Server Rules

• Swarming: This is the act of bombarding a player with rapidly posted emotes in an attempt to restrict or deprive their opportunity to respond effectively.
• Burying & Concealing: You may not deliberately bury important actions inside long, unclear, or confusing emotes in order to obscure your intent or gain an unfair advantage.

Carried long-arms should be equipped and visible on your character's person or horse. You may portray having minor flavour items that do not feature in your inventory, such as family photographs, letters, or keepsakes where they do not provide an advantage.

Players being searched, robbed, detained, or otherwise inspected must roleplay their carried items honestly based upon the search conducted by another player. If the searching character is checking your characters pockets, be honest and realistic about what would be contained within. You may not claim that items are hidden in unusual or awkward places unless this was clearly roleplayed before the search began.

When a character is using the /mask system, their nameplate is concealed and they should be treated as unidentified unless your character has a legitimate in-character reason to recognise them through believable in-character details, such as distinctive clothing, body type, accent, mannerisms, horse, weaponry, prior knowledge, or investigative work. This recognition must be reasonable.

New Roanoke allows the portrayal of difficult and uncomfortable themes appropriate to the period, including prejudice, social inequality, and discriminatory attitudes. These themes must remain strictly in-character. A character’s clothing, language, weaponry, and general presentation should be reflective of the period.

• Consensual Sexual Roleplay: Sexual roleplay is a limited theme that is allowed when the following conditions are met:
  • Prior written OOC content must be sought and obtained from all players involved whether they are active participants or can simply see the chat.
  • This kind of roleplay must only be conducted in private or secluded areas where it is reasonable to think that you are unlikely to be discovered unintentionally.
  • Any player reserves the right to withdraw consent at any time. In such instances, it is expected that players ‘fade to black’, skipping any further sexual or erotic roleplay and re-commencing roleplay from a point in time where sexual intimacy has concluded.
• Verbal Sexual Harassment: Ordinary flirting, suggestive remarks, compliments, and romantic advances are allowed, however these become limited themes when the character knowingly persists or escalates after clear rejection.
  • Prior written OOC consent IS required where the roleplay involves repeated romantic advances after a character has clearly rejected them.
  • Physical sexual harassment or sexual assault is a prohibited theme and cannot be depicted under any circumstance.
• Prostitution roleplay: Prostitution roleplay is a limited theme that is subject to the same restrictions as ‘Consensual Sexual Roleplay’ as above, with the added restriction that…
  • This is only permitted where all involved parties understand the nature of the roleplay so that consent is informed.
• Slavery references: New Roanoke is set in 1885 and does not whitewash the historical reality of slavery, racism, or oppression.
  • Reference to slavery is permissable in backstories or casual reference only.
  • Active slavery is a prohibited theme and cannot be depicted under any circumstance.
• Torture of Humans: Torture of Humans is another limited theme that can only be roleplayed when the following conditions are met.
  • Prior written OOC content must be sought and obtained from all players involved whether they are active participants or can simply see the chat. This consent must be informed, which is to say that spectators and victims should be made aware of the methods that will be used.
  • The victim reserves the right to withdraw consent at any time. In such instances, it is expected that players ‘fade to black’, skipping any further torture roleplay to an agreed outcome and re-commencing roleplay from a point in time where torture has ended.
  • The victim should have some agency in that if they are only comfortable with being tied to a chair and beaten, then this is all that may occur.
  • Gruesome injuries remain a limited theme and so consent must be sought and obtained for gruesome injuries to be graphically depicted by all involved.
  • Powergaming rule 3.4 Forced Permanent Consequences still applies. It is for the victim to decide how permanent the extent of injuries obtained is.
• Gruesome Injuries: The detailed depiction of serious and graphic injury is a limited theme. Not all injuries will fall under this umbrella, and examples of those that do may include crush injuries, amputations, dismemberments, mutilations, or any other instance where gore is graphically depicted. These can be portrayed in detail only when the below conditions are met.
  • Prior written OOC consent must be sought and obtained from all players involved whether they are active participants or can simply see the chat.

We ask that players consider Common Courtesy rule 2.0 in situations where roleplay may lead to a player experiencing out of game discomfort. If a situation feels like it could be questionable, we advise that players seek consent from their scene partners as a gesture of goodwill and have open discussions around such.

