[[ Kaibura's (ZombieGenesis) Server Thread]]
Usual port link- byond://82.10.118.122:2889

-------------------
Why would I make a thread for my server? Basically because I am incapable of doing things by half. If I go for something, I tend to go all the way with it, and this shall be no exception. In this thread I shall lay down the basic rules of my server, common practices, my ban list, my honours list and even a selection of events. So without further ado, welcome to the first server of the rest of your life.
You're in my house now.

The Server Rules

----------------------------------

Granted that the server rules can be displayed on entering the round itself, however for those who wish to have a more in-tune knowledge of my guidelines I shall explain them a little more thoroughly. Also because I hate to jam up the chat window with a page and a half of rules that any competent player should know from the beginning. These regulations follow the basic DNO server rules, for they are the commandments, however I have added a few inputs of my own. It will go without saying I take these rules quite strictly, and any infringement would likely cost dearly.

----------------------------------

Need I Repeat: FOLLOWS BASIC DNO RULES.


What you can expect to see on entering the server-
Welcome to the strictest server of your life. I am your host Kai, so if you're gonna play, you had better play well. This server follows the basic rules with a few additions- 1) Roles are chosen either by voting or my exclusive selection. Anyone who begs, gets nothing. 2) If Kira or the Shinigami kill a player without a good reason, they will be destroyed without question. 3) If L or anyone else tries to use OOC or ridiculous evidence against Kira, I shall punch them in the soul. 4) Reapers Games will be held on my command, though these are optional. 5) My word is law. You argue, I erase you from existence. Now play nice, or you won’t be welcome back.

The Arm of Law
A more in-depth look at the laws of the land

(1) - Begging for Roles - One of the most frustrating things to see before an RP is able to kick off. In my server if you plead or hint towards a role, you will not receive it. I do not mind if you express favour over one role to another, but if you in any way try to lead belief that you are in some way better than the rest at a certain job I shall ensure you never receive it.

(2) - Unjust Killing - Obviously this does not just refer to Kira and the Shinigami. Anyone who kills a player without a decent reason that a majority can agree too will be deprived of their position and likely booted from the server. I have been in rounds where a Kira has killed merely for someone walking into his room. These people are not welcome.

(3) - Unfair Evidence - Perhaps one of the most hated practices of the game is when an enforcer of law uses OOC or unjustified information and tries to convict someone using it. For this I have developed a rule: "RP evidence may only be used when there is sufficient physical, in-game evidence in order to support it." Anyone deemed to be breaking this code shall be removed.

(4) - The Reapers Game - The RG will likely be a common event in my server, however that is not to say I shall initiate one in every round. I am often very annoyed by people who slander the RG merely because they have not read the rules in the forum, and in this situation I shall likely ban these people from the server as I could then vouch for their inability to read rules.

(5) - Spamming or Advertising - Since this is involved in the original rules I shouldn't need to add it in. However since I have my own regards to how much constitutes too much, I shall lay out a guideline. If someone takes to abusing the shout for something that could be said OOC, that is spam. If someone clutters the shout with similar messages [especially ones in cap lock] that is spam. As for advertising I can allow for someone to mention as to another server, so long as they don't seem to be prying away players. If anyone has the nerve to post a link to another server, that person is banned for all time. No regards to circumstance.

(6) - Common Courtesy - I left this out from the in-game rules description simply because I am giving players the benefit of the doubt. Regardless, if any player tarnishes common decency towards another person on my server the punishments shall be harsh. This constitutes groundless swearing, continuous insults, belittling their abilities without reason or just being an ass in general.

(7) - My Word is Law - And not just because I'm a training lawyer. If a player decides to argue with me, so long as that argument is fair and well presented, I shall listen. However if I regard their view as unsupported then that person will be punished. Since I have written the additional server rules, I do not see why anyone would find reason to argue against what I decide. However if they do, they should be prepared for the consequences.

