Unprovoked Player Aggression

• As an organization, GII does NOT allow unprovoked player aggression. 

• Unprovoked Player Aggression: Acting outside of the interest of GII by attacking or engaging another citizen without them provoking you first. 

• Examples will be listed below.

• GII is a safe, informative, and encouraging environment for all members of the Space Tomato Gaming community to work together and enjoy Star Citizen.

• Including the ability to test the various aspects of the game that are being iterated every year.

• However, one must always think of their communities when they part-take in community-affecting activities.

• Star Citizen has a reputation system that will actively account for your actions and change the way in-game characters and factions respond to you.

• While it has not rolled over to organizations, it will eventually.

• The reputation system keeps track of who in what org is committing murders regularly and this tracking system influences the Organization’s reputation, whichever org you may be in. 

• Many Player-Run groups and event hosts take our general practices and who we are friends with into account when they choose to interact with other groups. 

• We are one of those communities who seek other safe and enjoyable communities when we look to interact with other groups.

• GII’s main goal is to maintain a good org reputation both in-game and real-world. 

• We want a good reputation to be able to allow for the best business opportunities for our members. 

Piracy Guidelines

1. Player-conducted piracy aggression against NPCs is fully permitted.
   1. Aggression towards NPCs only hurts the player’s reputation and not the Org’s reputation atm. 

2. Any criminal missions, storylines, or activities you would like to do that do not affect other players, you are free to do so. 

1. This is subject to change based on how reputation is handled, but any change will be announced at that time.

2. NO Player-Conducted Piracy Aggression against other players!

1. Unless you are engaging with players who have been warned and/or are being considered aggressive. In this case, you are free to defend yourself without repercussions.

3. Fighting with Xenothreat or trying out the new interdiction functionality on others is tolerated, however, it is frowned upon and repetition will result in disciplinary action.

1. The members with the type of playstyle we look for in GII don’t find themselves in this position often. This is why you are allowed to experiment occasionally.

2. While it is not against the rules to experiment with it, GII does not want you to make a habit of affecting other people’s experiences under the name of “experimenting”.

4. Getting caught participating in events, situations, or gameplay that might hurt the Organization’s reputation, you will be given a DYC, a Decaying Yellow Card. 

1. These cards will be recorded but will decay over time, and therefore will not stack over multiple months unless offences are repeated.

1. Even if you do take a step too far and affect somebody else’s gameplay enough that it is reported to staff, we will look at each specific situation individually and decide whether a DYC should be given.

The DOs and DON’Ts of Aggressive Gameplay 

Now let’s talk about a few examples of what is okay, and what would get tagged by the card system.

DO! – The things are that are A okay to do, if you want to do them-

• DO take over Jumptown
  • Make sure to warn obviously docile or confused players before you fire. If they don’t comply make the judgement call.
• DO build a crimestat to bait bounty hunters to come attack you!
  • Only kill them first if they attack you and come TO YOU.
• DO take any criminal mission chains in-game.
• DO run drug-trade convoys.
• DO claim a mining claim and protect it with deadly force.
  • If other players do not comply with communications and intrude.
• DO challenge others on the server to come fight you and then smack them down.
  • As long as both parties agree to fight, it is okay!

DON’T! – If and when discovered, these actions will result in disciplinary action-

• DON’T drop bombs on Jumptown unprovoked to kill those taking part just to kill them.

• Killing everybody at Jumptown is obviously necessary given the theme, but if you aren’t actually trying to accomplish something other than killing, please refrain.

• There will be exceptions that may need to be explained if we get complaints.

• DON’T find and kill innocent players to bait bounty hunters to come attack you.

• Use other ways to bait bounty hunters.

• DON’T extort other players that are not violating GII boundaries or practices.

• If a player is violating GII boundaries such as mining claims, bases, active mission areas, or other denoted areas lethal force is encouraged.

• DON’T participate in unprovoked killing of other players who are running drug-trade convoys or other non-violent missions, steal that stuff instead!

• Really though, unless you’ve taken a bounty or reward, consider your reasoning for the kill.

• DON’T insult other players to provoke them into fights.

• If proof is presented that you were provoking someone into a fight through verbal assault you will be judged by our own internal rules.
  •  This can be perceived as bullying if repetitive.

Thank you for keeping your whole community in mind while playing. Together, we all make a great team! Looking forward to playing with you.