This includes active participation, implied participation, allusions to, references to, or accusations of. If you are exposed to these themes in-character or out of character, report this to admin as soon as possible. These are absolutely forbidden under all circumstances.

• Beastiality
• Pedophilia
• Necrophilia
• Incest
• Rape
• Physical sexual harassment or sexual assault
• Sex Trafficking
• Human Sacrifice
• Cannabilism
• Active or Ongoing Slavery
• Torture of animals

Petty robberies must be carried out with appropriate roleplay, and believable in-character motive. They should create conflict and consequence, not be used as a low-effort way to farm money or items.

• Characters must have at least 4 hours of in-game playtime before committing a robbery.
• Players may commit up to two petty robberies per 24-hour period. This includes both scripted and non-scripted robberies.
• Robbers must make clear demands and allow the victim a fair opportunity to respond.
• A robbery victim may not be attacked with in-game mechanics unless they escalate the situation by…
  • Fighting back
  • Drawing a weapon
  • Attempting to flee
  • Refusing reasonable demands while under threat
  • Otherwise creating a believable risk to the robber

• Bank robberies
• Jailbreaks
• Arson or destruction of a property
• Raids on government or law enforcement buildings.
• Raids on faction headquarters.

Approval can be sought and obtained through the relevant ticket request.

Players should be aware of 11.5 Death Strikes as Consequences if participating in one of these activities. This will mean that if your character is downed through mechanical combat, you would receive a death strike as per the death strike rules.

• Etching words into an exterior surface.
• Breaking a small number of windows.
• Damaging individual pieces of furniture.
• Painting or writing on an exterior wall.
• Damaging fences, signs, or other minor fixtures.

This represents minor damage that can be repaired. Minor damage must not prevent the owner from continuing to use the property or substantially alter its function.

To attempt significant property destruction, either by way of arson or other means requires prior approval via the appropriate ticket. As housing stock and properties are limited and this has the potential to disrupt roleplay, these tickets will have a high bar for approval and will only be granted in situations where there is a justified reason, and a history of significant conflict with the targeted properties owner, whether this is a faction or a player. Property destruction is not permanent, and properties can be repaired and rebuilt.

• Character customization areas, such as barbers, tailors, makeup stations, and similar appearance-editing locations.
• Scripted interface points, including stable menus, general store prompts, gun store menus, and similar locations.

Crime, combat, threats, robbery, kidnapping, and other hostile actions may NOT take place in Total Safe Zones under any circumstance.

Limited Safe Zones are areas where serious crime or large-scale violence can only occur with prior admin approval, due to assumed population, public visibility, local security, or the likely presence of law enforcement.

Areas considered limited safe zones include:

• The main streets, main roads, public spaces, and interiors of towns and cities, including Blackwater, Strawberry, Valentine, Rhodes, Annesburg, and Saint Denis.
  • Back alleys, secluded side streets, and other areas clearly out of public view are not considered Limited Safe Zones.
• Interiors of federal buildings, banks, operational forts, law enforcement buildings, courthouses, commercial properties, clinics, hospitals, saloons, restaurants.
• Legal faction headquarters.
• We advise players to be mindful of rule 1.0 Common Sense when considering locations for engaging in criminal activities.

Crimes that are permitted in Limited Safe Zones WITHOUT prior approval from admin:

Petty crimes such as…

• Low-level public disorder.
• Pickpocketing.
• Petty theft.
• Vandalism.
• Protests.
• Fistfights.
• Harassment or intimidation.
• Bar fights or other minor public disturbances.

Limited Safe Zone Exception Requests:

Players may request admin approval for a Limited Safe Zone Exception. This allows a player to commit crimes that would not normally be allowed in Limited Safe Zones. These will be granted in situations where there is a strong IC justification for the proposed crime, combat, or hostile roleplay.

Crimes that are permitted in Limited Safe Zones WITH prior approval from admin:

Major crimes such as…

• Bank robberies.
• Heists.
• Jailbreaks.
• Arson or destruction of a property.
• Raids on government buildings.
• Raids on law enforcement buildings.
• Raids on legal faction headquarters.
• Kidnapping government, law enforcement, or legal faction characters.
• Assassination attempts.
• Large-scale violence, organized attacks, or other serious criminal undertakings.

Criminal safe zones are areas of the map where criminals are known to gather, be it for refuge or to conduct business. There is virtually no law enforcement in these areas.