----------------------------------


Scales of Justice
Standard punishments to fit the crime

Small Offences- Warning
  • Asking for a role
  • Speaking OOC in IC (without parenthesis)
  • Making a stupid public statement (as Kira, L, STV...)
  • Pestering another player
  • Mistaken spam
  • Tiresome OOC argument

NOTE: Most offences come with a warning first. Repeated offences lead to higher punishments.

Moderate Crimes- Boot or Mute
  • Intentional spamming
  • Ignoring a warning
  • Intentionally killing another player without good cause
  • Using unfair evidence
  • Slandering the RG (usually from lack of knowledge of the game)
  • Random Attacking or killing
  • Abusing roles
  • Most things considered a 'noob' action


High Treason- Temporary Ban
  • Announcing a new server with wish to lead off players
  • Persisting to spam [may result in full ban depending on content]
  • Irritating players or the host intentionally
  • Continuing to disobey warnings


Capital Punishment- Permanent Ban
  • Posting a link to another server during a round
  • Persisting to RA or RK after warnings
  • Using OOC or unfair evidence/reason after warnings
  • Making threats against other players
  • Repeatedly abusing a role
  • Generally getting on my bad side


REMEMBER: Punishments may vary under different circumstance

Common Server Practices

----------------------------------

What are common server practices? Basically speaking, these are methods that can be expected when playing in the server. Not so much unwritten rules as untold truths. Perhaps a few examples would speak better than an explanation, however many of these would likely be common protocol by now regardless.

----------------------------------


Common Practices
How you can expect things to be done

[ The Assembly Line ] - Roles will be selected in the Hotel Parking-Lot, which is just outside of the Spawn Point building. This is common on pretty much any server, but it's just so helpful for organising the players. So if you aren't in the line, you're that much less likely to get a role.

[ The Man in the Mask ] - Considering that the shop-keep can no longer sell masks to the public, their effects now contribute to all players who wear them. That is to say, so long as a person is wearing a mask, their names cannot be seen. If a person uses Shinigami eyes to kill a masked person, that is breaking the rules. It is also unacceptable for Kira to get the eyes and then claim "I saw them earlier"- if you can't see their bare faces after you have obtained the eyes, you have never seen their names.

[ Gift of the Gods ] - Much as the masks, I may inflict penalties if these guidelines are broken. A Shinigami should not hand the eyes over to anyone other than their own Kira- many people would argue against this, but the rules of the Death Note state they may only be given to the owner of the Death Note. Transfer ownership if you must, just keep hold of a piece so not to 'lose memory' of the book. A Shinigami should also wait a decent portion of time before offering eyes at all, a standard of 20-30 minutes is common. I'd prefer more.

[ You Are Under Arrest ] - Unlimited range jailing is something I hate. If L or N wish to jail someone, then they or someone on their behalf should locate the suspect and announce the arrest- RP handcuffing and explanation of why is always a decent way to go, and is far more fluid to the game than jailing someone from across the map without warning. If I decide a jailing is unfair or not fitting to role-play in this fashion, I shall release the person and perhaps remove the perpetrator from his role.

[ Kaibura's House ] - My house is the one to the immediate right of the library, just like in any server. Don't you forget it.

[ The Reaper Review ] - This applies to both Shinigami and those around them. If you hear a Shinigami but have not held the Death Note or a piece of it, ignore the Death God, or else face being shunned and perhaps muted. A Shinigami's duty is to watch over Kira, but also to keep them in line. If Kira seems to be breaking rules, or appears to be about to, the Shinigami is inclined to kill them and pass the Death Note to someone else. A Shinigami is also entirely in right to kill a Kira merely for not liking them...however this does not apply to other players, whom the Shinigami may not touch without appropriate cause. It is therefore advised that a Shinigami have two Death Notes.

Ban List

----------------------------------

As simple as it sounds: This is the Ban List. Here I shall post up any person who has broken the rules to an extent that a rejection from the server is necessary. This will include both temporary and permanent banning, and should allow for anyone who believes their expulsion unjust exactly why they were removed and give them a very slim chance to explain their actions. I would suspect most people, especially those on the permanent ban status, will stay there forever.

