First and foremost, as a member of this community, you're expected to treat people as you'd like to be treated. Use common sense while in-game and remember that everyone is just here to have fun. As well as, being polite to each other, showing respect, helping people who may be new to our server and in general being a good community member.
All of our rules have a general way of punishment. Three formal warnings/boots will be givenGENERAL RULES
These rules are maintained by the administration team and are always up for discussion and subject to change once the coded admins feel necessary. All decisions made by our administrators are to be followed, regardless if they are temporary rulings or laid in stone.
"The Golden Rule"
. If you continue to break rules, even if they aren't the same ones, you are liable to be banned for a period of 5 days and up to 2 weeks depending on your crimes. Anyone who puts the server in danger, either by DOS/DDOS/Harmful roleplay just to hurt the progress of the server, will be permanently code banned. If you have been banned, you will go on a probation status until you are told you have been removed from that probation status by Lord Meme after a period of good behavior. If you continue foul behavior and breaking rules on the server, you will have various things stripped from your character; such as, skill rank/jutsu/perks/log checks.
No metagaming
Metagaming - When someone uses out of character (OOC) information for in character (IC) purposes. If you attempt to incite metagaming then you're also breaking rules.
Examples:
1) Sending OOC messages via: radio messages/Skype & other messengers/OOC say/World OOC.
2) Having someone inform you of the police waiting outside your house, thus altering the actions you previously may have taken.
3) Abusing such verbs as Byakugan, Sharingan, or Sensory abilities.
No Godmodding.
2. No Godmodding.
Godmodding is whereby you force actions upon someone, don't allow the other player to retaliate, use items in which you haven't physically obtained -- or acting well beyond character limitations. Ignoring or dulling down negative actions that are drastically less than they should be is considered a case of Godmodding.
Examples:
1) Assaulting someone with a Fuma Shuriken when you don’t have one in your inventory.
2) “John throws a powerful hook into Jane’s jaw, causing her to fall down onto the floor and instantaneously falling unconscious.”
3. No Auto-Hitting
This falls nearly into the same category as Godmodding in terms of the examples. Auto-hitting is not waiting for the other person’s reply to your attack and roleplaying that the attack automatically lands without consideration that they might have a way to defend against said attack.
Examples:
1). John cast’s a Genjutsu and it takes over Jane’s mind, putting them to sleep.
4. No Deathmatching
Deathmatching is the act of killing another person’s character without sufficient reason. The same goes for killing a character verbally without prior RP and waiting for the death role play to be posted by the person dying.
Revenge killing falls under this rule. This is where you seek out a person on your death reward (DR) or alt and attempt to kill the person who killed your previous character. That means that your memory of said recent events is wiped, you are not a reincarnation that gets ‘bad vibes’ from the person who killed your previous character, and you are not friends with your previous character on your alt.
5. No advertising.
Sending other players links or discussing other servers, communities or groups on Byond in the manner of advertising is strictly prohibited. We expect all players to keep their opinions about said matter to themselves, as we hope members from other corners of the gaming world would do the same for us. This only receives one warning and if it is done again the player will be banned for a wipe.
6. Always roleplay.
This is a roleplay server and no one is allowed to force a situation to go out of character unless it's an administrator. If you attempt to slow roleplay down (especially during a hostile situation) then you're also breaking this rule. Ensure that you continue to roleplay even if you disagree with what's going on until an administrator arrives after you have sent a single Admin-help.
Examples:
1) Character names are to be in the format of: Lastname, Firstname or Firstname Lastname
2) No advertising of illegal items/consumables.
3) No unrealistic character names. I.e. Includes Numbers, symbols such as @#$%&*, or canon names to ANY anime, celebrity, etc. (In some cases this is permitted for special circumstances, as well as common celebrity/anime names are permitted)
4) Usage of OOC communication during roleplay must be kept to a minimum and must serve a purpose when being used.
