These are the rules of SOT.  The brief version is at the top with each
rule explained in great detail at the bottom.

    bottom, regardless of whether or not you have read this file.

2.  You presence here is a privilege, not a right!

3.  Respect other players and the immortals.

4.  Do not cheat! This includes multi-playing.

5.  These are OOC rules and using roleplay is not an excuse to get out of
    these rules.

6.  Please use the correct channels.

7.  See the punishments section below.

LONG VERSION:

1. DISCLAIMER:
   By playing here you agree to ALL rules, regardless of whether or not you
  have read this file.  By playing here, you also agree to the following:
  a.  You do not hold the owners or other immortals of this mud responsible
  for any bad things that happen to you as a result of playing here.  This
  includes but is not limited to mud addiction, harrassment from other
  players, exposure to adult or offensive material, and losing characters
  and equipment as a result of not following these rules or from crashes.  
  b.  We (the immortals of Scourge of Time) assume you are at least 18 years
  of age or you have a consenting adult who understands that you may be
  exposed adult oriented or offensive material and that the mud is based
  upon mortal combat.
  c.  You agree that you know you may be exposed to adult material, including
  curse words or material that is sexual in nature either in areas or in
  actions from other players.

2. Your presence here is a privilege not a right. Obey any orders from gods, and
  you will be fine.  Deletion does not require a reason, appeals are to be sent
  to the implementors (although we will give the reason anyway).

3a. Respect other players and the immortals.  Do not curse at immortals or players.
  We are more relaxed with language on public channels than some muds. However,
  we ask that you do not direct any swearing at a player or immortal on any
  form of communication (including tells, notes, and emotes).  Do not use any
  derogatory terms directed at any (human) race, religion, ethnic background,
  gender, or sexual orientation.  Do not harrass players out of character.
  Threatening any player or immortal out of character is unacceptable.

b. Do not kill other players outside of arena areas.

4a. Cheating will not be tolerated.  This includes accepting favors from gods
  and exploiting bugs. If you find a bug, report it, then do not use it. Do
  not crash the mud.  Do not attempt to hack the mud, the mud account (including
  player files), or the server that hosts the mud.

b. Do not steal from other players

c. Sitting around idle (including botting) with a client is hazardous to your health. If we catch
  you doing it, you will lose half your playing time, or you may end up in an
  undesirable location.   See HELP CASINO.

d. No multiple logins, multiple playing, or helping your own characters with
  other characters you own -- by ANY arrangment.
  EXCEPTION - you may exchange equipment in Midgaard (no spell casting though)
There are other rooms (rooms, not areas) where it is legal to exchange eq: Cheesy in Gimpville, Igor in New Thalos, Georgio in Norcynki, Scott in Downtown Gimpville, shaman in Jungle village, gnome in Fizzledink, Greeter in Casino, Charsi in Diablo, Gimpville locker room.
EXCEPTION #2 - you may set up gate mobs but please: set up for other players too and don't kill other peoples' gate mobs if you do this.

5. Using "roleplay" is not an excuse to get out of these rules.  If any
  roleplay seems to "test" the rules, please make sure who you are rping with
  will vouch for you.

6. Please keep Out Of Character (OOC) stuff on OOC channels and In Character
  (IC) on IC channels. 

7a. First offenders of rules generally will receive nochannels/nomusic/notell, lose of experience,
  WANTED or A$$HOLE flags, or purged/disconnected.  We may also freeze a
  character for a couple of days for more extreme violations or place you in jail.  Multiplayers will generally be penalized with loss of experience.
 
b. Repeat offenders of any rule may be frozen, site banned, or deleted.

c. These rules are subject to change, and good suggestions for change will
  be considered.

d. Write the IMPs (Scourge and Clare) if you feel you have been unfairly
  punished.

In other words, respect others, don't cheat, and you'll be fine
