<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Welcome to Tsunami. This mud, like most others has a set<br />
of rules that it asks it's players to follow. These rules<br />
can not cover ALL of the guidelines, so use your common sense.<br />
If you see that something is not in the rules, but you think it<br />
is something that should be, DON'T LOOK AT IT AS A LOOPHOLE! Look<br />
at it as an additional guideline. The admins here ( level 1000 and up )<br />
do not have the time to write a complete rules file that covers every <br />
little rule that will ever exist. If we did, you would probably not <br />
read it anyway... So, in closing, please use your common sense..<br />
I don't want to hear anyone say, "It wasn't in the rules, so I figured<br />
I could do that." If it seems illegal to you, then it is.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you can not follow these rules, then please mail an admin, and<br />
have your character removed from the game.<br />
<br />
==Cheating==<br />
Cheating is a very serious offence. It will not be tolerated.<br />
This is a list of things that would be considered cheating. Just because <br />
something is not listed here, does not mean it is legal.<br />
<br />
===Reporting bugs===<br />
If you find a [[Bugs|bug]] in the game, do not abuse it. Inform an admin<br />
and they will take care of the bug. If you are caught using a bug,<br />
to your advantage, or to another players advantage/disadvantage, action<br />
will be taken against you.<br />
<br />
If you hear of, or see someone cheating, tell us. If you keep it hidden,<br />
you are as much at fault as the person who actually did the cheating,<br />
and action will be taken accordingly.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Wizard help===<br />
If a wizard offers to help you in any way, please report him to me, <br />
or another admin. If it was an admin who offered, report it to<br />
a god. If you accept the help, then you are as much at fault<br />
as the wizard.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Quest info===<br />
DO NOT give out any info about the quests. Many of you know the quests,<br />
but if someone asks you, don't give out the solutions, or even hints. <br />
Hopefully, there will be some new quests coming soon, so everyone will<br />
have to start fresh. If any info is given out, both parties will be <br />
at fault. If neither you or another player have done a certain quest<br />
before, then you are welcome to join together to solve it, as long<br />
as neither party has any prior knowledge of the quest. The downfall<br />
to this, is only one player will get credit for the quest.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Double logging and character sharing===<br />
Only one character allowed on at a time. Being linkdead counts as being<br />
on. One, all, or some of your characters can be removed if you are<br />
caught with more than one on at the same time. The only exception to<br />
this are administrators. An Admin can have his Admin on, and one<br />
other character on.<br />
<br />
DO NOT play another player's character, or let someone else play<br />
yours. Both parties would be dealt with in this case.<br />
<br />
If you dealt with a wizard over a problem, and didn't like the response,<br />
don't try shopping around to other wizards until you get a better response.<br />
If for some reason you need to talk to another wizard about the same <br />
problem, be sure to tell the other wizard about your dealings with the<br />
first wizard.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Clients==<br />
You may use a client for highlighting. That's about it. Most<br />
clients let you set aliases from within the client itself. This<br />
is allowed, but these aliases may not work on triggers (a trigger<br />
is an alias that goes off whenever a certain thing happens.. for<br />
example, every time you see '* died' it would 'eat corpse' 'get<br />
all'. THIS IS NOT ALLOWED). Bots are also illegal.<br />
<br />
Macros (anything that lets you send multiple commands at one<br />
time) are also illegal for use in wars. Pking, the other player v player<br />
interaction, uses the same rule set.Also, no matter what you call it, if something allows you to gain <br />
experience while you are not at the terminal, it is illegal.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Player killing==<br />
Summoning to aggressive monsters is ILLEGAL. Under no circumstances, can<br />
you summon another player to an aggressive monster on the mud. This does<br />
not hold true for wars. This does however include summoning to Aggressive <br />
zones, where the first room a person moves into they die. This rule is<br />
extended to putting aggro NPCs in common areas, like shops. We have<br />
aggro NPCs who follow, and from time to time they get out and kill PCs<br />
but doing it to grief is not allowed.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Communications==<br />
There are several means on Tsunami of communicating with<br />
other players on the game. These can easily be abused.<br />
Some forms of communication that are unacceptable:<br />
<br />
*Excessive use of profanity on public forums channels. This includes shouts and class conversations. Shouting an occasional 'FUCK!" when you die is ok, its when that becomes "You cock-sucking little asshole! I'm gonna come rip your dick off of you you prick!" that it becomes a -TAD- out of line, and will be dealt with by the punishment rules laid out.<br />
*Impersonating or attempting to impersonate a wizard is confusing to players and is not allowed.<br />
*Repeat messages for sole use to be annoying, or to distract a player for a short time is forbidden. Anyone caught doing this will be dealt with accordingly by the outlined punishments.<br />
*Not everyone playing has high-speed connections, so to make the game fun for all, a limit of 4 lines for shouts will be enforced. anthing more will be considered 'spam', and will be dealt with accordingly.<br />
*Any form of harassment is considered illegal. This includes, but is not limited to repeatedly attempting to communicate with someone who has made it clear that such communications are unwelcome.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Wars==<br />
Every so often, there is a war on Tsunami. The mud will be shut down, and will re-open with the war loaded. The same rules apply during wars, so don't tell us that you 'thought that was allowed in wars'. <br />
<br />
<br />
==Wizards==<br />
When someone has gotten the required experience and solved the required<br />
quests, they may become a wizard. To do so, go to the explorers<br />
guild, and type 'advance'. This does not make you a wizard, but it<br />
tells us that you have finished all the required things needed to <br />
become one, and you would like to be a wizard. You will then be made<br />
a wizard, if everything is in check.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Crashes==<br />
If the game crashes, we apologize. We will not reimbursed anyone for<br />
lost equipment, or lost money. Just remember, everyone who was on is<br />
in the same boat. If we see that the game is about to crash, we will<br />
give as much warning to the players as we can.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Punishment==<br />
If someone breaks one of the rules specifically written here, or<br />
in one of the other rules files, there will be no warning given.<br />
<br />
If someone breaks a rule that is not specifically written here, or<br />
in one of the other rules files, but the rule is common sense, and<br />
a retarded chimp would know not to do it, then no warning is given.<br />
<br />
If a player or wizard does something that is debatable, whether or not<br />
it is legal, then the admins will discuss it, and handle it appropiatly.<br />
<br />
A general outline of the possible punishments:<br />
<br />
:*1st offense - Experience/Money penalties<br />
:*2nd offense - Temporary banishment<br />
:*3rd offense - Not-so-temporary banishment<br />
:*4th offense - Permanent removal of ALL of your characters<br />
<br />
<br />
==In summary==<br />
Like it has been stated, this is not etched in stone. This is only a possible<br />
outline of what can happen if you are caught cheating. Each case will be<br />
dealt with separately.If everyone abides by these rules, everyone can have a fun time playing,<br />
and killing here on Tsunami. Thank you for taking the time to read this.</div>Atlas
