===========================================
Global Rules for Administrating the Players
===========================================

On the server we have a set of rules for the players to follow
but we also have a rule book that Admins must follow, don't worry it's nothing to much
First let me explain what Players on the server are Allowed to do

1. They *can* Curse / Cuss at anyone (even admins) without being punished or warned.

2. They *can* Grief, if the person that got griefed does not know how to setup a plot protection (which they should have by reading signs..) then it is really there fault for getting griefed in the first place.. So if someone says I got grief and wants justice for it simply reply to that person that ""Grief is allowed if you do not protect your home, read the plot signs at spawn for help""

2. Everything else is kind of a given, now I will explain what they cannot do and what to do about it it they disobey.

=============

1. They *cannot* harass other players or admins (Example: Harassment on the server is defined like if someone is building and minding there own and then some random person starts hunting/violently cursing at the person over and over and over again, if you see this happening or someone reports it to you just keep a good eye on the chat and you will see it if its really happening, now if someone is harassing someone else in Private Chat let me (Jared) know so I can look at the console and see if its happening)

How to handle Harassment ? First should be a text Warning, if they continue /mute Them or /jail or both depending on whether they are "Chat" harassing the person or "PVP" harassing them, the Mute and Jails should last about 10 Minutes, if they continue after they are unmuted or let out of jail then /kick them, if they come back in and continue, then Ban them.

2. They *cannot* build plots on any of the spawns, that's kind of a given, if they do it, /jail them and tell them why you jailed them, then head over to the inside of there plot and remove it with /smoothplot remove THERENAME PLOTTYPE     The plottype is just where they made the plot, for example if they made the plot in CreativeRAGE it would be Creative if they did it in Survival it would be Survival :P

3. They *cannot* ask for OP/MOD or anything like that, if they do, just ignore there message and do not answer, if they continue to ask it is considered Spamming, use the /mute THERENAME to take care of it, after you mute them simple type in the chat why they were muted. This rule goes for all types of spamming in the server, just punish them the exact same way with /mute.

4. They *cannot* use things like BloodBending and Lightning In, at or near Spawn to abuse PVP, they really won't be able to use it anyways because of all the protection that the spawns will have, so really you don't have to worry about this one.

5. They *cannot* build offense stuff.. Like a swastika (Nazi Symbol) or penis's.. If they do, Jail them for as long as you see fit, but make sure that what they built is Really offense lol don't mistake an airship for a floating you know what.. :P When you let them out, if they continue, ban them.

6. They *cannot* have Creative in Survival or BendPVP, this is forbidden. There is no way they can get creative anyways so if an Admins gives it to them in one or both of those worlds, that Admin is breaking the rules and will be punished.

7. They *cannot* have help from Admins in Survival or BendPVP, so simply ignore them if they ask for an item or food.

8. They *cannot* have Avatar or change there element, if they ask for it simply tell them that ""they have to rank up to get more elements and maybe even Avatar""

9. Now this is an Admin rule, You as an Admin can have avatar state and use it by yourself but you absolutely CANNOT use it in BendPVP or Survival to kill or even just to mess around with other people, BUT if you earn avatar state by ranking up the legit way "killing players in battle" and you rank up to Legendary Avatar then Yes you can use it in BendPVP only, bending is still restricted in Survival.



===========================================
How Admins Report Abuse on Other Admins
===========================================

This should never have to happen with the people we have, but.. It has happened before so I am writing this to be safe, Ok, if an Admin abuses any of the server rules such as giving Avatar to a person in the server, Changing that persons element without the person ranking up the legit way to get it then that Admin is in trouble, the console logs show everything so just don't do it lol, this same thing goes for giving creative in survival or bendpvp or giving god mode in any of these worlds.

To report on a fellow Admin you simply need to contact Jared and tell him (Me) what happened and if you have any screenshots or video of the offense that happened, I will not simple ban the person being reported on nor will I do anything to him, I will check all the logs first and make sure that everything was true, if I find out that the person lied to try and get the other Admin in trouble then the punishment will be reversed onto the admin that made the report to begin with.

Complete Bending/ Group/ Rank Up Guide & How to
================================================

Please try to read the entire thing, I wrote it this way for a Reason.

OK! here is every single thing you need to know about Bending, Ranks, Groups and how to add a person to the right group when they hit a certain rank!

At the very end of this little bending guide I will write out Every Rank, what Rank is a Level Up, and What group to add that person to when they hit the rank.


Lets begin, I will list off all of the Server PVP ranks first. (This is the little green Rank name that shows up on the player, they rank up by killing other players and once they rank up to a certain Rank they will be added to a new Group for there bending element which will add a new element to there list and change there bending tag)

- None
- Novice
- Rookie
- Apprentice
- Enlightened
- Ascending Fighter
- Ascended Warrior
- Young Hero
- Renowned Hero
- Young Master
- Experienced
- Old Master
- Wise Master
- White Lotus
- Young Avatar
- Legendary Avatar

Ok the first real "Element Level Up Rank" is [Young Master] - Now on Young Master players will get 1 new element that will go with there existing element.

Now this might be a little Odd for you at first but I promise the more you do it the more simple it will get.
Once a player reaches [Young Master] you will need to add them to the group of there Element, I will explain this in detail and then I will explain it as if I was in the game and ranking someone up.

Ok for the long explanation first, there are A Lot of groups I have added, once for each element and rank up, so a small example would be that if Someone is new to the server, and they choose Waterbending, they will get the [Waterbender] name tag, now lets say they rank all the way up to [Young Master] Now this rank is a "Level Up" they will get a brand new element to go with there Waterbending, now once you see this tag [Young Master] you are going to add them to the WaterMaster group because the person was originally a Waterbender, now for a Waterbender who is a [Young Master] they will get Earth and a new name Tag.

