Mermedon Rules:

In the process of creating the website, I tossed the decision of creating well-based rules back and forth. In the end, I decided that simple guidelines function better as requirements for Faction members. After all, we aren't babysitters, and the point of being in a Faction is to have fun! However, if you wish to be a part of Mermedon, the following guidelines are required. Should you not wish to follow these guide lines or have conflicting thoughts, you may want to pursue joining another Faction. However, if they seem within your taste, please feel free to think more about joining us.

Faction Rules and Etiquette

1. You must read these rules.
2. You must be an active player.
3. Faction members are encouraged to attend events whenever possible, and to add to the event.
5. Internal Faction matters that cannot be solved between the parties WILL be solved by the leadership (you'll regret this more times then not) We are not babysitters and our word is binding.
6. When we hunt, we hunt as a group. Unwanted spoils are offered to the group first, then it is personal prefernce over clan then clan members.
7. Lying, cheating, or scamming other players is not acceptable behavior and is a very quick way to be removed from the Faction.
8. There will be no excuse for personal vendettas, grudges, or open bias between clan or there alliance members, we are cross race, profession, color, greed, sexuality, and political direction. If you're not happy about someone tell them, if you're told learn and change. (We tease everyone equally)
9. Treat fellow gamers and clan members and allies with respect at all times. (including the leadership we respect you and we expect the same.)
10. Pirates and Ninjas are on equal ground here. One is not greater then the other.
11. Communication is "KEY" to a successful Faction, if you feel that you are not being heard then speak louder.
12. All inter-clan communication should be through leadership or those specifically directed by leadership.
13. Your Faction is your family, it'll risk it's neck to save yours, you are to risk yours for it .
14. Faction crafters are not slaves, In addition, adventurers should try to gather/harvest materials for clan crafters.
15. Open theft and cowardice will be treated with the most stringent of manners as directed by the leadership of this Faction.
16. Be aware of your attitude in game, and on the official forums
17. AKA "don't embarasse the Faction" we want to have a positive (professional) image as much as possible.
18. Remember we are a core Faction, but if you have to disappear let someone know, or post up on the forums (forums are better) Also, if that means we all have to die repeatedly to achieve greater goals, so be it.
19. Rules are subject to change, but most likely won't
20. The Leadership is not always right, all opinions are heard when expressed at APPROPRIATE times.
21. Regular use of the forums, and Voice is a must. Especially during Dungeon runs, PvP Raid, ect. Parties even if you don't have a mic at least you can listen to the orders that are given by the group leader for smoother runs.
22. Use appropriate channel's for voice for the group, Parties, Afk, PvP Party, ect. as to not clutter up the Mermedon Member's Lounge.
23. Please refrain from countless use of obscene language and absolutely no sexual, religious, or racial comments are to be used on voice chat (be casual about it just don't go overboard with it), it is there for better organization in groups and PvP Raid parties, and perhaps future use for Seiges as well as a place to chat while gaming.
24. We Seem to be an EST/CST Faction that intends to play prime time, evenings 6PM-2AM.

Phase 1: We will also be doing a bi-weekly check to remove un-logged/inactive members as well.

If you must take a prolonged leave of absence, make a post on the forums please in the "general" threads of either the private sections or the open sections.

2. Maturity in Faction Chat (although we aren't that strict)
Players warned for excessive use of CAPS in faction chat will be removed if it becomes a recurring problem.
Players are expected to keep disputes limited to tells and to not bring drama into the faction chat. If there is a problem, please speak with one of the officers.
Players are to limit trash talking, please be aware of what you say before you say it. If you offend someone or make religious or racial remarks be prepared to be warned/kicked.

3. Attitude Towards Others
Our faction stance is just as before, guild neutrality. If you have a grudge against a guild or faction, keep it out. Do not tarnish our name. There will be no tolerance of talking down towards others.
RESPECT OTHER CLANS.(Least for now)
_________________________________________________________________________________________

PVP Related Matters (for everyone)

1. Rules
Mermedon will not enforce PVP rules, but we do ask you to keep it clean and respectable, at least, keep the trash talking down. This is a PVE server and we believe that players that are killed have themselves to blame, this goes for both clan members and non-clan members. Do not cry about being killed or camped, and likewise, do not complain to officers of Mermedon if someone is killing you, But asking for help is all good.

Bottom line: Think carefully before playing with a unclanned blue. This is a PVP Game.

2. Additions and Changes
Do NOT grief other players, nor camp them. Do not taunt them and please do NOT gank those who are considerably lower ability than you. There's nothing to prove in doing so, and you will only tarnish our name furthermore. It will not be tolerated. There will be NO open PVP to any specific faction, just have fun.

3. In Regards to fellow members.
Do not PK a fellow faction member BY ANY MEANS, unless given permission to do so.
