Rules

Winston's World
COMING SOON!
 * 1) No real world town, nation, company, etc. Names; and keep these names tasteful and mostly serious.  We are trying to create our own unique world and would like to be able to reference names used on the server freely in public settings, and to have meaning to our players.
 * 2)   We do highly encourage some RPG elements that may be based in reality to make the world seem more full and interesting (ex. developing in game enemies and allies, building groups of people with shared interests and focuses, setting up a government for your town or nation, sharing your in game religion to others, giving other players quests and objectives to do what you need them to, etc.)
 * 3) Griefing and stealing are allowed on this server except within towny borders with properly setup permissions. (This primarily serves to manage some staff who have the permissions to bypass some protections.)
 * 4) Should we experience issues with towny, all griefing, stealing, and killing will be temporarily banned.
 * 5) Spawn killing of players is absolutely prohibited unless provoked.  Everyone should have the same chance to get started, because this server is rather unforgiving.
 * 6) Players will not go above the nether ceiling.
 * 7) Spawn designation will be determined by the following factors:
 * 8) Each year (5 days, subject to change), towns will be assessed for eligibility to become the Winston's World spawn town.
 * 9) If a town has grown to be a larger town than the current spawn town on the server, they may apply to have the spawn moved to their town.
 * 10) Towns must have a religious building already built, with the following requirements:
 * 11) An amount of space/altar to use as a spawn point.
 * 12) A NewGods altar for the god that will be "spawning these new players" into the world.
 * 13) Space to house any required signage that will explain the server to newcomers.
 * 14) No entrapments, killing systems, or unfair advantages to prevent new players from leaving the town in which they spawn in.  The spawn town is meant to be a place where players are able to safely join the server, learn about how it works, then set out on their own adventure.
 * 15) This religious building may be claimed under a server governing body to ensure that these rules are kept in check and followed.
 * 16) It is a privilege for players to be able to host the spawn point, not a right.  Any failure to properly welcome newcomers upon joining, and to follow these rules will lead to actionable penalties and consequences as determined by the Lead-Scientist.
 * 17) Notifications of lag should be reported to the Lag Notifications channel on the Discord.

Discord Server
As of currently, please use the same rules as the Minecraft Server.
 * 1) Discussions are to be kept in their respective channels as defined by the channel names and descriptions.
 * 2) Separate the in game player persona from the players themselves.  This especially applies to Winston's World players.
 * 3) Please treat all players with the greatest amount of respect possible.  The Discord server is meant to be a place to discuss the game and how it's going in a friendly and welcoming environment.
 * 4) In some channels, discussions may be kept in the in game persona (such as in the Winston's World bulletin board), please beware of whether the way you're treating someone makes sense given the context of the channel that the discussion is occurring in.
 * 5) Spamming is to be minimized and will result in actionable penalties to individuals.
 * 6) There are some spammable channels dedicated to certain genres of spam such as Lag Notifications, where players may inform the staff of lag issues.
