Server rules Same rules as the F1 menu in game

By playing on Valhalla Networks you accept these rules. Staff may act on anything that ruins the experience for others, even if it is not listed.

1 Community

1.1
Respect

No harassment, slurs, discrimination or repeated insults - in game, on Discord and on the forums. False accusations count as harassment.

1.2
No cheating

No cheats, scripts, macros or exploits. Report bugs and map exploits to staff instead of using them.

1.3
No spam

No repeated messages, mic spam or soundboards in any chat or voice channel.

1.4
Advertising

Do not advertise other communities or servers.

1.5
Impersonation

Do not pretend to be staff or another player, and do not twist what others said.

1.6
Privacy

Sharing anyone's personal information (doxxing), DDoS threats or attempts to crash the server end in a permanent ban.

1.7
Ban evasion

Alternate accounts, VPNs or borrowed accounts to dodge a punishment are not allowed and extend the ban.

1.8
Donations

Donations are final. Chargebacks or fraud lead to a permanent ban.

1.9
Faction Discords

Faction Discords belong to Valhalla Networks and stay linked to the main Discord.

2 The setting

2.1
History, not ideology

Berlin 1942 is a historical setting. Playing a role does not endorse it. Real-world hate speech, extremist propaganda and slurs are forbidden - in and out of character.

2.2
Hard limits

No roleplay of genocide, atrocities, torture in detail, sexual content (ERP) or abuse of minors. Gestures and symbols banned by German law are not used on this server.

2.3
Controversial roleplay

Keep sensitive topics brief and serious. Caricatures of ethnic or religious groups are forbidden.

3 Roleplay

3.1
Stay in character

Out-of-character talk goes in // or /ooc. Use /me and /it to describe actions and surroundings.

3.2
Character names

Use a realistic name that fits Germany in 1942. No famous or historical figures, no joke names.

3.3
Metagaming

What you only know out of game (Discord, streams, OOC chat) your character does not know.

3.4
Powergaming

No unrealistic or unstoppable actions ("/me knocks everyone out"). Give others a fair chance to react.

3.5
Fear RP

Value your life. When you are outnumbered or at gunpoint, act like it and comply.

3.6
New Life Rule

After death you forget the events that led to it and do not return to that scene for 5 minutes.

3.7
Fail RP

Act like a real person of the period would. No bunny hopping, prop climbing or acting out of character.

3.8
Chain of command

Faction members follow orders of their NCOs and officers. Unfair orders are reported to staff, not fought out in character.

4 Combat

4.1
No random killing (RDM)

Every attack needs a roleplay reason that both sides understood. Insults alone are not a reason.

4.2
No vehicle killing (VDM)

Do not run people over or use vehicles as weapons.

4.3
Team killing

Do not hurt members of your own faction on purpose.

4.4
Heavy weapons

Anti-tank weapons, explosives and flamethrowers are for events and staff-approved operations only.

4.5
Spawns and bases

No spawn camping. Entering a hostile faction's building by force needs staff approval.

4.6
Vehicles

Stealing vehicles needs staff approval or agreement of both sides. No car bombs.

4.7
Arrests

Arrests, searches and jail time need a roleplay reason. Arrested players may not log off to escape.

5 Staff

5.1
Staff decisions

Follow staff instructions. Disagree politely in a sit or on Discord (player-appeals), not in public chat.

5.2
Reports

Report rule breaks with @ in chat or in #player-reports. Not reporting cheating or doxxing you witnessed is negligence.

5.3
No organised pressure

Petitions are welcome. Boycotts or groups threatening to leave to force decisions are not.
