1: (admin) Equipment on the ground
From: admin
Subject: Equipment on the ground
Equipment dropped on the ground is fair game for all.
By dropped equipment, I mean that that you drop. This does not include
equipment that is removed from you without your consent, such as when you
die. Zombies used to retrieve corpses are NOT to be messed with if they
are in the possession of eq. Other cases of this sort:
Corpses
Zapped equipment
Disarmed weapons
Corpse eq (after the corpse has been eaten)
Equipment donated for the purposes of a corpse retrieval
2: (admin) General player interaction rules
From: admin
Subject: General player interaction rules
This mud is populated by others, and you have the obligation to obey certain
laws of courtesy. Below are some of them -
It is illegal to:
dispel a player unless asked to do so by that player.
rob a players corpse without their permission.
take a players equipment if their corpse is eaten or otherwise
disposed of.
take a weapon from a disarmed player.
summon mobs to "populated areas" such as town, mud school, or
immediate paths from town.
kill a corpse retrieval zombie and sac the equipment on it.
It is also illegal to summon players against their will, especially to aggro
mobs. This will be considered a player kill, and the offender will be treated
as such.
If a mortal recites teleport on a mob, they are NOT responsible as to what the
mob does or where it goes. Gods may relocate the teleported mob, kill the mob
ect.... but they may only but in back in its proper place, and only if the
room is unoccupied by mortals.
3: (admin) Penalties
From: admin
Subject: Penalties
Available penalties for breaking rules are:
Booting: You are forced to recall and quit.
Disconnect: Your link is intentionally broken by a god.
Freezing: You are not allowed to do anything at all.
Denial: Your character is not allowed to log on to the mud.
Siteban: Your IP (or entire class C address set) will be banned.
Purging: You loose all your equipment.
Archiving: Your character is put in storage.
Deletion: Your character disappears. Forever.
These are somewhat in order of increasing harshness, and I hope we dont have
to use them at all.
4: (admin) Player harassment
From: admin
Subject: Player harassment
It has come to my attention that certain players are being harassed by other
players. I find this somewhat annoying, as I thought people would be a bit
more responsible than this. Since it is obvious that that is not the case,
I'm making a rule against it with punishment.
First offense: Warning.
Second offense: You will be frozen for 3 days.
Third offense: You will be frozen for two weeks.
Continued offenses: Your characters will be deleted, sites will be banned, etc.
Harassment of a mortal by a god is grounds for immediate dismissal of that god.
I do not take this sort of thing lightly, and all gods regardless of level are
advised to do the same.
5: (admin) Duping and storage characters
From: admin
Subject: Duping and storage characters
In light of a recent problem, I have decided on a policy for storage characters
and equipment duping. If you intentionally attempt to duplicate a large amount
of equipment, I reserve the right to forfeit the duplications AND originals.
Characters from this point on will only be allowed one storage character per
main character. I realize that this is somewhat difficult to enforce, but if
I find 5 characters that are all level 1 holding 500 pounds of stuff, who are
happily packing and trading eq about, I will quite happily delete whichever I
find more offensive. You know who you are.
6: (admin) player killing
From: admin
Subject: player killing
Pking (player killing) is defined as the intentional (or occasionally
accidental) death of a player directly as a result of the actions of another
player.
This includes summoning a monster to a player, summoning a player to a monster
without thier knowledge, or forcing a charmed character to attack a player.
There are also other ways, which will be treated as pking as defined above.
This does not include characters who join a group willingly, who enter into
battle knowing the risks.
The penalties for player killing in this (or any other fashion) are going be be
severe. The lightest offenses will be archiving of the character for a short
period of time. Obvious, blatant, repeated attempts to do this will result in
freezing, purging, or outright denial of the character.
8: (admin) pkok rule, an important one
From: admin
Subject: pkok rule, an important one
Format:
pkok
pkok <your name>
The pkok command is used to register yourself for player killing. With no
arguments, it gives a description of what it does. With any argument, it
sets you to playerkilling.
Once you register for player killing, the flag can only be removed by leaving
the game and re-enterg.
If you are killed by another player killer, you will not lose experience or
equipment. NOTE, HOWEVER, that being killed by a mob WILL take away your
exp, and leave your corpse wherever you died.
In leiu of this, it is illegal to pkill someone in such a way that they lose
experience or equipment. This inludes summoning them to a mob, summoning a
mob to them, using charmed mobs, or anything else like that.
This is taken directly from the help page on pkok. I hope this clears things
up a little bit.
13: Sep 6 12:42 (heart maxx) Multiplaying
From: heart maxx
Subject: Multiplaying
Effective immediately players shall be allowed one active character
logged into the mud at any given time. This rule will be enforced.
The only exception will be the brief logging in of a storage character
for the exchanging of eq.
14: Feb 23 19:03 (dentin) Channel Censorship
From: dentin
Subject: Channel Censorship
First of all, 'newbie' is the only heavily monitored and censored channel.
Newbie is the primary channel people see when they first log in - it should
make a good impression on them, and they shouldn't have to deal with extra
noise on it.
Gossip, shout, and yell are also monitored, and you may be asked to curb
your language on those channels. They should be clean enough for a 10 year
old to listen to. This is of course rather subjective. Cursing is usually
fine, but excessively graphical topics are not. These channels are limited
because they are universal channels that most people have on.
Auction should be kept to what auction is for. The user defined (#)
channels are pretty much free game.
Spamming a channel, any channel, is a deadly offense. Don't spam.
First annoyance (offense) you will be asked to use tell, say, or some other
channel. After that you maybe booted, no-gossiped, or frozen. Keep in mind
that all kinds of people, and all ages play this mud.