5) Have your name as OOC or be considered as OOC for any reason. Only Admins can do such while handling admin business. (You may also not be present at any location OOCly, where your icon is, is where your character is at all times. Only Admins are an exception to this rule while conducting business)
7. Reader’s Discretion
Every single party involved must OOCly agree to the below sorts of roleplay taking place;
Rape
Cannibalism
Do bear in mind that although all parties may have agreed to said roleplay, you must be cautious when conducting these forms of roleplay in public settings. Public will be defined as whereby other members of the community can see the act of said roleplay occur, and if they did not OOCly agree to witness the roleplay, then roleplay must be paused and approved by the approaching party.
8. Don't break rules simply because someone else did.
Under no circumstance are you allowed to break rules because someone else did. If you witness somebody breaking server rules, report them to an administrator immediately. Do not start breaking the rules yourself else you'll face punishment.
Examples:
1) Deathmatching someone because they accidentally miss clicked and hit you.
2) Metagame an attack simply based off the other person metagaming.
3) Godmodding simply because the other person in the battle is Godmodding.
9. Getting assistance from Admins/Moderators
Administrators are often heavily tasked; therefore, spamming the Admin-help can be very distracting and unnecessary. The following are not acceptable reasons to message administrators:
Examples:
1) You want to have a friendly conversation.
2) You disagree with a decision they've made. (This can be submitted as a complaint in the ‘Complaints’ verb under ‘Commands’ tab)
3) You are curious about the status of an event you aren’t involved in and that isn’t being world announced.
10. Ignoring OOC communication
Sometimes a player may attempt to communicate with you during roleplay. This may be because they wanting to ask you a question in regards to the roleplay, or perhaps do not like the way things are turning out. When this does happen, you are allowed to ignore these players and you are not required to reply as long as it isn’t to make a clarification of the roleplay. If there is a dispute and you don’t want to respond to the person you are roleplaying with then you may simply send a Admin-help requesting an admin’s presence to sort out the issue.
Examples:
1) PM From John Doe: Why did you just call the police on me?
2) Jane Doe: (( Wow you can't do that, give it back! ))
Exception:
Administrators that communicate with you must be answered at all times.
11. Perk Cooldown
Perks that are roleplayed for have a 7 day cooldown, they also must be paid for with RPP just like core perks. You may not roleplay for two perks at the same time, on top of this, you are not allowed to roleplay for a perk but then decide to get another perk and ask for the previous perk later (You are required to restart the logging process).
12. Alt Interaction.
You are not allowed to transfer any kinds of assets (items, keys, money, jutsu scrolls) between your characters within your own account or over your multiple accounts. This includes using a friend to purchase a weapon via your blacksmith alt and then handing it off to you as a ‘gift’ as well as any other situation similar.
13. Bug abusing
You are not allowed to abuse bugs, bugs are considered as actions in which are not intended, such as duplication of items/money/jutsu scrolls.
You are required to report any bugs you find to an admin via Admin-help or Suggestions.
Failure to report bugs and instead using them for your own benefit/gain will be met with a severe punishment that may include permanent ban and a wipe of your character/items.
14. Items Possession.
All items, money and weapons in your inventory must be roleplayed on your character’s person. If you don't want to be caught with an item or your character’s entire life savings, we have features in homes that can be used to store items you don’t want on your person.
Examples:
1) John Doe has a rogue headband on his person but claims that he ‘stored it elsewhere’.
15. Rank Rules
Ranks are put in place for a purpose; they are here to provide stimulation to the roleplay setting to keep balance to not only story but to a government and shinobi military system. Without stabilization then the roleplay can’t flourish, the village will become weaker; the faction will become weaker or broken, etc. If you are a rank do not neglect your position or if it was given to you as a starter or as a reward do not turn around and become a rogue for merely no other reason than ‘I am powerful now’. (This rule applies only to starter ranks)
16. AFK rules
When a player is AFK you must follow these rules when taking actions against them. You must roleplay all actions towards them and then wait ten minutes to see if they will be coming out of AFK or if anyone around the area is going to interrupt your action.
