Rules

**Remember that all stories must have a villain. Do not view aggressive players as assholes, or bad people. They are simply playing a role and it is up to you to find creative ways to deal with these threats. Seek the aid of others and pull your resources to defeat them. That being said, ALL parties involved in PvP are expected to follow all rules, and conduct themselves in a respectful manner.**

​

**We are all here to have fun and make a great story while playing a game. If you are not here to roleplay, or if you find that you are no longer enjoying your experience we ask that you please not ruin the other players experience by causing a scene, or throwing a fit in discord. Please peacefully leave, and find a server that fits your needs better.**

General

  • Admins have final say in all disciplinary decisions in-game, discord, and reddit

  • Racism, homophobia, sexism, trolling, and toxic behavior will not be tolerated. “Don’t be an asshole.”

  • Roleplaying non-consensual sexual encounters will not be tolerated and may result in a ban

  • No advertising for other servers. (This includes games other than Ark.)

  • Your character names, tribes, & backstories must fit the theme of the server.

  • Refrain from building “official” style box buildings after 2 weeks after server startup, or from time you join the server.

  • Hermits, god-like characters, magic users are not allowed. You must play characters that are reasonably likely to run into, and interact with the other players. (This is an RP server, get out there and meet people!)

  • In-Game chat (both voice, and text) must be kept IC (in character) at all times.

  • The use of meta information is strictly prohibited. If you are caught using this information you may be temporarily or permanently banned from the server and/or discord.

  • If you see meta being shared or acted upon, contact an admin immediately and provide screenshots of the offense if you are able.

  • There is a limit of 20 X-Plants are allowed. They must be inside the walls of your base and are not to be placed in the open

  • Tribe splitting:

    • Tribes are not allowed to split into multiple groups in order to cheat their way into more dinos than is limited by the server. (150 dinos in total, and 10 Apex)

    • Any tribes found doing this will be first given a warning, if warning is not acted upon the next course of action will be a banning.

  • Apex Dinos:

    • Tribes are allowed a maximum of 10 Apex level creatures

    • Apex dinos are as listed below:

      • Rex

      • Spino

      • Rock Drake

      • Yuty

      • Karkinos

      • Rock Golem

      • Tusoteuthis

      • Therizinosaurus

      • Mosasaurus

      • Megalosaurus

    • At no time are you allowed to have more than 10 claimed apex dinos. If you reach the max number and wish to continue breeding you must sell off some of them, cull them to bring you below 10, or otherwise dispose of them to maintain 10 or less apex.

    • 10 apex limit means a total of 10 apex creatures, not 10 of each apex creature.

General Continued

  • All conversations in discord must be OOC (out of character.) No in game information is allowed to be used in #general text chat, or any voice chat other than your tribe channels.

  • Tribe channels are only for your tribes eyes (and admins to make sure nothing is done that is against the rules) and IC information may be posted there.

  • The city on the center island is a NO PvP zone. There will be an inn called Safe Haven located here where players may logout without fear of being stolen from, or killed. If you logout outside of the inn your possessions are fair game.  

  • There is no admin involvement except for updating, and restarting the server

  • Do not ask admins for help in-game about getting dinos unstuck, teleporting, reclaiming structures or dinos, etc.

  • Foundation spamming is prohibited.

  • Tribes must have the first letter of their faction in their tribe name so people know at a glance what faction they belong to.

    • If The Enlightened is your faction then your tribe must be: Tribe Name [E]

    • If The Rot is your faction then your tribe must be: Tribe Name [R]

  • Land Claim:

    • Each tribe will be allowed to make a land claim within any ONE block on the map that corresponds to your allegiance.

    • To make a land claim you must mark on the map the location of your base, make a reddit post with the image and backstory of your tribe, and a list of members.

    • Any lands not marked inside the 8 boxes is open for use by any/all players. These lands have no raid protection and are considered open PVP zones (make sure to RP any pvp). This means attacks are a threat at all times by anyone. They can also be base wiped. Use these lands at your own risk!

  • Land Claim Wars:

    • Factions are tasked with fighting each other over land owned by the other factions. In order for one faction to be victorious in the endeavor (win the season) they must fight and defeat bosses.

    • Once the boss is defeated the King of the faction will choose one of the blocks to take control over. The King will place the bosses banner inside of their keep on display and another inside of a box nearby.

