- Alot of rules are able to bend or simply loophole them, that's why I'm makking this new ruleset and discussion on TaleWorld, it will improve everytime there has been discovered a better rule in the dicussion below or a person looholed his way around, thus it will be editted aswell.
The origal planner of this topic was made on the Oasis forums by a retired Head Admin named Master, since the disucussion there has come to an end and the ruleset won't be used by any chance I'm making a new and better one, that will be editted everytime and up to date.
This ruleset is ment for the server Oasis and it's owner Connor, copy right is not ment for anyone else but them, if still copy the base of this rule-set it will be reported.
This is not the final form, nor will it end devolping.
One below has been copy-pasted from Master and editted here and there by myself, if you find any grammar mistakes or anything like that, please let me know.
- 1. RDM (Random death match):
You must have a valid kill reason, listed below (war, kill reasons etc.)
These phrases aren't seen as insults:
Noob
Idiot (depends on the situation and context)
Beginner
You're bad at *Something*.
Examples of kill reasons:
They have insulted you in local chat.
They have stolen your items or loot. (No-loot demand required - see looting rules) Note, Loot is defined as armor or items which were gained through a kill on a person who had it.
Horse thievery (Screenshot/Video required).
You are at war.
A player has kicked/punched you 2 times.
They have ignored the "no-loot" demand prior to items being looted from the ground, including corpses.
You have been threatened by a person with a weapon. (Proof required E.G. Screenshot/Video).
They are destroying/stealing your property. (Screenshot/Video needed).
They are interfering in your war (Screenshot/Video needed).
You are kicked from a faction (You can attack the lord who kicked you from the faction).
The lord of a faction can attack someone who tries to vote a new lord (The player who makes the poll not the guy being voted to lord).
They have given you any demand (valid or not) and threatened you with death.
You can kill the guy who put an assassination contract on your head if you manage to find out who did (through in game roleplay)
Being given the demand to leave an area/ room/ building.
Be aware:
You can't tell someone to leave land they/thier faction own(s).
You can't tell someone to leave the map/ server.
Kicking someone off of a bridge/high building or anything like that and he takes damage is considered RDM.
KoS may only be declared by a faction's lord when a member in the faction, or someone from outside the faction is harassing by not following orders, such as opening/lowering gates when told not to (Screenshot required!)
When demanding someone to leave, you will need to be specific of what to leave and state his name/faction ex. "Leave the castle land Conner".
2. NDK (No-Double Killing):
When a player has been halted, and all demands properly followed, they cannot be rehalted by the same faction/player for at least five minutes, common sense being used.
3. Help Rule:
Outlaws can only be helped by other outlaws. (Faction members and Commoners cannot help outlaws even if they ask for help)
Players may only call for help in local chat. (Note - Calling for help out of game, via TS, Steam chat, or anything that cannot be proven by in-game logs, will not be counted as a valid call for help)
Members of the same faction are not required to call help (Note - this means in the same in-game faction, such as black faction. Using similar or clan tags, such as "Lannisters" does not count if the players in question are in separate factions.)
You can't have a kill reason for something out of the game, such as on TeamSpeak, the fourms, or things not related to Persistent World.
Note:
You can't have a kill reason for something out of the game, such as on TeamSpeak.
You can't call for help outside the game.
4. Impersonation:
You may not pretend to be someone which you are not, for instance pretending to be an admin whilst you are not, or having official faction tags equipped when you are not in that faction.
5. NRR (No revenge rule):
You may go back to your own body and loot your gear, but must not initiate any form of hostility for at-least 10 minutes after your death, this includes if he's attacking your faction members, If the killer demands "no-loot" prior to loot being recovered, then you must obey this and not loot.
5. War zones:
You may not simply kill players for being near a warzone. It is the responsibility, as the combatent, to make sure you're killing the correct players. (I,e. There is no excuse for any player to run up to a commoner, claim "warzone" and club him multiple times.)
