6.5 ‘Play to Win’ Mentality

Having a ‘win’ or ‘w’ mentality or only playing to win is not only discouraged, but repeat and obvious offenders will face disciplinary action. This applies to everyone including criminals and law enforcement. Players are expected to use common sense and accept scenarios where the outcome is not the outcome they desired.

1. ‘Play to Win’ mentalities extend to economic hoarding beyond reason. There is a clear difference between a character being wealthy and working hard and a character only grinding and never spending any money or spending any time role playing. Please keep this in mind – it is absolutely fine to work hard and save money, but the character you play should not exist only to make money with no respite.

2. ‘Play to Win’ mentalities do not fit in with the culture of the Eclipse City community. Staff will individually speak to players who, after observation, are found to be bringing the wrong attitude to the server.

3. Law Enforcement are held to a higher standard of behavior, and cops are not invincible. Cop players have a responsibility to make sure that their powers are not misused or abused in a way that is damaging to RP or the community. LEOs may find themselves facing IC and/or OOC consequences for breaking certain SOPs without an RP reason based on context and scenario. These issues will be addressed on a case by case basis. If you feel you have been treated unfairly or that the LEO response has been disproportionate, please raise a ticket.

Remember that this is a roleplay server, and needlessly toxic behavior will not be tolerated. Take wins and losses gracefully and don’t let your OOC frustration in the heat of the moment bleed into your IC actions.
