CLAN RULES
These clan rules are for setting up a clan and general behaviour of clan members on the server. We are trying to keep this as simple as possible but there are bound to be issues that may arise. These clan rules are subject to change at anytime but the ADMIN team will inform any clan leaders of changes in advance.
** BASIC GUIDELINES FOR CLAN MEMBERS **
RULE 1 - To setup a clan on this server we require that you have at least 3 active members. The admin team can supply your own section on the forum if needed. If you have your own forum then we can obviously link to it.
RULE 2 - If a clan becomes inactive or leaves the server, they will lose all benefits granted to them and the admin team reserve the right to delete any custom sections on the forum that have been supplied. Clan members ships will have their tags removed
RULE 3 - Clan members may not fire upon non clan ships unless fired upon. The idea of this is to let non clan players travel the server without getting involved in clan wars.
** NOTE ** This does not mean a clan can use a non clan ship for trading purposes and escort it using clan ships. If a clan has a trade ship, this must also be in clan colours. Naturally if fired upon by a non clan player, the clan ship or ships can blow the attacker out of the sky.
RULE 4 - There will be NO TAXING of other players, other clan members or neutral players. This has led to more issues on other servers than any rule i can think of due to players refusing to pay the tax, so we've decided this is how it's going to be.
RULE 5 - Clans can declare war on another clan by making a formal declaration by the respective clan leader in the CLAN NEWS section on the server forum. A state of war will then exist between the said clans until a peace declaration has been reached. This entitles the clans involved in the war to attack each other on sight and generally carry on warlike activities. Peace declarations should also be posted in the CLAN NEWS section
RULE 6 - Alliances can obviously be made between clans. Notifications of such collaborations should be posted in the CLAN NEWS section. The simple reason for this is players are then kept up to date as to what is going on.
RULE 7 - Players may only be a member of "ONE" clan. This means you can have multiple clan ships as long as they only belong to one clan. This rule will be rigorously enforced to stop all sorts of nonsense we've seen regarding this matter on other servers. If a player wants to be in another clan, then they must leave their present clan and apply to the new one.
RULE 8 - All clan members should create their names so the clan name is either first or last but not both. Here are examples: [Yourclan]You, or You[Yourclan] but not a mixture of both.
** ACQUIRING A BASE OF OPERATIONS **
The way we've decided to do this is recognised clans on the server (see RULE 1) can apply for a base of operations. once your base is approved, this will then come under the influence of the clan assigned to it.
Applications for bases, assuming you meet the criteria, must be made by the relevant clan leader in writing to Gibbon or Zeus via a pm on the forum. The application will then be processed and hopefully granted.
Choosing a particular planet or a base is on a 'first come' basis so the sooner you apply for a particular base, the sooner you will get it. Once you have your base of operations, a news item will be posted and all players informed. From then on the above clan rules will apply to the base in question. Changes in clan circumstances must be reported to the ADMIN team as soon as possible. Failure to do so will mean you will be evicted from your base and it may even be reassigned to another clan.
We hope these rules are easy to follow. If there are any problems or suggestions then please post in the clan section as that's what a forum is for
