TPA:
1. Do not ever accept tp's from non-Empire members unless told to do so.

3. When in any Empire base never accept tp's from low ranking Empire members, or anyone who is not Empire. Only ever accept tp's from high ranking Empire members, e.g. Generals, Leaders, Ect.
4. Whenever you are planning to tpa to someone, or tpa someone to you, message them with /msg first, so that no one can spam you with tpa's, incase you accidently accept one of them.
5. Use /tpahere more over /tpa, as it prevents people from spamming you with tpa's and lowers the chance that you accidently accept a tpa from a non-Empire member due to the spam of tp's.
6. When you are in Empire bases, use /tptoggle to prevent non-Empire members from tp'ing to you.
7. If you wish to tpa a non-Empire member somewhere for whatever reason, e.g. to kill them, enter the command /wild go, and then /tpaccept or /tpahere them to the location that you teleported to.