    • In order to take control of another block the faction must defeat another (different) boss. For each boss defeated the king will put that banner on display and place an extra in another box.

    • Once any 3 bosses are defeated and one faction controls all of the opposing factions squares they may mount an attack on the NPC town. If they are successful in the attack they gain control of the final piece of land and are the winners of the season. If the defenders are victorious they are not to be attacked again for 5 days.

    • A faction must make a reddit post of which boss they are planning on fighting, which tribes from the faction will be joining in on the fight, and which block will be taken if the fight is successful.

    • 3 tribes from the same faction must be present, and participate in the fight against the boss for the fight to count.

    • Once a boss is defeated the other faction may not fight the same boss again. The participants of the fight will present the King with the banners won during the fight.

    • The King will plant the banner in their base with an extra banner in a small storage box next to the banner. If the other faction wishes to fight the boss which has already been defeated they must destroy the corresponding banner that has been erected, and steal the spare banner. Once stolen and presented to the other King that boss becomes available for attack again.

    • If that boss is defeated the faction will regain control of the land lost by the other faction. A reddit post must be made the same way as if you were defeating a boss for the first time.

    • The winning faction must wait 4 days before they are allowed to move into the new lands won. This will give players time to get their stuff moved in a timely manner.

    • The people that are in the land claim being taken must move their bases. If you chose to stay you leave yourself available for open attack by the other faction. Up to and including base wiping. (Base wiping is ONLY allowed in zones that no longer belong to your faction, or are not included in the squares/rectangles)

Raiding

  • Raids must have an rp reason for being carried out, and cause as little damage as possible while achieving your goal.

  • Acceptable RP reasons for raiding: Theft, assassination, kidnapping, extortion, information gather, etc.

  • Serious, or lasting damage may only be dealt as part of war.

  • Base wiping, dino wiping, resource wiping, etc are considered serious/lasting damage.

  • If the player is not present at the time of the raid, the raider must leave an RP friendly note behind for the victim to follow up on. (see above for details)

  • All boats have protection from being sunk. This does not mean that they cannot be raided. You may break into a boat and steal from it. You are just not allowed to destroy it.

Open World PvP

  • PvP is permitted and encouraged on this server. KoS is discouraged but is not against the rules as long as it is done on your races island.

  • All PvP should have some kind of RP between the parties involved.

  • If you raid another player you must leave a note, or some form of information behind that the victim can use to search for the culprits.

  • This does not mean leave a note saying “Hello, my name is John Smoke and I stole your stuff.” What it does mean is that you leave a note with some kind of detail that may or may not lead back to you. Say your tribe primarily uses black dye for your clothing you can leave a note that looks like this: “You find a swath of black fabric stuck to the hinge of a chest.” This does not directly identify you but lets the player know to be on the lookout for anyone wearing black.

  • Kidnapping and holding players hostage is allowed, and even encouraged; however, no prisoner is to be kept for longer than 48 real-time hours without the expressed consent of the other player for RP purposes.

  • Base Wiping is only permitted under very specific circumstances.

    • Players base is located in land that has been taken over by another faction​

    • Players base is not located inside of the 8 squares as shown on the map

War

  • Wars are large-scale rp/pvp battles between two or more tribes. These events must have clearly defined terms and conditions for winning, and losing.

  • Wars are meant to be collaborative between all sides. Negotiations must be done in game using the War hall found in Heros Mile.

  • Terms and conditions can be anything that all sides agree upon. Limited dino usage, full on war with mass forces, or off and on skirmishes, etc. Win conditions can be last player standing, when one side surrenders, when the last rideable war dino is defeated, etc.

  • Terms should also include how players will interact with each other after war has concluded. (i.e. no hostilities for a set time, continued hostilities but on a lower scale, the hostilities come to an end, etc.)

  • To declare war all parties must meet in game at neutral ground (The city in the center will be the meeting place for all such needs) to discuss terms and conditions.

  • While on neutral ground no overt PvP may take place. Name calling, and jeering are allowed however.

  • Once terms and conditions are agreed upon no battles may take place for 48 hours leading up to the war.

  • Only pvp allowed between the involved parties before the war is if players are found on the enemies land, or other islands but may not extend beyond that encounter
