SERVER RULES

We are quite happy for you to all go and murder each other, set fire to the map, camp locations and be shitheads or nice people. But sometimes you have to keep it inside an acceptable level of "shithead-ness".

The rules below are here to keep things fair and for everyone to be able to survive in a fun way. They are detailed as people like to bend the rules and waste time.

Discord Rules

Basics

✭ (1) English/German in side chat only! If an admin can't read what you are saying then speaking privileges will be revoked.

✭ (2) No inappropriate names (inc “Survivor” "Admin" "Server Owner" Etc) You will be asked to change this one time.

✭ (3) No Duping (Instant Ban) We have loggers which make this very VERY obvious to us!

✭ (4) No Combat Logging (1st Warning, 2nd Stripped of Gear, 3rd BAN).

✭ (5) Purchased vehicles are your own risk and they are glitchy. No refunds are given unless you have a clear video of it exploding for no reason. Any other reason is on you.

✭ (6) Racist language will = Instant Ban (inc anti-black/anti-white racism).

✭ (7) Using the N word in any format will be an instant Ban, (This includes calling someone a "Cracker"). Any combination of the N word no matter how hidden will be the same result.

✭ (8) No religious or political bullshit unless you are screaming for your god to help you as you run through the woods!

✭ (9) Advertising other servers is an instant Ban without appeal. It's a dick move, don't do it.

✭ (10) Using any admin tag or name will be an instant Ban!

✭ (11) Bending the rules or trying to get between the lines will get you banned. "I fell through the wall but killed those 3 people because I was trapped" will get you punished.

✭ (12) Do not send admins friends request or DM’s to “sort stuff out”, raise a ticket and wait.

✭ (12) Pretending to be an admin is an instant ban, it causes no end of headaches.

✭ (12) If you are told to stop doing something.... then stop doing it.

Claims

✭ (1) The accuser will produce a video of the infraction, no video = no claim. If you cannot provide a video, then we can't honour any claim.

✭ (2) Your video evidence is reviewed by at least 2 admins, they will come to a decision independently (we will argue and fight if we differ) and then assess the response.

✭ (3) If there is no evidence the accused will always be believed, however unfair you feel this is, it's on you to show the offence, not make us guess who we believe.

✭ (4) If you haven't got evidence then let us know that someone needs to be looked into and accept there won't be a claim.

✭ (5) Once we decide, no amount of screaming will change the result without new evidence.

MAking A Claim

✭ (1) We know people have BetterDiscord and can see tickets, who has raised them and hidden rooms. If you log a ticket about a complaint you will be given a link to another discord via DM

✭ (2) Make a ticket with the following three letters only for a complaint about a player: Z6C (Zone 6 Complaint).

✭ (3) An admin will then send you another Discord link to file the complaint

✭ (4) Once dealt with, you will be removed from that discord so we can make sure nobody is lurking and reading tickets.

✭ (5) Make a ticket with the following information:

✭ (5a) Your in-game name

✭ (5b) Their in-game name

✭ (5c) Account of what happened

✭ (5d) YouTube link to your video of the accusation

✭ (5e) The time stamp of when this happened

✭ (6) If you don’t have a video, we will 100% not investigate it, we are too busy to babysit arguments between people.

✭ (7) If you are reporting someone knowing you are not claiming and you want us to watch someone or you suspect it, then you don't need a video, we will investigate it

Hackers / Script Kiddies

✭✭ Hacker: Someone who can write scripts or use code to access tools or features to be annoying or malicious.

✭✭ Script Kiddy: Someone buys the scripts from a website and presses 1 key to activate it, and then calls themselves a hacker with no clue what they are actually doing.

✭ (1) There are very few real hackers in this game, but a lot of script kiddies. If you spot one DON’T go shouting Admin in side chat, raise a ticket and let us go investigate.

✭ (2) If you are found to be hacking or being a script-kid all your ID's will be shared with a global ban list and permanently banned.

✭ (3) If you suspect you are playing with a script kid then report them or you’re at risk too. We won't give away who let us know and it will always be played out we "caught" them to hide this.

Safe Zones

✭ (1) The spawn location (Train Station) is a safe zone, you cannot escape it. Once you take the train you have 30 seconds of god mod so use this to run away and get your bearings!

✭ (2) The Safe Zone is 600m from centre to edge which gives you 3.8Km of entry and exit space... at 601m you can fight all you like.

✭ (3) No edge creeping the Safe Zone, you may camp the edge of a Safe Zone but you may not move in and out to give yourself Safe Zone protection.

✭ (4) If you are in combat you are not to move back into a Safe Safe Zone to escape a fight.

✭ (5) If you are on your way out and you spot someone then you are free to stay in the Safe Zone, log out or move away to another exit location.

✭ (6) You cannot follow someone out of the Safe Zone and then kill them, if you do then you will be punished.

✭ (7) If you are running with a group you will not engage them or them you, once you exit the Safe Zone. If you see this start recording and report if you are fired upon or engaged in melee.

✭ (8) You must have been hit (not just shot at) and the attacking player must have it on video that you were hit, and it was obvious you were in combat.

✭ (9) Claiming you "saw blood" isn’t good enough unless you have it on video.

✭ (11) Stealing from the floor is not allowed at Safe Zones if a player or players are sorting or swapping inventory then you cannot touch it unless given permission or if all the players move away.

✭ (12) If you are given permission this is either in side chat so we can see. If you say "they said I could" and no video or side chat... then you didn't have permission.

✭ (13) Vehicles at Traders are off limits, even if unlocked, you don’t touch or get in them. If you get in and the player drives you out the Safe Zone and one of you kills the other, this is acceptable.

IMPORTANT

✭ (14) Use the trash bins or scrap dealer to trade or bin your unwanted shit, do not drop it on the floor. If you are seen doing it, non-edible/lootable Bears and Wolves will be spawned on you.

✭ (15) Vehicles left at traders will be deleted if seen for more than 1 restart

✭ (16) Blocking access to the Safe Zone trader is against the rules

Combat Logging (Running to Desktop)

What IS allowed:

✭ (1) If you are in a base and you are being raided, you may log out under the following:

✭ (1a) Your base has not been breached. i.e. there is still 1 door between you and the attackers.

✭ (1b) You have not been shot and/or hit with melee directly. Spraying walls doesn't count.
✭ (2) If you are outside of a base and you are being shot at and hit then you may log out, if they can’t be arsed coming out the base, that’s pot-shot and or defending, not combat.

What IS NOT allowed:

✭ (3) Logging out if you are in a base and a single path to your location as the attacker or attacked is free, then you are IN combat.

✭ (4) Logging out if you have been attacked by someone outside of a base wall or gate or door that is closed behind them. If they can't immediately get back in you are IN combat.

✭ (4a) If any doors, gates or missing walls are open and the player could run back in and hide then you are NOT in combat.

✭ (4b) You must have a video of an open gate or door or missing wall, no video then you ARE in combat.

✭ (5) Driving off and logging out within 1km of being attacked by someone with a firearm or explosive that hit the vehicle.

✭ (5a) Melee attacks on vehicles don't count.

It is common courtesy to allow players to build a small base or perimeter wall before attacking them. Attacking them while they build is not against the rules but a shitty thing to do.

Combat Evading (Running to Safe Zone)

What IS allowed:

✭ (1) If you are on your way to the traders and you are shot at you may continue on your way. If you can make it there, then fine.

✭ (1a) Zig-Zagging in the direction of the Safe Zone is acceptable.

✭ (1b) Logs will be checked to see if you bought anything to see if you had no intention of trading.

✭ (2) If you are in a vehicle and on the way to the traders, then you may continue on your way. If you can make it there, then fine.

✭ (2a) Driving in wide curves to avoid being shot in the direction of the Safe Zone is acceptable.

✭ (2b) Logs will be checked to see if you bought anything to see if you had no intention of trading.

✭ (3) If you are followed out the Safe Zone and then attacked by them you may return back to the Safe Zone.

✭ (4) If you are followed out the Safe Zone and then attacked by another group then report it.

✭ (4a) If players have been found to be playing with each other or grouped will be treated under rule 5(6).

What IS NOT allowed:

✭ (5) Changing direction from a sustained movement of more than 90 degrees to then run for the Safe Zone to avoid combat IS combat evading.

✭ (6) Changing direction from a flanking movement of more than 90 degrees to then run for the Safe Zone to avoid combat IS combat evading.

✭ (7) Changing direction from a sustained driving direction that doesn't not follow the road to the Safe Zone and is more than 90 degrees to then run for the Safe Zone to avoid combat IS combat evading.

✭ (8) Getting into a vehicle then heading to the Safe Zone after being engaged in combat IS combat evading.

✭ (9) Standing on the edge of the Safe Zone, shooting or melee hitting then running into the Safe Zone. Once you shoot or melee someone you are in combat, doing this IS combat evading.

Note: Engaging in PVP, you MAY:

✭(-) Shoot on sight

✭(-) Lay traps

✭(-) Run people over

✭(-) Camp behind doors for days on end, weeks even.... years!

✭(-) Throw grenades into houses

✭(-) Spike bottles of water and leave them for players to find

✭(-) Sit in a bin/dumpster for 11 weeks

✭(-) Trick people into being your friend

✭(-) Lie to them, then kill them

When Killed

If killed, do not:

✭ (1) Be salty about it, just brush it off and either loot or go back for your body.

✭ (2) Call out where you were killed in general chat, if you want to tell your teammates in voice that's acceptable.

✭ (3) Threaten or try to bully the player, if you are not good enough to kill or outwit them, loot somewhere else.

✭ (4) Report them for cheating without a very strong evidence pack.

✭ (5) Start screaming down Discord and causing a toxic environment.

✭ (6) Threaten the server with DDoS or Hacks, we won't even warn you, you will be banned and reported to the ban list for that.

✭ (7) Threaten to DOX or "get" the IP of anyone. Instant ban and the above report.

✭ (8) Start screaming the rules are shit, the server is shit the admins are shit, Instant ban as we don't need that.

If killed, do:

✭ (9) Be Nice.

✭ (10) Say well done and nice shot!

✭ (11) Rage a little but then calm down.

✭ (12) Ask if your stuff is there and try to get it back.

✭ (13) Carry on playing.

Base RAId

✭ (1) There are two types of base where one can be raided and the other can't.... sort of!

✭ (2) The non-raid base can still be raided but you need to kill the owner as they come in or out. That base has 1 door with a level 6 code lock which cant be raided. However there are limitations with this base:

✭ (2a) There is a limited storage amount.
✭ (2b) You cannot place additional storage in or around them (40m).
✭ (2c) You cannot have a main base and one of these non-raid bases.
✭ (2d) There is a single door, once opened the base is at risk and if killed the killer has full access.
✭ (2e) If you can access the base either with it open or after you have killed the player, it can be raided.
✭ (2f) You can sit and guess the combination if and access it that way.

✭ (3) If you are being raided you cannot build walls to block in or stop the raid. You must defend it with violence or diplomacy.

✭ (4) Offline raiding is allowed as there is a raid protection item you can deploy in game to protect from this. If you don't use it then you are at risk, however it comes with its own side effects and process to obtain it.

✭ (5) You do not need permission to raid.

✭ (6) You must not log out in the base, if you spawn in inside the base you must not kill the base owners but they can kill you. Beg them to let you out or die, those are your only two options. Saying "but my PC crashed" won't fly.

✭ (7) Glitching through walls or pushing players through walls by manipulating gam mechanics or using lag switches will get you banned.

Clan / groups

✭ (1) A clan or group is limited to 6 players (8 if you are a non-base raiding paragon group).

✭ (1a) Paragon group are players who act like hero's and not bandits.
✭ (1b) They don't KoS, raid, loot after killing or only partially loot a small amount and generally try to help out.
✭ (1c) Paragon players must earn the paragon status by nominations.

✭ (2) A clan who attack a Paragon teams base cannot exceed 6 players even though they may have up to 8. It's easier to be a bandit than a nice person, deal with it.

✭ (3) A clan who exceed 6 players will be told to stop the raid, the raid members will be watched and if more than 6 are in a raid area the names will be checked against known players.

✭ (3a) We can see who was where and we can see if you are or have played with that team.

✭ (3b) The attacking players can be attacked by anyone in or around the base.

