Rules

### Hacking and exploits

Hacks are not permitted, these are defined as anything that provides an unfair advantage over other players.
Item duplication glitching is not permitted and items obtained from glitching will be deleted.
Abuse of bugs and exploits is not permitted.
Schematica and similar style mods are permitted although they must be in manual mode.

### Autofarms and redstone

Autofarms and redstone machines are allowed but are only allowed with reason (basically are they noticeably lagging the server y/n). Flying machines are a notable exception to this as they are unrealistic and cause lag guaranteed.

### Alternate Accounts

Alternate accounts are not permitted on GrimurRP, this is to:

* Prevent town power abuse
* Prevent players having "combat accounts" logged into various towns
* Prevent the formation of meta alliances
* Make player's characters more meaningful and important

Etc.

### Wars

To arrange for war open a ticket with an admin and explain your target, Roleplay reasons/casus belli for war, what stakes you wish to fight for and your ideal time. In the lead-up to the war raid attacks are permitted between war participants, these raid attacks could also be the only stake for fighting if you wanted for example.
Be respectful to people on the other side of the war. Do not harass them, don’t excessively grief (more then is reasonable to get to beds and chests).
Players are expected to make reasonable accommodations to groups if they conquer them but this goes both ways, conquered players and groups are expected to cooperate with their new overlords. If your group utterly refuses to work with any would-be conqueror declare this when discussing war planning with admins to set appropriate stakes.

### Civil Wars

Civil wars largely follow the same rules as standard war although are obviously concerning a town in question, if a town is in a nation or there are relevant nations with RP/Casus Belli reasons to interfere though they area allowed to.

### RDM

Random Death Match is killing without a purpose or cause and is not permitted. You are able to demand people to leave your town and after the second-time if they do not vacate it is no longer considered RDM. Killing within RP is only permitted provided both sides agree in advance.

### Roleplay

Players and groups are expected to abide by no reign-of-terror/king of the ashes rule, while there is nothing wrong with a militarily focused country or group they must make valid efforts to roleplay.

## Guidelines

Guidelines exist effectively as less strict rules, they are mostly to set the tone on the server, promote roleplay and world-building and maintain server health. How and when these can be used is up to admin discretion, although due to the nature of guidelines enforcement is typically lenient.

### War

When wishing to declare war consider whether it is a reasonable battle to be fought within roleplay, both geographically and cause, just remember that conflicts are a purely roleplay type affair moderated by admins and as such what would normally be a war could simply be a few skirmishes instead.

### Worldbuilding

Do not roleplay as an actual real-life country or nation, taking inspiration even heavy is absolutely fine but it breaks immersion and is generally unfun otherwise.
This also goes likewise for religion, again inspiration is completely acceptable but the use of real-life names is an immersion breaker.

### Roleplay

Characters should be fun and meaningful for others to interact with, no one likes the concept of a bandit mute who just slaughters for no good reason. Use roleplay to give convincing backstory, reasons for actions etc.
Players should mind that global chat/OOC chat is Out of Character, this means that this chat should not be used for in roleplay interactions or discussion related to roleplay directly.

### Bandits and Mercenaries

All bandit and mercenary applications must contain strict **valid** RP reasons for why this character is planning to become either of these "professions". In the discord there is a channel which will show if applications are open.

Bandits are permitted to RDM but these scenarios must be entertaining and interesting within RP, likewise players can murder bandits without recourse for any reason, continual non-valid harassment of specific players and groups as a bandit is not tolerated. Bandits are not allowed to join towns and are effectively outlaws.

Mercenaries are only allowed to engage in PVP as apart of admin sanctioned war, barring this all killing will still be considered RDM, admins will clarify to you which Mercenary tag to use (Blue/Red) for the war. Engaging in battle with the wrong tag on is considered a serious breach of rules by staff.
