This mud, like most others has a set<br /> of rules that it asks it's players to follow. These rules<br /> can not cover ALL of the guidelines, so use your common sense.<br /> If you see that something is not in the rules, but you think it<br /> is something that should be, DON'T LOOK AT IT AS A LOOPHOLE! Look<br /> at it as an additional guideline. The admins here ( level 1000 and up )<br /> do not have the time to write a complete rules file that covers every <br /> little rule that will ever exist. If we did, you would probably not <br /> read it anyway... So, in closing, please use your common sense..<br /> I don't want to hear anyone say, &quot;It wasn't in the rules, so I figured<br /> I could do that.&quot; If it seems illegal to you, then it is.<br /> <br /> <br /> If you can not follow these rules, then please mail an admin, and<br /> have your character removed from the game.<br /> <br /> ==Cheating==<br /> Cheating is a very serious offence. It will not be tolerated.<br /> This is a list of things that would be considered cheating. Just because <br /> something is not listed here, does not mean it is legal.<br /> <br /> ===Reporting bugs===<br /> If you find a [[Bugs|bug]] in the game, do not abuse it. Inform an admin<br /> and they will take care of the bug. If you are caught using a bug,<br /> to your advantage, or to another players advantage/disadvantage, action<br /> will be taken against you.<br /> <br /> If you hear of, or see someone cheating, tell us. If you keep it hidden,<br /> you are as much at fault as the person who actually did the cheating,<br /> and action will be taken accordingly.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Wizard help===<br /> If a wizard offers to help you in any way, please report him to me, <br /> or another admin. If it was an admin who offered, report it to<br /> a god. If you accept the help, then you are as much at fault<br /> as the wizard.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Quest info===<br /> DO NOT give out any info about the quests. Many of you know the quests,<br /> but if someone asks you, don't give out the solutions, or even hints. <br /> Hopefully, there will be some new quests coming soon, so everyone will<br /> have to start fresh. If any info is given out, both parties will be <br /> at fault. If neither you or another player have done a certain quest<br /> before, then you are welcome to join together to solve it, as long<br /> as neither party has any prior knowledge of the quest. The downfall<br /> to this, is only one player will get credit for the quest.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Double logging and character sharing===<br /> Only one character allowed on at a time. Being linkdead counts as being<br /> on. One, all, or some of your characters can be removed if you are<br /> caught with more than one on at the same time. The only exception to<br /> this are administrators. An Admin can have his Admin on, and one<br /> other character on.<br /> <br /> DO NOT play another player's character, or let someone else play<br /> yours. Both parties would be dealt with in this case.<br /> <br /> If you dealt with a wizard over a problem, and didn't like the response,<br /> don't try shopping around to other wizards until you get a better response.<br /> If for some reason you need to talk to another wizard about the same <br /> problem, be sure to tell the other wizard about your dealings with the<br /> first wizard.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Clients==<br /> You may use a client for highlighting. That's about it. Most<br /> clients let you set aliases from within the client itself. This<br /> is allowed, but these aliases may not work on triggers (a trigger<br /> is an alias that goes off whenever a certain thing happens.. for<br /> example, every time you see '* died' it would 'eat corpse' 'get<br /> all'. THIS IS NOT ALLOWED). Bots are also illegal.<br /> <br /> Macros (anything that lets you send multiple commands at one<br /> time) are also illegal for use in wars. Pking, the other player v player<br /> interaction, uses the same rule set.Also, no matter what you call it, if something allows you to gain <br /> experience while you are not at the terminal, it is illegal.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Player killing==<br /> Summoning to aggressive monsters is ILLEGAL. Under no circumstances, can<br /> you summon another player to an aggressive monster on the mud. This does<br /> not hold true for wars. This does however include summoning to Aggressive <br /> zones, where the first room a person moves into they die. This rule is<br /> extended to putting aggro NPCs in common areas, like shops. We have<br /> aggro NPCs who follow, and from time to time they get out and kill PCs<br /> but doing it to grief is not allowed.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Communications==<br /> There are several means on Tsunami of communicating with<br /> other players on the game. These can easily be abused.<br /> Some forms of communication that are unacceptable:<br /> <br /> *Excessive use of profanity on public forums channels. This includes shouts and class conversations. Shouting an occasional 'FUCK!&quot; when you die is ok, its when that becomes &quot;You cock-sucking little asshole! I'm gonna come rip your dick off of you you prick!&quot; that it becomes a -TAD- out of line, and will be dealt with by the punishment rules laid out.<br /> *Impersonating or attempting to impersonate a wizard is confusing to players and is not allowed.<br /> *Repeat messages for sole use to be annoying, or to distract a player for a short time is forbidden. Anyone caught doing this will be dealt with accordingly by the outlined punishments.<br /> *Not everyone playing has high-speed connections, so to make the game fun for all, a limit of 4 lines for shouts will be enforced. anthing more will be considered 'spam', and will be dealt with accordingly.<br /> *Any form of harassment is considered illegal. This includes, but is not limited to repeatedly attempting to communicate with someone who has made it clear that such communications are unwelcome.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Wars==<br /> Every so often, there is a war on Tsunami. The mud will be shut down, and will re-open with the war loaded. The same rules apply during wars, so don't tell us that you 'thought that was allowed in wars'. <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Wizards==<br /> When someone has gotten the required experience and solved the required<br /> quests, they may become a wizard. To do so, go to the explorers<br /> guild, and type 'advance'. This does not make you a wizard, but it<br /> tells us that you have finished all the required things needed to <br /> become one, and you would like to be a wizard. You will then be made<br /> a wizard, if everything is in check.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Crashes==<br /> If the game crashes, we apologize. We will not reimbursed anyone for<br /> lost equipment, or lost money. Just remember, everyone who was on is<br /> in the same boat. If we see that the game is about to crash, we will<br /> give as much warning to the players as we can.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Punishment==<br /> If someone breaks one of the rules specifically written here, or<br /> in one of the other rules files, there will be no warning given.<br /> <br /> If someone breaks a rule that is not specifically written here, or<br /> in one of the other rules files, but the rule is common sense, and<br /> a retarded chimp would know not to do it, then no warning is given.<br /> <br /> If a player or wizard does something that is debatable, whether or not<br /> it is legal, then the admins will discuss it, and handle it appropiatly.<br /> <br /> A general outline of the possible punishments:<br /> <br /> :*1st offense - Experience/Money penalties<br /> :*2nd offense - Temporary banishment<br /> :*3rd offense - Not-so-temporary banishment<br /> :*4th offense - Permanent removal of ALL of your characters<br /> <br /> <br /> ==In summary==<br /> Like it has been stated, this is not etched in stone. This is only a possible<br /> outline of what can happen if you are caught cheating. Each case will be<br /> dealt with separately.If everyone abides by these rules, everyone can have a fun time playing,<br /> and killing here on Tsunami. Thank you for taking the time to read this.</div>
