Rules

The same rules as in our Discord.

📜 Community rules
  • 1. Respect everyone. No harassment, hate speech, slurs, discrimination or personal attacks, in Discord or in game.
  • 2. No NSFW, gore or illegal content.
  • 3. No spam, advertising or self-promotion without staff permission.
  • 4. English in public channels so everyone can follow along.
  • 5. Keep drama out. Take problems to a ticket, not public channels.
  • 6. Staff decisions are final in the moment. Appeal calmly through a ticket.
  • 7. No impersonating staff or other players.
  • 8. Follow Discord's Terms of Service.
🤠 Roleplay rules
  • 1. Stay in character. It is 1899: no phones, cars or modern talk. Out-of-character talk only in /ooc or Discord.
  • 2. Value your life. Act scared when a gun is on you; you would not win every draw.
  • 3. No random deathmatch (RDM). Violence needs a real roleplay reason and build-up.
  • 4. No metagaming. Never use information your character could not know (streams, Discord, voice).
  • 5. No powergaming. Don't force outcomes or do what a person in 1899 could not.
  • 6. No combat logging. Don't disconnect to escape a situation.
  • 7. New life rule. After you wake at the doctor, you forget the events that led to your death.
  • 8. Crime needs build-up and lawmen. Robberies and bank jobs need the minimum lawmen on duty.
  • 9. Horses are part of your story. Look after yours; a horse that dies without a reviver is gone for good.
  • 10. No exploiting bugs. Report them in a ticket; exploiting them is a ban.
⚖️ Punishments
  • Warnings → temporary bans → permanent bans, depending on how serious and how often.
  • Cheating, exploiting or hate speech can be an instant permanent ban.
  • Every punishment can be appealed in a ticket.
