We need to come up with a full set of rules before we can even launch.

We need rule ideas and suggestions. We don't want them to long but we don't want them to short. We need to also be clearly about griefing is not tolerated period and pvp is only done within the tower pvp area. No lava griefing and etc.

Both...

They can steal and do minor griefing. We don't want to prevent people opening anything just chests really and buttons/levers.

First draft of what i think would be a good cut-down rule set, together with the 'Guide' I'll post next (which should be on another page but linked to the rules) should cover the basic needs?

Feel free to modify, edit, tear apart, comment on or whatever else

Common things that can get you in trouble

• Hacking, cheating or modifying the game to provide personal benefit
• Using a bug in the game or any of the mods to your advantage unless specifically authorised for use by all players in a forum announcement / these rules
• Griefing of any kind (Examples include damaging property, harassing in game or vent etc, racism and other stereotyping to cause offence are considered harassing)
• Stealing or entering a persons clearly marked area without permission

Things to remember

• Moderators (Green name in game) and Head mods (Light red name in game) are here to help and enforce rules. Kane (Dark red in game name) is not, he maintains the servers and does much of the background work.
• This is an English speaking server, please only speak English in general chat and with moderators, they cannot help you if they cannot understand you.
• If you have an issue relating to any part of godcraft (server/forums/other players etc) speak to a moderator / head mod in the first instance.
• If you have done something wrong tell a moderator, they don't bite and are usually able to advise what you can do to make it right rather than ban you, if they find out later on when you're not online to explain then you won't get this chance.
• If no moderator is available in-game, either find one in the ventrillo server or post a message on the forums, sometimes we're on other Godcraft servers and will jump over to help when we see the message.
  
  Overall Message to remember
  This server is here for the enjoyment of all, there is a strong community that protects the server and keeps it fun for all, have fun, keep to the rules above and if in doubt, ask...most players can give you an answer or refer you to the forums/wiki and there are usually moderators online at most hours of the day regardless of time zone.
  

This bit is far from finished, any help adding to it would be appreciated, my brain is numb after the rules above and this :S

Names, colours and what they mean

• Dark Red: Server Admin – This colour is for Kane only, he maintains the servers and works with developers reporting bugs and supplying new ideas, he is not online to enforce rules or resolve issues, please see a moderator about this.
• Light Reg: Head Moderator – These are the Head moderators for Godcraft, they are the same as the green moderators but are more senior, guiding the normal moderators in what actions should be taken and are able to step in if a moderators ruling seems unfair or unsuitable
• Green: Moderator – The moderators are players who haven proven themselves mature and capable of fairly judging a situation and applying a suitable solution from resolving arguments to banning rule breakers. If you have any issues, concerns or are in need of help beyond the basic (IE Don't ask 'how do I make this block' but do ask 'what do I do if i'm stuck inside someone else's protected area?') then these are the people you should go to
• Pink (Purple?): VIP 3 Members – These are players who are actively paying a subscription fee to Godcraft, supporting the upkeep of the server, and in exchange have access to some additional features and nice things....such as a pinky/purple name.
• Light Blue: Whitelisted member or VIP 1/2 – These are regular, registered members of Godcraft who have donated $10 and also includes VIP 1 or 2 players who pay a subscription to Godcraft, supporting the upkeep of the server. VIP 1 / 2 members also gain some additional benefits over normal members but not as many as VIP 3.
• Grey: Player – Grey players are those who have not donated to the server, a small number of items available to members are not available to grey players, predominantly items which are known to be able to cause a lot of server stress but are otherwise able to play like a normal Light blue whitelisted player.

Godcraft adventures is a PvE (Player vs Environment) server with PVP (Player vs Player) zones around key towers located all over the map. While you may kill other players in the PvP zones do not grief or harass, for example spamming lava around someone’s base in the PvE area.

While protected zones can be setup by players, just because someone’s base isn’t inside this protected zone does not mean it is open to theft, destruction or griefing, server rules still apply.

PS, Sniper is specifically named on the other server rules, if he's no longer here his name should prob be replaced with 'Head mod'

Togeh want admin on the wiki lol?

Can't hurt

You should be able to edit all the pages even the ones that say admin or something on them. We don't have anyone willing to really work on the wiki so feel free to really do what you want hehe.

Make sure to include that griefing is not allowed, but your stuff is only really protected in your precious stone area as long as its protected with walls/protected doors.

Keep bring up rule ideas. @ElectroBot is going take all the ideas and sum them up into one rule set tonight.

Electro has updated the rules and made them plain and clean as possible. Let us know if you have suggestions:
