Our Current Outline

Rule 1: Players are to remain in character at all times.

Rule 2: Do not flame or troll others in Out of Character (OOC) chat. Do not repeatedly advertise your own website or SS13 server.

Rule 3: Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse for breaking them.

Rule 4: Do not randomly murder other people. Self-defense is acceptable, but combat has stages of progression that it follows. If you do not know these press F1 to adminhelp and ask an admin for explanation.

Rule 5: Security and Heads of Staff are expected to act responsibly. These are important jobs and abuse of the position (actions that negatively affect the entire station/server) are disallowed.

Rule 6: Using certain OOC terms (Smilies, internet speak, etc) whilst IC is not allowed.

Rule 7: Metagaming is not allowed. Metagaming is defined as using OOC knowledge whilst IC to gain an advantage.

Rule 8: Keep your names appropriate. Do not use profanity in a name. Do not use intentionally offensive names. Use a First Name, Last Name format. (Ace McSpace, Clyde Brink, etc.) Appropriate names are properly capitalized. Clowns do not have to fit a First Name/Last Name format.

Rule 9: Erp in any form is disallowed.

Rule 10: Griefing is not allowed. Grief is defined as: The intentional OOC intent to ruin another players enjoyment or ability to play the game with no IC or RP reasons for the characters actions.


Items of note:

           Rule #4.2) Antagonists are able to be confirmed as antagonistic when there is no doubt that they are such. Finding a PDA with the syndicate panel open, releasing singularity, randomly assaulting and killing innocents, etc. Traitorous items should be used as supporting evidence, but it doesn't always confirm the traitor status. Forensic (Detective) analysis showing they're the only person who had the weapon is an example of determining a traitor.

           Rule #4.3) Malfunction/Insanity is not a valid excuse to "RP" beyond the boundaries of the rules.

           Rule #4.4) Officers are to be in accordance with LLA's version of Space Law when handling criminals. Space Law and the Server Rules are two separate entities. The first is an IC game mechanic and the second is our definition of what is allowed IC and OOC.

           Rule #4.5) Aiding an Antagonist as a Nonantagonist is disallowed unless a convincing In-Character/Roleplay reason can be provided for doing so.