Areas considered Criminal Safe Zones include:

• Van Horn
• Butcher’s Creek
• Thieves Landing
• Illegal Faction Headquarters

Crimes that are permitted in Criminal Safe Zones without prior approval from admin:

• All crime and combat is permitted with the exception of anything that must be applied for under 8.3 Heists, Planned Robberies, Raids & Property Attacks.

Crimes that are permitted in Criminal Safe Zones with prior approval from admin:

• Anything that must be applied for under 8.3 Heists, Planned Robberies, Raids & Property Attacks.

Law enforcement restrictions:

Law enforcement may not enter criminal safezones with the intention of upholding the law unless:

• Law enforcement are executing a court approved warrant.
• Law enforcement are conducting an approved raid.
• Law enforcement are responding to immediate criminal activity, such as pursuing a fleeing suspect or reacting to cries for help.
• Law enforcement officers who have sought and obtained appropriate corruption permissions from Faction management in the Central Faction Management Discord.
• Law enforcement officers who are infiltrating another faction as per F4.2 Multi-Faction Permissions.

These emotes will be distinguished from regular emotes by their bold red colour. This is the final emote marking the end of text-based roleplay and the start of combat using in-game mechanics. Both melee combat and ranged combat requires the use of a /cme. It is your responsibility to ensure the range of your emote is reachable by your target(s). When in doubt use /cmelong. Roleplay must resume once combat is obviously concluded.

Common sense should dictate whether the situation requires a combat emote based upon the shooter’s intentions.

A warning shot fired during a confrontation, pursuit, robbery, arrest, or other hostile situation does require a combat emote, even where the shooter does not intend to hit anyone. The emote must clearly state that the shot is being fired as a warning and must be visible to everyone reasonably affected. Once a warning shot has been initiated through a /cme, it is treated as a hostile escalation and other involved characters may respond with mechanical combat as per 10.1 Combat emotes should they choose to do so.

Prior to commencing a shootout, there are two pre-requisites that must be met.

• If you are using a two-handed weapon like a long-arm, you must produce a /me that indicates you are drawing your weapon before you use a /cme to begin combat.
• If you are using a one handed weapon like a revolver, you can draw your weapon as part of your /cme to represent a character’s ability to quickdraw.
• If you already had your weapon drawn when you engaged in roleplay with your fellow combatant, you do not need to produce a /me prior to your /cme.

These rules apply if you are held at gunpoint, are being aimed at with a bow & arrow, have a blade held to your neck, or any other situation where you are under the threat of a weapon. Aggressors will refer to characters holding the weapon, and victims will refer to players being targeted by the weapon.

A victim will have three clear choices available to them in this situation and these will determine the amount of force that an aggressor can use against you…

• Fight:
  • You may use a /cme to commence combat with in-game mechanics in an attempt to overpower or fight the aggressor. The aggressor will not need to produce another /cme to fight back in this situation.
• Flight:
  • You may use in game mechanics to try to run from your aggressor such as sprinting away. You do not need to produce a /me prior to doing so. In this situation, the aggressor can begin combat against you with in-game mechanics without the need to /cme.
• Comply:
  • You can comply with the demands of the aggressor.
  • A victim is protected from being downed as stated in 10.5 if they are obviously complying and are non/threatening.
  • The aggressor must make clear demands and allow the victim a fair opportunity to respond. Aggressors should be mindful of rule 3.1.
  • The Victim must not stall or delay responses to gain an advantage and should be mindful of rule 3.2.
  • A victim that initially complies may change their approach to Fight or Flight but must clearly indicate this with a /me or /cme as appropriate. In this instance, the above fight or flight rules then apply.

A victim can of course try to reason, negotiate, or bargain with their aggressor though whether this is successful would be at the aggressor’s discretion. Repeated attempts to persuade the aggressor where the victim is not actively complying with the aggressor’s demands gives the aggressor the right to use a /cme to initiate mechanical combat against the victim.

In situations where there is a clear path of escalation beyond passive roleplay, such as impending arrest, criminality, or conflict where 10.4 Under Threat of a Readied Weapon does not apply, a fleeing character will need to indicate their intention to flee with a /me prior to using in-game mechanics to try to make their escape.

• A pursuer may pursue immediately without further roleplay or use of /me, with the ability to use in-game mechanics to apprehend the escapee such as tackling or lassoing the target.
• 10.1 Combat emotes or 10.4 Under Threat of a Readied Weapon must be used if the situation is escalating to violence by either the pursuer or the escapee.

