The Project Narnia Code

Server rules

The short version of the law of the land. The full rulebook ships with the server; these are the ones that keep the city standing.

Rule the first

Roleplay standards

Project Narnia is a roleplay server before it is anything else. Every interaction should make the story better for everyone in it.

1.1
Stay in character
Once you are in the city, you are your character. Keep out-of-character chatter to Discord.
1.2
Value life
Treat your life, and everyone else’s, as if it were real. Comply under clear threat; nobody robs a bank while outnumbered six to one.
1.3
Quality over victory
Losing a scene well beats winning it cheaply. Play to the story, not the scoreboard.

Pow! (with cause)

Violence is part of life in Project Narnia, but it always needs a roleplay reason and a fair build-up.

2.1
No RDM
No random deathmatch. Killing another player requires prior roleplay engagement and proper initiation.
2.2
No VDM
No vehicle deathmatch. Your car is transport, not a weapon. Running people down without roleplay is a ban, not a tactic.
2.3
Initiate properly
Hostile action requires clear, audible initiation the other party can reasonably react to.

This issue: our hero dies

Death matters in Project Narnia. When your character goes down for good, that chapter is closed.

3.1
New Life Rule
When you die, that life’s memories, grudges, and conflicts die with you. Do not return to the scene of your death or re-engage the same conflict.
3.2
No combat logging
Disconnecting to dodge death, arrest, or any roleplay outcome is a serious offence.

No peeking!

The story only works if everyone is working from what their character actually knows.

4.1
No metagaming
Information your character did not learn in-game (stream snipes, Discord whispers, a friend’s callout) stays out of the story.
4.2
No powergaming
Do not force outcomes on other players or roleplay abilities you do not have. Give the other side room to respond.
4.3
No exploits
Bug abuse, duping, and cheating of any kind are zero-tolerance. The persistent economy only works if it is honest.

One community

Out of character, we are one community. Keep it worth belonging to.

5.1
Be excellent to each other
No harassment, hate speech, or discrimination. That goes for in-game, on Discord, and anywhere else in the community.
5.2
Working microphone
Voice is the heart of Life roleplay. A working, comprehensible microphone is required.
5.3
Staff decisions stand
Disputes go through reports on Discord, not arguments in the city. Staff rulings are final in the moment.

Subject to revision

Rules evolve with the city. Questions about a ruling, or an edge case the Code doesn’t cover? Ask the staff team on Discord.
