rules

These are the rules.  For other matters, use common sense. If you violate
the rules you will be punished!  However, you'll get the chance to apologize
and to discuss your offence/punishment with a God or a law and order
Immortal.  Claiming ignorance to the rules will result in your level of
crime being upgraded by 1.  Type 'help penalty' for more information.

=============================================================================
[ 1]  Do not irritate the Gods.  Your presence here is a privilege, not
      a right.  Obey any orders from gods, and you will be fine.  Deletion
      does not require a reason, appeals are to be sent to the Implementors.
      Some of the things that irritate the Gods are: spamming,
      gossip-triggers, and (too) offending language on the channels.

[ 2]  Limited player stealing or player killing.  If you kill and/or steal
      too many, the Gods may send the Terminator to you or worse.

[ 3]  No kill stealing.  This means you cannot attack a mob someone else is 
      fighting, unless they ask you to. Also avoid attacking fleeing mobs.

[ 4]  Do not kill newbies and pets.

[ 5]  Sexual harassment of any form will not be tolerated, possibly
      punishable by deletion of your account (and in extreme cases possibly
      a site ban).  This is a *very* serious type of offence and will not be
      tolerated!  If a person asks you to stop, it usually means they do not
      want your attention and if they choose to report this to the gods, or
      the gods catch you in the act you will receive the *full* wrath of the
      law and order Immortals.

[ 6]  Sitting around idle with a client is hazardous to your health.  If we
      catch you doing it, you will be jailed. Do not leave your mudding
      client's auto-login feature running while you are busy elsewhere.
      Log off and come back when you are ready to mud again. Remember you
      are automatically disconnected after more than 15 minutes idle time.

[ 7]  No scripting.  Using a script language to play your character is
      forbidden.  Simple triggers are allowed, but scripts that repeat
      a loop of easy kills are not. Do NOT put gossip triggers in your
      triggers or you will be nochanneled.

[ 8]  No multiple logins, multiple playing, or helping your own characters
      with multiple logins!  If you decide to drop some equipment for
      another of your characters, you *must* drop them.  Once they are
      there, they are fair game for *anyone* who wishes to have them.

[ 9]  If you can't login, wait a couple of minutes before trying again.

[10]  Cheating will not be tolerated.  This includes accepting favors from
      gods and exploiting bugs.  If you find a bug, report it, then do not
      use it.  Do not use the bug to your advantage. If you are caught 
      cheating, you will automatically be subject to a level 3 punishment.

[11]  Changes to these rules are at the discretion of the high Immortals,
      and may be done without warning, notice, or even evidence of sanity.
      Walk softly, and carry a black stick.

[12]  These rules also apply to Immortals.  In addition to these rules
      Immortals have their own set of rules.  Type 'help god rules'.

[13]  If you are not sure about an act that you are about to do, consult with
      an Immortal preferably a law and order Immortal. They can advise you on
      the wisdom of the thoughts.  If you are ever in doubt and there are no
      Immortals on at that current time, do NOT do the act.

[14]  If you are not happy about the treatment you get from Immortals or
      other mortals, report it to a higher Immortal or the head of law and
      order by a personal message, please ensure you do not flood the
      either the note boards or the mail box of these supreme beings :P

[15]  Anything not covered by these rules and the god rules will be subject 
      to the Immortal handling the crime!

[16]  Any mortals found with equipment from an area that is not officially
      open for play will be punished under the level 3 law.  Player-testers
      are exempted from this rule.

[17]  Any member of a pkill clan may kill a member of another pkill clan.
      Killing someone from your own clan is considered illegal, except
      if you're a loner and will give you a KILLER flag. The two clans
      must also be at war with each other. see DECLARATION OF WAR and
      POWERLEVEL

[18]  Any member of a pkill clan may steal from a member of another pkill
      clan.  Stealing from someone from your own clan is considered illegal,
      except if you're a loner and will give you a THIEF flag. Your two
      clans must be at war. See DECLARATION OF WAR.

[19]  If you join a pkill clan, and someone either pkills you, or psteals
      from you, do not complain to the Immortals, or ask the Immortals to
      help you return your equipment or do a corpse retrieval for you, as
      they are forbidden from doing so. But remember, your two clans
      *must* be at war with each other. If this does not hold true, then
      you may appeal to the Clan Council for vengence!