Being downed does not automatically mean the character has been mortally wounded, nor does it automatically create grounds for a Death Strike. A downed character may be injured, captured, robbed, abandoned, rescued, or otherwise dealt with as appropriate to the scene. Injuries should be properly roleplayed after being downed for a reasonable length of time.

After downing another character, the victor may choose to escalate the scene by inflicting a Mortal Wound. A Mortal Wound is a deliberate, life-threatening injury inflicted after a character has already been downed. This must be clearly roleplayed through an emote, such as shooting the character again, stabbing them, or severely beating them. A Mortal Wound does not automatically guarantee a Death Strike. Mortal Wounds must be reported to staff with appropriate evidence to support why the escalation was necessary or desired. Staff will then review the circumstances and decide whether a Death Strike should be applied to the victim’s character.

In the instance where a mortal wound has been inflicted, the victim’s character must be ‘left for dead’, their aggressors perhaps believing that the victim will surely bleed out or die. Regardless of whether staff approve or deny the Death Strike, a character who receives a Mortal Wound must roleplay a serious injury for 7 days.

This injury should reflect the nature of the wound and must be treated as a meaningful consequence. Characters should not immediately return to fighting, strenuous activity, or dangerous conflict as though nothing happened.

New Roanoke does not use a New Life Rule or forced amnesia system often used on other servers.

If a player inflicts a Mortal Wound and believes the circumstances justify a Death Strike, they must report the scene to staff. Staff will consider the surrounding roleplay, the reason for the conflict, the conduct of both parties, and whether the Mortal Wound was a fair and reasonable consequence of the character’s actions.

Death Strike requests may be denied if the motive is weak, the escalation was excessive, the evidence is insufficient, or the scene does not justify pushing the wounded character closer to permanent death.

Players may not use Mortal Wounds casually as a default finisher after ordinary combat. Repeatedly attempting to force Death Strikes from routine fights may be considered poor conflict roleplay.

If admin approves a Death Strike, one shall be added to the character. Death Strikes have the following effects…

• First Death Strike: The character survives, but must roleplay a serious injury for 7 days.
• Second Death Strike: The character survives, but must roleplay a serious injury for 7 days and take on a permanent consequence of the player’s choosing. This may include a limp, disfigurement, visible scarring, chronic pain, loss of mobility, psychological trauma, addiction, or another lasting impairment.
• Third Death Strike: If a character receives three active Death Strikes within a 60-day period, the character is permanently killed.

Players are expected to portray injuries realistically after being downed, mortally wounded, or otherwise seriously harmed during roleplay. A character should not immediately return to fighting, hard riding, strenuous labour, or further dangerous conflict as though nothing happened for at least a day. The severity of the injury should reasonably reflect the scene.

Injuries do not need to permanently cripple a character unless voluntarily chosen by the injured player or required by a Death Strike consequence. They should still be treated as meaningful roleplay consequences rather than ignored once the immediate scene is over.

In some situations, CK’s will occur regardless of the death strike system. The following circumstances result in CK’s being granted due to the context of the situation or level of risk…

• Capital punishment following a guilty verdict at trial.
• You are a character that has an active dead or alive bounty upon their head and is downed by a bounty hunter or law enforcement, then further mortally wounded as per 11.2 Mortal Wounds.
• You are a bounty hunter pursuing another player character with a dead or alive bounty on their head and are downed by your intended target, and then further mortally wounded by them as per 11.2 Mortal Wounds.
• You are infiltrating another faction, your cover is blown during the infiltration, and you are subsequently downed and inflicted with a Mortal Wound under 11.2 Mortal Wounds. This automatic CK condition ends once the infiltration has concluded and your character is no longer embedded within the faction. After that point, 11.3 Death Strikes applies as normal.
• Voluntary character kills as chosen by their player, such as after being downed, injured, or sick.
• Self-inflicted character kills as chosen by their player, such as suicide.

Character Kills should not feel like punishment, more rather be a narrative tool. As such, players that owned a home at the time of their character’s death will be given the opportunity to retain those properties on a new character provided they can justify a reason for this with Admin. Staff will work with the player to establish a reasonable narrative transition, such as inheritance, an estate sale, or other suitable arrangement.

