Welcome, Stranglethorn Settler!

Here are a few simple Rules to keep the gods happy with us all!
(We encourage players to settle their disputes via roleplay or pvp methods)

Firstly, You are NOT allowed to attack anyone on their own claim without declaring a RAID/WAR prior to engaging in combat.

1. Global/Local
a. Spamming global OR local is prohibited. The gods hate spammers!

b. Roleplay is not mandatory but is very much allowed and encouraged.

c. Don't be a jerk: No overly bragging winners, No overly sore losers, No overly rude conversation.

2. Combat/PvP
a. Raiding must be announced in Global for all to hear (with no waiting time required AFTER the Raid Declaration and both parties online). Shout it loud for the gods to watch and may the dead dine with them!

b. War must be declared 30 minutes prior to combat and there must be a Roleplay Reason stated in the Global War Declaration and both parties must be online. After the 30 minute wait/prep period, Judgement Hour will be activated AND ONLY THE WARRING PARTIES ARE ALLOWED TO FIGHT OR LOOT ON CLAIMED PROPERTY. WAR MAY NOT BE DECLARED ON THE SAME CLAIM FOR 48-HOURS ALTHOUGH THE DEFENDING CLAIM MAY CHOOSE TO DECLAR WAR IN RETALTIATION WITHIN THE 48 HOUR PERIOD.

c. New Life Rule: DURING WAR: If you are killed in combat, you are not allowed to return to your site of death as a combatant or looter as long as you have the Resurrection debuff. Methods of removing or preventing the debuff are required (priest/healer), or the Resurrected player must wait out the 10 minute debuff length to return to the area of combat. If you are near the death site, you must either yield or be a clear non-combatant/non-looter with the Resurrection debuff. Continuous killing of Resurrected players is not allowed if they are yielding or if they have ceased fighting/looting.

d.RAIDING: When raiding another claim; you may ONLY loot the player's inventories in which you have either Killed, or knocked-out. Since JH will not be turned on for a raid, you are unable to loot buildings, and you WILL take a hit to your alignment. Also, you may not raid the SAME claim for a 24-hour period. This gives them time to recuperate from the last raid.

e. No glitching/floating objects. As a general rule of thumb, if it phsycially makes sense, then it's allowed.

3. Roleplay
a. No real-life cursing, racism, or sexism is allowed to be involved in roleplay. You may use in-game methods of these for Roleplay purposes but real-life rudeness is prohibited.

b. Meta-gaming is not allowed when trying to apply Roleplay to PvP and vice versa. For example: "Word around Stranglethorn is... you were meeting here to make a trade exchange. Hand the goods over." Is a good roleplay application if the trade was arranged in global but Steam or Private Messages of any sort are not applicable.
