Entering another faction's turf for the sole reason of provocation is not allowed, and is a punishable offense

Turf Expansion or Changes

If a faction wishes to expand or changes their turf, they must complete the application again. You will need to thoroughly explain the reason for the new turf, what in-character development lead to this expansion, and what goals/uses they will have for this new turf/expansion.

Character Kill (CK) Regulations

Agreements

Agreements for CK must be made via P:LS forum PMs or within your forum section (only if official) and available to be forwarded to the faction management in case of disputes. Agreement must shows the terms of CK and the person's response stating specifically that the person agrees to the term as written. Any other type of agreement will not be considered to be valid and will not be enforced. Note: Any attempt to forge/fabricate CK claims/agreement will result in a severe repercussions. If you have been killed and you don't know why, you may ask your killer for clarification. If you are the killer and are being asked this question you are obligated to tell them the reason behind it. If you are unhappy with the reason provided you may report them for further investigation.



CKs may only be done for IC reasons. OOC based CKs are forbidden.


Length of Agreement

CK agreements only valid while the faction is active & exists. All CK rights over any characters are expired upon the closure/termination of a faction. In the case of the character moving past/departing a faction that holds CK permission on them, they may request leadership to formally relinquish the CK permission on them. If both parties cannot come to agreement, Faction Management may be contacted to intervene.

Faction Leadership Overthrow

Description

In order for a faction member to successfully perform, they must be a high ranking member of the faction, I.E second-in-charge and or in a shared leadership position ("high council.") In order to force CK a leader out of the faction, you must PM Faction Management Council. before ANY action is taking in-game or OOCly to remove said leader with a sufficient reasoning, you must have the support of the majority of the faction members which should be confirmed over a P:LS forum PM along with a very valid reason to CK the leader out of the faction.


NOTE: Bare in mind this should come as a last resort, always do your best to work out the issues you may have with the leader/leadership, FM will be judging off of a strict basis when it comes to these scenarios.

Additional Info/Notes


• Groups who do not claim to be a faction (nor hold a thread) but operate as one will be considered and/or treated as a faction if deemed suitable.

• Any rule-breaking/non-RP behavior is punishable under both P:LS rules and/or factions RoE whichever applies. Your faction may be held responsible for your behavior, regardless if you are in a war or not, usage of alts included.

• Definitive reason must present over every attack and/or retaliation. Being in a war or small conflict is not a justifiable reason.

• Always keep track of your faction progression during, prior, and immediately after a war. The burden of proof to support any reports that you made is on you.

• Faction repercussions vary depending on the severity, including but not limited to; faction warning, strikes, ajails, bans, shutdown, reversal, removal, or anything else deemed suitable by the faction management.
