Help Policies9
We have added a new helpfile containing policies specific to raiding. Like all
of our policy files, this one is subject to change as necessary so that the
rules of the game keep pace with the ingenuity of some of our players. As with
any other rules changes, updates to the raiding policies will be publicly
announced on either this board or Mudinfo.

Help Keywords : POLICIES9 'PK RULES' 'RAIDING RULES'.
Hidden Keys : POLICY9 'POLICIES 9' 'RAID RULES'.

Raiding and PK offer the largest variety of strategies to use against your
opponents. This also means there are a wide variety of strategies- some
which may be legal, and some which may not. As new policies are deemed
illegal, they will be added to this policy list.
Just because this help file does not state something explicitly as illegal,
does not make it legal. If something sounds shady, consult an Imm. If none
are available, assume it is illegal until you are told otherwise; it is
likely the same strategy may apply again in the future.
Imms will not perform clan upgrades during a raid. If a problem exists in
the maze the usual policy will be to void the raid, pardon the raiders,
fix the problem, and then remove the raided clan's grace period. If a
problem occurs after the maze itself has been breached, the same policy
is recommended, but leaving the grace in place so the clan may have time
to request upgrades to their maze. If an immortal deems that a problem
can be fixed quickly, they may, at their discretion, correct the error
and allow the raid to continue. For example, if there is a one-way exit
in the main hall that should be two-way, or if a shopkeeper is flagged
incorrectly, the problem can be fixed quickly without scrapping the whole
raid.
A request to fix an illegal maze or object must be done within 7 days of
request by an Immortal. Failure to do so will result in a portal added
from the buffer room to clan recall until the issue is resolved.
Dropping items in a room with keywords that interfere with a room-based
portal is illegal. Interference is judged at Imm discretion, but 3-4
letter equivalence with the room portal can be considered interfering.
Any method to circumvent game mechanics related to raiding (preemptively
removing a timer, bypassing raider/defender/buy limits, circumventing rot
timers, etc.) should be considered a bug, and is subject to regular bug
abuse rules.