----------------------------------

Example:

Key: Beyond Birthday
Alias: Beyond
Status: Temporary Ban
Duration: 5 Days
Reason: Stealing Kai's pudding

----------------------------------

N/A


----------------------------------

Honours List

----------------------------------

The Honours List is a decoration of achievements within the server that I believe to be especially noteworthy. It also acts as a memorial to moments that were just too epic to be squandered without mention. These such instances may be a player in the role of L successfully and fairly subduing a trio of Kira's in a professionally enacted RP, or perhaps an imaginative stand-off the likes of which have been scarcely seen- such as a pistol duel or chess match (examples that have already been done but were memorable none the less). One of the primary reasons for this list is also to simply thank those who have played well enough to earn a spot in the 'honoured players' or 'white-list'.
I shall also keep record of the 'Top Honour' for the most impressive experience, and also the player who has scored the highest amount of Reapers Game points in this server.

----------------------------------

Special Events

----------------------------------

I have decided to take a step beyond using my server simply for the standard game openings and have instead taken to arranging certain events. These can range from tournaments, specially tailored rounds or even themes RP's. The events of the server will be posted here and I will likely put up a warning for a brief period before the event within the in-game rules, and more than likely I will specify the event within these rules on the selected day. If anyone has a suggestion as to an event they would enjoy seeing, feel free to message me.

----------------------------------


The Hurdles Ahead
Likely events that will arise in time

+ Reapers Game Tournaments - While not essentially the 'Official' RG tournament I may hold special versions on this server that will still count towards the overall points scores. The rules and variations of these tournaments are yet to be decided.

+ Tailored Games - A tailored game is essentially a round fitted especially to certain needs. For example, if a player challenges another player to a Kira vs L challenge, this would be a tailored match. Other such versions could be that L and N both arise to face Kira at the same time, or even that L takes on numerous Kira's at the same time.

+ RP Theme Match - Something I would very much like to see. An example of a theme match would be something along the lines of holiday-honoured rounds. For example, on Halloween (if the server is open) an all-day Halloween themed round would open where everyone plays their parts as though the holiday were taking part in the game. Perhaps a Christmas theme would also fit into this ideal, as would be quite pleasant. Other variations might include more drastic RP decisions, such as "L is actually evil" or "There is no kira, but a murderer in the hotel".

----------------------------------

Event Calendar

Hourglass Kira
In this round the game operates mainly as it usually does, however with a certain plot element turned on its head. Based on a theory of the Death Gods I had, in this game a Shinigami follows the usual rules of DNO- however they choose to break the laws of the Death Gods and give Kira an additional gift. When they accept the Death Note the Shinigami trades lifespans with the human. This means that the Kira would have only a few in-game days to live, however his lifespan increases with each non-NPC character killed. All other roles operate the same way and all deals with Shinigami remain, the lifespan alteration is the key plot difference.
Game Type: Tailored
Pre-selected Roles: Shinigami - Kaibura
Event Date: Friday 6th September

Life on Mars
Based on the cult British TV series "Life on Mars" which entails a modern Police D.C.I named Sam Tailor who was struck by a car and awoke in 1973. I shall not ruin the series in case you wish to watch it, however note that this themed RP will likely contain spoilers. Much as the series, this DNO adaption will involve all usual role and one bonus role. It will be this person who has found themselves in the world of Death Note and been unknowingly given a position with one of the games factions. It will be their job to discover whether they are mad...in a coma...or in a new dimension. With the aid of mysterious messages coming through radios and TVs, as well as a stranger who claims he can bring them "back" to where they belong...I hope this shall make for a very interesting RP.
Game Type: Themed
Pre-selected Roles: "The voices" - ???
Event Date:: Undecided

Notices

----------------------------------

Not so much as an announcements page, more so merely one of recognition or side-comments.
These will likely be changed often, unlike announcements, so check in regularly if you follow this server.

----------------------------------



Thanks to W for explaining how to get my server running in the first place, and to K because let's face it...she owns the place.

Considering I still haven't had much experience running the server the first few attempts will hopefully run smoothly.
