Rules of Engagment (R.O.E)
I. THOU SHALL NOT DEFILE THE FALLEN: Looting is not tolerated in SmE and if you are caught looting other than to recturn the stuff you will be removed from the stone with no warning.
II. THOU SHALL WARN THY ENEMY OF ATTACK: It is MANDATORY that some sort of interaction always proceed combat. This serves two purposes: It makes sure that Your enemy is responsive, we NEVER attack an enemy who has lost connection/consciousness. It allows the opportunity to role-play a bit before the arrows, spells, and blades start flying. This rule does not apply in the case of ambushes, for obvious reasons. However, the consciousness of thine enemy should still always be determined.
III. THOU SHALL SHOW MERCY IF NEED BE: If someone you are fighting emotes *CEASE*, that is an out-of-character request to end the combat. This emergency emote is only to be used in an extreme circumstance, such as if there are potential looters or murderers in the area. Likewise, if you believe that someone in the area might interfere, call for the combat to stop.
IV. THOU SHALL NOT FEAR DEATH: If Your character perishes in a role-played combat (guards and murderers do not count, unless the murderer is an Orc character there to drive off looters), after being resurrected you are to remain in death robes, don't talk, and don't participate further in that battle ( After 30 Minutes thee may remove thy robe and interact). Death robed players that follow this rule are not to be attacked. Death robed players may loot their own corpses. This rule is to add a small bit of consequence to death, and to allow the survivors of a battle to determine the course of the event. As such, do not communicate any helpful information to those who are still alive. All you should do after dying is return to Your corpse and gather Your things. You may also help in ressing others, Protecting others belongings from Looters . You may stay and watch the end of the battle but are to remain out of action and out of the way.
V. THOU SHALL NOT VIOLATE THY CODEX: If you violate these rules, you will be brought up on charges and face very serious Punishment that will include being dismissed from SmE. If a warring guild member violates these rules You are to leave the area and report this violation to Zemeckis, do not attempt to resolve the problem Yourself as these matters are better left to the Leaders Out of Character through Pigeons.
