Welcome to Triassic Park

Server Administration:
1. Server admins will announce when they enter and leave admin duties via the broadcast message function. This serves 2 purposes:
a. Transparency on admin usage to prevent abuse. Admin abuse will not be tolerated and will result in loss of admin abilities and possible banning from the server.
b. Players are informed when an admin is functioning as an admin or player. Admins will NEVER be functioning as both simultaneously. Any admin who is caught violating this rule will be removed as an admin and possibly banned from the server.
2. Server Updates:
a. Small updates will be done late at night/early morning when the server activity slows down. Unless the update impacts the ability for players to log in it will wait.
b. Large updates will be dine immediately when steam updates.
3. Server admin reserves the right to reissue any tribe leader agreed starter packages at any time to prevent player loss.
4. Server admin reserves the right to adjudicate all wrongdoing situations to prevent player loss.
5. The Server admin will not abuse powers to retain players that were defeated within the rules with the exception of any starter packs the server is currently issuing.

Settings, Mods, Rules:
1. Tribe leaders have the right to challenge any setting, mod, or rule. They may also propose new ones. The challenge/proposal will be polled to every Tribe leader. Majority vote wins.

Cheating:
1. Cheating in any form will not be tolerated. This includes but not limited to bots, aimbots, ESP, scripts, macros, any other software that allows for automation or changing/manipulating game files from the client to the server or server to the client.
2. VAC/EAC anti-cheat software hits will result in automatic ban. No questions asked.
3. If caught in suspicious gameplay by the server admin. The admins assessment will be presented to at least 3 3rd party tribe leaders for a ruling. If the tribe leaders unanimously vote for a ban the ban will be upheld. If the tribe leaders do not unanimously agree, the server admin reserves the right in any case to ban.
4. If any player has repeated suspicious activity the likely result will be a ban. Although every player is a valued member of the server, when it comes to cheating no single player is worth the integrity of the server.

Base Building:
1. Bases can be built anywhere on the map, including caves. See PVP rules for special location rules.
2. If you encroach on another base’s territory, defined by “within reasonable arrow hitting distance” from the outer most wall. You can be evicted by the encroached tribe.
a. The server admin is the final decision on reasonable arrow hitting distance.
b. The encroacher does not have the right to evict the encroached, but has the right to defend themselves, keep their base there, and raid the encroached under normal PVP rules.
c. If the encroached chooses to attempt to forcefully evict, the encroacher receives the same rights as the encroached. For Example, Tribe A moves in on Tribe B’s location. Tribe attempts to forcefully evict Tribe A. Tribe A successfully defends themselves and now has earned the right to forcefully evict Tribe B.
d. Derelict structures especially spam blocking areas with structure parts will be removed by the admin on request by any player. Spam blocking is not permitted. Temporary structures no longer utilized placed while raiding another base will also be removed by the admin on command. Utilize sleeping bags and other itmes that do not block building while raiding if post admin demolish is a concern for you.

PVP Rules:
1. Players level 10 and below are off limits to PVP unless they engage. Do not grief new players period!
2. Raiding:
a. Raiding at any time is OK.
b. If you raid offline players, do minimal damage to get the goods.
i. All defensive weapons and their power sources are considered within the parameters of minimal damage.
ii. Killing offline players is OK.
iii.The only exception to these rules is for a territory dispute. In which case it’s all fair game for the party that was encroached on.
iv.The only other exception will be delineated in section C.
v. If you have any grievances over the conduct of these rules the server admin has all ability to correct any wrongdoing to favor the wronged party.
c. Raiding for complete demolish is OK at ANY time in the following locations:
i. Caves
ii.The NE Island
iii.Mountain tops
iv.Obelisks
d. Raiding online defending players, everything is fair game.
i. If a player chooses not to defend himself or concedes then offline rules apply for minimal damage.
ii.If the conceded player in anyway attacks the raiding party during the raid after concession, then everything is fair game applies.
e. Raiding general comment: Common Sense and decency applies. Not everyone is a hardcore PVPer. Do not grief. You won. Take the goods and call it success.
3. Dinosaurs:
a. Passive herbivores should not be killed while based. Neutral and above herbivores are fair game based.
i. These are considered herbivores when on passive:
1. Trike
2. Stego
3. Parasuar
4. Ichthyosuarus
5. Mammoth
6. Ankylosaur
ii. Violations of this will be adjudicated by the server admin.
b. Carnivores are fair game 24/7.
i. Everything not listed above is considered a carnivore or base defense dino and fair game.
ii. There will be zero sympathy for killed dinos in this category.
c. All dinos in use by a player to include tames in progress are fair game. The intent of the passive herbivore protrection is to protect total offline killing. The intent is not so that players can frolic all over the map with immunity taming an herbivore army.
4. Tribe vs Tribe declared War
a. If each tribe equally accepts to war against each other. The all is fair game until a concession.
b. If one tribe doesn’t accept agreement of war, then normal PVP rules apply.
c. Tribes allied with the warring tribes fall under normal PVP rules unless they equally agree to war. For instance Tribe A and Tribe B declare war one each other and Tribe C as an alliance with Tribe A. Tribe C is not fair destruction game. They fall under normal PVP rules unless they agree to war as well.
