From LotJWiki

These are the rules of LotJ.

Numbered rules:

• (1) All player killing must comply with PERM rules. (bannable)

• (2) You may not share your characters or accounts or give them away to any other player. Players are restricted to one account. If two players wish to play from the same house, they must follow the steps outlines in the Multiplay article. (bannable)

• (3) Your alts may not interact in any way, shape or form. They may not share ships, items, information, agendas, goals, ulterior motives or vendettas. They cannot be related without immortal permission. When in doubt, KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID! Err on the side of caution.

• (4) If you are in a conflict, regardless of who instigated the fight, there is incentive to let the other person go. For two weeks, the player who was let go must curtail his revenge against the player who let him go unless he is provoked by that player.

• (5) Rmote and emote may not force roleplay upon others and emoted says must be in quotations.

• (6) It is illegal to log out, go link-dead or AFK while being attacked, arrested, or knowingly, and actively hunted or tracked by another player. You must wait 2 minutes after reaching a hotel or home to establish that you are no longer being pursued. If pursuers reach you before 2 minutes is up, the option to log out from that room is lost.

• (7) Players/clans may not keep someone in jail without diligent effort to roleplay with the jailed. Please see jail guidelines for more information.

• (8) Slavery is permitted on LotJ so long as both parties agree on osay, but it must adhere to slavery rules (bannable)

• (9) Spying must adhere to the rules in the spying rules. A rule of thumb regarding spying: If there is MUD code involved, you must have an approved spy-app. (PK, inform, letting someone know a key code, withdrawing bank funds.) (bannable)

• (10) You may not destroy ships on pads randomly or without cause. You may, however, attack certain ships if this would provide you with a strategic advantage, if you are engaged in battle with the ship owner, or if you are at war with the ship owner (clan or individual who is clanned).

• (11) There are specific rules governing how capital ships are handled in regard to fake signaling and planet capturing. Please see capital rules for the details.

• (12) Roleplay with sexual or mature content may never include minor players. Sexual role play with a child character is also illegal, regardless of player age and consent. Imposing sexual or mature role play onto others is strictly illegal. Whether it's a single suggestive comment or pose, a roleplayed rape scene (even the suggestion of it), or a derogatory sexual comment about another player, it is illegal. (bannable)

• (13) Roleplay is conducted in english only. If you wish you RP in another language, then go find a game that supports it.

• (14) Do not disrespect, insult, complain about, troll or harass other players, the RPC, or Immortals. Everyone is here for the enjoyment of the game. If you disrupt that enjoyment with insults your channel privileges will be revoked. (bannable)

• (15) No leetspeak on LotJ! We hate it.

• (16) If you bring a problem or concern to an Immortal you may not go to another Immortal for the same problem unless instructed to do so.

• (17) If you think someone broke the rules, speak to an Immortal or admin privately. Complaining to other players, either over OOC channels or on AIM/other chat programs, does not fix problems, it only makes them worse.

• (18) If you choose an alien race, you must roleplay it accordingly. Failing to adhere to racial role play styles will result in a warning by an immortal, and you will be given one week to adhere to the racial role play of the character you are playing. In the event that role play is still inadequate, you will be stripped of the race, and any applicable deposit will not be refunded. When in doubt, ask for advice.

• (19) Please do not ask the Immortals to restore items, levels, stats or credits lost in copyovers or crashes. They have no way of knowing if you really lost what you claim, so refusing all such restores prevents abuse.

• (20) LotJ is a reactive system. Immortals will not halt current roleplay. If you feel there is a breach of the rules, make sure you are logging and contact the staff when the situation is finished.

• (21) Multiclanning is illegal. You may not have two characters in different clans.