All such complaints made on players killing noncombatants will be admin discretion. (I,e. A mis-shot from a bow versus a player beating a third party to death with an iron club over multiple hits).
The following are exceptions to the warzone rule:
Doctors may be killed on sight, regardless of faction, if seen healing an enemy faction member.
Looters can be killed on sight inside the warzone.
6. War rules:
When declaring a war you need to clearly state three times in the chat that you are declaring on the given faction, prior to declaring the war.
The attacking faction must make valid attempts to capture the enemies' castle, if the the faction who declared make no attempt to capture/siege the enemy castle within 15 minutes of declaring the war may be deemed as illegal, repeated breach of this rule may result in the perpetrator being banned.
You cannot war a faction which has no land.
War can't be declared on the Outlaws or Commoners.
The defending faction may redeclare after peace even if 70% is not at the mercenary camp, redeclaring must happen in less than 15 seconds.
You may not redeclare a redeclare.
Note:
Atleast 70% of your faction's men must be either located at your castle or at the mercenary camp - If you have no land you must locate your men at the mercenary camp.
You may not declare war if you have faction members or banners, inside of the enemy castle(s).
Default wars (created after server reset/restart) are not considered war, killing someone because of it is RDM.
All banners from the declaring faction must be inside your own castle, or at the merc. camp.
After a war has finished there needs to be a 15 minute peace between the factions that had war.
The only exception is that if an ally of yours (Stated with A://*faction name* in your factions' name) gets into war.
7. Combat logging:
You may not logout during an hostile situations, such as you are being chased, you are being robbed, you are being taxed, you are in a warzone, you are being demanded, regardless valid or not.
Combat logging because you feel someone broke a rule is still considered combat logging even though the other person broke a rule.
After combat, you must wait 3minutes to safely log out with no rulebreak being committed.
8. Demanding:
You must give somone 10 seconds to comply with a demand.
Demands such as "Stop hitting me" me or "Stop insulting me" must be followed, otherwise the player has a kill reason.
For instance when an player enters your faction's castle, you may demand him to leave.
You may not demand something which the other player can't do,such as leaving the server, drowning himself, to jump off a wall, or do anything that results in death/damage to be taken with following your demand.
You may not demand someone not to speak.
You may not demand someone to insult another player/faction etc.
Note:
If a player has complied with demands, he may not be killed.
If demands are are complied to, the robbery is over, and the player may move again - the halt demand only lasts for the period of the robbery/demands.
9. Looting rule:
If you kill someone, anyone looting that body may be killed as long it is within a 1 minute time frame from the initial death. Attacking a player after the 1 minute has passed for looting is considered randoming if you have not stated "No Loot"
Dropping items/money/etc with the sole intention of calling no loot to kill others is prohibited. Players caught doing this will be punished accordingly.
10. Halting:
When halting you need to say the name, eg. "Halt Conner". If you just say "Halt" it is invalid.
When you are being halted by someone, you have a kill reason on the initiator of the halt.
You must either halt every single member in a group, or you can halt by faction name eg. "Bohemia's halt!".
Halting grants a kill reason to the player/faction being halted.
11. Robbery:
Item robbing (such as armor, weapons and horses) is limited to outlaws only.
Factions can rob any faction for 100% of the money pouch, but not for items
You cannot rob someone of something they do not have. (e.g. If the person displays a pouch containing 500 gold you cannot tell him to drop 1000).
Robbing using animations is invalid.
Take note:
A Players, be them faction members or Outlaws, may not call for help when they initiated the robbery.[/b][/u]
12. Imprisonment:
You may only imprison someone for less than 10 minutes, unless the player being imprisoned agrees to stay longer.
You may ransom players within the 10 minutes, but if nothing is paid, it's not a kill reason.
Note:
Slavery is not allowed. Meaning, you may not force a player to train another class, such as serf, and force them to perform certain actions, such as mining, under threat of death.
13. Exploiting glitches/bug abusing:
