WesterosLive — Server Rules

A Towny Roleplay Server

1) Chat & Conduct

• No spam — repeated deaths or messages, town/nation relation spam, or letter/number spam.
• No personal insults, harassment, or bullying, including encouraging self-harm.
• No hate speech, slurs, malicious threats, or severe violence, gore, or abuse.
• No excessive political, heated, off-topic, or toxic discussion, and no excessive swearing.
• No inappropriate builds, subjects, or innuendo.
• No praising controversial regimes.
• No impersonating staff or players for personal benefit.
• No helping or tricking others into breaking rules.
• English only in general chat; local, nation, and town chat, plus books and signs, may be any language (breaking a rule in another language still counts).

2) Advertisement, Services & Links

• No advertising other servers or sites.
• No real-money trading for in-game items or services.
• No unrelated links; malicious ones (IP loggers, sexual content, etc.) are treated far more seriously.

3) Lag Machines, Farms & Art

• No heavy or laggy redstone, lag machines, slime-block flying machines, or 0-tick farms.
• Banned farms: piglin, enderman, iron golem, and pillager.
• Cobble-monster and faction bases will be removed.
• Pixel art outside claims is removed; NSFW or rule-breaking art is not tolerated.

4) Cheating & Exploitation

• No cheat clients, macros, x-ray/cave-finding, or other unfair-advantage mods.
• No exploiting bugs for gain (duping, combat logging, etc.).

Allowed: Optifine and performance mods, Badlion/Lunar (rule-breaking features still count), armor/effect HUDs, minimaps (no more info than our map), cosmetic packs, and Litematica (Schematica is not allowed).

5) Alternative Accounts & Bots

• One account per player — open a ticket first if you need to switch.
• No alts to bypass a punishment.
• No raiding or filling the server with bots.

6) Names, Usernames & Skins

• Town, nation, and item names must fit the Game of Thrones setting and its geography — no King's Landing in the North.
• Names can't copy or closely resemble an existing town or nation; non-compliant names get renamed to their location.
• Usernames, titles, nicknames, and skins must follow all server rules — no hate speech, sexual content, or other toxic material.

7) Claims & Griefing

• Don't block other towns with claims, or found a town just to block one (including long or uneven claim "arms"). Violating claims are removed with no refund.
• Claim spacing without a border agreement: a homeblock needs 15+ chunks from another town, a claim needs 6+ chunks, and an outpost needs 15+ chunks.
• No griefing (building, destroying, lava/water, etc.) inside a town you don't own, including ruined towns.
• Valuable entities — mobs, crops, stationary blocks, ores, bookshelves, beacons, conduits — may be taken.
• Griefing unclaimed structures is fine if away from claims and the terrain stays mostly intact; no large-scale terraforming outside claims.
• No griefing near claims, and no walkways or railways (including nether highways) connecting one claim to another.

8) Toxic Grind & Conquer

• WesterosLive is built for events and stories, not competition — there's no way to wage a war for conquest.
• Players or groups only here to grind, conquer, and "win" — and who turn toxic or hostile toward others doing it — will be permanently banned.
• Play the world, don't wage war on it.

9) Predatory Behavior

• Any predatory behavior toward minors is an immediate permanent ban, no appeal. This is the one line staff never negotiate.

Infraction Table

Punishments escalate with each repeat — the more you break a rule, the harsher it gets. Offenses fade after a year, so a clean record resets you toward the start. Serious cases can skip ahead.

Appeals go through the support channel, but infractions are rarely overturned.
