We are a 18+ community.
General Rules:
1. No heated debates about politics or ideologies. It doesn’t make for an interesting ooc, and this is a chill group, and it just causes arguments.
2. No OOC discrimination, same as above.
3. If there is an issue, please talk to an Officer. It is better to get it sorted out, than let it fester.
4. Check the pins for important information regarding the room that you’re in.
5. Don’t @.everyone unless it’s an important announcement.
6. Refer to people as their character name to avoid confusion.
7. Keep ERP out of public channels, anything explicit should be kept to private messages. We’re fine if you fade to black and continue in the PMs. (Also, goes without saying, but don't post porn or NSFW images.)
8. Take responsibility for those who you invite.
9. Do not advertise other servers.
10. Capturing Workshops is reserved for factions as a whole, not individual characters.
11. There are no stats in this roleplay, but we do use dice rolls (1d20) for especially difficult actions.
12. Do not make any overpowered characters or powergame/metagame.
13. The GM's word is final.

PVP and PVE Rules:
1. Value For Life - We assume that creatures are a lot harder to deal with than as represented in the game. A Deathclaw can open Power Armour like a tin can. A ghoul's scratch can infect and kill. A Scorchbeast can turn you into a Scorched unless otherwise inoculated.
2. New Life Rule - In combat, if you are killed, you do retain memory of the battle itself. However, you are not to engage with the same opponent for 30 minutes after you are killed. This is seen as time to escape, and to begin licking your wounds. If you are injured in roleplay, please roleplay the injury for an appropriate amount of time.
3. Permadeath - Only YOU can perma your character. However, we don't intend to throw consequence into the wind, and thus - actions must have consequences. If an admin feels that value for life has been neglected (i.e, you try to fight a Deathclaw with a switchblade). Permadeath is a very real and probable outcome. Once a character has been permakilled, there is no way that the character can be brought back. Synths won't be made for 127 years.

About Rule 11: this applies to actions like lockpicking, looting, hacking, and so on. The parameters depend on the GM's discretion, but for simple actions it may be less ambiguous (e.g. when looking for an item, its existence in the area might be defined as 1-10 = no, 11-20 = yes.) This is subject to common sense restrictions. As we like to joke, without a luck stat of 100, you are very unlikely to find a Fat Man launcher in a kitchen drawer.

About new, player-made factions: This probably mostly applies to Raider gangs, but really any faction not outlined in the document above. The main parameter is that the factions make sense in the context of Fallout's world, themes, and aesthetic. While we do have dieselpunk Mad-Max style Raider gangs, it wouldn't make sense to have Raiders who wear real-life 80s fashion with perms and legwarmers, or Raiders with fidget spinners who 'dab on haters,' and so on. Make sure to run new player-made factions by the GMs first. We enjoy creativity and consistency in our Fallout RP.

PVP Rule #2: This rule basically incorporates in-game 'death' in an RP context. The idea is that when you "die" in-game during PVP or PVE but in an IC context, your character is not dead (unless you want to be perma-dead, of course, which has its own consequences outlined in rule #3). Instead, your in-game 'respawn' is your character becoming injured and escaping to live another day. This is usually when you suffer IC injuries as opposed to what you would receive just from your health bar being depleted.

This is subject to limitations and the GMs may bestow injuries on your character regardless of your status. Additionally, it can be difficult to wriggle out of certain circumstances. If your character is in a flat field and got shredded by a deathclaw while wearing no armor, or a (hypothetical) ICBM got dropped directly on your head, it is more than likely that your character is permadead. Be careful out there in your IC adventures!
