All Players
General Rules
All generic server rules must be followed (no racism, etc.).
Do not lie to staff about being freekilled in an attempt to get yourself respawned.
You must actively follow the wardens command — you cannot delay.
A special day can only be initiated if the previous day was considered successful.
Successful day means the previous round resulted in LR being active with no rebellers.
Ghosting is not permitted.
Ghosting is giving information relevant to the round being played while dead.
If a vent in a cell is not breakable, it is not considered a vent cell.
Example: jb_minecraft_beta_v4-2 vent cell must be activated by walking through it from armory, if it has not been activated it is not accessible and therefore not a vent cell.
Cell doors can only be opened once commands are given, unless a prisoner opens them first.
If cells are opened by any means before the Warden has given commands, the round will be a free day.
The first round of a map will always be a free day.
The warmup time does not count as the free day. It is there to allow players to join.
Your name must be readable so that you can be targeted.
Roman alphanumeric characters only.
Do not talk over the Warden while they are issuing commands.

Running towards a guard in a clear attempt to kill
Being outside of cells before cell doors have been opened
FULLY breaking a vent.
You must have a clear, audible microphone.
You must be willing to go as the Warden. If selected but you do not wish to play that role, you may unwarden if you have been actively wardening prior.
You must not bait yourself to terrorists. Baiting includes, but is not limited to:
Running towards a prisoner and goading them towards you
Getting into a prisoner's knifing range
Standing inside a marker placed by the Warden
Standing at the entrance or exit of a game prisoners will or have participated in
Blocking the path where prisoners are instructed to go
Prisoners may knife you while you are baiting, you can not shoot them for knifing you.
You may not give weapons to prisoners, unless it is an empty weapon (Toy Gun) with the Warden's express permission.
Guards must be involved in the round at all times, unless explicitly instructed by the Warden to hunt rebellers.
Favouritism is not permitted.
Displaying a clear bias over other prisoners.
If you accidentally free shoot a prisoner, you must take them to medic when suitable to do so.
If you accidentally free kill a prisoner, you must get an admin to revive them. If no admins are online, slay yourself somewhere your guns cannot be reached. If the prisoner requests you slay yourself even after being revived, you must comply.
Prisoners may only be killed as result of map games. Games such as "First Reaction Last Reaction" and "Trivia to pick players to die" are not permitted.
The winner of a map game may be granted permission to kill terrorists, up to 4 per game (subject to player counts).
Terrorists can not choose a non-map game to play which results in terrorists dying.
If there is one rebeller remaining, you must actively hunt them to avoid delaying the round.
Guards may not enter vents before 12:00, unless a prisoner is spotted or heard inside. Upon killing the spotted prisoner, you must leave vents immediately from the nearest exit.
You may rush vents if the vent cell has a broken vent and no prisoners inside.
You may rush vents if prisoners are missing after doing a head count AND the vent is broken.
You may not shoot into stacks. If a prisoner needs to be warning shot, instruct other prisoners to unstack from them first.
Warning shots should have reasonable delay, a prisoner must be awarded reasonable time to type questions to the Warden after commands are issued.
Upon Warden death, you must attempt to claim Warden immediately. All commands issued by the previous Warden are voided.
Non-Warden guards may only instruct prisoners to do the following:
Drop your weapon
Freeze for weapon checks
Throw projectiles which can damage Guards (decoys not included)
Guards must not spend excess time in armoury or re-enter armoury without hunting a rebeller. They should get weapons and leave immediately, armoury camping is not permitted.
Guards must leave armoury within 20 seconds of the round starting.
You must give a fair amount of time for a prisoner to complete a Warden's commands.
Terrorists must not be given an advantage in games unless otherwise earned.
All terrorists must start games at the same time, and where applicable, on the same health.
Terrorists may be given advantage (eg. exemption from the game) as a reward from the previous game, but they may not be considered the winner.
Guards may only enter secrets to hunt a rebeller they saw enter or heard inside, they must leave immediately after killing them.