This ONLY applies to:

• Privately owned homes that were not rented properties.
• Non-faction properties.
• Homes that have been owned for longer than a three month period.
• Non-business properties.

This exception applies only to the home itself. It does not automatically transfer its contents, stored items, or money. Where a player chooses not to retain the property, it will be either made available for purchase or be available via the whitelisting process.

In situations where a last will and testament has been produced by a whitelist approved lawyer then the will and testament will be executed as written in the legal document. This overrides the ability to reclaim assets following a CK.

Players may not upload:

• Pornographic or sexually explicit images.
• Content depicting any limited or prohibited theme under >span class="rule-text-gold">Rules 7.1&2.
• Overly sexualised depictions of characters.
• Graphic gore.
• Content intended to humiliate, discriminate against, harass, or target another player OOC.
• Images containing any player’s real identity, photograph, or personal information.
• Any content that breaches another server rule.

In-character insults, propaganda, wanted posters, political material, and hostile advertisements are permitted where they arise from legitimate roleplay.

Where a character has been CK’d and left a valid last will and testament prepared through appropriate roleplay by a whitelisted lawyer, the responsible law office may execute the will according to its written terms, with admin support where required.

Wills remain subject to the Asset Transfer rules and the inheritor may not simply transfer inherited assets to another character belonging to the deceased character’s player, directly or indirectly.

Players should be mindful of 12.2 Reclaiming assets on CK.

This includes:

• Using inventory, storage, or trading systems while restrained, unconscious, or otherwise unable to reasonably do so.
• Using the animation script to break out of restraints, avoid consequences, escape grapples or other situations that lead to the avoidance of consequence or powergaming.
• Restraining players through walls or from an unreasonable distance such as using the handcuff script inappropriately.
• Spamming scripts, prompts, animations, sounds, or items to disrupt other players.
• Using character selection, relogging, respawning, or script menus to escape ongoing roleplay or avoid consequence.

• Mod menus, trainers, injectors, executors, or cheat software.
• Aimbots, trigger bots, recoil reduction, rapid-fire tools, or automated targeting.
• Speed, teleportation, invulnerability, invisibility, or movement modifications.
• Tools that reveal hidden players, locations, inventories, names, or other unavailable information.
• Visual modifications that remove darkness, fog, vegetation, obstructions, or otherwise improve visibility beyond normal gameplay.
• Macros or scripts that automate actions, repeat inputs, or perform multiple actions from a single input.
• Bots or automation used for farming, crafting, gathering, trading, or character activity.
• Copying & Pasting pre-written emotes to gain an advantage over another player is prohibited Except in the following circumstance:
  • A single opening emote may be prepared in advance where necessary to initiate a scene with a rapidly moving character, such as attempting to stop a rider for a trail robbery. The emote must be appropriate to the specific circumstances, visible to the intended recipient, and followed by a fair opportunity for them to respond as per 3.1 Fair Opportunity to Respond.

Cheat detection scripts WILL be running on the server at all times and identified players will have admin action taken against them.

Prohibited uses of AI:

AI-generated text may not be pasted into…

• /me, /melow, or /melong emotes.
• /s, /w, or other character dialogue.
• /cme combat emotes.
• /scene descriptions.

AI-generated or AI-written content may not be submitted as part of:

• Server whitelist applications.
• Faction or restricted-concept applications.
• Staff applications.
• Reports, appeals, or responses to administrative investigations.

Approved uses of AI:

• Generating character portraits, advertisements, posters, and other visual resources for use in-game.
• Creating graphical or written resources for the server.
• Brainstorming character concepts, plots, or roleplay ideas.
• Supporting the writing, editing, or presentation of journals, letters, and similar creative materials that are posted on the forums or Discord.

This applies to, but is not limited to:

• Criminal gangs
• Businesses
• Ranches
• Law enforcement groups
• Pinkerton-style agencies
• Political groups
• Religious or ideological groups
• Any organised player group operating indefinitely with four or more members

Faction approval exists to support player-led roleplay, maintain continuity, and ensure organised groups fit appropriately within the setting and wider server environment.

