Today we unveil a great deal of new information related
to our Player Killing (PK) / Player vs. Player (PVP)
rules - see HELP PK, HELP PKRULES, and HELP PKCAUSE.

Read carefully, friends, and then think about it.
Give the new rules, actually more like clarifications,
some time to settle in. We'd like things to be as
clear as possible, so there are fewer misunderstandings
and, more importantly, fewer ISSUES!

The goal of these rules is to protect everyone's rights
to reasonable safety from unreasonable levels of
violence, insult, harassment, and the like.

HELP PK is sort of the overview. Might be a good
place to start.

HELP PKRULES has a nice summary at the beginning,
which might be all you need to read, at least in the
beginning. Read further over time, or as needed.

Then there's HELP PKCAUSE. It's all there to explain
what 'cause' is, and how you get it.

The realms of Achaea are more about the players than
they are about the rules - meaning we'd like you all
to have as much influence as possible, in character,
on your lives and how they are lived out. We would
prefer not to intervene with ISSUES - we'd prefer
that you find your own ways to solve things. Then
for those few cases where you really need our help
via ISSUES, we'll step in to fix things as best we can.
That is also part of the explanation for why we've
published these rules.