17. Hostile & Flee Roleplays
Actions such as fleeing, stealing, attacking, destroying, killing, trapping, etc. should be of sufficient length and quality to the action being taken. They should also explain what it is you are doing and why it is you are taking the action. But should not be any less than six quality sentences detailing such action. Killing, mass robbing, or destroying large amounts of items should be more a longer more elaborate roleplay.
If someone is captured, imprisoned, or has an action done to them which could potentially cut off their roleplay, then it is obligatory to roleplay with them in one way or another. You cannot lock someone in and cut their roleplay off. If a player is cut off from roleplay for more than one OOC day, they may Admin-help to roleplay escaping, of course they must deal with any NPC’s supervising them.
Players cannot randomly kill players or rob buildings at the drop of a dime with little to no reason. If your background consists of habits regarding a short temper, or anything of the sort regarding this sort of behavior, then you must at least give generous amounts of role-play before an ultimatum. And even then the player should react with breaking bones, scarring or severing limbs before resorting to killing. Solely for the sake of preserving, promoting, and expanding roleplay experiences for all. No one wants to put a lot of time and effort into a character just to be snuffed out without warning. When players are killed off early or shortly after making a character, it can discourage them and cause them to give up or quit. Which in turn gives us less players, and in turn gives less roleplay which results in a dying server.
Leaving a hostile situation requires a roleplay stating as such and then waiting for OOC or IC approval from all parties you are permitted to leave.
When joining a hostile roleplay one must start the further possible away from the target (where a roleplay is still visible), and post an entrance roleplay, before entering the battle. You may only enter a combat situation ICly two rounds after arriving OOCly.
18. Scouting
To scout you must roleplay arriving, and then leaving. You cannot run into an area OOC, instantly dip, and relay information. Both of these must be done from the furthest point able within vision distance and the use of a bunshin or roleplay flag to mark your position may be used as you move closer to be in roleplay range. If you are capable of scouting outside of normal sensing/sight range, Admin-help for admin assistance.
19. Flaming & Trolls
Everyone has their fun with jokes but keep the flaming and trolling to a minimum. This is an act of not only OOC hostility, bullying, but also just a general annoyance that makes the server overall look bad and lacking in a nice community for all players.
21. Handseals
The maximum allowed hand seals in a single role-play without Tier 1 Handseals, is five hand seals.
22. Speech during Hostile Roleplay
ICly speaking outside a roleplay two times during a battle forfeits your roleplay turn for the next round if your opponent decides to call it. In other words, you must accept whatever your opponent roleplays if you speak, whisper, or use a radio communication that was not roleplayed in your previous post.
23. Age limitations
For various advances on the server there will be age limitations simply because some ages just don’t make sense for child soldiers that are overpowered and can outfight a six foot tall fully matured adult. It’s simple logic.
1) Perk progression:
a. Tier 1: 4 years old without genius/prodigy, 3 years old with genius/prodigy
b. Tier 2: 5 years old without genius/prodigy, 4 years old with genius/prodigy
c. Tier 3: 10 years old without genius/prodigy, 9 years old with genius/prodigy
2) Jutsu progression:
a. D Rank: 4 years old without genius/prodigy, 3 years old with genius/prodigy
b. C Rank: 5 years old without genius/prodigy, 4 years old with genius/prodigy
c. B Rank: 8 years old without genius/prodigy, 7 years old with genius/prodigy
d. A Rank: 10 years old without genius/prodigy, 9 years old with genius/prodigy
24. Spamming Admin-help
Do not spam the admin’s with your Admin-helps. Our admins are diligent to try and assist you, so please be patient with us. As for spamming Admin-help’s as a form of flaming will be met with a kick from the server, if continued flaming through spamming occurs then there will be a ban put in place, followed by permanent ban for the worst offenders.
