fuck man I haven't slept in four days because I'm just sitting around worrying about spaceman fartgame rule breakers. how could they do this. how could they break the spaceman fartgame rules. we must add more rules to make them stop breaking the rules. rule 32-h don't break the rules. there. it will finally be over now.
But in all seriousness, our rules exist as they do for a couple reasons: most exist because we've had issues with behavior outlined in them in the past, some because it's stuff we don't want to see on our servers in the first place (the no bigotry rule, for example). You can't kill people for RP reasons (like "I was RPing as a murderer so I killed that guy!") because the game already assigns people to be the murderer/the monster. If everybody can just go "I'm RPing a murderer" and kill however and whoever they like, then it can become a deathmatch round after round pretty easy. That totally changes how the game is played. It gets old.

Most multiplayer minecraft servers have rules or plugins to enforce things being played a certain way. I've played on quite a few no-rules/griefing-allowed MC servers before, and they can be fun. You know what happens in them though? People kill you all the time, especially if you've just spawned. It's a constant struggle to stay alive until you can hide or get enough gear to fight back. That's fun for a while, but sometimes you just wanna chill out and build a house or something.
How would you feel if, instead of being able to join up as a clown and RP out your cultist thing, some guy just sat in the arrivals shuttle and killed you every time you spawned, before you could get a single word out? If we didn't have a no metagaming rule, he and a buddy could sit on skype and do that over and over, silently. You'd never get to do anything but join and die. How long do you think it'd be before you just said "fuck it" and left?
Or, being SS13, someone could go out of their way to just blow everything up. You join up and there's no station at all. Just space, you have nowhere you can go and nothing you can do. And there's probably a guy in the arrivals shuttle who kills you immediately, anyway.
I'm not saying the whole "struggle to survive every second" thing isn't fun sometimes, but it's not how our admins and community as a whole want things to be every round. So we need some rules. If you'd like to try your hand at running a no-rules SS13 server, I'd be interested to see how it works out. Please feel free to try hosting
our last release from March 2016 or any of the open source SS13 codebases and give it a try.
If you have any specific questions about our rules, I'm happy to try and answer.
