Freak Zone (RP) [no KOS]

--- Official Server Rules --- (effective 06/01/2016) ---


NO RDM (random death-match) style playing

Kill-on-sight is prohibited and punished severely, aside from during FULL MOON (aka Blood Moon), when server-wide PVP is authorized and KOS rules do not apply. This means from the time the message “The full moon appears” is displayed on everyone’s screen, until the message “The full moon falls” is displayed - KOS rules are suspended, a.k.a. PURGE. KOS reports will be ignored during this period, as admin are normally active participants for these ‘events.’


The server IS a PVP server, and the nature of humans will create hostilities in certain situations. When a conflict is initiated should be determined by any perceived aggression. Telling another Human to stop what they're doing, put their hands up, otherwise surrender, or any similar "commands" - will almost always be perceived as aggression. So if you intend to take on a "Bandit" role on the server, you must be aware that rule #1 is, and always will be: NO KOS
- If you want the items a player has, you need to coerce, persuade, or otherwise manipulate the victim into giving them to you BEFORE you engage them in physical combat. If they refuse, that is when you can 'perceive' their actions as being aggressive. Refusal includes any verbal responses, either through in-game voice chat or [World]/[Area] text, or blatant and obvious refusal to comply, i.e. running away, hiding, etc.

Combat-logging is counter-productive to PVP gameplay, and if you are found doing so. This means you cannot log off the server simply to avoid being engaged in PVP. You cannot run, hide, and immediately log your character off, thus hiding him to the whole server. You should expect a reasonable chase to ensue if you flee an attacker. You could use text-chat to determine if a pursuit is still in progress, or has been broken off - this would be the morally correct route to follow.

Unfortunately, not everyone has microphone available for in-game voice chat, speakers/headset to be able to hear others' voices, so calling out or responding aloud cannot guarantee communication.


Offline raiding is prohibited. A base*-owner, or group member(s) must be online for a base to be a valid raid-target.

* "Base" is any fully player-created structures. Fortification of existing map buildings/locations does not constitute a "base," and may be considered obtrusive to normal game-play. Depending on the severity of the obtrusion, admin may or may not clear out barricades and fortifications - players MOST likely will, in short order, to regain access to loot spawns.

Structure and Barricade resilience has been increased from the default values, but in-depth testing is in progress to determine if an adjustment is needed due to recent game updates regarding explosives. Decay time is set to normal 7 days, meaning if a base-builder is not online for 7 consecutive days, the items (s)he has built will disappear.

- Keep this in mind when building onto already existing structures, anything built by another person unknown to you COULD disappear at a given point, leaving your additions vulnerable.


The server's primary, and only "official" language is American English. Anyone not able to understand or communicate effectively in English will likely experience negative effects while playing on the server.

Profanity is allowed, but please consider that MANY Unturned players are younger, and your words may influence their viewpoints. Continued direct verbal assaults will be noticed, and the involved parties may be asked to modify their behaviors.

Vulgarity (not the same as profanity), racial slurs, and other extremely sensitive topics will not be permitted in [World]/[Area] chat, and may result in immediate and permanent ban.


The server is an RP-based playstyle. You are free to determine your own role and playstyle to suit. This does not mean you can choose a role and demand to be provided equipment (clothing, tools, weapons, vehicles). There are no /kits available, no /tpa or /home commands exist for users other than admin.



Remember:

"We all start naked and unarmed, usually on a beach or in a forest."

"It is a survival game. You've performed poorly and may die. Luckily you can respawn!"
