Rules page
This page should be direct: the standards for roleplay, the community expectations, and the rules players are responsible for knowing before they jump into the server.
Read before play
The rules page should help people understand expectations before staff ever have to correct them.
Protect the RP
Most rules exist to keep scenes fair, believable, and enjoyable for everyone involved.
Staff can still override
Staff rulings and case-by-case decisions still matter when a situation is bigger than a bullet list.
Core rules
What players are expected to follow
No metagaming
Do not use out-of-character information in character scenes, investigations, or conflict.
No random deathmatch
Violence needs roleplay context, escalation, or a valid in-character reason.
No vehicle deathmatch
Do not use wagons or vehicles as weapons without a believable and valid roleplay situation.
Value your life
Play like your character's life matters and avoid reckless actions with no believable motive.
No fail roleplay
Do not ignore injuries, scene logic, restraints, or outcomes just because the game allows it.
No powergaming
Do not force actions on others or use mechanics in ways that remove their chance to respond.
Respect all players
No harassment, slurs, targeted toxicity, or behavior that makes the community worse to be around.
Follow staff direction
If staff intervene, pause the argument and follow instructions first. Resolve disputes through the proper channel.
Newspaper rule
The Discord newspaper channel is treated as in-character county news and can be referenced in roleplay.
Use common sense
If an action only works because it is a game mechanic and would make no sense in the setting, do not rely on it.
Be patient with support
Do not spam staff or tickets. Clear information and patience help everyone faster than panic does.
Keep this page useful
Rules pages are at their best when they are readable and concrete. If a player lands here angry, confused, or brand new, they should still understand what the server expects from them.
Read first, argue later
Players should know the baseline before they debate edge cases with staff.
Respect support flow
Tickets and staff channels exist so issues can be handled cleanly and with context.
Scene quality matters
Most of these rules are really about protecting the quality of shared scenes.
Common sense still applies
Not every bad decision needs its own rule if players are acting in good faith.
