Vio - Serverrules
Important information first:
On Vio, the serverrules were created of pure necessity, to make the game playable for all players. Therefore, these rules are even above the principe of reallife.
Nevertheless, admins are allowed to interprete situations and circumstances according to the principe of reallife or to the rules that are listed here.
If a user violates against our rules repeatedly, he will be banned (in certain circumstances even permanently).
The adminteam of Vio-Reallife reserves the right to ban a player (temporarily or permanently) from the server, even if he doesn't violate against one of the rules that are listed here. This aims to keep the enjoyment of the game and the reallife feeling.
Also applicable is:
If a player reduces the enjoyment of the game for one or more other players massively (by provocation), he will be punished.
