Well done, you've found the Rules! You're gonna read them right??
THIS IS NOT AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST. RULES CAN CHANGE ROUND BY ROUND. IF IN DOUBT, ADMINHELP BEFORE YOU ACT.
1. Ensure your name is sensible, preferably with a forename or surname or an honorific title and surname (but we do like a [b]good[[/b] pun name). Please put a capital at the start of it otherwise byond gets a bit odd. Do not be stupid and name yourself something like "Syndicate Operative #3" or anything similar, or chances are you'll just end up dead quickly.
The Goonservers are light roleplay servers. Serious/hard RP is not required but Weedgoku420 will find himself in space very quickly. Please avoid metagaming where possible. For the love of all things holy, don't use racist or offensive names!
2.Don't murder, injure or excessively harass other players unless you have been given permission to do so by an admin. However, a traitor, syndicate, changeling, vampire or other antagonist may kill whoever they want for any or no reason. (even other antagonists!) If you are not sure if you are one of these things, adminhelp.
Antagonists may be killed or harmed if they clearly are a bad guy, (e.g. waving a sword around while shooting people) don't kill someone just because you 'think' they are a traitor. don't be a vigilante where you can help it.
3.No racism, anime, anime smilies, furries, memes, whining, spamming, advertising, or creepiness. Even "ironically" or "roleplaying" it. Memes from the internet will likely get you gibbed - "moar" "over 9000" "I can has toolbox" for example. Don't do it, even ironically. Racism and homophobic comments - “Dr. Kay is such an insufferable faggot” – will get you almost immediately banned, even if you are of ethnic origin or homosexual yourself.
Don't mention how much you love cartoon horses. Don't spout pop culture references. Don't talk about Rape. Don't talk about your genitalia. It's not hard is it?
4. NEVER act on what happened during previous rounds in the current round. if Jimmy toolboxes you or kills you, don't immediately kill, injure or harass Jimmy in the next round. Don't hold a grudge against someone for something they did to you. Revenge killings are highly frowned upon.
If you think someone is holding a grudge against you. Adminhelp it with evidence!
5.Follow instructions given by admins, and answer any questions asked by them. When PMed by an admin, click their name to respond. Do it quickly. Don't ignore admin PMs or log off when being PMed by an admin. it's not a good idea to insult the admins in your response.
6. Don't y 'test' random or dangerous things on people without their consent. (see rule 2)
7. Don't be creepy, offensive or racist on the OOC channel.
8. Don't tell the admins what to do, or demand that they do things. Don't argue with admins decisions. If an admin tell you not to do something, don't do it! The rules list is not a comprehensive set. Don't dispute the rules or complain about bans. Furthermore, do not act like an admin if you are not one.
9. [b]Never[/b] log in with more than one BYOND account during one round. If you die in that round, you must not use another computer or account to log back into the server and play a new charector
10. If something bad happens to you, adminhelp it. Do not OOC it. Admins receive all adminhelps in the IRC channel, and will respond when they can. Sometimes there simply aren’t admins around. Getting really mad about this will not end well for you. If you see a rule being broken, adminhelp it with full information - "Mark Henry is killing James in hydroponics" will likely be investigated. "zomg makr herni is griffing me" will not be. Don't spam adminhelp, and wait patiently for a reply.
11. Type words properly - For example, "you" instead of "u", "your" instead of "ur". You may be gibbed or removed with no warning for even one slip up.
12 .Do not start dumb religions or form cults of personalities around one player, especially not the Clown. Starting assistant "revolutions", when you are clearly not actual Revolutionaries and if it's not even a Revolution round, is strongly discouraged. The rules list is not the be-all and end-all. Admin discretion will be exercised.