Ok! Now let me show you how it would kind of look in the actual game chat -

================================================

[Renowned Hero][Waterbender].John   killed   [Firebender].Eric

[Young Master][Waterbender].John   <-- His rank just changed because he reached the level he needed, now he is at the level up rank.

Now this is what you would do for John as an Admin, he either request his level up or you do it for him automatically.

================================================

Admin.Jared : /manuadd John WaterMaster BendPvP       <- This will add John to the Group WaterMaster.

Admin.Jared : /b add earth John                       <- This will add Earthbending to Johns list of Elements, so he would have Water and Earth.


          AND OF COURSE LET JOHN KNOW THAT HE GOT FIRE ADDED TO HIS LIST BECAUSE OF A LEVEL UP! <- This is important, because most people will not notice anything lol, so you NEED to let them know :P

================================================

Everything must be spelled correctly, that means you HAVE to type out there full name the way it appears in the chat, this goes for the groupname and worldname as well, and like I said, the groupname for John would be WaterMaster and the worldname would be BendPvP.

The truth is that this whole thing is far more simple that what I have written down, what I am writing is more like the advanced backbone of everything lol, honestly the whole bending rank is just Typing in the right command, Spelling the player name Correctly and that's really it :D
BUT! we do have other ranks and I will go ahead and write the list of Groups for each bending rank up, remember that the Group is what will give the player there name tag to show off and also remember to spell the group name EXACTLY as shown in the list below. AND <- lol, MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE ADDING THEM TO THE RIGHT GROUP, for example : Waterbender = WaterMaster    Firebender = FireMaster  Etc..Etc.. You can see what the players original bending is by looking at there name tag in game [Waterbender].

=================
MasterList Below
=================

- WaterMaster
- FireMaster
- ChiMaster
- EarthMaster
- AirMaster

Now Each of these groups are = to a Bending Element, remember this, its the whole main point I am trying to make, now here is a list of the MasterList again but this time showing you what they are equal to.

=================
MasterList Below
=================

- WaterMaster    = Waterbender
- FireMaster     = Firebender
- ChiMaster      = ChiBlocker
- EarthMaster    = Earthbender
- AirMaster      = Airbender

Those are the first level rank up Group Names.

The Second level rank up is at [White Lotus] On this level up they will get one more Element added to there list, adding them to the new group this for [White Lotus] is pretty much exactly the same as adding them to the Master list above, but I will write another in game example just in case.

======================
WhiteLotus List Below
======================

- WaterChief
- FireLord
- LordAmon
- EarthKing
- AirNomad


Now here is a list of the group names that are equal to the White Lotus Rank.

======================
WhiteLotus List Below
======================

- WaterChief      = Waterbender
- FireLord        = Firebender
- LordAmon        = ChiBlocker
- EarthKing       = Earthbender
- AirNomad        = Airbender


Now lets say a person has the rank [Wise Master] which comes before [White Lotus] Now this person is going to have a [Master] tag like [WaterMaster]
Now once this person hits [White Lotus] you are going to do the exact same thing as you did with the MasterList, here is an in game example


[Wise Master][WaterMaster].John   killed   [Firebender].Eric

[White Lotus][WaterChief].John   <-- His rank just changed because he reached the level he needed, now he is at the level up rank.

Now this is what you would do for John as an Admin, he either request his level up or you do it for him automaticly.

================================================

Admin.Jared : /manuadd John WaterChief BendPvP       <- This will add John to the Group WaterMaster.

Admin.Jared : /b add fire John                       <- This will add Firebending to Johns list of Elements, so he would have Water and Earth & Fire.



          AND OF COURSE LET JOHN KNOW THAT HE GOT FIRE ADDED TO HIS LIST BECUASE OF A LEVEL UP! <- This is important, because most people will not notice anything lol, so you NEED to let them know :P

================================================

Haha, I hope you are starting to get it :D Now Here is an entire Group List, and what elements to add to that group on a Rank/Level up.

And here is a quick review of what I wrote about Groups/Bending/Ranks - So, a person starts off with a normal bending element [Waterbender] and ranks up to [Young Master] in PVP, now we change that persons group to WaterMaster because he is a Waterbender who has Leveled up! After adding that person to there new Group we give them there new Element as well.. and its that simple really, don't worry I know it kind of looks a bit overwhelming, but I promise you guys are smart and you'll get it. :)



================================
Level 1 - Rank = [Young Master]
================================
   GroupName        Element           /b add ELEMENT

- WaterMaster    = Waterbender     +Add Element (Earth)
- FireMaster     = Firebender      +Add Element (Air)
- ChiMaster      = ChiBlocker      +Add Element (Water)
- EarthMaster    = Earthbender     +Add Element (Air)
- AirMaster      = Airbender       +Add Element (Water)

================================
Level 2 - Rank = [White Lotus]
================================
   GroupName         Element            /b add ELEMENT

- WaterChief      = Waterbender       +Add Element (Fire)
- FireLord        = Firebender        +Add Element (Water)
- LordAmon        = ChiBlocker        +Add Element (Earth)
- EarthKing       = Earthbender       +Add Element (Chi)
- AirNomad        = Airbender         +Add Element (Earth)

================================
Level 3 - Rank = [Young Avatar]   <-- Yes the young avatar group has an "a" before its name
================================
   GroupName           Element           /b add ELEMENT

- aWaterChief      = Waterbender       +Add Element (Chi)
- aFireLord        = Firebender        +Add Element (Chi)
- aLordAmon        = ChiBlocker        +Add Element (Air)
- aEarthKing       = Earthbender       +Add Element (Water)
- aAirNomad        = Airbender         +Add Element (Fire)
