KOS
KOS, or "kill on sight", is the act of killing another player for no apparent reason and in a non-roleplay fashion. KOS is absolutely not allowed on our servers. This doesn't mean players can't kill each other though- whether its part of a fitting roleplay scenario, a robbery gone wrong or a retaliation to PVP instigation, there's plenty of times killing another player is ok.
It would be not considered KOS if there is a fair warning and a motive. For example: Player One warns Player Two that if they don't drop their gear within 10 seconds, they will be shot. Player Two refuses and is shot by Player One. It would also not be considered KOS if it is part of a fitting roleplay scenario, for example if a player has been captured by a group and refuses to give up some information so the group decide to execute him. This would be fair and within the rules because the victim knowingly had a choice to give up the information and live or to refuse and be killed, and in a roleplay fashion chose the latter. In the event of another player instigating hostility, retaliation is absolutely fine. In other words, if somebody attempts to rob you or KOS/shoot at you, it is perfectly acceptable to retaliate and attempt to kill them before they can you.
When is KOS ok?
Aside from the types of scenarios listed above, there are only 3 places where KOS is completely allowed with no limits on our servers:
-The dedicated KOS Zone, usually marked on the map and/or regioned with warnings.
-Any active base/base raid (This does not include random or clearly heavily abandoned structures, they do not count as bases)
-Any active airdrop location and vehicle event location.
Safezones
We have safezones set up on our servers, these places are a hostile-free place for players to converse, trade and run shops. When inside the safezone, players have godmode and cannot be harmed.
We have a few rules in place to help these safezones continue to be a central place for players to visit.
Safezone Grief and Abuse
-You may not camp outside the safezone and wait for players to leave to KOS/rob/act hostile towards them.
-Similarly, you may also not camp inside the safezone and attempt to kill other players who are outside the safezone.
-You may not grief the safezone. This is includes things such as destroying, carjacking or stealing players vehicles, or If you have building permissions, placing unwanted buildables and structures.
-Spamming of guns, microphones and stereos is also considered grief- so please don't do that.
Vehicles in safezones
-You may not leave your vehicles in the safezone while you are offline (Vehicles left in the safezone while the owner is offline will be destroyed immediately).
-as stated above, you must leave others' vehicles be
-It is appreciated if vehicles that are parked in the safezone are not obstructing roads or shops.
Shop owner rules
Owning a shop in the safezone is a responsibility trusted of you by the staff team. We have a few rules to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible.
-Shop owners must not build anywhere in the safezone that isn't part of their shop unless given permission.
-Shop storage is limited to different shop sizes, which are listed in-game at the safezone. Additional decorational items are expected to be provided by the player. Admins will only provide storage.
-Shop owners must not add additional storage that exceeds the limit for their shop (decor and furniture is fine)
-Shop owners are expected to use their shop as a shop and not a base to store personal belongings. They are also expected to keep to their general theme chose when applying.
-Shop owners are expected to be active in their shop. Inactive shops will be removed.
Combat Logging
Combat logging, or TP logging is the act of disconnecting or teleporting away in the middle of a gunfight or altercation to avoid being killed or being at a disadvantage. We do not tolerate Combat Logging on our servers.
Common Sense
Above all, there will always be gray areas regarding the rules, this is where the simple knowledge of common sense comes in, use it to determine whats best for a situation you're unsure of. Better yet, if you think doing something might be against the rules, it probably is- ask around preferably to staff members if you are unsure of anything.
Please note that every situation is different, and every admin's judgement is different- some admins may be stricter than others. If you feel you were unjustifiably banned or would like a platform to discuss your ban and get your side and points across, visit the ban appeals section of the forum.
