Time for a much needed rule
posted by Richard on Monday, March the 8th at 12:41 AM
As most of you will know, the amount of people shiplaming has been increasing by the passing day. Annoyed as we all got, we decided it was time for a new rule, a rule against shiplaming.
Everyone has their own description of what shiplaming exactly is. Let me explain how we see it and show you what will and what will not be allowed.
Shiplaming can be explained in several ways.
A player that has been in a gunfight, this means both parties shooting at each other, is not allowed to run on the ship to avoid death.
Leaving the ship, shooting someone / throwing a grenade and getting back on the ship is also considered shiplaming and thus isn't allowed.
Standing on the shiprail waiting to get shot is also included, if you need to idle on the ship for a minute, move away from the rail. This also goes for standing against the rail, just outside the ship.
Something that is allowed would be going on the ship on low health after winning a fight. However, this doesn't mean you can sneak out of a fight with multiple people if you happen to finish one of them off.
As I'm sure we'll have enough people breaking this rule, there has to be punishment for it.
If you're caught doing it the first time you will be jailed. Second time you'll be kicked. If you continue doing it after a kick you will be banned for 3 days. Repeated bans for this in the future will cause your bantime to double.
Note that you may be kicked at once if you were jailed before on several occasions. This is up to the crewmember dealing with the situation.
The rule will be effective immediately.
