SERVER RULES

GENERAL RULES

1. Metagame: Metagaming is using OOC knowledge ICly. Punishment depends on severity.

1.2 Metabait: An example of metabaiting would be announcing your character's IC location on the OOC chat- it creates a lot of problems.

2. Powergame: Powergaming is when you force your actions on another player without giving them a reasonable chance to react. Powergaming of any type will cause the user to receive a warning and for the roleplay to be redone.

3. Mingegrabbing: If a player OOCly picks up items without using a /me they will lose the item and be given a warning.

4. Asspulling: Asspulling is creating *unreasonable* IC items out of thin air- for example, shanks that were not made ICly. If you want to have an IC item that is not represented by a script, and you are unsure of whether it constitutes asspulling, contact an admin first.

5. Exploiting, spamming, abuse of whitelist, etc. are against the rules. Use common sense.

6. Erotic roleplay is not allowed on the server. Take it to Steam.

6.1 Sexual aspects are not allowed in character descriptions.

7. An admin's word is final. Do not complain about a decision in global chat/OOC. If you have a serious issue you'd like to bring up, take it to the forums or private messages. Otherwise, you can be kicked/banned for shit-stirring.

CHARACTER RULES

1. All characters under the age of 18 must be approved by staff.

1.1 No characters under the age of 13 will be allowed.

2. Nobody is immune to reanimating after death, and nobody is immune to the lethal effects of a zombie bite.

2.1 If you are infected by a zombie bite, contact an admin. They will let you know what symptoms your character will experience, and will decide when your character succumbs.

3. You need permission from staff to make a character with a background that involves combat training, like police or military.

3.1 Special forces characters are banned. You may not have a special forces background under any circumstances.

4. You must apply or speak to an admin if you are creating a character with highly specialized skills, like a doctor or surgeon.

5. Bandit characters do not require authorizations. However, you should still speak to an administrator.

6. Genre blindness is in effect. You can still call them zombies, but don't ICly go "oh wow, this is just like Dawn of the Dead!"

DEATH & PERMANENT KILL RULES

1. If a character dies fighting against an IC rival with established reasons for animosity, they will be PKed. Similarly, a character that has sufficiently wronged someone, and is killed for it, will be PKed.

2. If a character dies during an event, they will be PKed. This includes being killed by player/admin-controlled event characters.

3. If a character dies after attempting to mug someone, or after attacking another player without cause, they will be PKed.

4. You will generally not be PKed if you are killed by a mugger (that is, a character that is trying to steal your items and doesn't have any other reason for attacking you). However, if you act negligently or fail to FearRP, you can still be PKed.

5. If all parties agree involved in a situation agree to a NLR, a PK can be voided, unless it has been heavily witnessed by bystanders or has a sufficient IC effect.

6. Being killed by NPCs is generally InjuryRP or NLR, unless a player is being overly brash/negligent when it comes to fighting NPCs, then they may be PKed.

7. Being killed in an S2K sequence is generally InjuryRP or NLR.

8. Being killed or infected by properly played, player-controlled zombies is a PK.

8.1 If a character is infected, they will be PKed upon death, no matter what (you can't escape infection via NLR).

8.2 If your character dies without brain damage, and you want to play them as a zombie, feel free to do so. However, you must follow the rules, and should notify an admin if you have questions about it.

9. Suicide is a PK.

COMBAT RULES

1. All combat is S2RP unless otherwise specified.

2. S2K can be called by an admin, or agreed upon by players. It must be initiated with a /me.

3. If a weapon is stored inside your inventory and not previously equipped you will be require to do a /me if taking it out.

4. PainRP and FearRP is required when appropriate.

5. Rolling/stats are applied unless all parties agree to P2L.
