CHEATING AND BUG ABUSE
Cheating is a very serious offense and subjects your character to a strike, or even a site ban.
What is considered cheating?
- exploiting (intentionally using) a bug to gain equipment or gold
- intentionally causing the system to crash
- intentionally duplicating equipment or gold
- knowingly accepting illegal equipment (see above) from others
- attempting to duplicate equipment or gold (even if not successful)
- using or making profit from equipment that was accidentally duplicated
- using gold that was accidentally duplicated
- using a script or triggers to enhance your characters performance
- using OOC information in a roleplay to your own end
Cheating hurts the game, and every player in the game. Protect yourself and report any bugs you find, and inform the Immortals if you have strong cause to believe someone is engaged in any of the above.
If you find you have accidentally duplicated an item, turn the item over immediately to an Immortal or drop and sacrifice the item.
Bots, scripts and triggers
Bots or scripts, the running of a character using triggers while there is no one attending it is unacceptable play. If a character is found to be utilising such triggers they will be punished. There is no place for a bot in a roleplay mud like Forgotten Kindoms. See help rules for more information. Use of scripts to make some tasks automatic is not acceptable either.
Additionally the use of triggers to give you an unfair advantage over others in game play is an offence. For instance a trigger to pick up a weapon after disarming is an offence.
The use of programs that allow you to walk from one destination to another is not allowed in this mud.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE USE OF ANY TRIGGER FOR ANY PURPOSE IS NOT ALLOWED ON FK!
The use of a bot is a strikable offence.