25. Familiars
Animal’s must Admin-help to get their icon changed. Be sure you are creating into an animal that is approved to be a familiar/pet. If you aren’t sure, Admin-help before creating. Animal’s/pet’s cannot speak with anyone (excluding Inuzuka’s with ninken trained dogs) until they have acquired the intelligent familiar perk. (Familiar set up: 2 Tier 1 cores, 1 C rank or 2 D rank familiar appropriate custom attacks)
26. Kawarimi Ruling
The object must be equal mass to your body and not attached to anything. [Good Example: A chair, a light bench, a giant shuriken, a pre-cut log, solid clones (Shadow Clone). Bad Example: A branch attached to a tree, a tree, a sign attached to the ground, a desk, a kunai, a mass of water, multiple small objects, incorporeal clones.]
The object you substitute with must be within 2 tiles away when the hand seals are performed.
Can only activate 10 tiles away from original location.
You must kawa' to the original location, not any location of choice.
The kawa' activation only remains intact for 3 rounds.
28. Advanced KG’s
If you already have a clan or a special KG then you will not be allowed a second KG without proper medical alteration. You can’t for example have Ice release and Uchiha, nor can you have Hozuki and custom doujutsu. The only case where this isn't applied is double advanced elements rolled on creation.
29. No EZing
No EZing, this means no spamming your practice jutsu verb(You can only use this verb three times after your roleplay using a jutsu), it also means no spamming the same roleplay/periods/or unrelatable content repeatedly to gain RPP, as well as you are only allowed to click 'read scroll' -once- for each paragraph roleplayed.
31. RPP Purchases
If you purchase something with RPP, there are NO REFUNDS. The only exception to this rule is if the game caused a glitch in which we will give you a refund. This also goes for if you think that you may be reaching your perk limit, if you think you are close to your perk restriction for your rank, SCREENSHOT YOUR ENTIRE PAGE so that we can verify that it is a recent screenshot and refund you your RPP.
34. Invisible Henge
Henging an NPC, or anything else, to make your icon invisible for any reason is prohibited.
35. Scroll Learning
You must hav the following to create a scroll: 10 intel for D ranks, 15 intel for C ranks, 20 intel for B ranks, 30 intel for A ranks, 60 intel for S ranks. You are also not allowed to learn a jutsu from a scroll that is more than 1 skill rank above your current skill ranks. I.e. you are a C rank so you can only learn up to a B rank.
36. Learning New Elements
The base cost for learning an element outside of your natural affinity is 3000 RPP. You can have the cost lowered based on how skilled your teacher
37. Alt Spying
Using alternate characters in order to spy on roleplay in other parts of a village/in other villages will not be tolerated. If you are not actively roleplaying on the character and it has displayed habits of alt spying you will be warned to roleplay or leave the area, if you refuse you will be booted. If you continue the spying, that individual key will be banned.
38. Mission Rewards
Any person found to be giving out mission rewards beyond what is approved will be stripped of their verbs and the abused exp will be deleted from the person it was given to. You are only allowed to complete 3 missions an OOC day. All B rank or higher missions -must- have an EC, unless they are ‘spar a higher ranked shinobi’ mission, which require a full letter grade higher ranked player. Keep in mind that a kage does not have to give you the max missions a day, it is up to IC if they gives you that many missions or no missions at all. Gate guarding cannot be a rewarded mission. Kage's may assign guarding to people but unless there is an EC involved they cannot be rewarded EXP.
Genin: Max Mission Potential - 1 B, 2 C or 3 C’s or a combination of C’s and D’s (no more than 3 D’s for -total- missions in a day)
Chuunin: Max Mission Potential - 2 B, 1 C or 3 C’s or 1 admin approved A rank
Jounin: Max Mission Potential - 2 B, 1 admin approved A rank or 3 B etc
39. Buff/Stance Stacking
There are two types of jutsu buffs in the games, one are physical buffs and one are stances. You cannot stack multiple stances together, the same applies to physical buffs. You are however allowed to stack one stance with one physical buff, even then, there are some exceptions to this rule. There are other techniques that function as buffs, but are considered passives. Things like Sage Mode, Curse Seal, and so forth can be stacked up regardless, given that it's effectively like having a new beefed up 'base.'
Example of Stances: Karate Style: This person uses the techniques of the classic Karate style.
Example of Physical Buffs: Earth Spear, Lightning Armor, Kaguya Dances.
*Just because a rule isn't written down here doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The admin team has full ability to create a rule on the spot due to a certain situation making a need for a rule to be created. This is not considered abuse it is considered consistency with keeping the game maintained. Rules are also being added every day, if a rule isn't listed here check the rumors page for new rules that have been added between updates. If you have a suggestion for a rule, please contact Riven.
Admins
All of our rules have a general way of punishment. Three formal warnings/boots will be givenGENERAL RULES
These rules are maintained by the administration team and are always up for discussion and subject to change once the coded admins feel necessary. All decisions made by our administrators are to be followed, regardless if they are temporary rulings or laid in stone.
"The Golden Rule"
. If you continue to break rules, even if they aren't the same ones, you are liable to be banned for a period of 5 days and up to 2 weeks depending on your crimes. Anyone who puts the server in danger, either by DOS/DDOS/Harmful roleplay just to hurt the progress of the server, will be permanently code banned. If you have been banned, you will go on a probation status until you are told you have been removed from that probation status by Lord Meme after a period of good behavior. If you continue foul behavior and breaking rules on the server, you will have various things stripped from your character; such as, skill rank/jutsu/perks/log checks.
No metagaming
Metagaming - When someone uses out of character (OOC) information for in character (IC) purposes. If you attempt to incite metagaming then you're also breaking rules.
Examples:
1) Sending OOC messages via: radio messages/Skype & other messengers/OOC say/World OOC.
2) Having someone inform you of the police waiting outside your house, thus altering the actions you previously may have taken.
3) Abusing such verbs as Byakugan, Sharingan, or Sensory abilities.
No Godmodding.
2. No Godmodding.
Godmodding is whereby you force actions upon someone, don't allow the other player to retaliate, use items in which you haven't physically obtained -- or acting well beyond character limitations. Ignoring or dulling down negative actions that are drastically less than they should be is considered a case of Godmodding.
Examples:
1) Assaulting someone with a Fuma Shuriken when you don’t have one in your inventory.
2) “John throws a powerful hook into Jane’s jaw, causing her to fall down onto the floor and instantaneously falling unconscious.”
3. No Auto-Hitting
This falls nearly into the same category as Godmodding in terms of the examples. Auto-hitting is not waiting for the other person’s reply to your attack and roleplaying that the attack automatically lands without consideration that they might have a way to defend against said attack.
Examples:
1). John cast’s a Genjutsu and it takes over Jane’s mind, putting them to sleep.
4. No Deathmatching
Deathmatching is the act of killing another person’s character without sufficient reason. The same goes for killing a character verbally without prior RP and waiting for the death role play to be posted by the person dying.
Revenge killing falls under this rule. This is where you seek out a person on your death reward (DR) or alt and attempt to kill the person who killed your previous character. That means that your memory of said recent events is wiped, you are not a reincarnation that gets ‘bad vibes’ from the person who killed your previous character, and you are not friends with your previous character on your alt.
5. No advertising.
Sending other players links or discussing other servers, communities or groups on Byond in the manner of advertising is strictly prohibited. We expect all players to keep their opinions about said matter to themselves, as we hope members from other corners of the gaming world would do the same for us. This only receives one warning and if it is done again the player will be banned for a wipe.
