  • A good tribute would be 300 Regals plus 50 Regals per member.
  • A sum of regals is not the only peace demand that can be made, factions may also surrender resources, or anything else that they have to offer.
  • There are still some rules related to warfare and peace. These are not guidelines, and are enforced by the Rules:
  • After peace has been accepted, there is a 10 days enforced truce between the warring factions, though can be extended longer by the involved factions if they want.

  • Do not create traps that one cannot escape from. Killing the player is a valid means of ‘escape’.

  1. A portal hidden in the ground by a slab or other means that teleports people into any of the traps listed.
  2. A portal that is advertised as being safe that leads into an unsafe environment or a gank room.
  3. A portal that leads to a method of instant death. This can include but is not limited to fall traps, instant harming potion rooms, or lava.
  4. A portal that leads to death over time, including wither, water, poison, or any other means of damage over time in Minecraft.
  5. A portal that leads into any room that you cannot escape from, i.e. a room that keeps you constantly moving.
  6. A portal that leads to another portal that traps you inside a portal block, making it unable to escape.
  7. Any portal that leads to a “gank room”, i.e. a room that is designed with the sole intent of trapping and killing players with superior numbers or with architecture such as cobwebs.
  • This rule does not apply to portals that lead into faction facilities.
  • Do not AFK grind McMMO skills.

Rules related to Faction Power and Claim

  • Every Player is entitled to 1 Alt Account per Player per Faction. Having more than 1 of your alts in a single faction will result in removal of the surplus Alts. This also applies to darkroom factions.
  • Every Faction should never have more than 50% of its members as Alts, unless it’s a darkroom faction.(See details on darkroom factions below.) Exceeding the limit will result in the Faction being disbanded.
  • Any person in a form of co-habitation (marriage/room-mates etc.) is still allowed to have one Alt. Please communicate such a status to staff when relevant.
  • Extreme Alt-abuse within factions (padding huge numbers of power claim with alts) will result in the offending accounts being banned and the faction in question being disbanded.
  • It is illegal to be overclaimed (thus have more land claim than possible) by more than 50%. Factions should stick to Power Limits.
  • It is illegal to sell or buy faction membership just to boost Faction Power.
  • Factions that are over claimed will have their overclaim unclaimed without warning.
  • You cannot claim land for the purpose of creating a raid portal.
  • Factions that exist solely as a market faction are not permitted.
  • For more specific rules on Faction Claim Abuse, please refer to our Wiki Page: [[1]].

Alt-Factions Rules

  • Alt Factions (I.e. ones that serve solely as storage, farms, and so on.) are not allowed.
  • Daughter factions (as long as not with specific purpose like the above) of bigger factions owned by an Alt are not Alt Factions.
  1. Daughter factions function as an extension of a parent faction, containing active members which the parent faction does not contain room for.

Darkroom Faction Rules

  • Darkroom factions are an exception to the alt faction rule, but they may not be utilized for anything other than a darkroom.
  • Darkroom factions are allowed to be composed entirely of alternate accounts.
  • Whether or not a Faction is an Alt Faction is up to Staff interpretation. Alt Factions, when found, will be immediately disbanded without warning.
