| Each server has it's own list of rules for a player to abide by. We may have gone overboard with the list, but we wanted to ensure the safety and enjoyment of each player without having to worry about people that harass you or just continuously try to kill you. If any of these were to come up, please take a screen shot of it (F2) and notify an Admin or Moderator immediately! Please note; All rules posted here will be applied to the forums as well as the facebook group! So please avoid breaking any of the rules on any channel. Also -- Griefing is sub-classified as Theft and Harassment depending on the depth of the problem. - Spoiler:
BLACKMAIL: Claiming to have evidence of a crime attempting to use it as leverage to get an individual to fulfill an agreement against that individual's will, regardless of whether its conditions are worldly or unworldly.
Initial Punishment: Week Ban
BLOCKING: Restricting a player(s) passage to any area or entrance. This includes but is not limited to blocking players against their will. When many players are blatantly contributing to blocking anyone's passage, individual warnings for each player contributing are not necessary.
Initial Punishment: Warning
Recurring Punishment: 1 Hour Ban
BRIBERY: Offering gold, services, or items in exchange for political support (clout); the demand of gold, services, or items to give political support (clout) or to carry out official duties.

All forbidden mod cases must be investigated and forwarded to a Moderator or Admin without exception.
FORGED EVIDENCE: Creating or modifying evidence that incriminates another player of a crime they didn't commit. With the exception of the one who sends the forged evidence initially, officials are considered exempt from this. Admin assistance may be used in determining false evidence.
Initial Punishment: 1 Month Ban
FORGERY OF AN OFFICIAL'S SIGNATURE: Using an official's signature without their permission.
Initial Punishment: 1 Hour Ban
Recurring Punishment: 3 Day Ban
HARASSMENT: A player's unwanted actions, as defined in the categories below, toward another player.
*The following is a checklist for evidence that would prove a player guilty of harassment. Each subcategory of harassment points to these pieces of evidence by number, indicated with a (*). This is simply a guide; harassment cases are not limited to these pieces of evidence as long as harassment is clear.
1) Initial instance(s) of harassment
2) A request from the victim to the subject to cease unwanted actions toward them (The victim must include the subject's full name in their request OR whisper it to them)
3) Continuation of said actions (for verbal player harassment, this must be of communication via a medium other than speech aloud or in whisper)