6. Always roleplay.
This is a roleplay server and no one is allowed to force a situation to go out of character unless it's an administrator. If you attempt to slow roleplay down (especially during a hostile situation) then you're also breaking this rule. Ensure that you continue to roleplay even if you disagree with what's going on until an administrator arrives after you have sent a single Admin-help.
Examples:
1) Character names are to be in the format of: Lastname, Firstname or Firstname Lastname
2) No advertising of illegal items/consumables.
3) No unrealistic character names. I.e. Includes Numbers, symbols such as @#$%&*, or canon names to ANY anime, celebrity, etc. (In some cases this is permitted for special circumstances, as well as common celebrity/anime names are permitted)
4) Usage of OOC communication during roleplay must be kept to a minimum and must serve a purpose when being used.
5) Have your name as OOC or be considered as OOC for any reason. Only Admins can do such while handling admin business. (You may also not be present at any location OOCly, where your icon is, is where your character is at all times. Only Admins are an exception to this rule while conducting business)
7. Reader’s Discretion
Every single party involved must OOCly agree to the below sorts of roleplay taking place;
Rape
Cannibalism
Do bear in mind that although all parties may have agreed to said roleplay, you must be cautious when conducting these forms of roleplay in public settings. Public will be defined as whereby other members of the community can see the act of said roleplay occur, and if they did not OOCly agree to witness the roleplay, then roleplay must be paused and approved by the approaching party.
8. Don't break rules simply because someone else did.
Under no circumstance are you allowed to break rules because someone else did. If you witness somebody breaking server rules, report them to an administrator immediately. Do not start breaking the rules yourself else you'll face punishment.
Examples:
1) Deathmatching someone because they accidentally miss clicked and hit you.
2) Metagame an attack simply based off the other person metagaming.
3) Godmodding simply because the other person in the battle is Godmodding.
9. Getting assistance from Admins/Moderators
Administrators are often heavily tasked; therefore, spamming the Admin-help can be very distracting and unnecessary. The following are not acceptable reasons to message administrators:
Examples:
1) You want to have a friendly conversation.
2) You disagree with a decision they've made. (This can be submitted as a complaint in the ‘Complaints’ verb under ‘Commands’ tab)
3) You are curious about the status of an event you aren’t involved in and that isn’t being world announced.
10. Ignoring OOC communication
Sometimes a player may attempt to communicate with you during roleplay. This may be because they wanting to ask you a question in regards to the roleplay, or perhaps do not like the way things are turning out. When this does happen, you are allowed to ignore these players and you are not required to reply as long as it isn’t to make a clarification of the roleplay. If there is a dispute and you don’t want to respond to the person you are roleplaying with then you may simply send a Admin-help requesting an admin’s presence to sort out the issue.
Examples:
1) PM From John Doe: Why did you just call the police on me?
2) Jane Doe: (( Wow you can't do that, give it back! ))
Exception:
Administrators that communicate with you must be answered at all times.
11. Perk Cooldown
Perks that are roleplayed for have a 7 day cooldown, they also must be paid for with RPP just like core perks. You may not roleplay for two perks at the same time, on top of this, you are not allowed to roleplay for a perk but then decide to get another perk and ask for the previous perk later (You are required to restart the logging process).
12. Alt Interaction.
You are not allowed to transfer any kinds of assets (items, keys, money, jutsu scrolls) between your characters within your own account or over your multiple accounts. This includes using a friend to purchase a weapon via your blacksmith alt and then handing it off to you as a ‘gift’ as well as any other situation similar.
13. Bug abusing
You are not allowed to abuse bugs, bugs are considered as actions in which are not intended, such as duplication of items/money/jutsu scrolls.
You are required to report any bugs you find to an admin via Admin-help or Suggestions.
Failure to report bugs and instead using them for your own benefit/gain will be met with a severe punishment that may include permanent ban and a wipe of your character/items.
