The following is a simple code of conduct that players must consider when interacting in any game developed my Splitscreen studios. Failure to comply with these rules may result in actions taken against your account.
1. English is the Primary & preferred Language on All English & International Servers (Askone, Kalgan, Solaria &Aeria) controlled by the English GM Team.

(a) harass: Covers a wide range of offensive behavior. It is commonly understood as behavior intended to disturb or upset, and it is characteristically repetitive. In the legal sense, it is intentional behavior which is found threatening or disturbing
(b) “Grief”: Griefing is the act of chronically causing grief to other members of an online community, or more specifically, intentionally disrupting the immersion of another player in their game play
(c) Threats: A threat is an act of coercion wherein an act is proposed to elicit a negative response. It is a communicated intent to inflict harm or loss on another person. Threats made towards another Pilot will not be tolerated. This will result in immediate Jailing of 1 Week & Possible Ban of All Pilot Accounts
3. Use of offensive language in such as those that are of a racist nature, obscene, sexual, abusive, Drug use, real life threatening or anti-religious are strictly forbidden and will be punished accordingly ranging from warnings, muting, jailing or permanent banning depending on severity. Since harassment and offensive language is a broad term that can be interpretable in many ways, it is up to the discretion of the senior staff members to decide what is would be deems are harassing or offensive to a reasonable person.
The Penalty for violating Rules 1, 2 or 3 is Tier Based – The more you violate them the more severe your Penalty. Penalty starts with a Warning. After 3 Warnings you will be muted for a period of time. After the 4th Warning/2nd Mute you will be put on a Habitual Offender Standing & also go to Jail for a period of time.
