ACTIVE CLARIFICATIONS

Clarification 6.3-A — What is a Diplomat

ADMINISTRATIVE INTERPRETATION
DIRECTIVE 6.3 — What is a Diplomat

RECORD: 6.3-A

STATUS: ACTIVE

ISSUED: July 21, 2026

AUTHORIZED BY: CEO

SUBMITTED QUESTION

What makes someone a diplomat

OFFICIAL CLARIFICATION

1. You preserve diplomatic immunity as long as both parties verbally confirm that you are a diplomat.

PERMITTED CONDUCT

• Once diplomacy is over the diplomat must be free to go.

Clarification 7-A — New Life Rule Abuse

ADMINISTRATIVE INTERPRETATION
DIRECTIVE 7 — New Life Rule

RECORD: 7-A
STATUS: ACTIVE
ISSUED: July 22, 2026
AUTHORIZED BY: COO

SUBMITTED QUESTION

Can a player kill and immediately revive another player to invoke the New Life Rule and erase what they witnessed?

OFFICIAL CLARIFICATION

No. Killing a player solely to wipe their memory is powergaming. Dialogue must come before lethal force. Lethal force is only appropriate when the information is substantial and verbal resolution is not a viable option.

PERMITTED CONDUCT

• Attempting verbal resolution before escalating to lethal force.
• Lethal force when information is substantial, dialogue is exhausted, and the situation is roleplayed out.

PROHIBITED CONDUCT

• Killing and immediately reviving a player to invoke the New Life Rule.
• Using lethal force as a first response with no attempt at dialogue.

OPERATIONAL EXAMPLE

Player A's plans are overheard due to their own carelessness. Rather than addressing it through roleplay, they kill and revive the witness and declare their memory wiped. This is a violation — dialogue was required first.

ADMINISTRATIVE REASONING

The New Life Rule is a roleplay mechanic, not an exploit. Abusing it to erase player knowledge undermines fair play. Staff retain full discretion to act on violations.

Clarification 6.6-A - Destroying Walls and Doors Without /raid

ADMINISTRATIVE INTERPRETATION
DIRECTIVE 6.6 - Raids

RECORD: 6.6-A
STATUS: ACTIVE
ISSUED: July 22, 2026
AUTHORIZED BY: COO

SUBMITTED QUESTION

Can you destroy walls or doors of a faction base without using /raid?

OFFICIAL CLARIFICATION

Yes, with substantial reasoning. During active conflict, whether a declared war or an active escalation at a faction's base, destroying walls or doors to reach enemies sheltering behind them is permitted. Crossing through into the base is what constitutes a raid and requires /raid. Player-built extensions of a base are not protected and can be attacked, destroyed, and entered without /raid.

PERMITTED CONDUCT

• Destroying walls or doors during active conflict to reach enemies sheltering behind them.
• Attacking, destroying, and entering player-built extensions of a base without /raid.

PROHIBITED CONDUCT

• Destroying walls or doors without substantial roleplay reasoning or active conflict.
• Crossing into a faction's primary base through a destroyed tile without an approved /raid.

OPERATIONAL EXAMPLE

NCR and Legion are in active conflict at the Legion gate. Legion members retreat behind the wall. NCR may destroy the wall to engage them, but the moment NCR steps through into Legion territory, /raid is required.

ADMINISTRATIVE REASONING

The /raid requirement protects factions from unsanctioned incursions into their primary base. Destroying infrastructure during active conflict is a natural part of warfare and does not by itself constitute a raid.
