Roleplay Rules

1. When you log into the minecraft server, assume that everyone is in character unless they specify otherwise. This is a lore-based RP server, so avoid excessive out of character interactions. Planning or coordination for RP can be done on Discord in OOC channels or in the DMs. While we understand being in character can be draining and overwhelming at all times. But you came to this server to RP in and that’s the whole purpose of this server. If you see someone who is excessively out of character please open a ticket and it will be dealt with as soon as possible.
2. You can roleplay in either text form or voice form. However we encourage that everyone install the encourage mods which have Voice proxy chat in it so they can hear other voice RPers even if they do not wish to voice rp themselves.
3. Your roleplay should contribute to telling a collaborative story. Be creative with your character lore, buildings and expanding on the existing server world lore. Your character should have meaningful interactions with other characters on the server that contribute to ongoing plots and help propel the story forward. We encourage your armor, weapons, and enchantments to have lore reasons attached to them. Upgrading to the highest level of armor, enchantments, and weapons without a solid character basis will be considered metagaming.
4. Joining the server simply to cause havoc or “meme” without adding anything meaningful is highly discouraged and may result in a ban.
5. Don’t exclude other people from roleplay opportunities for out of character reasons.
6. Do not take in-character interactions personally. This is roleplay, so characters may clash, insult each other, or start conflict. It is no reflection of how the players feel about each other out of character.
7. Don’t metagame, A.K.A.,  use out of character knowledge that you have about the RP while you are in character. For example a character should not know about a situation they weren’t there for that no one else has told them about in character. A character should also not have excessive amounts of money, for example if your character is a measly adventurer of a small guild within a state they would not have exorbitant amounts of coin.
8. Do not glitch, exploit, spawn-trap, use hacks, or otherwise make the server unplayable for other people in the server. Doing so will result in an autoban.
9. Don’t force people to RP certain scenarios that they aren’t comfortable roleplaying. If someone is making you uncomfortable on the server, please let the staff know.
10. You can be “permakilled”. If your character is “killed” during a roleplay interaction. It will ONLY be considered canon if the reason for the death can be justified RP wise. If you want to kill off your character, you have to inform one of the staff, give them a reason for killing your character and how your character will die.
11. This is a 16+ server. NSFW RP whether it’s ERP or insensitive topics RP will not be tolerated.
12. Marriage and Relationships RP. You can marry another player IC or have a relationship with another player IC. However, It must be consented from both parties and it can't have any NSFW RP in any capacity.
13. Children in RP. You can have children in RP. However, they are born at the age of 18 and have to be played by another player, You can't do any NSFW regarding having children. They just appear when both parties consent to having a child. You can also adopt other players if you get their consent.
14. No powergaming: Don't oppress other characters and make them do things your way. You will kill all the fun for other players. Also, your character is not almighty, it can die and it will die eventually.
15. Your character has to deal with the consequences of their actions: if your character screwed up big time, they have to deal with the consequences. So be careful with what you do in character.
16. If you are interacting with another character whether in IC or OOC, do not punch the other player. It will be considered canon if you do and the repercussions are yours to deal with.
17. If you are roleplaying a villain or a hostile character, please don’t use real world slurs, racism, hate speech, or bigotry while in character.
18. Players are not allowed to roleplay or take inspiration from regimes undeniably tied with genocides and bigotry. This also includes any in-game creation of symbols associated with these regimes. Players are, however, allowed to roleplay as regimes that have committed atrocities but are not fundamentally identifiable by them, though they may not roleplay the atrocities nor the ideologies which enabled them to occur.
19. Slavery of players is not allowed systematically, for either roleplay or gameplay. Players may consider themselves to be enslaved or slaves if it is consensual among all parties. Any reference to real-life slavery and crimes against humanity in roleplay will still not be tolerated.
20. Propaganda is allowed on the server, but the use of propaganda from banned regimes is not. If players wish to co-op existing propaganda for the server, they must cover all hate symbols and connection to the real life regimes as to not tie the minecraft nation with that of real life atrocities.
21. Do not leak your kingdoms critical information: This is a rule that should be followed whether IC or OOC.
22. If you have any questions about the rules or notice that someone on the server is breaking the rules, please let the server owner or one of the admins know.
23. Have FUN!: But in all seriousness, if you're not having fun with your current character or environment, contact one of the staff and they will help.