14. Items Possession.
All items, money and weapons in your inventory must be roleplayed on your character’s person. If you don't want to be caught with an item or your character’s entire life savings, we have features in homes that can be used to store items you don’t want on your person.
Examples:
1) John Doe has a rogue headband on his person but claims that he ‘stored it elsewhere’.
15. Rank Rules
Ranks are put in place for a purpose; they are here to provide stimulation to the roleplay setting to keep balance to not only story but to a government and shinobi military system. Without stabilization then the roleplay can’t flourish, the village will become weaker; the faction will become weaker or broken, etc. If you are a rank do not neglect your position or if it was given to you as a starter or as a reward do not turn around and become a rogue for merely no other reason than ‘I am powerful now’. (This rule applies only to starter ranks)
16. AFK rules
When a player is AFK you must follow these rules when taking actions against them. You must roleplay all actions towards them and then wait ten minutes to see if they will be coming out of AFK or if anyone around the area is going to interrupt your action.
17. Hostile & Flee Roleplays
Actions such as fleeing, stealing, attacking, destroying, killing, trapping, etc. should be of sufficient length and quality to the action being taken. They should also explain what it is you are doing and why it is you are taking the action. But should not be any less than six quality sentences detailing such action. Killing, mass robbing, or destroying large amounts of items should be more a longer more elaborate roleplay.
If someone is captured, imprisoned, or has an action done to them which could potentially cut off their roleplay, then it is obligatory to roleplay with them in one way or another. You cannot lock someone in and cut their roleplay off. If a player is cut off from roleplay for more than one OOC day, they may Admin-help to roleplay escaping, of course they must deal with any NPC’s supervising them.
Players cannot randomly kill players or rob buildings at the drop of a dime with little to no reason. If your background consists of habits regarding a short temper, or anything of the sort regarding this sort of behavior, then you must at least give generous amounts of role-play before an ultimatum. And even then the player should react with breaking bones, scarring or severing limbs before resorting to killing. Solely for the sake of preserving, promoting, and expanding roleplay experiences for all. No one wants to put a lot of time and effort into a character just to be snuffed out without warning. When players are killed off early or shortly after making a character, it can discourage them and cause them to give up or quit. Which in turn gives us less players, and in turn gives less roleplay which results in a dying server.
Leaving a hostile situation requires a roleplay stating as such and then waiting for OOC or IC approval from all parties you are permitted to leave.
When joining a hostile roleplay one must start the further possible away from the target (where a roleplay is still visible), and post an entrance roleplay, before entering the battle. You may only enter a combat situation ICly two rounds after arriving OOCly.
18. Scouting
To scout you must roleplay arriving, and then leaving. You cannot run into an area OOC, instantly dip, and relay information. Both of these must be done from the furthest point able within vision distance and the use of a bunshin or roleplay flag to mark your position may be used as you move closer to be in roleplay range. If you are capable of scouting outside of normal sensing/sight range, Admin-help for admin assistance.
19. Flaming & Trolls
Everyone has their fun with jokes but keep the flaming and trolling to a minimum. This is an act of not only OOC hostility, bullying, but also just a general annoyance that makes the server overall look bad and lacking in a nice community for all players.
21. Handseals
The maximum allowed hand seals in a single role-play without Tier 1 Handseals, is five hand seals.
22. Speech during Hostile Roleplay
ICly speaking outside a roleplay two times during a battle forfeits your roleplay turn for the next round if your opponent decides to call it. In other words, you must accept whatever your opponent roleplays if you speak, whisper, or use a radio communication that was not roleplayed in your previous post.
23. Age limitations
For various advances on the server there will be age limitations simply because some ages just don’t make sense for child soldiers that are overpowered and can outfight a six foot tall fully matured adult. It’s simple logic.
