Summary

General Conduct

No griefing, stealing, or entering builds that aren't yours. No hacks, cheats, exploits, x-ray, or duping. No harassment, racism, homophobia, or toxicity.

PvP only by agreement, war, assassination contract, or RP event.

Using House resources without permission isn't allowed.

Constant friction with others can get you kicked even if you're not technically breaking a rule.

Trying to rules lawyer your way out of consequences counts as breaking them.

Building

Match your House theme. No floating garbage or random structures. Build within your Region near your House HQ. Large projects need your House Leader's approval. If you abandon something, tell your leader so it can be dealt with.

Monopolies & Trade

Hard Monopoly means only that House can gather, craft, or sell it. Soft Monopoly means others can engage but must go through the owning House. Breaking a monopoly gets your stuff seized and your infrastructure destroyed. You can make things for personal use but if you're undercutting a monopoly you're smuggling.

Small trades use Coin. Large trades can be item-for-item but must be written down. Unfair deals can be challenged or voided. Houses can tax or embargo other Houses (must be public, written, and enforced consistently. Embargoes last max 2 weeks).

Regions & Wars

Don't gather from regions your House doesn't own except below Y-level -10. New lands open as the border expands (500 blocks every 5 days after the first week)—those are free to loot.

Houses bid on unclaimed regions with Coin. Your first region is your Official Region and can't be stolen. Everything else can be raided. Raids need 6+ members, limited explosives, House Ruler initiation, admin notice, and a public announcement 1 hour before. Swap the flag and hold for 3 hours to take the region. Combat stays within 30 blocks of the tower. One steal attempt per House per 7 days. Raided regions can't be raided again for 3 days.

Grievances

If your House gets screwed over—betrayal, bad deals, attacks—you can file grievances. Leads to public shaming, broken deals, taxes, or embargoes. Reputation matters.

Marriage

Costs 25 gold, needs an official, must be public. Divorce costs 10 gold. One marriage per 2 weeks to stop exploitation. Can unlock shared regions, trade pacts, and treaties if both Houses agree in writing. No auto-resource sharing, no region hopping, no free land transfers. Fake marriages for profit = ban and public shaming.
