§ Playing together

• Insults as well as racism will not be tolerated.
• PvP "trashtalk" is allowed as it stays banter and will be defined by staff when dealing with the issue.
• Try to remain friendly when talking to others.
• Staff (and their opinions) are to be respected.
• Scamming and artificial inflation is frowned upon.

• Excessive use of taglocks to troll other players will not be tolerated.
  • Taglocks may only be taken in the wilderness or YOUR claim
  • Excessive use will be defined at a latter date.
• No VooDoo poppets.
• I believe it should be:
• • Excessive use of taglocks to troll other players will not be tolerated.
    • Taglocks may only be taken in the wilderness or YOUR claim
    • Excessive use of a poppet is constant use within the period of an hour, or continuous sporadic use within a six hour time frame.
  • As of this moment VooDoo poppets are allowed. This is under consideration to NOT be allowed. Abuse of voodoo poppets will quicken this decision.

Teleporting Players against their will is not allowed and considered a Claim bypass and will result in a minimum 2 week ban from all of MyM

• This does not apply to a ritual from Blood Magic as long as the master ritual stone is inside your main base.

Let's face it. PvP is a major concept. Sure "community" is a big focus as anything. People come here to PvP, Not to build communities. PvP. Sure, a couple players don't enjoy it, but no need to get involved.

Shield/Cooldown feature when starting out, six hours for a new player to be unable to PvP/Engage in PvP unless they disable.

 

Voodoo poppets cn move players out of claims cant they

 

A skilled practitioner of Witchery with eye sight could easily maneuver someone outside of a claim. I have contemplated it.

 

The major issue I see with this is clarification - Why give the staff more issues of trying to clarify when it is "trashtalk" and when it is just plainly offensive, many people have different interpretations of what they class as acceptable, so I think in my opinion it is easier to keep the rule in place that overall you are just friendly, without the trash talk.

 

As this point half the current player base should be punished if we go by "polite" chat. There is ALOT of "trashtalk" or "inpolite" PvP talk going on.

 

But where do you draw the line, the issue with that is the amount of clarification that is needed, in situations like this it is either grey or grey, there is no black and white, therego making it almost impossible, some mods may find some terms offensive or go to far, whereas others many not

 

We already have this issue. What your attempting to describe as an issue, is not new.

 

So why exacerbate it, with saying "trashtalking", wouldn't you rather just leave the issue as it is, rather than trying to amplify it?

 

You misunderstand. It will happen it does happen. A vague rule is better than running amok.

 

Personally since this post is all about suggestions and opinions, my opinion is to just not allow it, I don't think we need the addition of allowing trashtalking, but that is one penguin's opinion =]

 

i like this idea

 

Wait wait wait, they made forcefully teleporting players to you so that you can kill them with a Blood Magic Ritual allowed? The hell?

 

wow

 

See you say that, and yes someone was just banned for that, but it now says it's allowed in the rules..

 

The blood magic ritual works as a defence, it does not kill people, you can teleport people out of your claim, but you cannot force teleport them out of their claim, there is further clarification on the rules post

 

Ohh, THAT ritual. Okay then.

 

I'd personally rewrite this as "You may use another player's teleporters, but they are not responsible for damage caused to you." This would still allow hunting players who hide in different places, but would also place no blame on the teleporter's owner if a bounty hunter were to somehow end up on the moon with no way back >:3

 

Yes

 

The problem with this is that you can screw someone over very easily with Mek teleporters. If you throw an item in, it gets teleported back and forth, an insane number of times per second, draining it's energy, and if they had it hooked up directly to their power supply, could completely drain that as well, and it also probably causes lag.

 

That sounds like a bug.