1) Perk progression:
a. Tier 1: 4 years old without genius/prodigy, 3 years old with genius/prodigy
b. Tier 2: 5 years old without genius/prodigy, 4 years old with genius/prodigy
c. Tier 3: 10 years old without genius/prodigy, 9 years old with genius/prodigy
2) Jutsu progression:
a. D Rank: 4 years old without genius/prodigy, 3 years old with genius/prodigy
b. C Rank: 5 years old without genius/prodigy, 4 years old with genius/prodigy
c. B Rank: 8 years old without genius/prodigy, 7 years old with genius/prodigy
d. A Rank: 10 years old without genius/prodigy, 9 years old with genius/prodigy

28. Advanced KG’s
If you already have a clan or a special KG then you will not be allowed a second KG without proper medical alteration. You can’t for example have Ice release and Uchiha, nor can you have Hozuki and custom doujutsu. The only case where this isn't applied is double advanced elements rolled on creation.
29. No EZing
No EZing, this means no spamming your practice jutsu verb(You can only use this verb three times after your roleplay using a jutsu), it also means no spamming the same roleplay/periods/or unrelatable content repeatedly to gain RPP, as well as you are only allowed to click 'read scroll' -once- for each paragraph roleplayed.
31. RPP Purchases
If you purchase something with RPP, there are NO REFUNDS. The only exception to this rule is if the game caused a glitch in which we will give you a refund. This also goes for if you think that you may be reaching your perk limit, if you think you are close to your perk restriction for your rank, SCREENSHOT YOUR ENTIRE PAGE so that we can verify that it is a recent screenshot and refund you your RPP.
34. Invisible Henge
Henging an NPC, or anything else, to make your icon invisible for any reason is prohibited.
35. Scroll Learning
You must hav the following to create a scroll: 10 intel for D ranks, 15 intel for C ranks, 20 intel for B ranks, 30 intel for A ranks, 60 intel for S ranks. You are also not allowed to learn a jutsu from a scroll that is more than 1 skill rank above your current skill ranks. I.e. you are a C rank so you can only learn up to a B rank.
36. Learning New Elements
The base cost for learning an element outside of your natural affinity is 3000 RPP. You can have the cost lowered based on how skilled your teacher
37. Alt Spying
Using alternate characters in order to spy on roleplay in other parts of a village/in other villages will not be tolerated. If you are not actively roleplaying on the character and it has displayed habits of alt spying you will be warned to roleplay or leave the area, if you refuse you will be booted. If you continue the spying, that individual key will be banned.
38. Mission Rewards
Any person found to be giving out mission rewards beyond what is approved will be stripped of their verbs and the abused exp will be deleted from the person it was given to. You are only allowed to complete 3 missions an OOC day. All B rank or higher missions -must- have an EC, unless they are ‘spar a higher ranked shinobi’ mission, which require a full letter grade higher ranked player. Keep in mind that a kage does not have to give you the max missions a day, it is up to IC if they gives you that many missions or no missions at all. Gate guarding cannot be a rewarded mission. Kage's may assign guarding to people but unless there is an EC involved they cannot be rewarded EXP.
Genin: Max Mission Potential - 1 B, 2 C or 3 C’s or a combination of C’s and D’s (no more than 3 D’s for -total- missions in a day)
Chuunin: Max Mission Potential - 2 B, 1 C or 3 C’s or 1 admin approved A rank
Jounin: Max Mission Potential - 2 B, 1 admin approved A rank or 3 B etc
39. Buff/Stance Stacking
There are two types of jutsu buffs in the games, one are physical buffs and one are stances. You cannot stack multiple stances together, the same applies to physical buffs. You are however allowed to stack one stance with one physical buff, even then, there are some exceptions to this rule. There are other techniques that function as buffs, but are considered passives. Things like Sage Mode, Curse Seal, and so forth can be stacked up regardless, given that it's effectively like having a new beefed up 'base.'
Example of Stances: Karate Style: This person uses the techniques of the classic Karate style.
Example of Physical Buffs: Earth Spear, Lightning Armor, Kaguya Dances.