✭ (3c) Random players may turn up and fight but they may only attack the attackers and cannot take part in either the base raid or the spoils unless:

✭ (3c.1) They kill all attackers and take over the raid to which they become the "attackers" and the original team may then re-engage the new attackers.

✭ (4) A clan who raid a base cannot raid or attack that same base for 3 weeks.

✭ (5) A clan cannot constantly bully the same player/s or constantly hold 1 area of the map.

✭ (6) Team Killing for loot boosting will result in a full clan bank wipe, then a ban regardless of who participated in those actions. ✭ (6a) This includes team killing to farm trophies, skulls, hearts, meat, money or loot. We have logging scripts to catch this.

✭ (7) If you kill a clan member, you may wear their custom gear, sell it or urinate on it if you wish.

✭ (8) You may buy clan gear from the trader and wear it, but they might beat the shit out of you if you do.... your call.

✭ (9) Clan gear (if available) will be a predefined set of clothes you can customise under the following conditions:

✭ (9a) We do not take payment or donations of any kind for any reason.

✭ (9b) You may ask an admin to make the gear set for you and the script to add it for a fee but:

✭ (9b.1) this DOES NOT go towards the server or the owner.

✭ (9b.2) this is for their time and is between you both under that condition.

✭ (9c) You cannot change the colour of the clothes only add your logo to them.

✭ (9d) You accept that any player may wear or buy them once on the server.

✭ (9e) The loot holding capacity cannot be changed.

✭ (9f) You cannot request other clothing types.

✭ (9g) Images are clean and safe.

✭ (10) There will be a locked storage limit of 2 safe of any size per group member except the MonsterBoi safe. This safe is only for solo, duo players.

✭ (10a) If a player suddenly gets a MonsterBoi safe and leaves a group or is seen to be farming parts for one that will be deleted once you have built it.

✭ (10b) The MonsterBoi safe can be upgraded to be nearly impossible to raid without a lot of work, clans using this to hide or safeguard loot will be considered a loophole.

✭ (10c) We have tools to see who is with who, who swaps loot with who and who gives to who, you won't hide the fact you are a ghost clan member.

✭ (11) There will be an unlocked storage limit of 2 single or dual crates up to the max team members.

✭ (12) This means a Paragon base may have up to 16 safes and 16 crates, all other bases 12 safes and 12 crates with any qty combination inside that amount between the players

Winners table

✭ (1) There is a winner table in the trader to show who are the top 10 gun slinging sharp shooters. This is awarded in the following way.

✭ (1a) Longest shot is number 1.
✭ (1b) Lowest calibre is worth more.
✭ (1c) A moving target is worth more.
✭ (1d) The first shooter to get the kill stats ahead even if matched with another player.

✭ (2) Rule 1c will only come into effect if rule 1a and 1b are matched. A kill on a moving player isn't counted unless the distance and calibre are matched.

✭ (3) Players found cheating or teaming to get the longest kill will never be allowed on the board again... we have scripts which check this.

✭ (4) Weapon switching after you let a long shot go in order to get a lower calibre will result in rule 3.

✭ (5) All kills need to be recorded with sound to be entered and must match the logs from our scripts.

Punishments:

✭ (Level 1) A warning

Will be given in private.

✭ (Level 2) A 48h Ban:or all your gear removed (at a random time) your choice.

An admin will turn up at any point and remove all your gear.... yes we will do this when you least expect it.

✭ (Level 3) A 72h Ban and 50% of your bank or base holdings deleted:

Up to 25% of the deleted value will be given out as game prizes or compensation

✭ (Level 4) Banned with 1 Appeal Option:

- If you have been banned for being a shithead, then the server will decide if you can return or not. If there are not enough players then Admin will decide

- If you have been caught cheating or being a script kiddy, racism or threats then admin decide

✭ (Level 4a) Banned After An Appeal: Lifetime Ban

No Appeal will be given for this

If you have been caught cheating and its very obvious then you will be added to the global ban lists of other servers. We dont do this lightly and we will only do it with full evidence and where those ban list owners assess ifd our evidence is good enough. So it goes through 4 stages to be sure.

Updates and Amendments:

This list will be updated and amended

How To Appeal:

A Discord Link will be sent to you, all details will be in there
