IC (In Character) Rules

The following is the IC (In Character) rules all members of the Crusade Networks Community are expected to follow at all times while in game. Please remember that **ignorance of the rules does not exempt you from them!**

* **Follow all Applicable OOC (Out of Character) Rules and Discord Rules:** Many of the Rules that apply to the Crusade Networks Discord / OOC (Out of Character) chat also apply to IC (In Character) chat in-game. Please make sure to read all OOC (Out of Character) Rules and Discord Rules and contact a member of the Admin Staff should you have any questions about how they translate over!
* **Follow Orders:** As a general rule, you are expected to follow the orders of your NCOs and COs. This does not mean you cannot roleplay disobeying orders that would conflict with your character's morality, but constantly disobeying every order your character receives quickly becomes mingey behavior, and is a violation of this rule.
* **Learn your Chain of Command:** Make sure you know who to report to! This can be accomplished via the Crusade Networks Discord Tab for your faction.
* **Respect other Factions:** We ask that players keep any IC rivalries, disputes, arguments, etc. character to character, and not attempt to start faction wide rifts. Faction bunks are considered sacred ground, and if not invited into them by a member said faction, it is against the rules for a character to enter them if they do not belong to said faction.
* **Possession of Unauthorised Equipment is Prohibited:** Having weapons or other equipment that is not assigned to you by your rank and/or specialization is prohibited, and will earn you IC (In Character) punishments ranging from patrol duty to NPK (Named Player Kill). All unauthorised equipment found on you will be confiscated as well.
* **Obey Signs / Textscreens:** Any text screens posted around the in-game map are considered to be IC (In Character) and you are expected to follow them. This is doubly important regarding restricted areas!
* **Cowardice / Fleeing:** In the 40k universe, the crime of cowardice / fleeing the battlefield is punishable by death. This is also true for in game, and is often punished ICly (In Characterly) via NPK (Named Player Kill).
* **Mic Chat In-game is always Considered IC:** When using the Garry's Mod mic chat on server, speech is considered to have come from your character, and as such, any comments made via the Garry's Mod mic chat can be punished ICly (In Characterly).
* **No RDMing (Random Death Matching) or Minging will not be Tolerated:** RDMing (Random Death Matching)is not allowed within the server at anytime. To attack or a kill another player, you must have sufficient reason IC (In Character) for doing so! Minging (Actively attempting to harm, damage, disrupt, or otherwise hinder the server, ongoing roleplay, other players, etc.) is also not tolerated at anytime.
* **No ERPing (Erotic Roleplaying) within the Server:** Crusade Networks does not tolerate ERPing (Erotic Roleplaying) of any kind on server, be it Discord or In Game. Crusade Networks is not held responsible for any interactions held between characters / players within an individual's Discord DMs however, as as such, does not care what you do there.
