AD&D DARK SUN: Crimson Sands
Rules of Conduct


THE CHAOS WORLD 

The Chaos World is for players looking for the challenge of a lawless 
environment where control resides with whichever players can seize it. 

The only rules for the Chaos World are those of the TEN Community 
Guidelines. Violations of these Guidelines (such as hacking, 
impersonating other players or groups, or excessively obnoxious or 
vulgar behavior) may result in a player losing his or her account on TEN, 
just as on any other part of the service. 


THE LAW WORLD 

The Law World is for players who desire a regulated environment where 
players cooperate so that everyone has a good experience. The Law 
World therefore has rules in addition to the TEN Community 
Guidelines. 

 Players who cannot play by the following rules will lose their access to 
 the DARK SUN - Law World, either for one week, or permanently. The 
 determination to block a player from the Law World will be made by 
 TEN based on feedback from staff and players. Eventually, a Player 
 Council may be formed to assist TEN in determining who should be 
 blocked. 

 Here are the rules: 

 1. DON'T CHEAT 

 Alt-Tabbing, Ctrl-Alt-Deleting (CADing), or disconnecting in order to 
 avoid combat or death is not allowed. 

 Duping items or exploiting game loopholes is not allowed. 

 2. STAY IN CHARACTER 

 Players should be careful about the public use of Out-of-Character 
 (OOC) dialogue. Players are expected to inform other players if their 
 OOC chat is disturbing them, and players should improve their dialogue 
 accordingly. (Players who complain too much will be asked to be less 
 sensitive to this issue.) 

 3. FOLLOW THESE PVP GUIDELINES 

PvP (Player vs. Player Combat) is ONLY allowed in the following two 
cases: 

A) It's in a PvP Region. If a region banner (the text which appears when 
you enter a region) says that the region allows PvP, then PvP is allowed 
for any reason. Most of the new 1.5 regions will allow PvP. Make sure 
to always check the banner when you enter a region because the PvP 
status may change. 

 OR 

B) It's Against a Villain. Villains, indicated by a & at the beginning of 
their name, may attack other players or be attacked by other players, 
regardless of region. (Villains are expected to add to the setting through 
role-play and judicious use of PvP. This symbol will only be given to 
players that staff believes can handle this responsibility.) 

HOWEVER 

Non-Combatant Players (#'s), indicated by a # at the end of their name, 
are not allowed to attack other players or be attacked by other players 
even in PvP Regions or against Villains. Oh, also, you're never attack a
a character with a * in front of their -- they're staff and are there to
help.


That's it ... pretty straight forward. If you have any questions, find an 
*Oracle in the game and ask.
