• No Meta-gaming

Revealing other player’s location/bases, directly and/or indirectly. - Example: "who is shooting in Vybor?" or "who killed me in Cherno?" is Meta. Asking for location is OK if you are not revealing anyone else than yourself. - Example: "Is anyone in Berezino?"

2. • Military/Police/Hospital are no-build zones

3. See map in 🏳┋territories.

   • You are not allowed to build/place on roads, pavements or water fountains

   Dead-end roads are an exception.

   • All bases need a raidable pathway in and be reasonably raidable

   You are NOT allowed to block off ALL your entrances or rooms by placing tents or other obstacles. This includes in/out for vehicles. You can't block off vehicles so they can't be taken. If a base has all entries blocked / or rooms/spaces blocked off with a wall or other object, it will be removed by admins. You can't block or restrict people from being able to easily place C4 on your gates. You can't force people to stand in barbed wire while they are planting/raidsawing. You can't force people to prone crawl to enter your base. You may not place additional layers of barbed wire in front of your gates/walls past the level of barbed wire that the objects allow you to add. Narrow pathways covered in barbed wire can not be so long that it would go beyond "reasonable raidable".

   • You can not take over someone else’s base

   If suspecting an abandoned base, make a 📩┋support-tickets and admins will confirm its current state. And only then are you allowed to take over a base. However, if the base do not have a territory you are allowed take that base.

   • When building gates/walls there has to be at least 1 player width (1 meter) between them

   You must be able to move between the two gates.

   • No tent-stacking

   You are allowed to have 1 small tent inside 1 big tent, nothing more.

   • Maximum 2 watchtowers stacked on each other! • Maximum 3 vehicles per group. • You are not allowed to use gardenplots as staircases/building structures! • A flagpole/territory defines a base; without it it's considered as a "hideout" or "stash" and anyone can claim it if raided.

   Build a flagpole before you start to build a base to prevent your base from being taken over or trashed. All builds, base/hideouts/stashes must follow basebuilding rules; meaning you can't block of all entrances or build gates too close to each other.

   • You are not allowed to place MMG Greenhouse in a way that it can be used as a lookout tower. Due to the fact that the Greenhouse can not be shot through, results in players exploiting its use for their advantage (scouting etc.). Any greenhouses placed in a way to work as a lookout will be deleted. (edited)

4. • Raiding is restricted during few hours on weekdays

   6 hours every night, Monday to Friday. For EU server time, see 🧨┋raiding
   For US server time, see 🧨┋raiding

   • No griefing. Griefing includes but is not limited to:

   - Logging out in another player’s base. - Putting locks on another player’s base. - Excessive destruction of a base structure without reason. - Destroying someone else's loot/vehicles in their base.

   • Glitching into a base is not allowed. Glitching includes but is not limited to:

   - Using garden plots, fireplaces or jumping out of cars to go through walls. - Excessive crawling/spin/roll to go through a window is considered a glitch. (Windows that you can easily crawl through is ok; big, open windows/openings that can fit a person. Think realistically).

   When boosting in to a base using vehicles/objects/players and you get stuck - it is your responsibility to get unstuck. Try relog or F11.

   • Only the following can be used to boost during a raid:

   - Player stacking cannot exceed a total of (2) players while standing on the ground, or - Barrels can be used, a total of (2) can be stacked (not allowed to combine 2 barrels and 2 player boost). - Vehicles can be used to boost over a wall, do not place anything on the vehicle.

5. Exploiting any loopholes is punishable Vehicles are highly unreliable and use at your own risk

   No compensation will be given if you lose a vehicle.

   Tips that may help prevent your vehicle from glitching:

   - Camonet/tarp can be used to cover a vehicle. This will make it act static which prevents if from moving during restarts. It also helps server performance. - Don’t park vehicles too close to walls or other structures, or inside garages/buildings. - If parking inside; always cover the vehicle with camonet/tarp. NOTE that vehicle may still bug out after uncovering it if parked to close to an object/structure. - If a car is flipped up-side-down you can use the small wrench to flip it. - You can push your vehicle forwards or backwards. Put it in neutral (N).

   We recommend you run a recording software

   Nvidia / Windows gamebar are examples. These can be used to save the last 5-20 minutes of gameplay.

   Video footage is required for any compensation. Video footage is also very valuable when reporting a rule breaker / cheater. If you are the one accused, your own video footage may clear your name.

   Please understand staff members are at liberty to act upon rule breakers as we see necessary. Rules are interpreted and defined by the admins. Rules are a subject of change and admin's word is law. Punishments will be based upon the offense and the attitude of the offender. Using common sense will help to avoid any sort of action being taken against you, please make sure to use it.

   When playing on The Northmen you are automatically succumbed under the rules. It is your responsibility as a player to read and understand the rules. If you have a question about a specific rule, please ask. (edited)

6. Amendment: Lootcycling of any kind, especially at military places is highly forbidden. We have encountered tons of loot just being dropped on the ground at multiple military sites recently and that will not be tolerated
