# PvP Guidelines {% hint style="warning" %} *These rules are set to maintain a balanced and competitive atmosphere on our PvP servers. Remember, PvP is all about competition and rivalry, but there’s a line between intense gameplay and disrespect. Follow these guidelines to ensure everyone can enjoy the thrill of PvP without unnecessary conflicts.* {% endhint %} *Updated October 2024* ### 1.1 | **No PvP in Trader Zones** Engaging in PvP around traders is strictly forbidden. Traders are safe zones, and violations will be met with immediate action. ### 1.2 | **Choose Friends Wisely** Only ally yourself with players you know and trust. Betrayals happen, and it’s part of the PvP experience. ### 1.3 | **Accept Defeat, Seek Revenge** If you’re killed on sight, don’t get upset—plan your revenge. PvP is a battleground, and losses are part of the game. ### 1.4 | **Bag Ownership** If you’re killed and someone takes your loot, don’t expect it back. The bag belongs to the victor. You can fight to reclaim it, but it’s up to them whether they keep it or not. ### 1.5 | **No Exploit Abuse** Abusing glitches or exploits to gain an unfair advantage will result in a ban for the rest of the game cycle. Play fair or don’t play at all. ### 1.6 | **Respectful Usernames** Choose appropriate Discord and game usernames. Offensive or provocative names will not be tolerated. ### **1.7 | No Racist or Sexist Language** Hate speech, including racial or sexist slurs, is forbidden. You should already know what’s inappropriate—don’t cross the line. ### **1.8 | Cultural Awareness** Our PvP servers attract players from around the world. What’s normal for you might be offensive to others. Keep family members and personal attacks out of arguments—seriously, “your mom” jokes belong in the past. ### **1.9 | Follow the Chain of Command** Respect the hierarchy. If you have issues, report them through the appropriate channels—don’t take matters into your own hands. ### **2.0 | Respect Admins and Mods** Any rudeness or disrespect toward our volunteer Admins and Moderators will not be tolerated. They’re here to help, so work with them, not against them. ### **2.1 | No Unauthorized Advertising** Advertising other servers, Discords, or communities is not allowed here. Keep it focused on \[RS] Rogue Soldiers Clan. ### **2.2 | Friendly Banter vs. Trash Talk** A little trash talk is part of PvP, but if it crosses the line into harassment, both parties will be muted or banned. Keep it friendly or keep it to yourself. ### **2.3 | Report Suspected Cheaters** If you believe someone is cheating, report it to an Admin or Moderator—don’t try to handle it yourself. ### **2.4 | No Offensive Content** Posting obscene or vulgar content, including nudity or inappropriate memes, is prohibited both in-game and on Discord. ### **2.5 | Sensitive Topics Off-Limits** Discussions around politics, religion, or sensitive current events have no place here. If you’re trying to provoke or offend others, you will be muted or banned. ### **2.6 | Don’t Take Justice Into Your Own Hands** Vigilante justice never works out. If someone breaks the rules, report it—don’t retaliate. Acting outside of the process will get you banned just like the offender. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
