Rules - Uros Roleplay Forums

Code of Conduct & Decrees

1. Respect & Community Conduct

We are a community-first server. How you treat the person behind the screen is infinitely more important than the character they play.

Harassment, Toxicity & Hate Speech

Zero Tolerance: We strictly prohibit racism, homophobia, sexism, religious prejudice, or any form of hate speech. This results in an immediate, permanent ban.
Toxic Behavior: Persistent negativity, passive-aggressiveness, "baiting" arguments in public channels, or making others feel unwelcome is not tolerated.
Bullying: Targeted harassment of a specific player or group, whether in-game or via Discord DMs, is strictly forbidden.

Out of Character (OOC) Separation

IC vs OOC: You are not your character. In-game conflict (insults, rivalry, war) must remain in-game. Do not bleed RP frustrations into Discord or global chat.
Drama: Do not air grievances in public channels. If you have an issue with a player, open a ticket or DM a staff member.

Consequences: Verbal Warning → 3-7 Day Ban → Permanent Ban (Immediate for Hate Speech).

2. Roleplay Integrity (Medieval Standard)

Uros uses "Medieval Minecraft" (MMC) standards. We expect immersive, logical roleplay at all times. Your character exists in a time before modern technology.

Metagaming (OOC Info -> IC Usage)

Metagaming is using information obtained Out-Of-Character (Discord, streams, map coords, nametags) to benefit your character In-Character. Your character does not have a GPS or psychic powers.

✘ Violation

"I see 'Garreth' on the nametag through a wall. I jump over and say 'Hello Garreth!'"

"I read on Discord that a raid is happening at 500, 200. Let's go!"

✔ Valid RP

"I check the Map (OOC), then ask a guard IC: 'Which way to Riverwood?'"

"I received a messenger bird from the Baron warning of an attack."

Powergaming (Forcing Outcomes)

Powergaming is forcing an action onto another player without giving them a chance to react, or performing superhuman feats without lore backing. You cannot simply "win" because you typed it.

✘ Violation

"*draws dagger and slits his throat instantly.*"

"*lifts the entire cart with one hand.*"

✔ Valid RP

"*attempts to grapple the guard, holding a dagger to his neck.*"

"*strains against the weight of the cart, trying to lift it.*" (Use /roll)

Magic & Law

Low Fantasy: Magic is rare, dangerous, and often illegal in human lands. You cannot invent spells on the fly.
Lore Approval: Any magical ability must be approved by the Lore Team via a character app or special event.
Consequences: If you cast magic openly in a town, guards will arrest you. "It's my character" is not a defense against IC laws.

Consequences: Voiding of RP Scenario → Warning Points → Temporary Ban.

3. Combat & Engagement

Combat should drive the story forward, not just be a way to collect loot. Aggression requires a reason.

No RDM

Random Death Match. You cannot attack without a valid RP reason and initiation via chat.

NLR (New Life)

If you die in PvP, you forget the 30 mins leading to death. You cannot return for 30 mins.

PK (Permadeath)

A character's permanent end. Only enforced with consent or during high-stakes lore events.

Combat Logging

Disconnecting or crashing to avoid death/arrest is a major offense.

Initiation Standards

Verbal Warning: You must speak or emote aggressively before attacking. Example: "*draws sword* Hand over the coin or bleed!"
Reaction Time: Give the other player a moment (5-10 seconds) to react, surrender, or flee before swinging.

Consequences: Inventory Wipe + 30 Day Ban → Permanent Ban.

4. Communication & Language

Speaking in Tongues

To deepen immersion, characters should speak according to their race and status. While not mandatory, it is highly encouraged.

Elfin: Often articulate, archaic, or flowery. "The stars shine brightly upon your path, traveler."
Turuk (Orcish): Direct, guttural, action-oriented. "Stop. This road belongs to Turuk. Leave gold, or leave head."
Grokon (Dwarven): Deep, sturdy, practical. "Aye, the wall is solid. Took three days to lay the foundation."
Human: Varied based on status (Peasant vs Noble).

Chat Commands

/help [msg]: Use this to ask staff/mentors a question privately.
Emotes (*): Use a single asterisk for personal actions. *waves hand*
Environment (**): Use double asterisks for world descriptions. **The wind howls through the valley**
Shout (!): Increases chat range. !Guards! Help me!
Whisper (?): greatly reduces chat range. ?keep it down, they'll hear us.

5. Building & Environment

Aesthetic Standards

Theme: All builds must fit the Medieval/Fantasy setting. No modern skyscrapers, pixel art, or "cobble monsters."
Physics: Floating trees and gravity-defying platforms (skybases) are restricted unless you have Lore approval for magic.

Griefing & Theft

Griefing: Destroying blocks solely to cause damage (Lavacasting, TNT spam) is banned.
Strategic Destruction: Breaking a door during a raid is allowed. Burning down a house requires Staff approval.
Theft: Stealing from unlocked chests is an IC crime. It is allowed, but you leave evidence (signs, tracks) for RP investigation.

Consequences: Rollback of damage → Warning or Ban depending on severity.

6. Content Safety

Prohibited Content

ERP (Erotic Roleplay): Strictly prohibited. We are a 16+ server, but sexual content is not welcome here. Take it elsewhere.
Sensitive Topics: RP involving sexual violence, suicide, or extreme torture without OOC consent is strictly banned.
Politics: Keep real-world controversial politics out of global chat. We are here to play Minecraft.

Consequences: Permanent Ban for ERP involving minors or sexual violence.

Finality of Staff Decisions

The Staff Team's primary goal is to keep the server playable and safe. If a staff member gives you a verdict or instruction, it is binding and final in that moment. Do not argue, spam DMs, or "shop" around asking other staff members for a different answer.

Administrative Discretion

Rules cannot cover every single possible scenario in a complex social game. Players who attempt to "rules lawyer"—bypassing the intent of a rule by exploiting technical loopholes—will be punished as if they broke the rule itself.
