If confirmed, I would issue a verbal warning to the player involved, explaining the server rules against random killing. If the behavior persists, appropriate escalating punishments, such as a kick or temporary ban, would be applied according to the server's guidelines. You are asked by a player about how to join a faction: I would respond promptly, providing clear and concise information on the steps to join a faction. This includes directing them to the relevant forums or in-game procedures, and ensuring the player has a smooth and informed experience while entering the roleplay. You catch somebody not performing RP and messing around: I would approach the player in question and engage in a conversation to understand the context. If their actions are indeed disruptive and not contributing to the roleplay environment, I would issue a verbal warning, reminding them of the server's serious RP standards. If the behavior persists, punishments will be applied as necessary. Somebody acquires a rank but is not willing to RP with it properly: I would initiate a private conversation with the player, seeking to understand their perspective.

Rule knowledge: Explain the difference between Tier I rule-breaking and punishments and Tier II rule-breaking and punishments: Tier I rule-breaking typically involves less severe offenses, resulting in milder punishments such as warnings, kicks, or short-term bans. Tier II rule-breaking encompasses more serious violations, leading to harsher penalties, including longer bans or permanent removal from the server. Explain the difference between IC and OOC. Also, define Meta Gaming: IC (In-Character) refers to actions and information relevant to the in-game persona, while OOC (Out-of-Character) pertains to real-world interactions.

It goes against the principles of cooperative storytelling and is prohibited on serious RP servers.
