These pages are meant to serve as an expanded list of various rules found within the !motd.
It's paramount to understand that it is nearly impossible to make a statement for every rule in existence. It's also restrictive on roleplay, so use your common sense in many situations.
At the end of the day, LISTEN TO STAFF! Please use common sense, if something doesn't seem logically correct, then it probably isn't!
Here is a brief version of the lore we use at SBS Galaxy of Magic:
After magic was created by the Greek Gods, they were inspired to build what is now the prestigious Starbright University of Magic in order to continue its succession and pass down the knowledge and wisdom of magic to their descendants and future generations to come. Starbright is a highly sought-after magical university known and attended by scholars across the galaxy.
Main Server Rules
- Enforcers/Instructors calling Detain on Sight (DOS) for troublesome scholars.
- Enforcers stating Reason for Detainment(RFD). [May be stated in OOC as well.
- Instructors stating that Permission to Speak (PTS) is active in their classroom.
- Instructors allowing scholars to temporarily leave their class (HALL PASS).
- Void ransoming a kidnapped scholar.- Roleplay leaders calling for a meeting with their forces
- Passive roleplay; you may only Telemail your passive roleplay if you are on an acceptable job and not just to communicate globally in RP.
Examples being Gamemaker events, Sentinel patrols, and others. Keep in mind to not clutter the chat.
Examples of unacceptable Telemail:
- Typical DarkRP 'adverts' such as mug, kidnap, murder, etc.
- Calling for a staff member (use @ chat).- "How do I do this?"
- Party at x location!- And more.
Note: Do not use the chat coloring feature to mimic the yellow or green text of Telemail or admin chat, respectively. Doing so will be considered loopholing and you can be punished.
New Life Rule:
Similar to other roleplay servers, we utilize a system that we refer to as NLR. This system prevents players from returning to an area or roleplay situation in which you previously died, not by RDM*, for ~3 minutes or 200 seconds.*If you're confused about your death, ask a staff member.
Here are some basic rules about our NLR:
1.) Accidental deaths such as crossfire, failing to cast Lykisku/Nebulus before hitting the ground, or being pushed off an area to your death still invoke NLR.
2.) The size of the NLR area is not fixed and is relative to the situation, such as the Colosseum or a kidnapping in process.
3.) Celestial/Void attacking the Colosseum will be prohibited from entering the area around the Colosseum and the Colosseum itself should they die for a valid reason.
4.) If an instructor validly dies outside or in a classroom in which they then have an active class in they are allowed to enter the classroom to begin/resume teaching.
5.) You should not return to an RP situation should you die during it. For example, if you are following a void captor then a rogue void job kills you, you may not use Nebulus to get ahead of the void captor and try to kill him again, regardless if the captor moved areas.
Kill on Sight (KOS):
1.) If you are to witness a rogue revealing themself within the university boundaries, you may telemail a KOS on said rogue.
2.) Once the rogue is under KOS, they may be killed by any celestial member that sees them outside of the forest.
3.) A KOS lasts for 2 class periods OR until the rogue dies.
4.) You may post in OOC (to prevent OP clutter) if you are the rogue and have died, thus meaning your KOS is over. E.g. /OOC I have died, my KOS is over.
Telemailing:
1.) When telemailing for scenarios such as revealing an undercover void, You need to include the reasoning behind it.
2.) In a scenario of Instructors giving rewards, You must Telemail the reason for the rewards you are giving.
