3. OOC chat (keeping it spam free)
The Out of Character Chat (Both global and local, default key T and K) is there to exchange information or used to be used by staff to inform players.
You are always free to chat but keep it to a minimum, so it doesn’t interfere with the flow of the RP.
It is under no circumstances allowed to hold OOC discussions on the server, whatever topic it is. Take it to Steam, TS or to the forum instead.
You may not share IC information in the OOC chat, as it can be used for meta gaming.
Do not insult, curse, or try to offend people using the OOC chat.
Stay friendly or do not respond.
Do not lie in OOC chat.
4. Staff Chat
The staff chat is for communication with the players in the need of assistance.
Do not spam the Staff Chat with messages; The staff has read it and will come soon, but sometimes they are busy too.
Lies against staff members will not be tolerated and will be met with a ban.
5. Metagaming and powergaming
Metagaming, which means acting as if your character knows things that he can't know IC, is not allowed.
Shouting IC information in OOC is considered meta gaming.
Using the information you gained OOC in IC is considered meta gaming.
Using steam or any other medium or talking IRL to get knowledge about characters and using that information ingame is considered metagaming.
Powergaming, which basicly means that you act having IC'ly unrealistic powers or things alike that, in any way is not allowed.
Forcing things OOC that affect IC is considered Powergaming unless said otherwise.
Failing to value life above death for your character is also seen as powergaming in most sitiations.
6. Glitching and Exploitation of bugs

Those may not be used for personal gain.
Duplicating items, trading duplicated items or accepting duplicated items will not be tolerated. Doing so will result in a ban.

You may not take or kill horses that stand in stables or anywhere else when it is not yours, except with the approval from the owner or staff member.
8. Fighting
You may not just start slashing at one other.
OOC sparring or fighting is not allowed; that's where other servers are for.
Sparring IC is ofcourse allowed, but prepare enough food to heal yourself, as heals should not be given for that; and use wooden swords.
Always wait until you know that your opponent is ready. He might be still typing an emote or text. Warning him OOC'ly to stop typing if he wants to resist is allowed. If no reaction is given, go ahead.
If you emote an attack, then you also have to roll for its outcome.
It is not allowed to keep killing the opponent for looting his money.
Feint spamming should be kept to it's minimum.
Ambush is an attack to surprise and to caught your opponent off-guard. They do not require previous emote or OOC warning, however they can be only applied if your character has not yet engaged in an IC conversation with the opponent.
Be aware that if you attack someone, there is always the chance that your opponent might give you deadly injuries on which a CK might be enforced.
9. Wounds
Wounds have to be roleplayed; not roleplaying wounds is seen as powergaming.
Sharp weapons do lethal damage, even with spars. Use wooden weapons to avoid being killed in a spar.
Wounds can only be healed by surgeons, and even they can not heal everything.
The bigger the wounds, the longer you have to RP them.
Woundscale:
Bruises and small cuts. Would take an hour to heal if taken care of.
Light wounds and undeep cuts, as well as smashes of blunt weapons. Takes 6 hours to properly heal if wounds are treated.
Medium wounds and cuts. can heal in 1 days if treatment is given to them.
Heavy wounds and deep cuts. Takes two days to heal if the wounds are treated. If not treated, CK might be enforced.
Lost parts of the body. Death if not taken care of. If the body part is the head, treatment will even not help. CK might be enforced if wounds are not treated.
When there are no surgeons online, staying for 15 on a bed in the hospital can count as having the wounds treated.
OOC heal from Admin:
When a scene has to be redone, you could ask for a heal.
OOC sparring is not allowed and may not be a reason to ask for a heal.
IC sparring is allowed, but prepare your own food, as heals wont be given.

If you know on beforehand that you want to kill a certain character, ask an admin.
Also horses can be CK'ed.
