No RDM/Random:
Engaging a player in combat without a valid reason or role-play. Example; walking up to a player and attacking them unprovoked without saying anything first or having a reason within the rule-set to attack. If you are in the same faction you can help players in your faction without them needing to say "help" in local chat. If you're in a faction and your friend is a commoner/outlaw or another faction either you or he/she MUST say "help" in local chat to receive assistance! In the event of horse bumping you must actually tell the person to stop horse bumping you and in the event that you have been bumped by the same person more than 3 times you may engage and kill them.

Threatening Gestures:
If a player deals damage to a player without valid RP, they can be killed and reported for RDM. Kicking, Punching someone twice, or Horse Bumping someone three times, drawing bow/weapons [Pulling back the arrow on the bow, holding a swing, etc], in character insults, theft of horses or any items etc, all of these are justifiable reasons to kill a player.  As such please be advised that horse damage does not show in our logs at this time, nor does the drawing of the bow or cocking of a weapon. to help your staff out please take screenshots of any event your in with those particular situations the better the screenshot, the better the evidence. Logs do not show everything so we ask our player base to step up and provide evidence as well.

Meta-Gaming:
The use of Teamspeak or other chat clients is legal and not restricted. The use of Faction Chat to alert faction members is legal and not restricted.  However if you're insulted on Teamspeak OR Global chat, you cannot kill that person.

No Combat Logging:
Quitting the game in the middle of a fight in order to save your gear or logging out when being halted are examples.  If you have taken/delivered direct damage or have been halted and are running from players who are hunting you is not allowed and is considered combat logging. You must wait 2 minutes before logging out of the game. Anything under 30 seconds will result in a combat logging ban.

NRR (No Revenge Rule):
Players can return to the scene where they were slain and recover their gear and do remember their past life, but cannot attack their attacker, however, your attacker may attack you if you try to steal your gear back. This does not mean they have to like their attacker and pretend nothing happened.  You cannot rob/roleplay towards your attacker within 15 minutes of being killed. NRR turns back into the No RDM / Random rule, meaning you will need valid role-play reason to get into a fight again. NRR does not apply to wars.

Kill-On-Sight:
KoS can only be told to faction members through local chat, NOT faction chat. Being told your killer is KoS does not allow you to break NRR on them.

Robbery / Taxation:
Taxation and robbery must be role-played, "500 or die" is not valid role-play. Maximum robbery of gold is 20% of the victim's money pouch. In order to rob items, you must be an Outlaw, however you can rob gold without being affiliated to any faction. You can only rob that person once within 15 minutes, and you can only rob either gold or items not both. The robber must provide at least 10 seconds for the victim to comply before attacking. The word "Halt" is not assumed to be the start of a robbery or a demand and is therefore not a kill reason on it's own, the 'Halter' may not have hostile intentions.

Imprisonment:
You may imprison a player for up to 15 minutes. Any longer and the prisoner must consent to the longer duration.

Wars:
To declare war you must provide a valid RP reason, this will require common sense to know what reasons are valid or invalid, It is assumed that 'Land' is only valid when you do not possess a castle and that 'Bloodlust' is never a valid reason. Wars must only be declared with the majority of your army and banners being close to or within the area of your's or an ally's castle or camp. You cannot have your troops near the castle of the faction you're about to declare war on. Outlaws, commoners and factions that are NOT part of the war cannot participate or interfere with the war or battle. You cannot declare war on a faction which does not have a castle unless they declare a war on an allied faction. Once the faction has lost it's holdings (castles) then peace must be declared. War must be declared to provide RP and fun, not to accommodate RDMing. A retaliation war may be carried out by the defending faction once peace is declared if they wish to not end the war. You must capture a castle you have taken control over, if this is not done, peace would be declared by an Admin.

Alliances:
When forming an alliance the lords must make a note of the alliance in the faction name. A faction may participate in any war that involves an ally as long as the war rules are still followed.

Raids:
Raids must be approved by Admins!  Only outlaws can raid.  Raiders must wait in their camp while an admin announces the raid. The raid is over once all of the raiders are killed.  Raids cannot be performed on commoner cities.

Assassination Contracts:
The player giving the contract must declare in Admin chat who they are putting a contract on and who is carrying out the contract.

Mercenary Rules:
Playing as a mercenary for a warring faction is not allowed, you must join the warring faction in order to participate in wars.

Help:
A player can ask for help if they're being robbed/attacked. The people around them can choose to help. If a player asks for help whilst his/her faction is at war with the attacker's faction then those around CANNOT help.

Racism:
We have tried to be lenient on being free to speak on this server but it has been causing complaints.  If you are racially attacking individuals on the server or using other racial terms in a way which is offending other players, you will be removed from the game.  If an Admin asks a player to change their name if it is causing complaints, or offending himself or other players, he only has to warn the player once.

Impersonation:
Impersonating Admins, other players, or using Clan/Faction tags that you are not a member of is strictly prohibited.  We will not tolerate people tainting other people's reputations based on your conduct.

Attacking Admins:
Admins who are dealing with complaints or AFK must NOT be attacked by players. This is a continuing trend in NA, however in EU this will not be condoned and will be punished.

Lying/Disrupting:
Do not lie to Administration during an investigation as it may result in a temporary ban. Do not attack players or steal player items if they are speaking with an admin present.
