Server, Discord and Wiki Rules

## OOC Rules

1. DM's and Admins have final say over moderation on the server. If you have an issue with a decision, please bring it up privately.
2. No racism or other bigotry is allowed in chat.
3. Treat everyone with respect on the server.
4. You must be 18 or older to play on AIE
5. Please don't discuss sensitive topics such as religion, politics etc outside of any designated channel should it exist.
6. 18+ content is forbidden from being posted on the server. Keep it private.
7. Just use common sense!

## RP Rules

1. You must accept valid injury or consequence for your IC actions. A DM is able to mediate such instances where there are disagreements over this.
2. No characters under 18 years old.
3. No lore characters, or characters with names like major lore characters. (common names are fine)
4. Keep OOC to OOC channels, or mark with brackets.
5. This server enforces a permadeath system. You can die at any time.
6. No meta- or powergaming. Your character has to find things out themselves to act on them, and they cannot be or have something they have not #earned. When in doubt, consult with a DM!
7. Keep overtly adult themed RP out of spatial. Whispers or anon posting is not sufficient.
8. PvP actions can only be performed through consent of the other party, or with a sufficient casus belli.

## Permadeath

Permadeath specifically refers to your character dying, as oppose to having gone down and being incapacitated. Under normal circumstances, a character is not at risk of being permanently killed, though there are several situations under which you can be. Permadeath can apply if:

* the event you attend was marked as such clearly by the DM. DMs will always warn attending players that the event carries a certain threat level, on a scale of 1 - 10.
* your character does something unquestionably lethal, for example throwing themselves on an explosive.
* you are engaged in agreed or casus belli PvP. The loser of the PvP fight is at the mercy of the winner, they can choose to kill their opponent, though such actions can carry consequences of their own.
* you are overtly using the Force in any scenario, or are already known to your opponent(s) as a Force user.

It is important to note that characters can die from non-combat reasons. Always be mindful of what your character is doing, and what the consequences could and would be!

## Travel and Event Ringfencing

While it's not mechanically enforced on the server, narratively, travel takes time on AEI. While we generally wish to see travel time being taken into account, we do enforce some measures to prevent players from joining in progress events. An event, meaning any situation being overseen by a DM, planned or emergent, is considered ringfenced as soon as it is initiated, this means that people outside of that event can only intervene or interact with it under specific conditions. Players who were not on planet at the time of the initiation of the event will be unable to join. If your character was in a position to reasonably get to the event (DM discretion,) you may join at a point designated by the DM.
Character Backgrounds
As a general rule, we do not allow special character backgrounds, including, but not limited to:
(Former) Jedi
high ranking member of a faction
a famous individual
the descendent of a lore character
Exceptions to this can be made under specific circumstances, with appropriate cause. If you wish to discuss a special background, contact us in a support ticket.
