Jailbreak Rules
Regarding Ban Times
----------------------------------------
All Ban Times are not negotiable. If you were banned by the staff, your ban will not be removed or shortened. Our admins are trained to be impartial with all players regarding rules. If someone is breaking the rules, and the admins don't notice it, either make a report or use @ to contact an Admin in-game. If you were wrongfully banned and have proof, you may make an appeal in the Ban Appeals Sub-forum. If you were banned by accident, you will be unbanned; however, if an admin provides proof that you were not banned by accident, your time will remain the same. If you wish to see your current remaining ban time, connect to the server and it will notify you of when you will be unbanned.
----------------------------------------

*This list is not final and subject to change

Terminology
  1. KOS
    • Kill on Sight
  2. Freeze
    • Cannot touch WASD keys. Can free look with the mouse.
  3. AFK Freeze
    • Cannot touch WASD keys or free look.
  4. Vent
    • Breakable or enter-able place that works as an escape for prisoners.

General Rules
YOU are responsible for YOUR account

You and you alone should have access to your account on steam. If someone uses your account and they end up getting your account banned, it will not be lifted under any circumstances. Excuses such as "I was drunk" or "My brother did it" will not be accepted in a ban appeal.

Do not RDM

RDM (Random Death Match) or Freekilling is the act of randomly shooting a player with the intent of killing them without there being a reason to (i.e. Warden's orders, Loss of game, etc..).
If you are found to be randomly killing players in order to raise the kill level achievement, you will lose all your current points, both regular and premium, and be subjected to ban to a time of the admin's discretion.

Do not Ghost (Metagame)

What is Metagaming? Metagaming is relaying information to the players that are alive that they should NOT know. (i.e. A living player's location, their weapon, hp, etc..) Metagaming is not as serious of an offense but, if done in-game, will result in a mute/gag. Upon further instances of metagaming, kicks or bans will be issued. If we discover you are metagaming through a third party client, you will be issued a ban.

Do not hack

This one's fairly obvious... If you are caught hacking or using any exploits, the anti-cheat system will ban your SteamID permanently and your IP will be added to the blacklist.

Do not impersonate Admins

Also an obvious one. If you happen to just have a similar name, you will be fine. But if you pretend to BE an admin, you will be issued a ban with the length decided by the admin in question.

Game Rules
  1. First Day WarDay.
  2. Warden must have a mic and all orders must be relayed through voice chat. Any orders given through text chat do not count.
  3. The Warden must not make their voice hard to understand. These include but not limited to:
    • The Warden must speak with a clear voice.
    • The Warden must not speak extremely fast on purpose.
    • No voice changers.
    • No squeakers.
  4. The Warden may not give clearly contradicting orders in attempt to trick the prisoners. (i.e. If you touch the catwalk, you die. Now walk across the catwalk.)
  5. Do not Team Kill/Attack.
    • This rule may be exempted if the Warden's orders allow it. (i.e. a game or Hunger Games day)
  6. Guards may only kill prisoners in the following situations:
    • They are rebelling (disobeying the warden or attacking the guards.)
    • They have entered a KOS area.
    • They are delaying the game (AFK for more than one minute after orders are given).
    • They killed the wrong guard in an LR.
    • The guard is the last guard.
  7. The last guard out of three living guards from the start of the round may kill all but one prisoner so they may have LR.
  8. Guards may not give orders, they may only repeat orders the Warden has given.
  9. Guards may not gun plant (dropping guns for prisoners).
  10. Prisoners cannot be pardoned. Once a prisoner has rebelled, they are KOS.
  11. Only the warden may kill prisoners after they lose a game unless the warden says otherwise.
  12. The Warden may not use favouritism, meaning they cannot do anything that benefits a select prisoner or a group of prisoners.
    • This excludes Freedays from LRs.
    • The opposite also cannot be applied (the Warden may not do something that benefits all but a few prisoners.
  13. If there is one prisoner left, they cannot be killed and are given LR. If a guard kills them, they will be slain.
    • If there are multiple prisoners and they are all to be killed from a game, they must all be killed, none of them get LR.
    • If there is one prisoner left who has not rebelled and there are others on a freeday, the prisoners on a free day are KOS.
    • LRs are not given on Free days or Wardays.
  14. If the Warden dies, the rest of the day is a freeday, regardless of their orders or the game. All RDM rules come back into effect.
    • Exception is Warday and Hunger Games.
  15. If the cell doors are opened before the Warden gives an order, it is a freeday.
    • If a guard opens the doors without the warden telling them to, it is not a free day and the guard will be slain.
    • The Warden may not keep prisoners in their cell past the 6:00 mark. Otherwise the Warden will be slain.
  16. A last request may not involve the following:
    • Guards dying.
    • A replay of the previous day.
    • Free day for all.
    • Ranks.
    • Points.
    • Anything that breaks the rules.
  17. Healing may not be done during a LR. Healing must only be done in between LRs or before.
  18. The Warden may not repeat the same day in a row. (i.e. Freeday/Freeday, Warday/Warday, etc..)
    • Similar themed days may also not be repeated. (i.e. Warday/Freeday).
    • Games may be repeated.
  19. If a prisoner punches a vent, they are KOS. If they enter a vent, they are also KOS.
    • Guards may not break vents.
  20. Guards can not kill AFKs on Freedays, let the admins deal with them.
  21. Guards may not camp.
    • The last guard may camp if there were three or more guards alive at the start of the round.
    • Guards may not camp vents but may enter them to chase or look for a prisoner.
  22. Prisoners may only make custom LR's if Warden is still alive. Otherwise, an F4 LR must be used.
  23. No offensive sprays.

Common Games and Rules
  1. Simon Says
    • The game starts when the Warden says "Simon Says 'We're playing Simon Says'"
    • Any orders said afterwards must start with "Simon Says". If the prisoners follow the order and Simon Says has not been said, they are KOS.
    • Guards may not take part in giving orders unless the Warden explicitly says so using "Simon Says".
    • Simon Says is ONLY over when the warden says "Simon Says 'Simon Says is over'".
  2. First Reaction Last Reaction
    • All prisoners must AFK Freeze if anyone moves, they're KOS unless the action requires them moving.
    • When the Warden says "First Reaction", the FIRST prisoner to do what the Warden said will die. When the Warden says "Last Reaction", the LAST prisoner to do it dies.
    • If there are more than 2 prisoners playing and a tie occurs, the prisoners that tied are KOS.
  3. Hunger Games
    • All prisoners are allowed to grab weapons and must kill each other until there is one left.
    • Guards may not play.
    • Prisoners may not kill each other in the armoury within the first 30 seconds of Hunger Games. Prisoners may not camp the armoury, they will be slain.
    • If the Warden dies, Hunger Games continues.
  4. Warday
    • Prisoners are to enter the armoury and grab weapons. At the time stated by the Warden, all prisoners are KOS until all prisoners are dead or all guards are dead.
    • Prisoners CAN kill each other, but it is discouraged as there is no benefit.
    • Guards can camp, but they can not camp in the armoury.
  5. Freeday
    • Orders may not be given.
    • Once the Warden declares a Freeday, it can not be pulled back.
    • If a Warden takes Warden just to call a freeday, they will be demoted.
