Rules of Law
These rules apply to towns/nations within the server.
§ 1 - Follow Town & Nation Laws
§ 1 A
All players must follow the laws of the town or nation they are in, as long as those laws are reasonable and meet server standards.
§ 1 B
Breaking these laws may result in punishment by the town or national leadership. Arrests or punishments must still follow the server’s rules.
If you believe your punishment was unfair, you may appeal by opening a support ticket. If your appeal is denied and you still refuse to comply, staff may step in to enforce the punishment.
§ 2 - Enforcement of Laws
§ 2 A
Towns and nations may only enforce laws if those laws are accessible within the game. Laws cannot exist only on Discord or external platforms. Examples of acceptable posting methods:
A lectern with a written book.
Laws are posted on signs in a public area.
Map art that writes the rules onto an item frame.
§ 2 B
Residents must be informed of the laws when they join, and of any future law changes. This can be done through a book, a lectern, or another in-game method.
§ 2 C
Laws must be reasonable and easy to follow. Laws that are harsh, unclear, or unreasonable may be ignored and overturned by staff.
§ 2 D
Punishments must be fair and proportional to the offense. The default punishment is usually a fine (money or items), though alternative punishments may be approved. If a punishment is deemed excessive, staff may reduce or replace it.
Punishments can be handed out if an abuse of jail powers is found.
§ 3 - Rights of Residents
§ 3 A
Residents always have the right to appeal punishments if they believe a law or its enforcement violates server rules.
§ 3 B
If a staff member is from the same town/nation as the accused and is directly involved, they cannot participate in the appeal process to avoid bias.
§ 3 C
Breaking a server rule is handled by staff, not by towns. Town authorities must issue tickets for rule violations instead of punishing residents directly.
§ 4 - Outsiders
§ 4 A
Towns may also enforce laws against outsiders (non-residents) if the rules are fair and clearly posted, following the same standards as for residents.
§ 4 B
Recognized punishments for outsiders include:
Being marked as an outlaw
Being embargoed
Being permanently banned from becoming a resident
As an outlaw, being killed in the town where you are outlawed will lead to a 2-hour jail time. You cannot be attacked within the town where you are an outlaw upon becoming one.
§ 4 C
It is recommended that outsiders receive a warning first, as they may not know the laws. Outlawing should be only used for repeat offenses or serious situations.
§ 5 - Nations
§ 5 A
If a nation wants to enforce nationwide laws, those laws must be listed in every town within the nation.
§ 5 B
If each town under a nation has different laws, residents of one town count as outsiders in another unless the entire nation has a unified law code.
