FlaX Paradise:

Flax paradise is a light roleplaying server. What this means is that while we do not demand that you perform  do a variation of "Hamlet" in your character, we atleast expect your actions to have a roleplaying motive other than "ganked u for for teh lolz/lewtz", just as we expect you to communicate and voice your actions in game. Likewise this also goes for people who might be subject to some roleplaying actions - an example could be as a captive, play along.

PvP is allowed, but one should keep in mind theres a strong difference between Roleplay / PvP and just blatantly killing people on sight. Likewise a good PvP event also can end out in something resembling herassment when the 3rd wave of the same people come running within the same hour - so use your common sense, when is enough enough?

Remember we are all here to have fun! Both you and the other players on the server.


General rules / guidelines:
These may be subject to change, so read up on them from time to time. And while everything isn't set in stone, use em as a guideline and use common sense playing. If you are not unreasonable, rarely will other players or admins be.

Killing/Robberies/similar interactions:

KoS isn't allowed. Thats not to say you aren't allowed to raid and kill people. However, running up to people and outright attacking them for no reason isn't what this server is about(theres plenty of other servers for that sort of gameplay). But obviously, if theres a good roleplaying reason for doing so like a major argument or theft, territorial disputes or similar, and both parties are aware of whats going on - fights may and should happen.

As a note, if two guilds openly declared a war, attacks without warning may obviously take place between those two factions.

Robbers and bandits are also allowed. But this is also the quickest way to get yourself banned if you dont do it in a reasonable way. A keynote here is roleplay, and also giving people a chance to react to it. While its never nice to loose your stuff to a bandit, the experience should atleast happen in a somewhat civilized manner - As mentioned earlier, we are all here to have fun.

Telling people to drop their loot or be killed and then attacking them 0.2 seconds after is NOT ok, obviously a fight may break out during a robbery, or if caught stealing. However mindlessly attacking a hapless victim without warning should be a last resort.

Likewise use of ropes and other entrapment tools are allowed - but once again strong roleplay, and obviously a reason is required.

Bear in mind, that the killing of sleepers is allowed at all times. One should only sleep in secure locations.


Burglary / Raiding:

Burglary is allowed at all times. Burglary is defined as gaining access to houses / buildings storage facilities without the need of a siege weapon. Examples of this could be using lockpicks or melee weapons to knock down doors, or low tier walls.

Raiding is only allowed against buildings where the owners are online, and preferably with a proper RP reason. Siege weapons are tools of war, and rarely a burglary tool.


Crest removal:

Its allowed to remove a house crest, and set up your own in order to take over a house.
However, raiding houses for building blocks is NOT allowed - and will cause a ban! In other words, you may NOT immidiately remove another persons building blocks (Right-Click the house down) - doors may however be replaced and reasonable modifications made.

You are obviously allowed to construct more/upgrade on the building if you like.

Once you've held that house for 48 hours, block removal is allowed(check with an admin prior to doing so).


Building rules / Physics:

Flax paradise runs a realistic building policy. Breaking risks deletion of your property.
What this means is that we expect all buildings to be made in a realistic manner.

No flying buildings.(the null gravity generator isn't invented yet)

No unsupported buildings: If you want to build over a cliff make sure your house/castle got (realistic) pillars to take the weight.

No floating water castles

No underwater houses / underwater storage fascilities.

All buildings MUST have doors.(temporary is no excuse)

No hiding at sea - in other words you are not allowed to building more than 1-200 meters from the coast. A coastline castle is allowed, but it has to have a bridge - and it needs to have proper underwater support. As a special note, all chests / items must be above water. And your crest must be above water as well.

Use your common sense or ask an admin if you are in doubt.


Kings Castle / The King:

No building blocks are permitted on the kings island itself - and no crest may be placed there.  (furnaces / tools / siege weaponry is allowed)

Any building done to defend the Kings castle from attacks must be constructed on the sword(crest is allowed) or on the main island.

Building on the underside of the sword is now allowed.

Bypassing a wall on the bridge using blocks are not allowed. (the good ol' loop-around)


Raiding the Castle:
The castle may be raided at all times - and siege weaponry use against the kings castle and defensive walls is allowed at all times.

Likewise attacks on the king may take place at any time if he is out in the lands (after all, there is often plenty of reasons to assasinate an opressive ruler.) RP are of course encouraged.


Public buildings:
Public buildings will typically be made near the kings castle. And they should either be uncrested or be clearly maked by a guild name ("public building" or similar), the intend of the building should also be announced in the chat so everyone is aware. A good example of such a building could be an arena. Such a building may not be crested / stolen.


Last notes:
Use your microphone to communicate ingame as much as you can, this is a faster/better way of communicate instead of typing in chat.

Use common sense on the server.

Keep a nice tone in the chat.

Only english is allowed in public chat. You are able to talk whatever language you want in the guild chat though.

Server chat colors:

Blue: Headadmin

Red: Co-admin/VIP

These rules should prevent random killing, taking structures down and make the server a better experience overall for everyone, please respect them.