Upon approval, a representative from the administration team will be assigned to the faction as its Faction Custodian. Faction Custodians are not members of the faction. They do not lead the faction, control its stories, or interfere with day-to-day roleplay unless the health of the faction, wider community, or server is at risk. A Faction Custodian should have little to no significant IC or OOC conflict of interest with the faction they are assigned to. Their role is to act as a largely silent point of support and oversight, available to faction members when guidance is needed. They help safeguard faction health, ensure server rules are followed, support fair roleplay, and preserve continuity when issues arise.

The faction’s allocated Faction Custodian will create a discord server for your faction, retaining ownership of the discord but providing all permissions to the faction's leader. This ensures that should the faction leader ever become unavailable, members of the faction can nominate a new leader who will be granted all permissions on the discord. This preserves continuity and minimizes disruption.

Following successful application, the faction will be recognised as a whitelisted faction and will be expected to follow all faction rules, server rules, and relevant standards of conduct. Faction approval may be reviewed or withdrawn if a faction repeatedly breaches server rules, becomes inactive, creates an unhealthy OOC environment, or no longer contributes positively to the server.

Leaders of the whitelisted Faction must join the centralized Faction Management Discord Server that will be used to coordinate cross-faction plots.

Members of an approved faction are held to a higher standard of conduct than unaffiliated players, both in-character and out-of-character. All faction members are expected to follow server rules, conduct themselves respectfully, and demonstrate appropriate maturity.

Failure to meet these standards may result in administrative action against the individual and, where appropriate, may also reflect on the faction as a whole in the form of faction strikes.

A faction's conduct, objectives, recruitment, resources, influence, capablities, and scope should be proportionate to what could reasonably exist within the world and setting of New Roanoke. Leaders and players should prioritize creating enjoyable roleplay for both their own members as well as the wider community. Factions should contribute meaningful stories, accept consequences and setbacks, and avoid portraying themselves as unrealistically powerful, untouchable, or incapable of failure.

Faction Leaders are responsible for ensuring their members maintain appropriate standards of realism and roleplay quality. Instances of persistent unrealistic portrayal, poor quality roleplay, or conduct that negatively impacts the server as a whole may result in intervention from Faction Management.

Multi-faction membership should be documented via ticket in the centralized Faction Management Discord server. Exceptions to this rule are:

• A character may not be in two law enforcement agencies at any given time.
• A character is seeking to infiltrate another faction on behalf of another faction. An example of this might be a Pinkerton agent trying to infiltrate a labour union, a cult, or a smuggling ring. In the case of infiltration, the following conditions MUST be met.
  • Permission must be sought and obtained from Faction Management prior to the commencement of the roleplay on the Centralized Faction Management Discord server via ticket. The custodians of each faction would be notified and would monitor ongoing RP from an admin perspective with a view to safeguarding the health of involved factions and to ensure fairness.
  • Only information sourced from in-game activities can be used as part of your investigation. You may not use information stored in Discord channels, regardless of whether they are IC or not. Metagaming rules listed in the in-game rules must be followed stringently.
  • The target faction must have some agency and the infiltrating player must take risks, lie convincingly, and properly portray the stress that accompanies infiltrating a faction.
  • The infiltrating player accepts that, if their cover is exposed, the automatic CK provisions under 12.1 CKs as Consequences will apply.

Faction CK permissions, along with clear evidence of the player’s consent, must be documented in the central faction management Discord. As this is permission based, the death strike system used in other character kill situations will not apply.

Should a player leave a faction, CK permissions granted as part of faction membership will be automatically rescinded and faction leaders will need to apply through the usual CK request channels, though former members should be aware that the bar for approval of CK requests from your faction will be much lower.

Faction Management may issue strikes based on player reports, faction reports, or admin observations.

The faction strike system is as follows:

• Strike 1: Private warning to faction leadership.
• Strike 2: Public warning to the faction.
• Strike 3: Faction approval withdrawn and the faction disbanded.

In the case of faction disbandment, the faction’s allocated Custodian in conjunction with Faction Management will support in the development of the in-character narrative around why this is the case. This will be either through an in-game event or a written plot that will be canonised in server lore. Continuity will be preserved as far as practicable.

Strikes expire after three months, provided no further faction strike is issued during that period. Faction strikes cannot be appealed, though Faction Management may review a strike internally where appropriate and in the case of new information coming to light.

If a faction member breaks server rules while acting on behalf of, representing, or using the influence of their faction, the faction may be held accountable alongside the individual player. This does not mean factions are automatically punished for every action of every member, but leadership is expected to promote good conduct and address issues when they arise.
