to decide how they react)

- Random Deathmatch/ RDM

You must only attack other players after roleplaying out a good reason/premise for the attack. They should be given at least 24 hours to respond before the attack starts. If they are online and moving around at any point in that 24 hour period the attack can start early.

- Don't use Out of Character knowledge

Your character doesn't know everything you know. They only know what is available to them in the game. This means if you hear about some army approaching from the next town over but your character has no idea, your character is not allowed to prepare in any way.

- Multiple characters in one group

You are only permitted to have one character per group alive at the same time. If your old character died and you wish to rejoin the group, your new character is not allowed to have any relation or knowledge of the previous character or any members of the group.

- Griefing/ Walling

Trapping other players by building walls surrounding them whilst they sleep, destroying other player's buildings for no reason, or building walls/doors all over a town, etc is considered griefing and is a bannable offense. Trapping other players by locking doors is permitted.

- Don't be toxic

There are plenty of in-game reasons for conflict to occur, they don't need to be artificially created for the sake of 'drama'. Don't be elitist or exclusionary. Don't pick on players who don't have any friends. Remember there are people behind the characters and we're all trying to build a beautiful, fun, and engaging world together. Any characters who develop a habit of picking on new arrivals or behaving in a bullying manner will be banned

This is a game for people of ages 18+, but should generally be treated as a game of all ages.
